For many of The Outtake’s writers and readers, school is back in session. (Sorry.)

Before the student emails, faculty meetings, and lecture prep bog you down, check out the stories you might have missed this summer while you were, you know, living.

Here are our 5 MOST POPULAR STORIES of the last few months:

As always, The Outtake welcomes writing on all aspects of film and television, classical and contemporary.

  • Evergreen post from your own blog? Sure.
  • Timely piece you wrote 26 minutes ago? Yep.
  • Authorized excerpt from your book on Sid Caesar’s variety show or zombie movies? Bring it.
  • Film- or TV-related speech or presentation the masses will enjoy? Send it on.

No “think pieces,” standard film reviews, or episode recaps, please — unless they’re super funny and/or shed a new and perhaps personal light on the subject matter. See, for example, “You Hate Musicals Because You Are Dead Inside” or “On Grief and Seinfeld: A Festivus Story.”
