By the third season of Dave, Dave Burd, a.k.a. Lil Dicky, was scoring major celebrity guests: Usher, Rachel McAdams, Drake, Don Cheadle, and Brad Pitt were just a few of the A-list names to grace his set.

It’s hard to tell exactly what’s going on in The Sympathizer trailer, which seems to be the point of The Sympathizer (premiering April 14).

Several months after being released in theaters, Ridley Scott’s big hat-wearing epic Napoleon is finally moving to its forever-home on Apple TV+… but there’s a small catch, and that is not a joke about the historical perception of Napoleon Bonaparte being a short man but is, in fact, a commonly used expression.…

Johnny Depp is a gross dude. In case everything that came out during the Amber Heard trialdidn’t totally persuade you, a new, in-depth report from Vanity Fair on his “epic bromance” with Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman (known as MBS) should. The report is very long and there’s a lot to chew on, but…

It’s safe to say The CW’s heydey is way, way behind us. At one point a decade ago, the network was thriving with its array of superhero dramas (Arrow, The Flash, Legends Of Tomorrow, and Supergirl), inventive originals (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Jane The Virgin), and wild YA fare (Riverdale, The 100, The Vampire Diaries,…

It’s a customary cliché to say that certain actors are so compelling, a viewer might pay to watch them read the phone book. Land Of Bad, despite its hilariously simplistic title, isn’t quite that on the nose, but it does feature an extended sequence of cutaways to Russell Crowe ... doing his grocery shopping. And…

Maybe the Book of Revelation was onto something with that whole Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse thing. If you’ve been paying attention to world events in 2024, you may have noticed some eerie similarities to a certain calendar year where things went... a bit south. 2020 was a leap year (so is this one), the Chiefs…

So much of the Twilight phenomenon hinged on the obsessive, parasocial relationship fans developed with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson and their romantic relationship.

Let’s start with a warning: Constellation is not for everybody. Apple TV+’s latest sci-fi thriller, which premieres February 21, only rewards those with plenty of patience.

Bob Marley’s life finally hits the big screen this week in the form of Bob Marley: One Love. In his 36 years, Marley lived a life so rich and tumultuous, not all of it can be distilled into a biopic.

Among Eminem’s various contributions to our cultural lexicon—Mom’s spaghetti, “real” Slim Shadys, an abiding and unshakeable affection for Venom—few are as likely to endure as long as “Stans.” Named for Eminem’s 2000 song/Devon Sawa trivia factoid, the term has come to serve as a blanket label for too-obsessive fans…
