The Best of 90s Horror, A Pierre Soulages Retrospective, Cable Vs. Streaming, How to Enjoy Art

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Oct 12, 2023

As we enter spooky season, maybe now is a good time to check out some classic horror films! Clyde Folley, video editor at Criterion Collection, joins us to discuss the new series he curated, "90s Horror," and take calls from listeners about their favorite horror films from that period.

French artist Pierre Soulages was known for his famous black monochrome paintings. Lévy Gorvy Dayan's new retrospective of the artist's work includes significant pieces on loan from the Met, the Guggenheim, the Art Institute of Chicago, and more. Dominique Lévy, a gallery partner and a close friend of the artist for many years, joins us to discuss, Pierre Soulages: From Midnight to Twilight, which is on view through November 4.

Cable TV is shedding customers who are increasingly choosing other platforms. But now that you subscribe to half a dozen streaming services, are you really saving money? We speak with Consumer Reports editor Jim Willcox, who will help listeners make sense of the options.

With so many blockbuster art shows and interesting gallery exhibits this fall, we've asked Susie Hodge, author of How to Look at Art and How Art Can Change Your Life, to join us to discuss how to enjoy and learn from your next trip to the museum. Plus, we take your calls.
