11 Movies and TV Series That Beautifully Portray Death & Grief In doing research before tackling the second draft of my novel, I'm rewatching (or watching for the first time) the best of the best. But what titles did I miss?

This may sound like a downer subject but it’s anything but. Plus, I’ll take any excuse to watch SIX FEET UNDER and BUFFY’s β€œThe Body” episode! open.substack.com/pub/jimhalte...

Why Everyone's Talking About Stephen Colbert, CBS, The FCC And James Talarico
Why Everyone's Talking About Stephen Colbert, CBS, The FCC And James Talarico YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Colbert has truly had a great relationship with CBS, even after he was told his contract wasn’t going to be renewed. So let me say: It’s stunning to me that, as he explains here, nobody at CBS told Colbert about the statement today.

This is a must-watch: youtu.be/OQIljje2B_Q?...
