Last Week, on Club MacStories: The 8th Installment of Federico’s Obsidian Series, John’s Studio Setup, and an Afterparty Town Hall

Because Club MacStories now encompasses more than just newsletters, we’ve created a guide to the past week’s happenings along with a look at what’s coming up next:

AV Club Town Hall: The Afterparty

AV Club is a monthly event held in the Club MacStories+ Discord community. Club members vote on a movie, TV show, videogame, book, or music to enjoy as a group. It’s like a book club, but for all kinds of media.

This month, we watched the Apple TV+ series The Afterparty. Then, last week, we held a live audio AV Club Town Hall in our Discord community. Alex and I were joined by Sigmund Judge and Jonathan Reed, two Club members who write at Screen Times, to discuss the show and take questions from members who listened live.

If you’re a Club MacStories+ or Club Premier and missed the lively discussion, it’s available as a Club-only podcast that you can enjoy on the Club website or subscribe to from your the Club Podcasts page.
