A great inside look at how the sausage gets made at the century-old New Yorker magazine...

I've read and loved The New Yorker magazine for as long as I've been able to string two words together. I was once a reliable cliché: an urban guy with teetering stacks of unread issues on the coffee table, towers of guilt and aspiration, though nowadays, I read the magazine cover to cover on my iPad. My New Yorker subscription and AmEx card are amongst my longest relationships, both dating back to 1990. Thus is my dedication and devotion to the magazine. Marshall Curry's "The New Yorker at 100" on Netflix takes us inside the offices for the lead-up to the March 2025 centennial issue, and it's a treat to watch the sausage get made and to see faces of the names that have been rattling around our heads for decades. Five editors in a century is astounding, and the film reminds us how each left a mark with my soft spot remaining for Tina Brown, who shook the torpor off during her short tenure. If you love the magazine's legacy, don't miss this.

Interesting

This pop culture documentary was really good. I did not know that Apatow was getting in to non-comedic documentaries but glad he is. I don't know why I chose to watch this on a Saturday night but I found it interesting. The entire crew did a fantastic job on telling the history of the famous magazine, The New Yorker. It gives the viewers an insight to what the magazine wanted to be, compared to other magazines and how it changed the way we view the world. If you haven't seen this documentary yet, check it out sometime. It's a must see. I'm running down to Barnes & Noble today to pick up the latest to see if I actually want to subscribe for a year.

Truth, Eustace and the New Yorker Way

Having anything last 100 years is a great accomplishment. Putting together a coherent documentary on such a thing or person (Happy Birthday Dick Van Dyke) and keeping it under 100 minutes is arguably even more laudable.My wife enjoyed watching this so much last week, she and my kids re-watched it earlier tonight. The ability to laugh at itself (from popular Family Guy and Nate Bargatze quips through much vaunted fact checking and especially to their style guide pretensions, accenting the E in Elite mofos) was a plus.Some of the negative reviewers here perhaps could embrace a similar sense of humor. I worship neither President Trump nor Roz Chast, but really that was your chief takeaway.?Might as well cross-post your review here with yelp.No comments on the stories of John Hersey's "Hiroshima" coverage or Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring." Tina Brown's timing (how much of what she proposed has since be adopted with much success?). Also Tina Brown's unfortunate alliance with Harvey Weinstein, and the editing in of Ronan Farrow to counter-balance that.The cover for 9/11 sent a different sort of shiver through us. Struck a Raw yet vital nerve. Viva Françoise Mouly and the cover art being celebrity free.Anyways, congrats on making it to 100 years in under 100 minutes. Nice how some traditions stand, while at the same time others adapt the way we all hope to do individually, no?Side note, I often enjoy and recommend David Remnick's related podcasts. Maybe on a slow week he can go down into the tombs of items that the building manager/packrat emeritus could not bear to throw away.
