- The It List is Yahoo's weekly look at the best in pop culture. With the coronavirus pandemic in mind, here are our picks for the week of February 22.
It's a bird. It's a plane. It's the latest reboot of the Superman franchise. But "Superman & Lois" isn't just another origin story. Instead, it focuses on Clark Kent and Lois Lane's family. In terms of tone, the new CW series is taking notes from family dramas like "Friday Night Lights" and, well, supersizing it. It might make for heavier fare than past Superman TV shows, but don't worry. Supes is still good for a one-liner.
- You've got the weight of the world on your shoulders.
- I really wish I could get drunk sometimes.
- On the more whimsical side of the world of reboots and re-imaginings is a new "Tom and Jerry" movie. This time, the lifelong enemies battle it out against a background of both animation and live action for a [? best-of ?] collection of their greatest slapstick gags and the occasional superhero reference.
- Yow! Meow.
- BTS, the seven-piece K-pop outfit, is arguably the biggest band in the world. So what happens when they strip down their highly polished pop hits for an "MTV Unplugged" special? You'll have to wait and see. But given their ravenous fan base, it's guaranteed to be a closely-watched [? mega-show, ?] no matter the outcome. Come back next week to check out Yahoo's It List.
