Upstream podcast: The memes of ‘A Quiet Place,’ the triumph of Cardi B

This week we discuss the plot holes and crunchy memes of A Quiet Place—John Krasinski’s film about a terrifying near-future where sound attracts monsters and you can’t eat chips—and whether its box-office success is the result of an Office bump or a desire for more original horror films. (Or the challenge of the viewing experience.)
