Please note that schedules are always subject to last minute changes. Here's what we have on tap for you today:
- It's the 25th anniversary of breakthrough TV drama, Twin Peaks -- the David Lynch-created show centered on the murder of a homecoming queen. The anniversary has culture critic Sarah Marshall reflecting on the way that female characters are often most likeable to audiences when they're dead. She'll explain why complex women confound TV audiences, male and female alike.
- Q's media panel -- including rabble.ca's Judy Rebick, John Cruickshank, publisher of The Toronto Star, and Jonathan Kay of the National Post -- weigh in on this week's top headlines.
- Best of Q: last weekend's 20th anniversary of the death of Kurt Cobain, and this weekend's induction of his band, Nirvana, into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we revisit Jian's 2011 conversation with Nirvana bassist and co-founder Krist Novoselic, about their landmark album, Nevermind.
- Actor Adam Beach on Bandwidth, an initiative he's helping foster, to bring state of the art pop-up movie theatres -- screening first-run and Aboriginal films to First Nations reserves in Canada and, eventually, the U.S.
