Television: Ducktales

An entire generation loves Disney’s 1987 animated show DuckTales to the point that the show’s theme song has burned itself into its auditory cortex. (Woo-ooo.) Disney’s 2017 reboot of DuckTales is every bit as addictive, with smart, punchy dialogue, vivid animation that recalls Carl Barks’ original Uncle Scrooge comic strip, and a voice cast that includes David Tennant, Kate Micucci and Lin-Manuel Miranda. And fear not, Gen X: The original show is available on Disney+, along with the rest of the “Disney Afternoon.” Seasons 1 and 2 streaming on Disney+; Season 3 airing on DisneyXD. –Geoff Carter

Music: The Necks

Together since 1987, Australian instrumentalists Chris Abrahams (piano), Lloyd Swanton (bass) and Tony Buck (drums) have released a string of 20-plus albums that could accurately be called jazz, ambient or experimental music—or a blend of all three. The best Necks tracks are lengthy (many span the entire length of an LP), making minimal adjustments in the moment for maximum expression over time. Start with Hanging Gardens (1999) and Drive By (2003)—both up on YouTube—and be sure to check out February’s Three (thenecksau.bandcamp.com), which demonstrates the trio’s continued ability to simultaneously soothe and thrill. –Spencer Patterson

Television: High Maintenance

What better time to start bingeing HBO’s anthology series about a pot deliveryman than on 420? Created by onetime couple Ben Sinclair and Katja Blichfeld, High Maintenance follows the life of bike courier “The Guy” (played by Sinclair) through his transactions across New York City, including drop-offs to arty middle-aged swingers and shameless nudists. The latest season just dropped in February—light up and get cozy. HBO. –Leslie Ventura

Podcast: Disgraceland

The Disgraceland podcast sits at the seedy-yet-alluring corner where true crime and music history meet. If you’re a fan of either genre, you’ll enjoy these outrageous tales of musicians doing dirty deeds. Season 5 features Guns N’ Roses, Jay-Z, Little Richard and more. The style is less journalistic than self-described “slightly buzzed guy at the end of the bar who’s seen some sh*t”-type storytelling. So don’t be surprised if host, writer and producer Jake Brennan fictionalizes some moments for heightened drama. Music is entertainment, after all. disgracelandpod.com. –C. Moon Reed

Podcast: Read By

April is National Poetry Month, and to celebrate, the Unterberg Poetry Center at 92nd Street Y—a nonprofit community and cultural center in New York City—is hosting Read By, a podcast in which some of today’s finest writers read and discuss works from their homes. Recent episodes have included exquisite readings of Y.B. Yeats by Colm Tóibín and Alfred, Lord Tennyson by Rachel Cusk. On a more contemporary note, Billy Collins, dubbed the most popular poet in America by The New York Times, reads works by William Matthews and Thomas Lux, along with two new poems of his own. Read By provides a quick hit of poetry that will sustain you through these more introspective indoor times. Apple Podcasts, Spotify. –Genevie Durano
