The Walking Dead is husk of what it once was, shambling along and going through the motions of survival, and its ratings have reflected that by dropping significantly from where they were in the show’s glory days. As reported by Variety, The Walking Dead still performed relatively strong throughout its eighth season,…

Though it’d be a delight to hear him say it, the clip above is not Barack Obama calling Donald Trump a “total and complete dipshit.” Instead, as the video reveals, it is Oscar-winner Jordan Peele doing an impression of Obama matched with a video-rendering of the former president. It is an example of the so-called “…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases or premieres, or occasionally our own inscrutable whims. This week: The recent (and very strange) Jeannette: The Childhood Of Joan Of Arc has us tapping our toes to other rock musicals, rock operas, and rock-driven movies.

We’ve seen a lot of weird, off the mark, and just plain bad product tie-ins over the years here at The A.V. Club, as our annual Year In Swag roundups can attest. (Hello, KFC turntable.) But we’d like to formally state for the record—because such a thing has become necessary—that silk lingerie sets in colors inspired…

Apparently it pays to be a reliable filmmaker who has directed some of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful blockbusters of all time, as Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Steven Spielberg has recently become the first director to have made more than $10 billion at the worldwide box office.…

The original Super Troopers was marketed with the tag line, “Altered State Police.” In the sequel, released some 17 years later, there is a scene in which one of those aforementioned drug-addled cops hallucinates the words “Highway Patrol” reversing to say “Way High Patrol.” If there is any further doubt as to what…

Mad Max: Fury Road’s path to Oscars glory was a famously long and tortured one, and things aren’t looking any easier for the (as-yet-hypothetical) fifth and sixth films in the franchise. In fact, as The Sydney Morning Herald reports, there may never be another Mad Max movie, thanks to a “bitter court battle” currently…

Late last year, Morrissey threw a prolonged tantrum after a German news site had the gall to publish some truly terrible things he said in an interview about sexual assault, the Holocaust, and refugees, with the former Smiths frontman accusing the outlet of editing his comments specifically to make him look bad. The…

After a period of waffling between which Margot Robbie star vehicle to make next, DC is moving forward with an untitled female superhero ensemble project that’s most likely the Birds Of Prey movie, as Deadline reports. That film was previously thought to be scrapped in favor of the David Ayer-directed Gotham City…

Adapted from their hit stage show, which played the West End in 2010 and 2011, Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman’s Ghost Stories pays homage to what was then a largely defunct mini-genre: the British omnibus horror movie. They were thinking of old-school chillers like Dead Of Night (1945), Black Sabbath (1963), and Asylum …

For those who aren’t familiar with the man, Mike Cernovich is a professional conspiracy theorist, social media personality, and general far-right dingbat. He’s made a career out of attaching himself to various extreme causes like GamerGate and the Pizzagate conspiracy, all while peddling various supplements and snake…

Dorm-room philosophizing gets a bad rap. The phrase has become shorthand for lazy, facile thought experiments, but in truth, having long and searching conversations with friends about the big questions in life is often a lot of fun, even when you don’t possess the knowledge to go terribly deep on a subject. (Some…

The Trump administration, for all its wild and terrifying incompetence, also occasionally creates jokes too perfectly structured to be invented. To wit: You would not believe it in a piece of fiction that Fox News chin-haver Sean Hannity, the president’s blusteriest man, is also the mysterious third client of Trump’s…

While the execution of its undeniably original concept is solid, the idea of The Honeymoon Stand Up Special ultimately promises more than it delivers. The unique, three-part special from (fairly) recently wed comics and Another Period co-stars Natasha Leggero and Moshe Kasher comes at the audience in three segments.…

Since its debut in 2003, writer Evan Dorkin and artist Jill Thompson’s Beasts Of Burden has been one of the comic industry’s best horror titles, telling chilling, heartfelt stories with a cast of adorable animals who join forces to fight supernatural threats. The various Beasts Of Burden one-shots over the years have…

Imagine yourself in olden times, tooling around some country roads in your horseless carriage. Lost, you may hail a friendly farmer on the side of the road. “Ahoy there! Can you tell me how to get to Berkshire?” “Of course, fine stranger,” the farmer would reply. “Just stay on this road for a few miles, turn right at…

You probably recognize Sophie Turner from Game Of Thrones and the X-Men franchise, but we unsophisticated pop-culture dweebs at The Takeout are too busy stuffing our faceholes to spend much time keeping up with Hollywood trendsetters. Instead, we admire Turner not for her acting chops, but for her side obsession:…

We’ve always thought of Drake as too much of a goofball to pull off the whole “stone-faced assassin curb stomping gangsters in an elevator” look (see: his video congratulating LeBron James on 30,000 career points), but nevertheless Degrassi’s most famous alum is taking inspiration from Ryan Gosling and Drive to…

We’ve been beating the drum about upcoming horror film Hereditary for a while now. First it was the film’s premiere at Sundance, then the nightmarish follow-up screening at SXSW to haunt lucky(?) viewers. But there’s a good reason we keep talking it up: The damn thing is absolutely terrifying. And now there’s a new…

Anker, as you probably know by now, makes a lot of products. But I don’t think any of them are as ambitious as the Nebula Capsule, a surprisingly good portable projector shrunk down to the size of a soda can.

At this point in his impressively varied career, Timothy Olyphant just isn’t content with the standard late-night talk show chit-chat. Last week, the Santa Clarita Diet star spent much of his Late Night With Seth Meyers interview taking comic issue with Meyers’ introduction, and grilling the host about the nature of…

Hello there. My name is Paul Maroon, and I’m a professional musician who’s played in bands for the past 30 years, most recently in a group called The Walkmen. In that time, I’ve picked up a fair amount of information, some of which is actually pretty useful: How to kill a week at a Toronto airport hotel. How to solve…

I’ve said it before, I’ll most likely say it again: Despite its classification as a procedural, that aspect of the show is the thing Lucifer cares least about. That’s technically a good thing, as the show’s more concerned with character development and interactions—as well as arcs and mythology—than the whole cop show…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, April 17. All times are Eastern.

Funny person Amy Schumer is in talks for a role that sounds decidedly unfunny, with Deadline reporting that she might star in Katherine Fugate’s Christy Martin—a movie about the groundbreaking boxer of the same name. Deadline describes the movie as a “gritty drama” about “a woman who never gives up and who keeps going…
