At this point in the season, new episodes of The Voice drastically narrow down the field. The Knockout stages are over, and the competition will only intensify.
Coaches Reba McEntire, John Legend, Chance the Rapper, and Dan + Shay still have many talented singers on their respective teams. But that would all change in a new episode of The Voice.

It’s the rare actor has an opportunity to portray a real-life World War II hero and a notorious villain of American history in the space of just a few months, but the Irish-born Anthony Boyle is that guy. He’s king of the prestigious limited series in 2024 in a pair of big-ticket Apple TV+ projects. He was starring as Lieut. Harry Crosby of the Air Force’s famed Bloody Hundredth bomber group in the nine-part, $250 million epic “Masters of the Air” from the team that made “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific,” Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman. And a few months after completing filming on that in England, Boyle started work on the seven-part historical drama “Manhunt” portraying no less than John Wilkes Booth, the man who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. “I wanted to do kind of the opposite of what I’d just done,” Boyle says.

Let us start by getting the obvious truth out. Masters of the Air, Apple TV’s magnum opus, has failed to reach the heights of HBO’s Band of Brothers or The Pacific, even though it comes from the same Steven Spielberg-Tom Hanks war epic stable. However, it is still a solidly made, very watchable series. The performances by the very talented cast are what make it soar high. Anthony Boyle, who plays Harry Crosby, is clearly the best performer of the show. Boyle is the breakout star of 2024, and he’s also starring in another of Apple TV’s historical epics, Manhunt. Austin Butler, who’s getting rave reviews for his performance in the blockbuster Dune: Part II, shines here as well, justifying his star status. And the ever-so-charming Callum Turner is fantastic as well, which of course has a lot to do with getting to play...

Buck and Bucky, the heart and soul of the Masters Of The Air series, are still stuck at Stalag Luft III. After last week’s episode, it did seem like our favorite majors, along with the Colonel and other POWs, were going to attempt “the great escape,” although the news of British escapees getting executed understandably dampened their spirits. In the penultimate episode of Apple TV’s WWII epic, the Tuskegee men get a fair share of focus, which takes the narrative in an interesting direction. The invasion of Europe finally happens, while Crosby grapples with the possible truth of Sandra not being who she seems to be. Let us take a closer look.

While you weren’t watching, Amazon’s Prime Video quietly blossomed into a haven for adult animation. The streaming service’s latest addition to its lineup, the sci-fi comedy “The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy,” is the brainchild of Cirocco Dunlap, whose résumé includes Netflix’s “Russian Doll” and “Big Mouth.” The show, which is now streaming, follows the adventures of two alien doctors, Klak and Sleech, as they treat a myriad of strange illnesses and maladies afflicting the brilliant and unique beings that populate the titular galaxy.
While the show’s writers are clearly having fun trying to stretch the limits of the imagination, the series also dedicates a significant amount of its runtime to telling relatable stories about universally understood medical conditions, too, like anxiety. The result is a well-rounded, enjoyable comedy that deserves your attention. When you toss in an impressive voice cast that also includes Kieran Culkin,...

Masters of the Air is into its second act, it seems, as there was a clear shift in storytelling in the sixth episode. There were no missions shown, and for good reason. World War II had many facets, and it did not include just airmen flying their planes and dropping bombs on planned sites. The sixth episode took a different route and showed how some became prisoners of war, while a few became dignitaries at overseas conferences about the war. There was an attempt to isolate Egan’s experience as he tried to escape from Germany. In the previous episode, he had parachuted down to a farm, and it was hinted that he would be caught. Rosenthal had his own struggles, as after three missions he had seen a lot of his pals die and was sent to some sort of relaxation center. Crosby, on the other hand, got a chance to go to Oxford,...

Band of Brothers and The Pacific were much loved when they came out, and the new series Masters of the Air is made with the same fabric and is promising to be another riveting show revolving around the hardships of war. This time, the focus is on the American bomber planes that went to Europe to fight against Nazi Germany. The series picks some templates right up from Band of Brothers, where the bond between Maj. Nixon and Maj. Winters was the bedrock of the series. The two seemed to have been replaced by Maj. Gale ‘Buck’ Cleven and Maj. John ‘Bucky’ Egan. Masters of the Air gives us a harrowing look at what the bomber planes had to do and what challenges lay ahead of the officers, who put their lives on the line every time the bomber planes took flight.

Masters of the Air, created by John Orloff, is one of those series that relies not only on the filmmaking but also on the theme around which it revolves. World War II movies are a genre in themselves, and there have been miniseries like Band of Brothers that are etched in people’s memories as one of the greatest shows ever made. Masters of the Air thus has some great help and some great competition as well, but overall, the series is expected to be an epic narrative about the 100th Bomber Squads, who put their lives on the line to carry out the mission to weaken Nazi Germany during World War 2. There are some heavy hitters in the series, and we expect some outstanding performances out of them all.

In one episode of the new World War II epic Masters of the Air, a character collapses from exhaustion and sleeps through the events of D-Day, which were so memorably dramatized in Saving Private Ryan. In another, we realize that several characters are being held in the same Pow camp that was the subject of the classic Sixties film The Great Escape, and that our heroes had no idea the escape was happening until well after the fact.

At some point during the so-called peak TV era, someone, somewhere got it in their head that all prestige TV dramas have to unfold like one long movie. Indeed, time and time again, when creators sit down to talk about their new shows, they'll say things like, "We treated this like a 9-hour movie!" But here's the thing: no one wants to watch a 9-hour movie. Why can't TV just be ... TV? "Mad Men," one of the best TV shows of the peak era, told an overarching story but each episode remained, well, episodic. They were like short stories in a collection. The collection added up as a whole, but you could still take the stories individually. And the results were wonderful.

As “Masters of the Air” nears its end, one surviving member of the Air Force’s “Bloody Hundredth” bombing group finds himself standing next to a fireplace, sipping on whiskey, and quoting the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. “Whoever fights monsters should take care not to become a monster himself,” he paraphrases for his fellow flyer, as they prepare to leave the war behind and return to their families. “Because if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes right back at you.”
In the moment, the sentiment is sound enough. Both men have experienced war, up close and personal, and both have been shaped by the harrowing combat all around them. It’s only natural to wonder what they’ll be like when they’re home, when they’re grounded, when the bombs are no longer dropping from the sky. Can they go back to their families, their wives, their kids,...

The holiday song “White Christmas” is one of the most unforgettable songs of the holiday season. Bing Crosby made it iconic, but did he ever get sick of singing “White Christmas?”
Bing Crosby made ‘White Christmas’ a hit in 1942, but did he get sick of singing it?
The song “White Christmas” was made famous by Bing Crosby in the 1942 Christmas movie Holiday Inn. The “White Christmas” song was adapted twelve years later into a full-length film starring Crosby and Danny Kaye.
The song and film became Crosby’s calling card, despite many other hits synonymous with the singer throughout his career. But in a 1977 interview with Barbara Walters, Crosby revealed his real feelings about the holiday hit.
Walters asked Crosby, “Are you sick of ‘White Christmas?'” He replied, “No, no, I could never be sick of it. I just fear that people will be sick of it.”

Neil Young and Stephen Stills reunited at Los Angeles’ Greek Theater on Saturday night for the latter’s “Light Up The Blues” autism awareness event. It was Young’s first on-stage performance since 2019.

With The Byrds, David Crosby covered a number of Bob Dylan songs. The band changed Dylan’s perception of how his music could sound, and the covers brought them a good deal of success. Crosby often spoke about his appreciation for Dylan. When he first heard the other artist, though, he wasn’t exactly impressed. After listening a bit more, though, Crosby wondered if he should quit music altogether.

Dylan loved The Byrds’ cover of “Mr. Tambourine Man.” Fittingly, this was Crosby’s favorite Dylan song.
“Appropriately enough, my favorite is ‘Mr. Tambourine Man,’” Crosby told Stereogum. “Our manager knew Bob’s manager [when I was in the Byrds], and got an early tape of Bob singing this thing with another folk singer. It was really terrible, it was a really bad demo.

David Crosby’s friend and former bandmate, Graham Nash, revealed that the 81-year-old musician who passed away in January died after contracting Covid-19 for the second time.
Sources had previously mentioned that Crosby’s death was due to a “long illness,” but no other information had been provided until Nash disclosed the details surrounding his death on a Kyle Meredith With… podcast episode on Friday.
“He was rehearsing for a show to do in Los Angeles with a full band,” Nash explained. “After three days of rehearsals, he felt a little sick. And he’d already had Covid and he had Covid again. And so he went home and decided that he would take a nap, and he never woke up. But he died in his bed and that is fantastic.”
Nash admitted that while he was astonished that Crosby made it to 81 in the first place, his death was still “a shock.
