Some movie theaters will be reopening for business in New York City this weekend. Despite the restrictions in place, I personally don’t know when I’d feel comfortable sitting in a theater again. In the meantime, new media continues to be released online apace. This week, we have articles on a Marvel TV show, a restored antiwar comedy documentary, an invaluable Black archive, and more. Enjoy!
