CHRIS R. MORGAN: ‘A Murder at the End of the World’ Review
BRIT MARLING AND ZAL BATMANGLIJ bring to film and television an audacious creativity thought left for dead in concept albums and a high idealism long-buried in back issues of Adbusters. Their stories tell of alternate dimensions, duplicate earths, and time-traveling gurus. Their heroes are investigative freelancers, dumpster-diving activists, and gifted loners in need of redemption. Their sweeping vision acclimates to multiple genres without violating their strictures. It requires prestige-level resources and tends to get them. It assumes an audience of equal intelligence and, as a result, commands a small but intense following, to such an extent that the cancellation of their Netflix series The OA was taken like a personal loss.

My Cleveland Browns have clinched a playoff berth, and Kirk Herbstreit’s dog, Ben, became a social media sensation from the booth. It was fun to watch, people not wanting to leave the stadium. That’s a first for the Browns since the last game of the Old Browns in December, 1995.
