In February, the Paramount Network delayed the debut of its TV reboot of Heathers after the deadly school shooting in Parkland, Florida, explaining that one of the “challenging subjects” the show tackled—along with personal identity, race, and socio-economic status—was gun violence. Now, Variety is reporting that …

Is the subject of RBG Ruth Bader Ginsburg the centrist 85-year-old Supreme Court Justice, the feminist lawyer, or the liberal-moderate meme? The truth is that it’s a bit about all three, though no topic gets more than a cursory overview in Julie Cohen and Betsy West’s breathlessly superficial, school-presentation-ish…

We’re only two episodes into the second season, but it seems that’s long enough to pull the trigger: HBO’s sentient host robots have renewed the dystopian theme-park thriller Westworld—or as they call it, “a heartwarming origin story of how we took over humanity”—for a third season.

Here’s what happens when you become a dad: You start to relate to other dads. That’s it. There’s no epiphany, no sweeping change that comes over your heart and inspires you to grow a mustache and get into craft beer. You just relate to the dad now. You see a home-insurance commercial about a stay-at-home dad and you…

Do you mourn the laugh track? Sure, it still exists on duds like The Big Bang Theory and Kevin Can Wait, but the majority of TV comedies have rendered the laugh track as dead as the people who, once upon a time, produced that very laughter. Well, YouTuber Drew Gooden most surely does not mourn the laugh track, which,…

A World War I movie that never goes near the battlefield (apart from one shot of corpses at the outset), The Guardians seeks to memorialize the hardships of those who stayed home. That means it’s primarily a story about women—in this case, French women who worked the family farm while their husbands, brothers, and…

Your move, TV Academy: The Hollywood Reporter brings the news that Bruce Springsteen will receive a special Tony Award for his bestselling solo show Springsteen On Broadway, putting him just one lousy Emmy away from the elusive EGOT.

Between his work on Archer, Bob’s Burgers, and any number of Adult Swim shows, H. Jon Benjamin is one of comedy’s most successful voice actors, in addition to working regularly on-camera. Of course, Benjamin hasn’t always been on his current hot streak, and that’s the subject of his just-released memoir, Failure Is An…

Facebook has taken a lot of heat lately for its reckless sharing of private data, a widening controversy—in tandem with concurrent controversies over misinformation in its news feed and an employee allegedly using user info to cyber-stalk women—that has seen founder Mark Zuckerberg congressionally poked, as many have…

As predicted back in February, iconic guitar company Gibson has been forced to file bankruptcy in an attempt to pull itself out of a financial tailspin caused by a series of organizational issues behind the scenes—in other words, the company still makes a ton of money, but its built in such a poor way that it’s having…

Harvey Weinstein is under investigation by prosecutors in New York, Los Angeles, and London for his alleged sex crimes, but he still may never face criminal charges for sexual assault, let alone sexual harassment. But one woman who says that her career was derailed by the disgraced producer is hitting him where it…

The actor: Alan Cumming began his acting career in Scotland, working in the theater and taking on whatever TV or film roles might come his way. By 1991, he’d won his first Olivier Award and soon became a familiar face to U.K. audiences. Things took off for him in a big way in the mid-1990s, thanks both to high-profile…

When Arrested Development made the jump to Netflix for its fourth season in 2013, it introduced a weird and somewhat controversial format that involved dedicating each episode to a single member of the Bluth family. The idea was intended to embrace the show’s new streaming home, where viewers could choose whatever…

Coming out onto the enormous, lavishly glitzy stage of Radio City Music Hall to start his new comedy special, John Mulaney stands alone facing the huge, appreciative crowd and squarely orients himself with his very first line: “I love to play venues where, if the guy that built the venue could see me on the stage, he…

Sliding Doors emerged unassumingly in 1998 as a slight, clever romantic drama, but its crackerjack premise went on to capture the imaginations of anxious people everywhere. Sliding Doors’ high-concept gimmick goes thusly: Alternating parallel universes, based on the two paths that Gwyneth Paltrow’s life will go based…

Almost a year ago, we did something nice for Jim O’Heir: we took him to a local animal shelter PAWS Chicago, and let him play with some puppies and kittens. He never got around to watching the video we made from the experience, so we showed it to him, and filmed his very wholesome reaction.

Hey there, friend! Yes, you! How’d you like to take a break from the crushing grind of the news cycle and spend the next three and a half minutes basking in the mellow musical vibes and charming vintage circus aesthetics of a new music video from Los Angeles singer-songwriter Coby Brown? Well then, step right up!

Queer Eye 2.0 on Netflix is a unmitigated smash. Each member of the new Fab Five is more adorable than the next as they transform the lives of men gay and straight, helping them with everything from adding plants to their back deck to coming out of the closet to relatives.

In addition to highly anticipated releases from Courtney Barnett, Tee Grizzley, and The Body, May holds some of our early favorites for 2018: Jon Hopkins’ follow-up to 2013 breakthrough Immunity, DJ Koze’s extremely fun Knock Knock, Beach House’s enigmatic seventh record, and Parquet Courts’ most politically direct…

Just as Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy seek to tirelessly obfuscate Westworld’s timeline, HBO did everything in its power to ensure Giancarlo Esposito’s guest spot on Sunday’s episode remained a secret. It makes sense; it’s always a joy to see Esposito, but to see him as a villain is to evoke his star-making turn as …

We are on stage (checks math) six of the backlash to Michelle Wolf’s speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner? It’s hard to keep track. The point is, after making some extremely appropriate and well-tuned jokes about our dumb administration and media apparatus, Wolf has been under siege by faux-outraged…

The first full-length trailer for Marvel’s Ant-Man And The Wasp has arrived, and although it still doesn’t explain where Ant-Man and the Wasp were during the events of Avengers: Infinity War, for those who gravitate towards the lighter side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this similarly fleet-footed sequel to the…

For horror fans growing up any time between the ‘80s and the mid-2010s, Fangoria magazine was essential. Searching Twitter for references to “My first Fangoria” proves the specificity and affection with which lifers remember their gateway issue, their first exposure to a darker, more exciting world that stoked their…

In a way, “All Hands On Decker” is a pretty special episode of Lucifer. It provides the audience with two of the series’ sure-fire (but sparingly used) dynamics in the form of a Lucifer/Dan team-up and the whole Lucifer lady squad. Both of these dynamics guarantee a fun episode, and that’s what Lucifer delivers.…
