Culture Gabfest: the Beyhive swarms the box office

Life &amp;amp; Art presents <a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/culture-gabfest/2023/12/beyonces-renaissance-goes-where-homecoming-didnt" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">a special episode from Slate’s Culture Gabfest podcast</a>, hosted by culture critics Stephen Metcalf, Dana Stevens and Julia Turner. The three hosts first explore Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé with Slate culture writer (and Beyhive stan) Nadira Goffe. Then, they consider Todd Haynes’ <a href="https://slate.com/culture/2023/11/priscilla-movie-elvis-presley-age-gap-may-december.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">May December</a>, an emotionally curious, tonally dissonant study of life’s grey areas starring Natalie Portman, longtime collaborator Julianne Moore and Charles Melton. Finally, the three are joined by EEFOP (Exceedingly Exceptional Friend of the Pod), Slate writer Dan Kois to discuss <a href="https://slate.com/culture/2023/11/the-grinch-dr-seuss-book-sequel-stole-christmas-lost-review.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Lost Christmas!</a>, a posthumous sequel to Theodor Geisel’s iconic 1957 children’s book. Life &amp;amp; Art will return with regular episodes next week. -------We love hearing from you! Write us.
