Bert I. Gordon rides again, with an excellent encoding of one of his more popular sci-fi monster-ramas. Pert ‘n’ perky June Kenney is so brave that she keeps going back to ‘that old cave outside of town,’ despite not knowing how many giant spiders are on the loose. Teenagers in their thirties and their bebop-crazy rock ‘n’ roll are no match for Gordon’s titanic, screaming arachnid. This spidey is just plain shifty, the kind of unscrupulous fiend that colors his crayons outside the (matte) lines … in crimson B&w blood! June Kenney’s mom knows her girl only two well: “… I hope she hasn’t gone back to that cave.” With some excellent extras, namely about a million rare behind-the-scenes stills from Tom Weaver.

A little shakeup came to the New Yorker Tuesday as editor David Remnick announced that Pulitzer Prize-winning Emily Nussbaum would be expanding past her role as television critic and Doreen St. Félix would be moving into the position.
In an email to staff Tuesday, he wrote, “Emily Nussbaum, who has written so magnificently about television for the past nine years–and, along the way, won a Pulitzer Prize for criticism and published “I Like To Watch: Arguing My Way Through The TV Revolution”–has told me that she wants to expand her writing into other areas: Profiles, reported pieces, essays. And so it shall be, but with a pause: Beginning January 1st, Emily will be on a year-long leave to work on a book on early reality TV.”

[Editor’s Note: The following article contains spoilers for “Barry” Season 1, including the finale.]
Months before “Barry” debuted and the world got to know a bored hitman who finds his dream in a North Hollywood acting studio, Bill Hader wasn’t overly impressed with his work.
“They’re both very hard,” Hader said when asked which was more difficult: acting badly for comedic effect or acting well in convincing fashion. He has to do both in the HBO series, portraying an actor who makes (many) on-stage mistakes while learning his trade and who goes to extreme ends of the emotional spectrum while living his life off-stage.
“For bad acting, watching reenactments in true crime shows was helpful. It really was. I would watch those and imagine, ‘Ok, they’re doing too much with their hands,’ or ‘they’re locked onto somebody,’ or ‘everything is overly thought out.'”
“But it’s very hard,” he said. “I don’t think...
