Nigella: At My Table
Streaming on Genius Kitchen
Even before I picked up Nigella Lawson’s new cookbook, At My Table, I was preparing some of the latest recipes featured on her BBC series of the same name. Her pasta with anchovies, tomatoes and mascarpone is already a regular weeknight dinner at my own table, and I’m now obsessed with everything copper thanks to the show’s color scheme. Like her last few series, Nigella: At My Table is so beautifully shot and produced, it’ll put your garden-variety American cooking shows to shame. And the book is a perfect companion. — John Russell, Staff Writer
TV Bucket List
The Handmaid’s Tale Exhibit
Included with SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film admission
Praise be! Can’t get enough of the drama starring Elisabeth Moss? Then get thee to Atlanta’s Savannah College of Art and Design to see “Dressing for Dystopia,” showcasing more than 40 garments created by costume designer Ane Crabtree from the Emmy-winning Hulu series. This incredible, can’t-miss exhibit runs through August 12. — Jim Halterman, West Coast Bureau Chief
Master Class
Drunk History
Season 5 resumes Tuesday, June 19
School was never my thing. I daydreamed in class and probably missed out on a lot. I wish Comedy Central’s Drunk History had been around then. Each episode starts with a celebrity narrator laying out the tale of an intriguing historical figure as he or she slowly becomes intoxicated. The account is then acted out by a rotating cast of actors and comedians, like Colin Hanks (above), who played Fred Rogers as told by comic Solomon Georgio earlier this season. This show deserves an A-plus. — Jennifer Halper, Photo Editor
App-tastic
America’s Next Top Model Mobile Game
Available for iOS and Android
After 24 cycles of ANTM, fans finally have the chance to model alongside the fiercely “flawsome” host, Tyra Banks. Create your own personalized avatar and smize your way through booking jobs, collecting coins and gaining followers on Model’s in-game social app, Chirp. From styling your avatar to working the runway, this game is seriously addictive. Keep an eye out for the addition of Cycle 24 winner Kyla Coleman to the mix. — Kathleen Thieme, Editorial Intern
Guilty Pleasure
Amazon Prime Video’s B-Movies
Stream for $8.99/month
During my college years, I loved watching USA’s Up All Night, hosted by Gilbert Gottfried and Rhonda Shear, and getting my fill of B-movies. Those days are long gone, but I’ve found a great alternative in Amazon Prime Video’s movie recommendations — and I can’t get enough! If you watch one under-appreciated movie, the “More Like…” section on the home page unlocks a treasure chest of suggested cult films. A recent favorite find: Star Raiders: The Adventures of Saber Raine (starring Casper Van Dien,). — Mike Ankener, Marketing Director
