What to Watch and Where

We recommend you save “Game of Thrones” for a more private setting—titties out of context can be a little confusing and no one’s looking for another Van Porn incident. Study breaks in the form of a TV episode are good for the soul, though, so we’ve got some recs for what to watch, wherever you may be.

Netflix Pick of the Week: “Inequality for All”

In the midst of this year’s Oscar buzz, the New York Times described Leonardo DiCaprio’s roles in his recent films “The Great Gatsby” and, of course, “The Wolf of Wall Street” as “putting a face on the ambivalence that capitalism continues to inspire.” Collectively, Americans admire, envy and despise—all at once—what we now refer to as the 1%. The wealthy, it appears, are the beacon of hope to many Americans who see their success as the result of the American Dream. “Inequality for All,” a 2013 documentary narrated by former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, attempts to put these things into perspective by highlighting the growing problem of income inequality in the Unites States.
