“I’m gonna sound cocky, but they don’t really cut my scenes,” Barry Keoghan smirks in a viral clip from the latest episode of Hot Ones. “They keep ’em in there and they wish that they had more.” Given what a hot commodity Keoghan is in Hollywood these days, this cocky admission isn’t much of a surprise. It’s also not…

The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences has generally showed some willingness to change with the times, like when it expanded the number of Best Picture nominees from five to 10 after The Dark Knight failed to secure a nomination despite being The Big Movie that year, or like last year when it decided that stre…

Mojo Nixon—the incisive singer, actor, and DJ behind satirical cult hits like “Elvis Is Everywhere” and “Destroy All Lawyers”—died of a “cardiac event” onboard a country cruise he was co-hosting on Wednesday. “How you live is how you should die,” the Facebook page for his 2020 documentary, The Mojo Manifesto, posted…

While it may have been easy to miss, Taylor Swift wasn’t the only artist to announce a new album at the Grammys. During the first commercial break after she presented the Best Country Album award on Sunday, a lush, woodsy preview reel rolled officially confirming that Kacey Musgraves’ third album was on the way.…

Bob Marley: One Love traces two years in the Jamaican reggae singer’s life, from 1976 to 1978.

History intertwined with the creative process should make for a…

The Super Bowl is coming up on Sunday, February 11, and for those who don’t care about football, that means the Super Bowl Halftime Show is coming up.

If you’ve ever wondered what Veep would look like if Selina Meyer got everything she ever wanted and became an all-powerful autocrat, then HBO just might have you covered with The Regime. Coming in March, the limited series stars Kate Winslet as the fairly evil chancellor of a fictional European country in the midst…

Think back to the halcyon days of early-2000s Disney Channel. Teenage stars did messy wand IDs, the ultra-competitive Disney Channel Games were in full swing, and all of the commercials were for other Disney Channel properties. From the outside, it seemed like the coolest summer camp ever—especially when your favorite…

Life & Beth Photo: Hulu The very title of Life & Beth, Amy Schumer’s Hulu series that returns February 16, hints at the preoccupation with grief and mortality that anchor many of its episodes. While its first season was rightly focused on Beth (Schumer) grappling with the death of her mother (the brilliant Laura Benanti) and ended with this wayward woman finding an unlikely match in a farmer named John (Michael Cera, in full deadpan mode), these next 10 episodes broaden the show’s scope.

If everything feels more expensive now than it used to, that’s because a lot of things are more expensive now. That’s true basically across the board, but particularly in the media industry, where attempting to pioneer a new mode of entertainment resulted in essentially reinventing cable. Netflix forged ahead with the…

The SAG-AFTRA strike this summer was huge and important and powerful, but there was one thing we kind of missed during those long, quiet months: deeply unhinged press tours. Luckily, the actors have really delivered on this front in the time they’ve been back. Hugh Grant compared his oompa-loompa mocap suit for Wonka…

Another year of Sundance is now in the books, and while there may not have been any obvious breakout films along the lines of last year’s Past Lives, the range, diversity, and quality of the 2024 program is a sign that the specialty film market is thriving. Later this month, we’ll see more evidence when the…

Like it or not, the video game remake has become an integral part of the gaming industry in recent years—to the extent that the single biggest gaming release of the first quarter of 2024, Square-Enix’s Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, is a glossy, hyper-zoomed-in recreation of just one third of a classic game.

Clockwise from bottom left: Parks And Recreation, Arrested Development, The Simpsons, Futurama (Screenshots: YouTube) Graphic: Rebecca Fassola February 14 is just around the corner, people. Which means it’s high time to rewatch those Valentine’s Day-centric TV episodes, whether they toast the holiday, revel in its craziness, poke fun at it, or what-have-you. From Michael Scott’s tour of Times Square in The Office to a survey of what love actually is in Orange Is The... Читать дальше...

Ever since Trevor Noah announced, back in September of 2022, that he’d be leaving his position as host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, there’s been a slight question of “What comes next?” hanging over the internationally famous comedian’s head. It’s not like he’s been idle, per se; 2023 saw Noah release a new…

Everything might be going to hell, but at least there’s much-needed respite in the form of Abbott Elementary. ABC’s award-winning sitcom returned in all its glory tonight with its third-season premiere. And truly, I’m grateful to press play and immerse in the delightful Quinta Brunson-created world. There’s nothing…

It’s been almost two weeks now since the internet collectively transitioned into a post-“Having seen the Dune 2 AMC popcorn bucket” world, a period that’s seen everyone, in their own way, find their peace with, well, this:

Disney made a rather surprising announcement this week, revealing that it’s making a previously unmentioned sequel to its 2016 animated hit Moana. And when we say “making a sequel,” we actually mean “taking a previously scheduled Moana TV show, redeveloping it into the shape of a movie, and calling it Moana 2,” which…

If you’ve been following any of our extensive coverage of Taylor Swift (some of you probably wish you weren’t!), you will be familiar with the refrain: no one can be normal about Taylor Swift. In the past year, rabid conjecture about her life and career has picked up from all sides, fans and foes alike. Her…

Look. Eternals wasn’t good. You know it, The A.V. Club knows it (we gave it a C+), director Chloé Zhao knows it, and Kumail Nanjiani certainly knows it. “The reviews were bad, and I was too aware of it,” the actor said of the film, in which he played an immortal being named Kingo, during an appearance on the “Inside…
