WandaVision is a Disney+ miniseries that's part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and that's set, like, inside the history of television? It follows Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff and Paul Bettany as Vision as they try to conceal their superhero powers and blend into a generic sitcom neighborhood. Episodes so far have taken on the look and feel of American sitcoms from the 1950s, '60s, '70s, and '80s.

Some other stuff that happened this week, give or take:
Hal Holbrook, Actor Who Channeled Mark Twain, Is Dead at 95
He carved out a substantial career in television and film but achieved the widest acclaim with his one-man stage show, playing Twain for more than six decades.
Dustin Diamond, 'Saved by the Bell' star, dead at 44
Jamie Tarses, Pioneering Television Executive, Dies at 56
Tony Bennett Reveals Alzheimer's Battle
Golden Globes 2021: A Full List of Nominees
Here are the films, television shows, actors and directors chosen by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
Ella Emhoff Isn't a Nontraditional Model!

Evan Rachel Wood Alleged Her Ex-Fiancé Marilyn Manson "Horrifically Abused" And "Manipulated" Her
"He started grooming me when I was a teenager and horrifically abused me for years. I was brainwashed and manipulated into submission."
Of course the GameStop stock market frenzy is already being turned into a movie
Steven Spielberg Writes For Empire About Why Cinema Will Never Die
The Wayne's World Super Bowl Ad Is Even More Depressing Than That Wonder Years Tweet
The Generation X staple vanishes a little more each year

Six arrested after changing Hollywood sign to 'Hollyboob'
Outlander star Sam Heughan hints he will be next James Bond on Instagram post

The potty-mouthed comic isn't done talking trash, but it's no longer her first instinct, or her job.

The Colin McEnroe Show is public radio’s most eclectic, eccentric weekday program. The best way to understand us is through the subjects we tackle: Neanderthals, tambourines, handshakes, the Iliad, snacks, ringtones, punk rock, Occam’s razor, Rasputin, houseflies, zippers. Are you sensing a pattern? If so, you should probably be in treatment. On Fridays, we try to stop thinking about what kind of ringtones Neanderthals would want to have and convene a panel called The Nose for an informal roundtable about the week in culture.
