Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

It's 1926 and reapers, the once-human vampires with a terrifying affliction, are on the rise in Harlem. Elise is the reluctant heir to a reaper-hunting empire. Layla is a reaper who lost everything — her parents, friends, and humanity — and she'll never forget how Elise betrayed her. When a new kind of reaper that's more human than monster emerges, Elise and Layla must join forces to uncover the city's darkest secrets. As they explore New York City’s underworld, it gets harder to ignore their intense feelings for one another, even when they know they can never be together.

“Underconsumption” is trending, and according to comment sections, it’s just living like a normal human being. Underconsumption, which prioritizes using what you already have and mindful spending, is likely a reaction to the influencer-inspired excess of attempting to keep up with micro trends and “Amazon Must-Buys” in every conceivable category. Underconsumption encourages us to step back and consider the financial, environmental, and mental health impacts of forever sprinting on that treadmill. It may feel a little silly to romanticize things like not buying a new product until you’ve finished the last one, but why not use the influencing power of social media and trends to encourage better choices?
