Writer Si Spurrier has built a career on off-kilter, high-concept science fiction stories, and for his latest Vertigo title, Motherlands, he’s put a dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship at the core of the plot. Tab is a bounty hunter following in the professional footsteps of her elderly mother, Selena, a former…

If last year’s Archer: Dreamland was the animated show’s equivalent of a semester abroad—a fun but frivolous affair, enjoyable yet lacking the usual stakes to invest in—then Danger Island, the new season, is a follow-up spring break in Miami. There’s still pleasures to be had, but it’s all a bit hollow.

The news moves quickly in 2018. You spend all morning contextualizing Kanye’s massively exciting upcoming release schedule (new Nas album!) with his troubling support for anti-Black Lives Matter pundit Candace Owens. You check Kanye’s Twitter, which seems to have settled into a new subject of interest—Teslas,…

It was a good weekend for TV, with more than half the episodes The A.V. Club reviewed receiving a B+ or higher. We’ve rounded up this weekend’s reviews here, both for your convenience and in hopes that maybe you’ll find a new show to check out. (Give Killing Eve a watch.)

Over the past several years, the Dave Hill-Dick Cavett relationship slowly entered the pantheon of great Hollywood friendships to rival the likes of Affleck and Damon, or even Oprah and Gayle. They’ve interviewed each other, made a web series together, and even taken shots at Amazon together. At SXSW, where Hill was…

After nearly two dozen installments, the current era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is set to end with Avengers 4. Spider-Man and Black Panther will still be around, and Captain Marvel is just getting started (reportedly with a cameo in Avengers: Infinity War), but the new phase of the MCU—which Kevin Feige has…

The 27-date run kicks off June 11 in Seattle and wraps nearly two months later in the singer’s adopted hometown. Tickets will go…

Even though the overblown “controversy” is so 2017, Rick And Morty co-creator Dan Harmon is still being forced to talk about his show’s complicated relationship with McDonald’s Szechuan sauce. What started out as a running joke in the show’s season three premiere turned into a blood feud after the fast food franchise…

This podcast is for people who enthusiastically greet a pup on the street without ever looking its owner in the eye. Hosts Allegra Ringo and Renee Colvert give updates on their own dogs, Tugboat and Pistachio (both of whom make a barking cameo or two throughout the show), and go into detail on all their encounters…

Opening credits are a curious thing in this era of modern TV. Some, like FX’s Atlanta or HBO’s Here And Now, focus primarily on the title card, with the weight of its appearance informed by the context of the previous scene. Others, like, say, Mad Men, stick to their template and don’t deviate. HBO’s Westworld, then,…

Though your personal preference may vary, Szechuan sauce and “I’M PICKLE RICK” are easily in the top five most-circulated bits and quotes from Rick And Morty season three. The former took on risible life outside of the show, while the latter has had its Breaking Bad parallels broken down by co-creator Dan Harmon. The…

When A.V. Club Executive Editor Laura M. Browning recently polled one of our company Slack channels looking for heavy workout music by women, I sent her Princess Nokia’s “Kitana,” a song that makes me feel invincible enough to walk down the street overturning cars and knocking down lampposts despite my 5’ 2” frame.…

It’s easy to think of the people you see in memes are simply that: Memes. There is no human behind “Ermahgerd” or “Neck Vein Guy,” only the larger umbrella archetype that they’ve come to represent. But these images all had an original sources, as evidenced by the case of “*Tips Fedora,”the ubiquitous meme that’s…

The audacity of Illuminati celebrities knows no bounds. Even after they’ve been caught making triangle hands and eating babies or whatever, they just keep going, revealing the darkest secrets of their notoriously secretive order by constantly referencing it in public performances. No current…

Given the events of the first season finale, it’s unlikely Anthony Hopkins will be popping up in the flesh in this new season of Westworld. But that doesn’t mean he can’t still find ways to creep everybody out with his disturbing use of technology. Over the weekend, the 80-year-old Academy Award winner used a…

Parks And Recreation alum and A.V. Club regular Jim O’Heir is taking his talents to the web as host of a new singing competition series, Lullaby League.

The actor: Ivonne Coll first stepped onto the international stage as Miss Puerto Rico in the 1967 Miss Universe Pageant, but she had no intention of being an actress.

Now is the Yeezy season of our discontent. Following up last week’s announcement of not one but two new albums, one a full-length collaboration with long-time right-hand-man Kid Cudi, Kanye West has now announced three more releases. In a series of tweets last night, he laid out an exceedingly ambitious release…

Even if you had issues with the first one, Ni No Kuni II is worth picking up for any JRPG fans out there, if only for the gorgeous animation. The game’s only a month old, but all three editions are cheaper than ever on PS4 today, if you don’t include preorder discounts.

Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s Westworld adaptation has come a long way from early reports of its fitful production, including calls for extras to perform some “genital-on-genital touching.” Now in its second season, the sci-fi/western thriller series has offered engrossing mystery after mystery, and several great…

In a story that surely breaks The Independent’s record for the number of times the word “ejaculation” is used—11, or 12 if you count the photo caption—the paper reports on the results of a study that found sexually frustrated male fruit flies are more likely to choose alcohol “to gain an alternative reward.” The…
