Hunter Ingram SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from “Poirot,” Episode 6 of “Lessons in Chemistry,” now streaming on Apple TV+. For 30 minutes last year, Millicent Shelton was given control of a freeway off-ramp not far from LAX –– and she didn’t even need the whole half hour. Shelton was behind the camera directing the sixth episode of Apple TV’s “Lessons in Chemistry,” and in front of her was a very small window for her to get a wide shot that could establish the scope of a sit-in that really happened in 1950s Los Angeles. The shot follows period-specific cars as they descend the off-ramp, only to be blocked by protesters.
As the camera moves off the cars, it finds a larger group of sign-wielding protestors gathered under the neighboring overpass as they are confronted by police. She got the shot she needed in one take. “It went so fast and smoothly, considering we were told we only had 30 minutes,” Shelton tells Variety.
“It was like one of those days right before a holiday where everybody is focused so they can get out. Only this was a day where everybody was focused so they could get it right.” The story of the protest has been brewing all season in the neighborhood where Elizabeth (Brie Larson) and Harriet (Aja Naomi King) live across from one another. Known as Sugar Hill, that neighborhood was real, and served as a predominantly Black community for prominent doctors, lawyers and artists, including one-time resident and Oscar winner Hattie McDaniel — now, it’s more commonly referred to as West Adams.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Was there anyone who didn’t have an opinion — and the strong need to express it — when the Beatles‘ “last single,” “Now and Then,” came out earlier this month? The surviving members’ long-aborning completion of a 1970s John Lennon demo profoundly moved millions of fans, and put off some others, but no one in practically any demographic — not boomers or even Gen-Z-ers and millennials — wanted to hold their tongue about it.
