Will one studio’s decision to stream all of its movies right away be a final blow for struggling movie theaters?

Plus, HBO’s Allen vs. Farrow the dramatic telling of the sexual abuse charges against famed Hollywood director Woody Allen brought by his adopted daughter Dylan Farrow. And Dolly Parton’s new role as vaccine ambassador.

Those stories and more in our Pop Culture Roundtable.

Guests:
Michael Jeffries - Dean of Academic Affairs and Professor of American Studies at Wellesley College.
Rachel Rubin - Professor of American Studies at University of Massachusetts Boston.

Later in the show:
Just in time for Women’s History Month, a new book tracing the history of feminism.

Author Koa Beck argues that feminism, as many may think of it, is not a grassroots movement working for societal change as it is as much as it is a brand with a corporate focus. In “White Feminism: From the Suffragettes to Influencers and Who They Leave Behind,” Beck deconstructs the most well-known American movement for gender parity.

“White Feminism” is our March selection for “Bookmarked: The Under the Radar Book Club.”

Guests:
Koa Beck - Former editor-in-chief of Jezebel, executive editor of Vogue.com, senior features editor at MarieClaire.com and co-host of “The #MeToo Memos” on WNYC’s The Takeaway.

SHOW CREDITS:
Under the Radar with Callie Crossley is a production of GBH, produced by Wes Martin and engineered by Dave Goodman. Angela Yang is our Intern.
Our theme music is FISH AND CHIPS by #weare2saxys’, Grace Kelly and Leo P.
