Pop Culture

• Catherine Cohen — millennial comedian and Gen Z idol — released her Netflix comedy special The Twist…? She’s Gorgeous this week. “What follows is an hour-long musical odyssey into the comedian's mind, where she melds the glamor of an old-school cabaret star with the scattered thoughts of an Instagram #girlboss who just can't seem to put her phone down. But she bears enough self-awareness to draw out the absurdity of her stereotypically millennial antics,” says NPR.

• Speaking of comedians, I’m thoroughly charmed by Taylor Tomlinson (not to be confused with Taylor Momsen). “As a touring comedian, Tomlinson now sells out theaters with an audience she has cultivated onstage and online, particularly through her hugely popular TikTok presence,” Vulture writes.

• Reality TV pioneer Bunim-Murray is on board to produce NFT-funded unscripted series. Gonna be riveting, I’m sure!

So an NFT is I give you money and I get nothing, do I have that right?
