Chicago Party Aunt: What happens when Netflix brings a Twitter account to life: Late last year, Netflix introduced us to the first season of Chicago Party Aunt, an eight-episode animated series based on the eponymous Twitter account run by Chris Witaske — one of the show’s creators. The series follows Diane Dunbrowski, a 40-something-year-old who refuses to come to terms with her age and stop partying, causing her husband to leave and putting her job at risk. Through the eight-episode run, we get to see Dunbrowski grow and mature as she takes in her nephew Daniel, who decides to live with his aunt during his gap year instead of attending Stanford University. It tackles adult themes through a humorous dialogue, perfect for putting on while you have your dinner after a long day’s work.

Chasing History: A Kid in The Newsroom — the story of half of the journalistic duo who uncovered the Watergate scandal: Carl Bernstein, Pulitzer Prize-decorated journalist and titan of investigative journalism, recounts his teenage years — before he and Bob Woodward played an integral role in pushing US President Richard Nixon to resign from office. Bernstein’s best-selling memoir is a coming-of-age story of an insecure high schooler’s experiences during an unprecedented time in American history. The now-accomplished journalist spent his younger days honing his craft by observing renowned journalists at The Washington Star, and reminisces in the memoir about how he got the chance to help cover once-in-a-lifetime historical events like the Cold War and the space race. The memoir’s exploration, through the eyes of a young Bernstein, inevitably leads the reader to make pertinent connections between past and present, including the issues of racism and police brutality.
Chasing History can be read as “a call for a debate that we should be having but aren’t — about how to support the kind of public-service-minded, labor-intensive journalism that inspired Bernstein to get into the business,” according to a Washington Post review of the memoir. The Guardian is also out with a raving review.
