This week, Vanity Fair staff writer Savannah Walsh joins Richard and David to break down how the new Amy Winehouse drama, Back to Black, fits into this trend, before reflecting on the genre more broadly—from a few personal favorites to the many examples that haven't worked over the past few years.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @vfawardsinsiderFollow our hosts: @rilaws, @beccamford, @davidcanfield97Our editor and producer is Brett Fuchs.
