FILM—A new Coen brothers movie is better than Christmas. A new Coen brothers movie is better than your wedding. A new Coen brothers movie is better than that one time your parents weren’t ashamed of you. This new Coen brothers movie is Hail, Caesar!, and it stars everyone you like (Channing Tatum! George Clooney! Scarlett Johansson! Dolph Lundgren?), and even if it’s a “bad” Coen brothers movie, it’ll still be better than 99.99 percent of all other movies. ERIK HENRIKSEN

MUSIC—With movements named for planets, Gustav Holst’s The Planets is to orchestra kids what “Smoke on the Water” is to third-graders learning guitar: the only piece that matters. Star Wars composer John Williams borrowed heavily from Holst at George Lucas’ request, and—from the majestic propulsion of “Mars” to the creepy little staccato hits of “Neptune”—it’s easy to see why.
