Her next endeavor, a…

In expanding its slate of originals, Apple TV+ has waded into anthology, docuseries, workplace comedy, and even reboot territory.

Set in 1930s Los Angeles, Showtime’s new Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels finds the city in turmoil. Religious evangelists are stirring the pot on the radio. Callous councilmen are destroying whole immigrant neighborhoods in an attempt to lay down a highway the city doesn’t really need, and German-American members of…

What if they made a Beastie Boys movie and it wasn’t any fun? If there were none of the rambunctious spirit that defined the New York trio’s music even after they abandoned the party-boy put-ons of License To Ill? If the surviving band members’ recollections of their journey from hardcore goof-offs to…

The first rule of Quibi: You don’t talk about Quibi. The second rule of Quibi: Fine, you can talk about Quibi, but you can’t, like, tell anyone that you’re talking about Quibi.

Joe Bob Briggs is not enjoying sheltering in place. “I hate it,” he says when The A.V. Club asks how he’s been holding up—the new “what’s up?” in that it’s a question to which you can reply politely, or you can reply honestly.
