Yellowstone 1883
Though most fans would probably be loathe to admit it, Taylor Sheridan’s TV series, Yellowstone, is a ‘Rope Opera.’ How does its prequel, 1883, fare?

Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before
A harsh lampooning of Morrissey has KK wondering if it’s still acceptable to love The Smiths. The April 18 episode of The Simpsons (1989) was a searing parody of Morrissey, and the Moz has lashed back.
