November 22, 2024 - Week in Review: Wicked, Gladiator II, and Cher

Today Culture Show co-hosts Jared Bowen, Callie Crossley and Edgar B. Herwick III go over the latest headlines on our arts and culture week-in-review.First up, Boston University suspends admissions its PhD programs in the humanities and social sciences.From there  something to sing about, Charlestown Rehearsal Studios, home to hundreds of musicians, will stay open and operational And, something to not sing about, literally. AMC Theaters is warning moviegoers that singing along during  the musical film Wicked is not allowed..Then, is BU actually onto something? Do we really need degrees in the humanities if  AI generated poetry is preferable to works penned by people?Plus,  if anyone out there still reads  material written by real  humans…assuming that Cher is real and not some diva deity, part one of her memoir dropped this week.
