If you’ve got a couple of minutes to kill online but dread the prospect of yet another misspelled meme on Facebook, Drexel University’s The Smart Set is worth a look-see.
Currently on the site, Colin Fleming examines Orson Welles’s Macbeth—”what amounts to a classic 1940s horror film, although no one ever talks about it that way,” Stefany Ann Goldberg reflects on Betty Willis and her “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign, and Michael Lind asks the question no one else dares: “How did Conan the barbarian and Dracula manage to slaughter Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock?”
It’s almost always a welcome diversion.
