Today Jared Bowen, Callie Crossley and Edgar B. Herwick III go over the latest headlines on The Culture Show’s week-in-review.

First up, fashion backward. We look at a new trend, people wearing vintage clothing with styles inspired by period dramas such as “The Gilded Age” and “Downton Abbey.”

From there we analyze the “Sex in the City,” sequel, “And Just Like That.” The series finale was this week and it left fans feeling flat. Then it’s off to the box office where comedies are having a comeback. In recent years they have been sidelined to streaming platforms. Now, with movies such as “The Naked Gun” and “Freakier Friday “ emerging as box office hits, will there be more comedic films having theatrical releases?

Finally, we look at how recreational reading rates have steadily declined in the US over the last 20 years, and we’ll look through some of the latest words entered into the Cambridge Dictionary this year.
