I wanted to deeply apologize for making an error. In my haste, I left off a contributor whose essay on There’s Something About Mary feels essential to the issue. Jer Hayes will also be publishing with us. Below, an updated compilation of contributors. This looks bad only on me.

We're shooting for a June 1st premiere, just in time for the heat and summer blockbusters, when the medicine melts in your mouth and the thought of ice cream after a long day at the office is nearly a spiritual experience. We’ve made it nearly a year.
