Riley’s new film ‘Sorry To Bother You’ is a social and political satire inspired by his time as a telemarketer. Riley is the son of grassroots activists and the frontman for the hip-hop band The Coup, a self-described “revolutionary music collective.” Also, TV critic David Bianculli reviews the HBO limited series ‘Sharp Objects,’ starring Amy Adams. After warning of elevated lead levels in her patients’ blood in Flint, Mich., Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha faced a backlash. Her new book, ‘What the Eyes Don’t See,’ is about exposing the crisis, the activist movement, and her personal story as the daughter of Iraqi immigrants.
