Here in pop culture land, we always like a good hypothetical match-up: Can Batman beat Superman? (Almost always.) Could the cast of The Lord Of The Rings beat The Expendables in a fight? (Doubtful; magic rings can’t top rocket-propelled grenades.) Can John Wick beat Dracula? (John Wick can beat anything.) But it’s…

Turns out, the only thing you have to do to convince Sabrina to come to the dark side is to threaten everything she loves.

As we pointed out in our review of the film earlier this week, Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria remake isn’t going to be for everyone. In fact, we suspect that a good portion of moviegoers are going to hate it. So if decadent high-art witchcraft is your thing, as it is ours, please make a point of supporting the movie so we…

There’s a moment in the premiere episode of Channel Zero: The Dream Door, the newest installment of Syfy’s horror anthology series, that’s as good a jump scare as any this year. Newlywed and new homeowner Jillian has ventured through a mysterious door that has suddenly appeared in the basement of her new suburban…

All season long, Sabrina has basically acted with impunity. When she’s seen things that are wrong, she’s done her best to right them, and mostly, she’s gotten away with it. But she also never tried something as wrong as resurrecting someone from the dead, and for the first time, there are real consequences to what…

How dark will Sabrina go? It’s an uneasy balance the show has to manage, since she’s the moral center of the show, but also, the magic she’s trying is very heavy stuff. She’s willing to perform horrible magic to rescue Harvey’s brother, but it might be Ambrose’s warning to her that’s the surest sign of her wavering…

In devastating news for seekers of dick-and/or-poo-based truth, Netflix is pulling the plug on American Vandal. A true-crime parody about two teenage documentarians, Peter Maldonado and Sam Ecklund, investigating sublimely juvenile crimes within America’s schools, the Funny Or Die and CBS TV-produced comedy series is…

What lies beneath? As evidenced by this week’s Riverdale, the town has its fair share of below-the-surface tension, so Dial M For Maple goes down the hatch for a little “G&G” with Princess Etheline. Plus, hosts Marah and Cameron throw some (non-alcoholic drinks) down the hatch at Veronica’s new speakeasy, Le Bonne…

Are we having a fear of flying yet? As the new remake of The Twilight Zone slowly comes to life, with Jordan Peele serving as humble narrator to deliver ambiguous exposition and perhaps some archly ironic concluding messages, another recently supernatural-adjacent actor has joined the project.

I’m up for pretty much anything when it comes to horror movies, but I’ll make a special point to watch anything that deals with the occult. True, witchcraft has gone mainstream—you can buy “witch kits” at Sephora, for crying out loud—but those are white witches, not dedicated black-magic practitioners sacrificing some…

It’s probably not a coincidence that the strongest episodes of Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina so far have been the ones that don’t focus on Sabrina’s battle against Satan. Destiny is a weighty struggle, and the show has found humor and grounded emotions in the episodes that work better as standalone outings. The…

Despite Simpsons creator Matt Groening saying that those upset about the show’s stereotypical depiction of Indian convenience store owner Apu Nahasapeemapetilon “love to pretend to be offended,” it appears the long-running animated might be axing the character. This news comes from producer and filmmaker Adi Shankar…

“Dinner Party” is a classic Office episode. Not only does it provide our first glimpse into the bizarre, emotionally toxic home life of Michael Scott and Jan but we also get a great look at the depressing condo they share. The charades scene alone is enough to make this episode a fan favorite. As it turns out, the…

As Rick And Morty’s sole composer, Ryan Elder has been responsible for the show’s most iconic and moving musical moments. Now, thanks to Sup Pop Records and Adult Swim, most of those moments are available for fans on the official Rick And Morty Soundtrack. In the second video from our interview with Elder (check out…

Turner Classic Movies’ FilmStruck was the thinking man’s streaming platform, a hub where you could fill the gaps in your film knowledge by browsing through the Criterion Collection or, as of earlier this year, Warner Bros.’ library of classic films. Sure, you weren’t going to find 12 seasons of Top Chef in its…

One of the great privileges celebrities enjoy is the ability to break taboos. Using their influence over popular culture, musicians and actors can change the way we think about the world, challenging deeply held but outmoded ideologies and beliefs to effect positive change.

As Sabrina endeavors to straddle two worlds, it was perhaps inevitable that those two worlds would begin to overlap. Something is clearly brewing in Greendale, and the spillover into the mortal realm is likely to be equal parts dangerous and difficult for Sabrina to conceal.

August saw the sad, quiet release of a movie called Billionaire Boys Club, a crime drama featuring disgraced actor Kevin Spacey in a supporting role. It made just $1,349 domestically, and Spacey’s latest project stands to make much, much less. In fact, Netflix’s desire to disassociate from the actor entirely—they …

Episode 1: “Chapter One: October Country” | Episode 2: “Chapter Two: The Dark Baptism” | Episode 3: “Chapter Three: The Trial of Sabrina Spellman” | Episode 4: “Chapter Four: Witch Academy” | Episode 5: “Chapter Five: Dreams in a Witch House” | Episode 6: “Chapter Six: An Exorcism in Greendale” | Episode 7: “Chapter…

A Samson USB microphone, humidifiers, and Contigo’s SnapSeal Byron lead off Friday’s best deals from around the web.

During an era of television specializing in prickly characters, Mad Men excelled at presenting a protagonist who was obviously not a good person in a compelling, sympathetic way. This was helped in no small measure by Jon Hamm’s brick-jawed handsomeness and troubled, pensive energy that practically invited every man…

Given the plethora of TV options available out there in the world, either you’re the type of person who wants to watch a show with a character named Batibat, or you aren’t. And if you’re here reading this, you’re presumably in the first category.

Artists going solo are always haunted by the specter of their main gig. Thom Yorke’s pair of electronic releases under his own name, from 2006 and 2014, were little exercises in laptop craft, featuring typically baleful melodies and wry, aphoristic lyrics. In 2013 he released a one-off album with his supergroup…

Megyn Kelly will meet with executives from NBC today to discuss her future at the network, which, um, isn’t looking so bright after her (closes eyes, sighs) regretful comments about blackface. Chatter of her fate intensified that much more this morning when Today hosts Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin met with NBC…

When you get to a certain level of wealth, the entire goddamn world becomes your playground. Case in point, Grimes’ boyfriend and professional rich guy Elon Musk. When not making business decisions based on weed jokes and arming Americans with flamethrowers, Musk has to find other ways to entertain himself. While we…
