'Amy Schumer Growing' review: The new Amy meets the old Amy

WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Amy Schumer taped this show _ her second for Netflix _ at the landmark Chicago Theatre in December. Topics include her pregnancy, recent marriage, current affairs and sex. It's raw _ very raw _ so not for everyone.

MY SAY: A lot has happened to Rockville Centre, N.Y.-raised Schumer in between Netflix concerts, as their respective titles indicate. The 2017 "Leather Special" featured her in a patent leather black jumpsuit. With a little imagination _ or matching mask _ she could've easily morphed into Batwoman.

On "Growing," she's wearing a dark maternity swing dress _ stylish, sure, but also functional, practical and (to use another word that's rarely, possibly never, associated with her) sensible. This also works as a prop when she hikes it up at one point to reveal that bump and a swollen belly button she has covered with a couple of bandages.
