In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Amazon Studios presents “Voices/Voces,” a one-day virtual event headlined by John Leguizamo, Rep. Joaquin Castro, Laz Alonso, Gloria Calderón Kellett and comedian Gina Brillon, celebrating the rich culture and heritage of more than 60 million people living in the United States and their contributions to the entertainment industry.

The special event will take place on Sept. 30 and will be available to stream on Amazon Live and Amazon Studios Dei Twitch.

By taking a deep dive into discussions of representation in film and media, “Voices/Voces” is intended to highlight the diversity within the community, which represents more than 22 countries labeled “Hispanic” by the U.S. Census.

The event also underscores the fact that this non-monolithic culture is not so easily defined under one label. While many people refer to themselves as Latino, others feel more comfortable being referred to as Latinx or Latiné, with...

PBS, already known for its incisive examinations of current events, has been knee-deep in conversations on how to make the network even more reflective of the times. “We are at such an extraordinary moment in this country,” said Sylvia Bugg, Chief Programming Executive for PBS, during the network’s Winter Press Tour TCA panel on Tuesday.

Spain has low-key been a purveyor of crescendoing dread for years, but is rarely recognized for it outwith specialist genre circles. Its latest example of such, Don’t Listen, hit Netflix last week, and is suitably creeping out audiences to the extent that it’s been a fixture in the Top 10 of dozens of countries.

The story sees a couple and their young son move into a creepy old house to renovate and sell, only for the child to begin hearing voices over his walkie-talkie, while his drawings appear to predict imminent tragedy. There isn’t much plot-specific information that doesn’t delve into spoiler territory, but be assured that it’s as emotionally devastating as it is supernaturally eerie.

Various apparitions are shown through different techniques, such as humanoid shapes in infrared imaging, gangly limbs seen where no person should be, and, of course, the ever-present crackle of disembodied speech breaking through radio static.
