A very sad incident occurred on the set of Marvel’s upcoming Wonder Man series this morning. As reported by Deadline, a rigger (who has not yet been named) fell to his death from the rafters at CBS Radford Studios where the show is being filmed. Nothing was being shot at the time.

A mixture of jazz heads and OutKast stans lined up outside the Blue Note Cafe in Greenwich Village. The tickets promised doors would open at 6 p.m., but by 5:15 p.m. there was already a healthy queue forming. “Who are you seeing?” a passerby asked a man in front of me. “André 3000,” he responded in a hushed tone, as…

All hail queen Tracy Chapman. The legendary artist has always been treated with a certain degree of reverence, but this past weekend, her beautiful performance of “Fast Car” with Luke Combs at the Grammys introduced her art to a whole new generation of soon-to-be-obsessed fans. In a particularly fun little metric,…

Outside of the Taylor Swift of it all, one of the biggest stories that came out of the 2024 Grammy Awards was the arrest of Killer Mike. Video of the rapper being detained shortly after winning three Grammys went viral on Sunday night; he was later released, but few details were made publicly available as to why he…

In a collection of interviews published in 2005, British novelist and cultural commentator J.G. Ballard put forth a pithy new theory: “Sex times technology equals the future.” By then, his hypothesis had already been proven a thousand times over. It was the rabid demand for photos of Jennifer Lopez’s green Versace…

Someone needs to light some candles, say some magic words, and break whatever petty curse is lingering over the cast of Charmed already. It’s been 26 years—or “15 movies and 13 TV shows ago” in former star Alyssa Milano’s words—since the first episode of the witchy drama premiered, and the girls are still fighting. Sab…

Toby Keith, the country music superstar behind hits like “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” and “As Good As I Once Was,” has died, according to a statement on social media. The news comes 18 months after Keith revealed he had been battling stomach cancer, and three years after his diagnosis. He was 62 years old.

The 2011 film One Day, adapted from the David Nicholls novel of the same name, is not a very good film. Released during the spiritual decline of the rom-com, it had all the right elements (and ostensibly likable leads in Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess), but none of that unknowable alchemy that makes a romance truly…

True Detective: Night Country showrunner, writer, and director Issa López has told the story of how the fourth season came to be many times by now, including in an interview with The A.V. Club. She’s spoken at length about how she had a pitch ready to go when HBO came to her in search of ideas for a revival of the…

Sure, there are plenty of great free movies on YouTube—but while YouTube is awesome, it’s not the only game in town. So we decided to put together a list of other sites that also offer free movies, break down the pros and cons of each one, briefly explore what they offer beyond movies, and then dive deep into the…

Missing 420 by 24 measly hours, the release of Taylor Swift’s new album, The Tortured Poets Department, has more or less overshadowed last night’s Grammys and her 13th win. Nevertheless, it’s all money to Taylor Swift, who has opened a merch store and begun accepting non-tax-deductible donations for those poor,…

Late last month, the world was mildly surprised to hear that Universal was developing a “complete reboot” of the Jurassic Park series with original screenwriter David Koepp that wouldn’t have any of the Jurassic Park or Jurassic World stars returning. It’s weird, because Jurassic World Dominion just came out in 2022…

5,000 years ago, in 2017, James Cameron laid out his basic vision for the future of the Avatar franchise—which, at that point, was just the one movie. In addition to revealing that Avatar 2 would come out in December of 2020 (it didn’t), Cameron teased that Avatar 3 would come a year later (it didn’t), Avatar 4 would…

Anyone with even a passing interest in football, Taylor Swift, and American conservatism can tell you that the Big Game is coming up. But as The Five prepares itself for the inevitable footage of Swift enjoying her football star boyfriend score a touchdown (if that’s something he’s allowed to do in this game—we’re The…

Nicki Minaj should really read up on the Barbra Streisand effect. After writing at least one (possibly five?) new song and making a whole lot of noise on Twitter/X in response to Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hiss,” the “FTCU” rapper seems only to have made her enemy stronger. “Hiss” debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100…

Could the awards show be making a comeback? After years of steady ratings decline for ceremonies of all genres, things appear to be trending upwards. The Golden Globes, for instance, saw a 50% increase in viewership for the 2024 show, and that’s in spite of the fact that host Jo Koy bombed so hard that many of us were…

On January 1 of this year, Winnie-The-Pooh supporting character Tigger joined his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood in the public domain, meaning modern creators can now freely use the character to make whatever kinds of interesting art they want to without having to worry about the A.A. Milne estate coming after…
