COVID's Cameo in Film and Television
Listen now
Description
Although the pandemic has impacted the television and film industry, it hasn't made much of an appearance on the other side of the camera. Listeners call in to share how they are seeing — or not seeing — COVID show up in what they are watching. Good Fight did away with covid in a "previously on" type montage and then featured a long covid story line for one character amid a mask-free "reality." Station 11, which is about a flulike pandemic, has embraced what can be build in the wake of disaster. — Jebby (@jallured) January 13, 2022 @BrianLehrer last night on Chicago MD there was a shot with a doc in foreground &a patients family member in the background &that person had a mask on!No one else did.He turns around after realizing hes in shot then comes back in next shot sans the mask!Editing didn’t pick it up! — Susie (@marshmallowpud) January 13, 2022 Superstore did a wonderful job showing how people lived and struggled with COVID-19. Each episode even showed public health protocols and how employees struggled with the shortages of PPE. — Mrigank Shail, MD (@mrigankshail) January 13, 2022 oh caller is right, #themorningshow was difficult. It went back to Jan-March 2020. We are not ready to revisit those feelings. — Rachel (@argica11) January 13, 2022
