The juggernaut of Harry Potter really can’t be stopped, even as J.K. Rowling descends further and further into an obsession with the rhetoric of trans-exclusionary radical feminism. The latest stop on the gravy train is a new set of audiobooks from Audible (a subsidiary of Amazon) and Pottermore Publishing (the audio…

Every day, once a day, Kyle MacLachlan gives his adoring public a present. Whether he’s spoofing Lorde’s Instagram or simply trying to understand what “babygirl” means, McLachlan has ingratiated himself into the hearts of netizens. Today, filling the internet void which is as black as midnight on a moonless night,…

If you were disappointed by HBO’s decision to cancelWinning Time: The Rise Of The Lakers Dynastylast fall, FX’s new show about LA’s other basketball team might be just the thing for you. Based on ESPN’s 30 for 30 podcast The Sterling Affairs, FX’s upcoming series Clipped shines a light on all the players—both on and…

Larry Dalrymple has died. Perhaps best known for his staggering 35 seasons on The Simpsons as the sad, balding drunk who hung out at Moe’s, Dalrymple was a long-running fixture of the bar’s dank milieu. Springfield barkeep Moe Szyslak confirmed his death on Sunday. No cause of death was given. He was 42.

Doctor Who made headlines casting Ncuti Gatwa as the latest Doctor, not only because he’s the first Black actor to play the role but because he would be, in the words of Neil Patrick Harris, “the first gay Doctor.” (Sorry to the doomed romance of 14 and Yaz, and any headcanons you might have floating around.) Although…

Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction—part of a case that ushered in the #MeToo movement and led to a long overdue reckoning for predatory men in Hollywood and beyond—was overturned by a New York court today after it determined that the original trial was prejudiced against the disgraced producer and relied on…

Sequels to big, dumb, beloved comedies are almost always a bad idea: inevitably disappointing, rarely capturing the magic of the original, often seemingly like a desperate cash grab. (See: Blues Brothers 2000, Caddyshack II, etc.) But Ben Stiller must’ve thought he was exempt when he took a stab at a second Zoolander.…

Anyone who’s watched a few episodes of HBO’s excellent, very funny Hacks has already been exposed to the comedic wrecking ball style of Megan Stalter, who manages to steal pretty much every scene she shows up in as devotedly incompetent agents’ assistant/boss’ daughter Kayla. Now, Stalter—who also appeared in this…

Donnie Darko crashed into theaters a little over twenty years ago, bringing with it one of cinema’s all-time great soundtracks—one that still resonates all these years later. This May, A24 and director Jane Schoenbrun are hoping to provide the same for a new generation with their soundtrack to I Saw The TV Glow, a…

Netflix’s Baby Reindeer is full of turbulence. Series creator and comedian Richard Gadd lifts from his real-life experience with a stalker to write seven jaw-dropping episodes that are tough to digest. They’re emotionally devastating and cause physical discomfort but deliver a profoundly human story that’s impossible…

Though Boy Kills World (the feature debut of German writer-director Moritz Mohr) tries its best to conjure a snarky, gory action flick à la Deadpool, a sorely lacking script, bloated runtime, and aimless direction render this revenge flick aggressively tepid.

In case the title wasn’t enough of a hint, Dead Boy Detectives wastes no time establishing its paranormal setting. There are demons, possessions, World War II and Victorian-era spirits, an evil witch, a larger-than-life snake, a glowing squid, and magical mirrors galore in the first episode alone. Netflix’s drama,…

In a move it’s very difficult not to see in terms of the recent nostalgia/horror firestorm surrounding the network’s Nickelodeon docuseries Quiet On Set, Investigation Discovery has announced that it’ll soon be launching a four-part investigative series into ’90s and 2000s pop culture mainstays Nick and Aaron Carter.…

“I have this sneaking suspicion that something is going to happen today,” Milwaukee Dan sagely introduced Wednesday night’s edition of Top Chef: Wisconsin. And he was quickly proven right: Even before host Kristen Kish could delight the chef-testants by bringing out baking great Christina Tosi—the James Beard…

The U.K. version of Rebel Wilson’s new memoir Rebel Rising will be a bit different from the version previously published in the United States—to the tune of most of the material contained in the attention-heavy chapter “Sacha Baron Cohen And Other Assholes,” and specifically all of the stuff about Cohen himself. The…

It was probably inevitable that, of all the really big names in rap and hip-hop, the first one who’d get seriously obnoxious with A.I was going to be Drake. (It was him or Kanye West, and West’s trajectory is so weird and out of step with modern tastes right now as to make the confluence unlikely). After all, A.I. is…

Someone will say, “What is lost can never be saved.” Nevertheless, Billy Corgan is still trying to bring the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) back and has two shows on The CW app that will cage his rage. Announced earlier today, Corgan is bringing his experiences attempting to restore NWA to its former glory to…

People have been trying, for at least 20 years, to turn Cormac McCarthy’s Western opus Blood Meridian into a movie—and every single one of them has failed. Big names, too: Ridley Scott moved heaven or hell to try to get the movie made in the 2000s, and Tommy Lee Jones, who would later star in the Coens’ adaptation of…
