Curtain Call: Twilight Los Angeles 1992

Twilight Los Angeles, 1992 10/10

"Nearly thirty years after the Los Angeles uprising following the Rodney King verdict, Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 returns home to the Mark Taper Forum to be reimagined with an ensemble cast for a new generation of audiences. A powerful piece of living record and one of the most important works in the history of the Taper, Twilight is a stunning and seminal play that explores the devastating human impact of the five days of uprising following the Rodney King verdict. From nine months of over 300 interviews conducted during the year following the uprising, playwright and scholar Anna Deavere Smith crafted a play that goes directly to the heart of the issues of race and class."

The Review: The Mandalorian Season 3

The Mandalorian Season 3 (6/10)

This previous season of The Mandalorian while it was good it was not close to as entertaining as previous seasons. This felt like TV shows back when I was younger that came out in the '70s '80s and early '90s where there would be episodes where the main character was barely in it and it focused mainly on side characters or new characters. Next thing you know you realize that it was setting up for a spin-off. That's what this season felt like. I remember on Married with Children there were a few episodes where the same thing happened and I just sat there like “What the hell does this have to do anything with the show?” It was cool and everything but I didn't like the way the main villain was taken out and that maybe half the season focused on the Mandalorian. I did not hate the season but I'm not excited for another one the same way I was after season one and season two.
