Pop culture panel: reboot mania, teen girl tears, Coachella kiss
Three culturally-savvy commentators weigh in on the hottest headlines in the world of entertainment.
Q's pop culture panel reconvenes to discuss this week's top arts and entertainment stories. Guest host Gill Deacon checks in with freelance writer Anupa Mistry, Esquire culture columnist Stephen Marche and Washington Post culture critic Alyssa Rosenberg. At issue today:
- Full House, Twin Peaks, The X-Files — If we're in the supposed "golden age of television" why are we recycling so many show ideas from the past?
- Is the media being disproportionately harsh on "hysterical" fans of One Direction, who recently cried out en masse about Zayn Malik's exit from the band
- Was the visceral reaction to Madonna kissing Drake on stage during Coachella justified? Does it raise deeper questions?
