A song is a vessel that houses dreams and desires that are both dead and everlastingly alive, and in All You Need Is Death it’s also a curse about the most dangerous of all emotions: love. A tale of primeval retribution and eternal damnation, writer/director Paul Duane’s feature debut is saturated in sin and fury, both of which are almost as consuming as the amour that devours its protagonists.

One of our beloved Abbott Elementary teachers may be leaving the school for good. After accepting a fellowship with the district at the beginning of the year, in this week’s episode, Janine (Quinta Brunson) is offered a full-time, permanent position working under the superintendent (Keegan Michael-Key). Sure, she’d be allowed to still visit Abbott—but really, the elementary school wouldn’t be the same without her.
