Reinking in 1977. Our year of loss continues with the death of the astonishing Ann Reinking, one of the queens of Broadway. Known best as Bob Fosse’s muse and the bearer of his tradition, she was also a smoky-voiced singer and Tony Award–winning choreographer, an expert in all the arts of crafting a body onstage. Reinking was a link in a great chain of U.S. choreography that passes through Fosse to Jack Cole and beyond, and her delight and humility and belief in that continuous quality is there in her work.

HBO’s David Milch–Michael Mann horse-racing drama Luck sneakily premiered last December after the Boardwalk Empire finale. This Sunday night Luck begins its nine-episode run with an encore of the premiere (read our review here), officially firing the starting gun on a season of weathered scowls, profanity-filled Milch-ian dialogue, and troughs full of testosterone. With Milch and Mann working off-screen and Dustin Hoffman, Nick Nolte, and Dennis Farina on it, this show is full of enough machismo to kill a horse.
And so what is likely the last video off Katy Perry’s indomitable Teenage Dream arrives — mouth gear, continuity issues, Rebecca Black, and all. As has been teased pretty hard for the past few weeks, in the video for Song of Summer contender “Last Friday Night (TGIF),” Perry playsKathy Beth Terry, a nerd in the Sixteen Candles mold who has huge glasses, a brace face, and just threw a rager. Perry continues to prove herself to be an ace nostalgist, making the whole thing an extended homage to an eighties teen movie, with dozens of anachronistic flourishes (in this eighties movie, all the morning-after pictures end up on the Internet) and celebrity cameos.
Kristen Stewart, Ella Balinska, and Naomi Scott in Charlie’s Angels. You could chart a mini arc of corporate feminism onto the Charlie’s Angels franchise. When it premiered in its original form on ABC in 1976, it was a marshmallow-light Aaron Spelling creation that proved to resistant network heads that audiences really would show up for a women-led hour-long series — especially if those women went scantily clad and braless (a rival exec decried it as “jiggle television”).

If the politics of our current world feel violent and chaotic, just wait to see what we get up to in the far-flung future of Amazon Prime Video’s The Expanse. One of the breakout stars of the show’s main cast of characters is Dominique Tipper’s Naomi Nagata, a former terrorist with a dark past — she was a freedom fighter for the beleaguered underclass living and working in the asteroid belt (known as Belters), sabotaging Earther ships with her lover Marco Inaros (Keon Alexander) until her conscience got the better of her and she left her old life behind.
