This month, CJR presents “Required Skimming,” a daily miniguide to our staffers’ beats and obsessions. If we overlooked any of your must-read destinations, please tell us in the comments.
The Nerdist: A warm, witty geekfest, with host Chris Hardwick roping in everyone from Billy Crystal to Buzz Aldrin as guests. Expect chatter about Starfleet, Jedi, superheroes, and hobbits, as well as lots of off-the-wall humor.
How Did This Get Made?: For the bad-movie connoisseur. Hosts Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas, and June Diane Raphael merrily deconstruct movies so bad that they’re good. Go grab some popcorn–I’ll wait.
WTF with Marc Maron : Comedians talk comedy with a standup comic. Much better than that sounds.
