Jerry Seinfeld wants you to live in the moment
Once Papa concluded his routine, Seinfeld came out with his full-fledged charm and larger-than-life bravado. For the next hour and a half, Seinfeld brought us to hysterics only with a wooden stool, a bottle of water, and his iconic voice. Read More

‘All the President’s Men’ deserves a rewatch
Though the book is far more detailed and exact, the 1976 film–starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford–expresses the paranoia of the era in all of its creeping eeriness. Read More

However, vaporware is geared toward a particular appeal: nostalgia. Vaporwave artists have sampled infomercials, television theme songs and smooth jazz; at its best, the genre transforms the hollow […]
