Adam McGovern’s scintillating, self-deconstructing column, THIS:, will continue to appear weekly. It’s impossible to predict what THIS: will cover; after all, Adam himself often doesn’t know until the last minute. But if we had to hazard a guess, we’d predict that among 2Q2016’s installments we’ll find: theater, movie, music and comics reviews, Q&As, and more.
