The Halloween series may have humbly returned to the masked slasher formula after the failure of Halloween III: Season Of The Witch—a film that has since been thoroughly redeemed in the eyes of horror fans—but horror studio Blumhouse is hoping to learn from John Carpenter’s mistake with its new series, Into The Dark.…

The DC Universe subscription service, DC and Warner Bros.’ big push into the digital streaming game, is expected to debut some time later this year. And while the characters and shows the new service has collected for itself have been a pretty eclectic group so far—including the rejected-by-TNT live-action drama Titans…

As reported by The New York Times, blues drummer John “Jabo” Starks—best known for playing on a ton of James Brown hits—has died. His manager confirmed that he had been suffering from leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes and had been in a hospice for the past week. Starks was 79.

Sure, it may have been a semi-ripoff of the ending of Lost In Translation—albeit without the romantic chemistry—but it was still a very moving moment on The Office: Pam Beesly saying something off-mic to Michael Scott as he said farewell to Scranton and Dundler Mifflin for good. (Yes, he came back for the finale, but…

Akira is the gift that keeps on giving, a proto-cyberpunk vision of the apocalypse that has only gotten more ineffably cool as the decades have rolled on. Pretty much all of its iconography—the pill jacket, the bike, the anime boy freaking the fuck out, the bloom of the mushroom cloud, that shrieking sentient…

USA’s dystopian sci-fi series Colony returns tonight for its third season with the Bowmans and their allies fending off the mysterious Hosts, the controlling (alien?) forces that run humanity. In honor of the new season, we spoke with stars Sarah Wayne Callies and Josh Holloway to find out their favorite aliens from…

Last year, the board of directors for the Boy Scouts Of America voted unanimously to begin allowing girls to join the organization, a decision that had more to do with declining membership than the growing influence of Social Justice Warriors or whatever. Today, the organization made another announcement that will…

Ethics studies tend to start subjects off with some easy dilemmas before moving on to the really tough decisions. They might initially ask, for example, whether you’d leap into the ocean to save someone who’s drowning, even if doing so would ruin an expensive pair of shoes (that there’s no time to remove, let’s say).…

Given that Harvey Weinstein’s value has depreciated from “Oscar-winning movie mogul” to “reported serial rapist” over the past year, perhaps it’s only fitting that a private equity firm that specializes in, among other investments, buying up underperforming auto dealerships placed the winning bid in the Weinstein…

Every day brings new twists and turns to the saga of MoviePass, giving subscribers a regular reminder that they should get as much use out of that little red card as they can before the theater chains nuke the whole service from orbit, but today we have a rare bit of good news. Recently, the MoviePass website stopped…

There’s been nearly 30 Castlevania games since the series debuted in Japan in 1986 and subsequently moved to the Nintendo a year later. Game quality has varied, but one aspect of the games has remained consistent: Those badass tunes. We did our own deep dive into the game’s signature musical style a few years ago, but…

Aline Kominsky-Crumb isn’t fearless, but when it comes to sharing her life experiences, she bravely reveals what many choose to hide. She pioneered how women are represented in art, and her comics aren’t afraid of exposing her anxieties, desires, and personal trauma for all the world to see. Originally published in…

Spoiler alert: Major plot points for Avengers: Infinity War—including the ending—will be revealed below.

We’re barely two episodes into the second season of Westworld and already the show has provided its notoriously prolific fan community with plenty of fuel for their theories. At this point, it seems like every frame contains some clue about a different timeline, potential hidden host, or ultimate endgame that the…

Rockstar Games is a little less than six months away from finally releasing Red Dead Redemption II, the hugely anticipated follow-up to its era-defining Western drama. And with that day closing in (unless, of course, the game suffers yet another delay) Rockstar has offered up a new trailer giving us the most in-depth…

There are works of art that ask you to read between the lines, to intuit and evaluate and search your mind and thoughts and assumptions, to ask that you experience it without hand-holding. Bruce Miller’s The Handmaid’s Tale is not such a work of art. The performances are often subtle, because these actors are, almost…

Here’s your weekly open thread. Thank you for making our site’s community vibrant, intelligent, and fun!

Human sexuality is incredibly complicated and, as long as everything’s consensual and between adults, it’s nobody’s place to cast aspersions on its many complex, surprising expressions. Nothing tests this belief more thoroughly or often than the internet, an incredible invention that has not only forever changed how…

We hate to spoil the excitement of Dennis Miller fans who jumped out of bed at dawn this morning in their footie pajamas, but those supremely cutting jokes he promised to write about White House Correspondents Dinner host Michelle Wolf probably aren’t coming today.

Welcome back to AVC Sessions, our series where we bring in an artist, band, musician, singer, rapper, etc. to perform three of their tracks. This week, we’re sharing songs by Scottish indie-rock band Frightened Rabbit. Earlier this year, the five-piece embarked on The Midnight Organ Fight 10th Anniversary Tour in…

All the best moments of Racer And The Jailbird take place in the front seat of a speeding automobile. Most of the time, it’s the racer of the title, Bibi, behind the wheel. Bibi is young, beautiful, and affluent. She’s played by Adèle Exarchopoulos, who made her furiously emotive breakthrough in the sprawling,…

Last night, the Iowa Senate fast-tracked a so-called “heartbeat” bill, one of the nation’s most restrictive, that would ban most abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected—effectively banning abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. Also, Hulu has decided to renew The Handmaid’s Tale for a third season.
