Easter Eggs

This Easter, my brain feels split in two: with one part warbling In your Easter bonnetttt a la Judy in Easter Parade, and the other part researching the Easter eggs in Beyonce’s newest album Cowboy Carter (hello Dolly! hey Willy! Wait, is that a Beach Boys sampling??).

Either way, finding my way through this pop culture landscape has me tired and weary. I don’t know how to feel about anything… and you know it’s hopeless when I waffle back and forth on Sarah Sherman’s latest Weekend Update foray as Central Park’s beloved owl Flaco’s grieving widow (say that five times fast). Here it is for you to ponder as well:

OK it is pretty funny, but also who? Anyway, the Chair will be back next week, Beyonce and Judy still in tow, and new pop culture and politics to consider and reconsider. Or we just give it all up like Lizzo (what is THAT about?). Till then…

Grouch Potato

The Chair is sitting one out this week — let’s call it pop culture grouchiness. Is he watching TV — sure but is Beef all it’s cracked up to be? Is he keeping up with new movies or just watching the Barbie trailer 100 times in a post-Oscar haze? He’s even listening to A.I. Drake — and well… meh. Sometimes you just gotta know when your takes are no longer hot, and instead they’re just… sour.

So rejoin us next week when the takes are fresher.. but always a little salty. In the meantime enjoy this video of Lizzo performing in Tennessee with a whole crew of Drag Queens as she sings “Everybody’s Gay.” Yes, Lizzo, yes.
