How To Know Things: Pop Culture Edition

Hi. ‘Tis me, your friend who knows what to watch on Netflix. Nothing has caused me greater pain in 2020 than learning how many of you don’t know you’re supposed to be watching You and Cheer. (You know I’m kidding, right?) Regardless, let my ridiculousness be your gain.

How To Know Things

Twitter! Sorry to my Twitter haters, but it’s true. Follow comedians, because guess what, they’re almost all tv writers. Also? Follow authors, actors, podcasters - whoever - anyone who’s funny and who’s taste you share. Odds are, the thing they’re tweeting about is something you’d like.

Ta-da! That’s it.

Here are some folks who are usually talking about what’s popular at the moment:

I undoubtedly left off all kinds of people from this list. Tell me, who do you follow for the latest in pop culture? Do you follow specific people for tv commentary, or do you just raw-dog the Netflix queue? Inquiring minds want to know!
