What to Watch: Cate Blanchett, Kevin Kline, and Sacha Baron Cohen star in Alfonso Cuaron’s AppleTV series Disclaimer. Very, very good so far.
+ What to Hear: “Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of Hamilton, and playwright Eisa Davis, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, have created a new Broadway musical — which is not actually on Broadway. Instead, it’s a concept album, meant to be listened to in one sitting. That idea came about because Miranda wanted to write something about The Warriors, the 1979 cult-classic movie about members of a Coney Island street gang who are trying to get back home to Brooklyn after they’re accused of assassinating a leader advocating for peace.” NPR: Lin-Manuel Miranda’s new musical is based on a cult movie — and is for your ears only. And, surprise, it’s great. Check out Warriors on Spotify. And maybe go back and watch the movie, too. Can you dig it!?
