Pop culture offerings are slimmed down this month — everyone was tired after the big anniversary issue, perhaps! — but there’s still lots of What Now to discuss, from the death of Acid House to the Brady ladies to Axl Rose’s tresses, and…everything in between? A remarkably effusive Watch It delivers four-star reviews to the likes of Criminal Law, The Return Of Swamp Thing, and Big Man On Campus, but no love for Earth Girls Are Easy. Opinions are divided on Listen Up’s Hit (They Might Be Giants) and Bomb (Tiffany’s sophomore album). And Pam tries to keep it together through our lone pop culture profile, of her one-time crush Peter DeLuise. Pause Electric Youth (just for now) and join us!
