This piece originally ran in January 2014. We are republishing it as a new season of Broad City kicks off. The parents of web stars Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer have already seen their girls do things like smoke pot, disrobe, and poop on-camera (while using rainmakers to poorly camouflage the sound) in the name of comedy. With tonight’s debut of their new Comedy Central show, Broad City, loosely based on their lives as two cash-strapped pals living in New York, Jacobson and Glazer tell Vulture it’s only going to get worse.

On three decades — and nearly 3,000 shows. Bob Dylan. Photo-Illustration: CBS/Getty Images Bob Dylan. 1. Bob Dylan’s Never Ending Tour has been running for 30 years now. The music industry will celebrate an anniversary of just about anything — there was a 20th anniversary edition of Joan Osborne’s Relish — and the compliant music press will help push a little product to mark the occasion. As what has come to be known as Bob Dylan’s Never Ending Tour has proceeded year in and year out, one remarkable thing is that no benchmarks have been noted.

Fans of Vanderpump Rules may be wondering how Ariana Madix missed the signs that her boyfriend, Tom Sandoval, and her best friend, Raquel Leviss, were having an affair — but what about the signs that we missed? Looking back at the series, the red flags were there all along, but Sandoval and his bros were just too good at hiding them from us. After that absolute blockbuster of a season finale, many of us are revisiting our reactions to some of the past scandals that have played out on the show: Tom finally admitting to sleeping with “Miami Girl” forces us to reexamine a key moment in series lore and how we evaluated the cast members’ responses to it back then.

With a little creativity, these excellent games work virtually. Photo-Illustration: Vulture and Retailers Board games are having a moment right now, but there’s a tight constraint on the craze, since our options for players are limited to the folks with whom we’re self-isolating. That’s all well and good if you have other gamers in the house — I am fortunate that I do — but maybe you’d like to play with other people, or play games that involve more players, or just try something a little different.

Carrie Coon and Morgan Spector very clearly know what this show is, and watching them both commit to it with their whole damn bodies is inspiring. The facts of Julian Fellowes’s HBO series The Gilded Age are pleasant on their own: The biggest arc for season two is the Opera War, in which the future of New York society is fought via a proxy battle for box seats at the opera, with a lightly fictionalized Vanderbilt figure named Mrs.

If you’re anything like us, you couldn’t wait to watch Netflix’s latest fantasy series, Shadow and Bone. An adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s original Grisha trilogy and the Six of Crows duology, the magical drama is filled with incredible world-building, complex heroes, rakish heists, and enticing villains. But if bingeing the eight-episode first season only left you wanting more, we have you covered. Whether you’re new to fantasy or well-versed in the expansive genre, building out your reading list can seem intimidating without some guidance.

Damian Lewis as the tormented lead in The Forsyte Saga. Oh, Downton Abbey. We’ll miss your soapy shenanigans, class dynamics, romance, and yes, even your most miserable moments. And after six seasons, we’re going to need something to fill that upstairs-downstairs void in our lives. To assist in smoothly transitioning to a post-Crawley life, we’ve highlighted 11 Downtonesque shows that are excellent contenders to be your next favorite period drama.

James Brown lived a lot of life. So it’s inevitable then that the James Brown biopic Get On Up — even with a running time of 138 minutes — might have to leave some of it out. (Read our review of the movie here.) The fact that it’s PG-13 means that the more scandalous parts of the singer’s life go untouched. Born in the post-Reconstructionist South in 1933, James Brown went on to become the “Godfather of Soul,” first as part of a group (the best known iteration is the Famous Flames), and then as a solo artist.

Succession did a lot of things right — hiring Nicholas Britell to compose its instantly delectable theme music and score the show, turning Mr. Darcy into the sniveling sycophant that is Tom Wambsgans, making Willa write the flop play Sands that bankrupts her sugar daddy. For all I can tell, the only thing that it did wrong was exclude that ludicrously capacious bag from its online auction of random Succession props.

The folk singer on her memoir, Hadestown, and reckoning with the 1990s. Photo: Victoria Stevens Less than two minutes into our interview, Ani DiFranco says the word fuck for the first time, and it sounds like music. The f is fricative and percussive, much like DiFranco’s habit of thwacking the side of her acoustic guitar as she plays it. Then comes the vowel sound, which has a gentle lilt that mirrors the way DiFranco sings: in dulcet tones that sometimes give way to a guttural growl.
