In an age when A.I. is threatening to soullessly digest all that is written, we at The New Yorker believe in the old-fashioned human-written word, and we deliver many, many of these to you every day, every week. With our cultural guidance in Goings On and across our platforms, we investigate the nuances of what makes popular artists tick, and bring you the scoop on the up-and-comers who are creating boundary-pushing art and fomenting new conversations along the way. Guiding readers through the cultural landscape has been part of the magazine’s purpose since the very first issue, in 1925. Today, our Goings On critics are deeply enmeshed in the happenings of their respective genres, and they take great care in sharing their knowledge and analysis with our readers. (To get Goings On delivered weekly to your inbox, you can sign up here—it’s free.)
Each season, we publish a definitive compendium highlighting some of the most exciting events of the season—in movies and TV, on Broadway and Off Broadway, and in dance, art, rock, pop, and classical music—in New York City and beyond. This fall, our television critic Inkoo Kang notes a trend in dystopian tech stories, and also highlights a new comedy, called “Brothers,” starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as . . . Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Our movie critic Richard Brody brings word of Olivia Colman in “Wicker,” who commissions a husband woven from the substance, as well as of Aaron Sorkin’s sequel to “The Social Network,” with Jeremy Strong as the Facebook mastermind. And did you know that Lance Oppenheim has not one but two movies coming out this fall? He co-directed the Nathan Fielder documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, “You Can See Everything,” which had an extremely buzzy surprise screening at Telluride last weekend, and he directed “Primetime,” starring Robert Pattinson, about the dark side of the making of the TV show “To Catch a Predator.”
These are just a few premières to look forward to; read our previews to discover so much more. (Roy Lichtenstein at the Whitney! Julia Louis-Dreyfus in “Other Desert Cities,” at the Hudson! Phoebe Bridgers at Barclays!) Thank you for supporting our work. |
