Pop culture panel: Degrassi goes Netflix, Melissa McCarthy, Jaws returns
Stephen Marche, Rachel Giese and Carl Wilson weigh in on the latest headlines in arts and entertainment.
This week's q pop culture panel — Stephen Marche, Rachel Giese and Carl Wilson — weighs in on the latest headlines in the world of arts and entertainment.
At issue today:
- Following news that the cancelled TV series Degrassi will be moving to Netflix, we reflect on the cultural impact of the long-running Canadian teen drama.
- As Melissa McCarthy tops the box office with Spy, we look at the new wave of women in comedy and female humour that isn't about being (or not being) pretty.
- Look out! Jaws will soon be returning to movie theatres, which raises the question: have summer blockbusters jumped the shark?
