Weekend Whats

What to Doc: After her painting gets stolen, an artist finds the thief and thus begins one of the most complex, interesting, and engaging relationships I’ve ever seen in a documentary. The Painter and the Thief is available on Hulu, and rentable most everywhere else.

+ What to Poetry: America fell in love with Amanda Gorman during the inauguration. She was already great when she recorded Earthrise, her poem about climate change.

+ What to Hear: Of all the bands I’ve recommended, I probably got the most positive responses about The Black Pumas. Somehow, this relatively new group was included in the Biden Inaugural Celebration. Check out the performance and then stream the rest of the album.
