On Friday, former Smallville star Allison Mack was arrested for the role she allegedly played in acting as a recruiter for the supposed cult/sex trafficking ring Nxivm and its subgroup DOS (Dominos Obsequious Sororium, or “Master Over the Slave Women”). Along with Nxivm leader Keith Raniere, Mack was charged with sex…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases or premieres, or occasionally our own inscrutable whims. This week: As a new Juliette Binoche movie, Let The Sunshine In, begins its theatrical run in the States, we remember other highlights from the career of this world-class actor.

Thanks to the government’s assault on women’s reproductive rights over the past year, The Handmaid’s Tale—a story in which the few fertile women left in the world are reduced to incubators by an oppressive regime—became unfortunately timely. What the cast and creators of the Emmy-winning drama didn’t expect was for…

Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle was a surprisingly huge hit, pulling some box office attention away from Star Wars: The Last Jedi at the beginning of the year, and it looks like that experience has emboldened Sony so much that it’s going to directly challenge Star Wars when Jumanji 2 rolls around next year. According…

On Friday, Starz announced that it had let the Deadites win and that Ash Vs. Evil Dead would be ending after its season finale at the end of this month, prompting fans—and Bloody Disgusting—to start petitioning for Netflix (which already has the streaming rights) to keep the show alive. Unfortunately, series star…

Anyone who’s read Sean Howe’s Marvel Comics: The Untold Story or Blake Bell and Michael Vassallo’s The Secret History Of Marvel Comics knows there’s a rich background and involving narrative surrounding the creation of some of our most iconic and enduring superheroes. But a new exhibit makes a simpler argument:…

In theory, Mrs. Hyde serves as a kooky, gender-swapped French riff on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde, with Isabelle Huppert in the literally transformational role. Sounds appealing, non? Who wouldn’t want to see Huppert do the 19th-century equivalent of Hulking out, obeying…

Josh Brolin is gearing up to have a huge summer. First up, after years of anticipation, he’s finally front and center in Avengers: Infinity War, as the Mad Titan Thanos. A couple weeks after that, he’s starring as fan-favorite Cable in the highly anticipated Deadpool sequel. Most people would stop there, but Brolin…

A few years ago, when I was a naive writer at a very different publication, I decided to do a story about an energy drink that also happened to be a respected patron of the arts.

Replacing a hard drive with an SSD is one of the most worthwhile upgrades you perform on a computer, and Samsung’s 860 EVO is one of the best drives out there. The 1TB model is currently marked down to an all-time low $280, and for the rest of this week, they’re also throwing in a copy of Far Cry 5 for PC. You’ll…

Last night saw the debut of the first full trailer for Venom, showing off the most twisted, horrid creation yet to enter the comic-book movie universe: Jenny Slate’s pronunciation of “symbiote.”

For years, Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Firefly creator Joss Whedon was hailed as a geek-friendly icon of feminist ideals, an illusion that finally came crashing down in the wake of a brutal blog post from his ex-wife Kai Cole last year in which she accused him of being a hypocrite for talking about feminism while…

Jason Reitman’s new film Tully hits theaters on May 4, reuniting the director, writer Diablo Cody, and star Charlize Theron—the team who ably skewered the final moments of rotting youthful freedom with 2011's Young Adult—to try their hand at motherhood instead. Starring Theron as a struggling mom, and Halt And Catch…

Boom! Studios has been doing remarkable work with the Power Rangers franchise over the last year, with two ongoing series that have brought depth to the property while also establishing its value as an independent superhero universe. While the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers series pushes the spectacular superhero…

Jeopardy! has had its fair share of famous players over the years, from Anderson Cooper to Willy Wonka’s Mike Teavee to Austin Rogers, who became a celebrity the moment he walked onstage. None, however, could ever hope to be as fabulous as last night’s guest presenter: RuPaul.

We write a lot about video essays. A lot. As fans of pop culture, it can be fun for us to see someone take a deep, obsessive dive into a film, TV show, pop culture trend, or genre. But, what if video essays, specifically those that trade in well-polished film analysis, are actually bad? That’s the thesis put forward…

Though your parents, yanking the power cord from the Nintendo 64 until you’d “finish your damn homework,” couldn’t tell the difference between Super Mario 64 and The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, everyone with an ounce of goddamn sense in their heads knows there’s no comparison between the two video games. In one,…

Solo: A Star Wars Story is due out May 25, after a somewhat rocky production that saw directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller replaced by Ron Howard over creative differences with Lucasfilm, the removal of Michael K. Williams’ character, and reports that Alden Ehrenreich, the star of the spin-off, needed an on-set…

Avengers: Infinity War, the culmination of roughly three dozen films and lots of loud noises, arrives this Friday. Like every Marvel film that came before it, there’s bound to be lots of frantic, breakneck battles that climax with a final half-hour that’s bound to leave you slack-eyed and drooling into your 32-ounce…

Comics are no stranger to continuing a story where another medium left off. Dozens of movies and TV shows have been continued and expanded in comic form, long after they were no longer on screen and between various iterations and installations. But The Prisoner #1 (Titan Comics) feels like a different creature in a…

Identical twins Randy and Jason Sklar released a new audio documentary Sklars And Stripes earlier this month, in which they embedded themselves in cities around the United States, and challenged themselves to write five to seven minutes of stand-up material specific to each community they visited. During our interview…

To say that Nicolas Cage’s career has had some ups and downs would be an understatement. It’d be more accurately described as a high velocity, back-breaking roller coaster of movie quality. How one actor can manage to be so good in a handful of award-worthy films and so unbelievably awful in so many discount DVD bin…

As befits a movie featuring 60 or more characters—including several of whom have their own franchises—Avengers: Infinity War has the longest runtime of any Marvel Cinematic Universe movie to date, clocking in at 156 minutes. That sounds like just enough time to find the last Infinity Stone, show us how the Asgardian…

Anyone wondering when the warm spring weather will arrive might end up reconsidering after seeing Netflix’s May blossoms (read: shows). The second season of Justin Simien’s superb Dear White People series arrives May 4, while the first half of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt season four hits the streamer at the end of the…

You might not immediately recognize Amber Nash’s name or face, but the second you hear her raucous laughter in Archer, you know things are about to get really freaky. The improv and live-theater vet is probably best known for playing “sturdy bisexual” Pam Poovey, who frequently manages to be the most debauched…
