This week's q pop culture panel — Stephen Marche, Rachel Giese and Briony Smith — discusses the latest headlines in the world of arts and entertainment.
At issue this week:
(1) Did TV Land overreact by pulling The Dukes of Hazzard? Are wider efforts to pull the confederate flag knee-jerk and shallow, or culturally significant?
(2) Does Rihanna's new video glorify violence against women? Or is it a subversive revenge fantasy?
(3) Is Magic Mike XXL empowering or exploitative? Does it get heterosexual female sexuality wrong?
