We Are the World: behind the scenes of the greatest night in pop

  • The new Netflix documentary ‘The Greatest Night in Pop’ takes us behind the scenes of the making of “We Are the World,” the 1985 benefit single that brought pop legends together to raise money for famine relief in Africa.

    Music journalist Maura Johnston and arts writer/broadcaster Garvia Bailey share their thoughts on the film, and the complicated relationship between celebrity and charity.

    Plus, Jacqueline Novak’s new Netflix special, ‘Get On Your Knees,’ is a 90-minute monologue focused entirely on one subject: oral sex.

    The New Yorker’s Carrie Battan explains how Novak became the talk of the comedy world, and why her seemingly risqué show is actually quite profound.
