Those of us who cover entertainment for a living really only get asked two questions anymore ¡ª in meetings and at dinner parties, in texts from friends and on the phone with Mom: ¡°Have you seen ____?¡± and ¡°What should I watch?¡±
Screen Gab is our attempt to answer those questions ¡ª and plenty more. We know there¡¯s more content on more platforms vying for your attention than ever, and we want to be your one-stop guide to the pop culture everyone¡¯s talking about, or should be.
