January 17, 2025 - Week in Review: The TikTok ban, David Lynch, and Bad Bunny

55:29 |

About The Episode

Culture Show co-hosts Jared Bowen, Callie Crossley and Edgar B. Herwick III  go over the latest headlines on our arts and culture week in review:

First up:  the Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision upholding a law requiring TikTok’s Chinese parent company to sell the platform in order for the app to continue operations in the United States. What could this mean for the social media juggernaut, and for free speech?

From there, we remember the legacy of the innovative and industrious filmmaker, artist and composer David Lynch, who died at age 78. He radicalized film and influenced a generation of actors and directors.   

And California is still ablaze, leaving a number of architectural landmarks in ashes and disrupting awards season, prompting a debate if they should be televised–or even happen– amid the devastation.

Finally, Bad Bunny returns to his roots with a concert residency in Puerto Rico.
