This week, Guy Branum, Karen Tongson and Wynter Mitchell are joined by Riley Silverman. She\\u2019s the lead writer of the Max Fun podcast, International Waters. They discuss A Quiet Place, John Krasinski\\u2019s horror film about a family trying to survive a post-apocalyptic world where monsters kill anything that makes a\\xa0sound.

Karen is all about the video for \\xa0Janelle Mon\\xe1e\\u2019s new music video for the track PYNK, which she says may have established her as a force in queer performance and art. Guy and Wynter are all about\\xa0Beyonce\\u2019s Coachella performance, which may have single-handedly made the music festival relevant again. Riley is all about the movie Blockers, a comedy that she says feels refreshingly scripted.\\xa0

The panel will their discuss what they think of A Quiet Place, including whether it has a positive portrayal of a character with a disability and explain their theories about what the film\\u2019s sub-text could be.
