They did it: Sheldon and Amy are married, and it only took eight seasons of The Big Bang Theory to get them to the altar. Amy portrayer Mayim Bialik, the Blossom alum who’s also a neuroscientist and divorced mom of two sons, chatted with Vulture before the big prime-time nuptials about the complicated feelings her TV wedding (and her TV wedding dress) sparked for her, whether or not she wants to see TBBT season 13 happen, and how she’s using her science background to help boys and their parents (and girls) understand the inner workings of the male mind in her new book, Boying Up.

It’s not simple to say … how much time we’ve spent watching covers of Sara Bareilles’s 11 o’clock number “She Used to Be Mine” from the musical Waitress. It’s at once heart-breaking and uplifting — the perfect song to listen to 15 times in a row until the well of emotions within you has finally run dry. But, not every cover of “She Used to Be Mine” is created equal, and as such we’ve decided to rank them.

There are rumors of a Devil Wears Prada sequel, and you think this has nothing to do with you? You’re scrolling through streamers and you select… I don’t know, the 2006 film because you’re trying to tell the world that you love women’s stories and know that Adrian Grenier was the real villain of the movie. But what you don’t know is that Puck reported that a sequel is in the works.

The first trailer for The Dictator is out and it features ziplines, a bitter postcoital Megan Fox, and a woman (or a man dressed as a woman?) breaking a brick with what looks to be a giant steel boob. And of course, Sacha Baron Cohen’s General Aladeen riding down 5th Avenue in a camel cavalcade, paying tribute to our beautiful, AIDSy country. This summer, we will all be power-hungry dictators. Metaphorically.

All week long, Vulture is exploring the many ways true crime has become one of the most dominant genres in popular culture. Alice Bolin is the author of Dead Girls: Essays on Surviving an American Obsession. The “true-crime boom” of the mid- to late 2010s is a strange pop-culture phenomenon, given that it is not so much a new type of programming as an acknowledgement of a centuries-long obsession: People love true stories about murder and other brands of brutality and grift, and they have gorged on them particularly since the beginning of modern journalism.

Ben Whishaw is at his best playing troubled romantics: Keats, Dylan, and his latest, Freddie Lyon on the new BBC series The Hour. Freddie might not have the same artistic pedigree as the others — he’s a reporter for a 1956 English news program — but he shares a poet’s passion in his relentless pursuit of the truth. He also pines for his best friend/boss Bel (played by Romola Garai), who in turn lusts for their lead presenter Hector (Dominic West).

An economic catastrophe brings on the partial collapse of American society. As the nation recovers, an ascendant right wing blames the crisis on China. In the years following, the United States is rebuilt as an authoritarian nation under the Preserving American Culture and Traditions Act, colloquially known as PACT, an expansive law that allows the government to ban books, monitor private citizens, and disappear political dissidents, all in the name of preventing the spread of un-American views, a category that grows broader by the month: “Appearing sympathetic to China.

When Winnie Holzman created arguably the best teen drama ever, My So-Called Life, her 24-year-old daughter, Savannah Dooley, was only 8 years old.
