The new movie The Life of Chuck, which won the Top Audience Award at last year's Toronto International Film Festival, opens in theaters this week. It's an adaptation of a Stephen King novella, and it's set during what appears to be the end of the world. Its stars include Tom Hiddleston, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, and Mark Hamill. Our film critic, Justin Chang, has this review.

Justin Chang is a film critic for The New Yorker. He reviewed The Life of Chuck. After a break, we remember Alf Clausen, the composer and arranger behind so many of the song parodies on The Simpsons, died last week at age 84. This is Fresh Air. The familiar theme song to the long-running animated TV series The Simpsons was written by Danny Elfman.

But for the next 27 seasons, from the show's launch in 1990 until 2017, all the music was written, arranged, and orchestrated by Alf Clausen, who died last week at age 84. He worked with a 35-piece orchestra and often the show's cast members to create a dizzying range of musical highlights, winning two Emmys for his efforts.

Clausen had demonstrated his gifts for musical satire and cleverness before joining the Simpsons. He provided the music for the famous episode of the TV series Moonlighting that was a parody of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. On The Simpsons, one of his many inspired contributions was the music for a local musical production of another theatrical classic, A Streetcar Named Desire.
