I don’t know if people who missed its original run in the 2000s will appreciate its quirks, but as a devotee of the show from way back, this “Scrubs” reboot is like hanging out with old friends.

Celebrating Mardi Gras the best way we know how: watching Bourdain’s “Parts Unknown” episode. It gets weird.

Michael Mann with a “Bullitt” chaser. A film that knows it doesn’t matter what happens to its characters if they don’t first feel real. I haven’t yet read the @donwinslow.bsky.social novella, but I’ll be getting to that soon. Fantastic.
