    THIS WEEK ON The Monitor we’re getting a little nostalgic.

    It’s not that we’re talking about the pleasures of old, mind you. It’s just that a lot of things dominating our entertainment landscape right now remind us of bygone days. Vacation didn’t live up to the National Lampoon’s movies of yesteryear, and didn’t even make $15 million in its opening weekend. Meanwhile, Netflix dropped Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp on Friday and our love of the series—and the movie that came before it—is immeasurable. Oh, and we’re still waiting for Frank Ocean to drop his new record so we can stop spinning Nostalgia, Ultra and crying sad tears.

    We’ve got editors and contributors Jordan Crucchiola, Peter Rubin, K.M. McFarland, and Angela Watercutter back from camp and cracking wise. Check ‘em out below.

    Here are a few helpful links for things we talk about in the podcast:

    -K.M. McFarland’s piece on the new Netflix series Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp -Angela Watercutter’s story on the Tom Cruise and Simon Pegg bromance in Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation -The mysterious site probably/possibly tied to Frank Ocean’s new album -The New York Times Magazine story on the Weeknd

    WE GOT SOME virtual insanity for you on the Monitor podcast this week.

    For one, we’re talking about Pixels, its videogame-inspired alien invasion, and whether or not Adam Sandler’s career is virtually over (or at least should be). After that, we’re on to True Detective and how the show finally unveiled the much-talked-about orgy scene. This part doesn’t really have anything to with anything virtual, but it was fairly well-done and tasteful! And finally, we’re talking about Oculus Story Studio’s new virtual reality experience Henry, which is about a lonely hedgehog who loves hugs. (Awww…)

    We’ve got editors and contributors Jordan Crucchiola, Peter Rubin, K.M. McFarland, and Angela Watercutter in the booth and three out of four of them get emotional about sad hedgehogs in this week’s episode. You’ll have to listen to find out which ones.

    Here are a few helpful links for things we talk about in the podcast:

    -WIRED’s sort-of review of Pixels -K.M. McFarland’s recap of True Detective -Angela Watercutter’s story on how Oculus Story Studio made their latest VR experience Henry

  6. Wired Entertainment Podcast Episode 9

    ADMITTEDLY, WE’RE A little bleary in this week’s Monitor podcast. Most of us just got back from Comic-Con International in San Diego and the long days of panels, cosplay, and events have taken their toll.

    That doesn’t mean, however, that we don’t have things to say. SDCC gave us a ton of things to talk about, ranging from the devotion of Hannibal fans to the ethics of leaking the movie footage studios bring to Hall H. Pull up a chair. We’ve got editors and contributors Jordan Crucchiola, Peter Rubin, K.M. McFarland, and Angela Watercutter chatting up a storm and we want you in the eye of it. We promise it won’t kill you; and, unlike the Joker, it won’t even just hurt you really, really bad.

    Also, here are a few helpful links for things we talk about in the podcast:

    -Jordan Crucchiola’s piece on why leaking Comic-Con trailers is a bad move -WIRED’s collection of the best official trailers to come out of Comic-Con -Our thoughts on that surprise Star Wars concert -Angela Watercutter’s story on the 10 most Jennifer Lawrence things J-Law said at Comic-Con -Jordan Crucchiola’s story on Hannibal fandom -On the awesomeness of Ash vs. Evil Dead -Angela Watercutter’s story on how other studios brought superhero power in Marvel Studios’ absence -K.M.

  8. Wired Entertainment Podcast Episode 3

    FIRST OFF, MEA culpa. We’re a little late getting you this week’s entertainment podcast. The forces of evil (absent colleagues, deadlines, etc.) conspired against us and we just couldn’t get into the booth. Sorry about that.

    But being a bit late also means we have a lot more to talk about. For example, Chance the Rapper’s crew the Social Experiment dropped their much-anticipated album Surf and gave us a lot to gush over. We also had more time to analyze the fun disaster of San Andreas and binge-watch Hannibal to talk about our favorite prestige horror TV shows. We got editors and contributors Jordan Crucchiola, Peter Rubin, K.M. McFarland, and Angela Watercutter in the house and they all have hot takes ready to go. Hungry for what we’re cooking? Hit “Play” below.

    Also, here are a few helpful links for things we talk about in the podcast:

    -WIRED’s Hannibal binge-watching guide -Jezebel’s piece on Jen Kirkman’s podcast appearance -Fader’s cover story on Chance the Rapper, the Social Experiment, and the making of Surf -Surf by Donnie Trumpet and the Social Experiment for free on iTunes

    See you next week—we promise we won’t be so tardy to the party!
