Films in Brief
Push is a documentary about the global housing crisis. It’s a bracing but necessary look at the financialization of what should be a human right.
The fourth season of the television adaptation of Fargorecently began. It’s one of the best shows currently on the air, a darkly funny and endlessly quirky crime saga.
The latest big nature docuseries isn’t actually big at all. Tiny World focuses on the teeniest denizens of our planet, and is quite delightful for it.
Historical Engineering Disasters
We’ve previously written about Well There’s Your Problem, a “podcast with slides” about historical engineering disasters. The latest episode is a gargantuan look at the underlying structural problems with the old World Trade Center, which contributed to the towers’ collapse on September 11th. It’s supremely mordant and also highly informative.
