This week, Bowen Yang dropped a blind item , the long arm of a Disney+ trial subscription was tested and we said goodbye to a great leading lady . Here's what NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour crew was paying attention to — and what you should check out this weekend. Bel-Air, streaming on Peacock Bel-Air, now it its third season, is a gritty, dramatic reboot of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Same setting, same premise, but with an entirely new cast. We follow Will (Jabari Banks) on his journey from Philly to Bel-Air to seek out a better life for himself. I remember going in very skeptical and came out pleasantly surprised.
If you're a fan of the original sitcom, this version of the show is how the sitcom characters imagine themselves — refined, swanky, high-living, LA lifestyle. It’s enjoyable to watch and I am excited that it keeps getting renewed. — Ronald Young Jr.
Thank Goodness You’re Here game Thank Goodness You're Here is an indie game available on a variety of platforms, including Nintendo Switch, Playstation and MacOS. The player is a lemon-headed little British dude in the pleasantly shabby, fictional village of Barnsworth, where the locals are always asking you to perform little jobs for them — fixing the fryer in the fish and chip shop, fetching some butter so that the guy with his arm wedged in the sewer grate can escape, bringing meat to the meat pie shop. It's very bright, very colorful, very cartoony in design -- though not so much in sensibility.
It's go.
