[Investigating The Watcher With Its Star Reporter](
A conversation with Reeves Wiedeman about what the Netflix series gets right and wrong.
Photo: Netflix Back in 2018, New York Magazine published a story by Reeves Wiedeman filled with nightmare fuel for homeowners: An unknown menace was terrorizing a family in Westfield, New Jersey, with a series of letters about them and their newly purchased $1.3 million home. Branding themself âThe Watcher,â the author of these screeds wrote that they were âput in charge of watching and waitingâ for the houseâs âsecond comingâ and requested âyoung bloodâ for it in the form of children. (You know, normal stuff.) Derek Broaddus, Maria Broaddus, and their three kids never moved into 657 Boulevard because of the increasingly erratic threats; they spent the ensuing years trying to sell the house, despite its now-tainted reputation, and figure out the culpritâs identity. Their story, with many creative flourishes from Ryan Murphy, is now the subject [of the Netflix miniseries The Watcher](. [Read More]( Devour pop culture with us.

14-Across, Three Letters: AC/DC song with a lot of oi-oi-oi-ing.
Photo-Illustration: Vulture; Photos: Getty Images Itâs the song that launched a thousand TikTok videos â or over 500,000 to be exact: Steve Lacyâs âBad Habit.â The track is a smooth, psychedelia-tinged ode to yearning, currently spending its third week on the top of the Billboard âHot 100.â âBad Habitâ specifically, though, is rooted in the genre of bedroom pop, a scene slowly gaining mainstream traction. With this track, Lacy is taking the sound thatâs seeped through TikTok and Spotify to the top of the charts. On [this episode of Switched On Pop](, we dig deep into Lacyâs career and his ability to craft immaculate melodies.
