Perspective | What our Pop Culture team is watching this summer

Nothing can top Penny Marshall’s 1992 movie about women playing baseball in the ’40s — Tom Hanks as a lovable degenerate? Geena Davis as the ultimate badass? Lori Petty as an OG feminist? — but my curiosity is piqued by this series starring Abbi Jacobson, D’Arcy Carden and Nick Offerman. Batter up … hear that call …I am actually obsessed with Viola Davis’s upcoming passion project, “The Woman King.

” The movie starring Davis and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood tells the story of the actual Kingdom of Dahomey, a powerful African civilization. Davis plays a bad ass military general leading an all-women regime. I am so pumped.This summer, I’m going to reread Octavia Butler’s time-bending novel “Kindred,” which after years and years of adaptation rumors is finally coming to the small screen this year.
