Weekly Roundup: “Toto,” “Waitress,” and One-Star Reviews of Parenting Experiences

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is Toto, by A.J. Hackwith, which is a look at the Wizard of Oz story from the perspective of Toto the dog. He tells us, "I was mostly a Good Dog until they sold me out to animal control, okay?" which sounds like a take we'd like to hear.​Terri's random recommendation this week is a filmed version of a stage production of Waitress, starring Sara Bareilles and streaming on Max. We've talked about the show and the movie before, and Terri found this an enjoyable way to make use of her Max subscription. Mentioned: A song from the show, "She Used to Be Mine," performed by Jeremy Jordan, Jessie Mueller, and the show's creator, Sara Bareilles.In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2021 on one-star reviews of parenting experiences. Mentioned: "7 Surprisingly Busy Days in the Life of an Experimental Theater Maker" at the New York Times (gift link).Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E11, "The Hunting Party," on Tuesday, March 4A Man on the Inside S1 E6, "Our Man in Sacramento," on Wednesday, March 5Weekly roundup on Thursday, March 6Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
