Fallout, TCM, and Ryan Gosling's return to SNL lead this week's Must List

See EW's top pop culture picks for the week of April 12.

I know we sang the praises of Dev Patel’s directorial debut, Monkey Man, in last week’s Must List — but this past weekend I got the chance to check it out for myself and I just have to add my voice to the choir of fans praising the actor’s intense and action-packed modern sendup to classic kung fu movies. I caught the film at Los Angeles’ only Alamo Drafthouse. Publicly starting a petition to get a second location not all the way downtown, please! —Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief

This new musical about suffragists fighting for women’s rights in 1913 is produced by the likes of Hillary Clinton and Malala Yousafzai, and the cast includes Shaina Taub, the second woman ever to star in and write the book, music, and lyrics of a Broadway musical.

After dazzling the Oscars with his Kenergy last month, I can’t wait to see the Gos return to Studio 8H, hosting the April 13 episode with musical guest Chris Stapleton. Fingers crossed for a sequel to his iconic 2017 sketch “Papyrus.” Devan Coggan, Senior Writer
