How Pop Culture Will Remember, Respond To Coronavirus Pandemic

What we see on screen, be it the big screen or smaller ones in our homes, can sometimes reflect what’s going on in the world, or what has gone on in the past.

We’ve seen reactions, for example, to the Vietnam War on both TV and in the movies; the same goes for big events like 9/11.

So, how will the entertainment world respond to the coronavirus pandemic and resulting quarantines and economic distress?

To help figure some of that out, The Show talked with media critic and author Lindsay Ellis.

She started by sharing how she thinks popular culture will ultimately interpret what we’re going through now.
