Welcome to the FEBRUARY ISSUE of the Press Box, with another great cover from @akathemaskedman .
This month, @light_and_shopper and @akdobbins answer a question answer a question that touches journalism and politics, pop culture and even public health:
Why are we still talking about the Kennedys?
Boomers were fascinated by the Kennedys. Gen-Xers who watched Oliver Stone’s JFK a few hundred times were smitten, too. But now we have a Ryan Murphy series about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette. A Crown-style Netflix series with Michael Fassbender is on its way. JFK’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, is running for Congress. And RFK: well, you know.
Bryan and Amanda will discuss the Ryan Murphy series. They’ll ponder the reasons behind this latest incarnation of Kennedy mania. Then they’ll go back in time to see how the Kennedy flame was kept alive over the last few decades.
Join us Thursday.
