10 times J.B. Smoove was the best part of Curb Your Enthusiasm
Those of us who felt compelled to rewatch beloved shows during the more locked-down days of the pandemic may have noticed a certain “ruckus” was missing from the earlier seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
10 best needle drops in Reservation Dogs (so far)
The characters on Reservation Dogs love to sing—and we’re not just talking about the ones played by real musicians. (On the show, Sten Joddi portrays fictional rapper Punkin Lusty, Bear’s dad, and Lil Mike and Funny Bone take on Mose and Mekko, two rappers who bike and take their tunes around the neighborhood.)
The 10 best needle drops in Yellowjackets
For a show mostly about girls in the woods—and a not insignificant amount about eating people—music plays a major role in seasons one and two of Yellowjackets. We’ve got the trippy original theme song (covered recently by Alanis Morisette), those tracks Florence + the Machine did for the show, and plenty of unforgettable, character-selected jams, like Misty’s show tunes and the rage anthems Jeff blasts alone in the car. Music nods show up in dialogue, too, as when Van eulogizes poor son of a bitch Rachel plane-side, saying, had she not died in the crash, “she was going to see Oasis at the Meadowlands the next month—now she’s never going to hear ‘Wonderwall’ again.” They’re all over the characters’ respective wardrobes, too: Van reportedly lives in Sleater-Kinney tour shirts; we see Shauna rock a “Yo La Tengo for President” tee; and Nat reps The Pixies. While the songs in Yellowjackets are each thoughtfully placed, we decided to toast the season-two finale on May 26 by ranking the 10 best-used cuts (so far).
