Kanye West has been on a bizarre tear lately, actively and loudly rejecting anyone and anything who tries to tell him what he can and cannot (or at least should not) do. This has resulted in him repeatedly declaring that Donald Trump is pretty cool, sharing a bizarre new song, and suggesting on TMZ that slavery was a…

Manhunt, an unbelievable cheesefest directed by the Hong Kong action godhead John Woo from a script with seven credited writers, begins with touristy vistas of Japan: coastal waves, a harbor, tiled streets. In a montage of freeze frames and dissolves (an omen of more wack editing to come), a Chinese out-of-towner in a…

In a statement shared by BuzzFeed News reporter Kate Aurthur, the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences—a.k.a. the organization behind the Academy Awards—has announced that its Board Of Governors has voted to expel both Bill Cosby and Roman Polanski from its membership “in accordance with the organization’s…

An important discussion arose in the Jalopnik pod this week: why, in Batman Begins, did Batman ask then-Sgt. Jim Gordon if he could drive stick before he got into the Tumbler Batmobile, when there’s no way the Tumbler Batmobile has a manual transmission? Why would Batman just lie like that?

Arise, ye manly men of America! Cast aside the politically correct shackles of common decency and mutual respect, strap on your tool belts, fire up the grill (meat only, vegetables are for little girls), and crack open a lukewarm canned domestic, for the hour of your liberation is nigh! One year after ABC sent the…

Spoiler alert: Plot points for Avengers: Infinity War will be revealed below.

Friends don’t let friends play Mario Kart multiplayer with a single Joy-Con turned sideways. If you actually want to enjoy Switch multiplayer games, you’ll need some extra controllers. Real ones. And these wired models from PDP are both down to their lowest prices today. They’re the exact same controller, but the…

On Sunday, we reported that Marvel had a relatively small list of female directors it was considering for the long-awaiting, much-requested Black Widow spin-off movie, including Deniz Gamze Erguven, Chloe Zhao, Amma Asante, Maggie Betts, and Angela Robinson. According to Variety reporter Justin Kroll, though, the list…

Though we would have much preferred to dub this discussion of the new YouTube Red series, Cobra Kai, a “Roundhousetable,” we didn’t have enough participants available to attend a Fathom Events advanced screening on a weeknight. But the series premiere, which was screened at select theaters nationwide last week via…

The year is 2018, and the QVC-grade, cubic zirconium kleptocracy being staged by America’s reality show host turned president, though buffeted by vocal support from Roseanne Barr and Kanye West, faces its most tangible threats in the form of a porn star, the unpaved Ground Zero of Rudy Giuliani’s mouth, and now,…

Whether it’s the politically-charged, “what-if” scenarios of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Man In the High Castle, the technological nightmares of Black Mirror and Electric Dreams, or the upcoming (and controversial) Confederacy, there’s no shortage of imagined dystopias on television right now. Also on that list is…

DC’s Green Arrow already has a long-running TV show on The CW, but the hood-wearing, left-leaning vigilante has yet to make a big screen appearance—until now. Alright, this trailer for Robin Hood isn’t really a Green Arrow movie, but move the action from merry olde England to a modern coastal city and the differences…

Charlie Rose’s plans to pitch a talk show where he interviews other alleged serial harassers about how difficult it is to be held accountable for your actions just hit a speed bump, as this morning The Washington Post published the results of an investigation in which an astounding 27 former colleagues of Rose’s at…

One of the more memorable bits from John Mulaney’s laugh-packed new stand up special is his description of child homicide detective and public speaker J.J. Bittenbinder. With his signature cowboy hat, handlebar mustache, thick Chicago accent, and graphic descriptions of ways children could fend off their would-be…

Ted Cruz, failed presidential candidate, prime suspect for the Zodiac murders, and noted fan of the Texas Longporns, is desperate to remind you he’s just a regular person. Like the rest of us, whose retrograde views on everything from women’s rights and gun violence to climate change also affect public policy, Cruz is…

In an unprecedented move, the Television Academy has removed Bill Cosby’s name from its Hall Of Fame. The actor and comedian, who had been an honoree since 1992, now no longer shows up in searches of the official roster of those inducted into the Hall.

There is an entire separate ecosystem that exists within the internet that is designed to calm you. There are “oddly satisfying” GIFs on Reddit and hour-long ASMR videos on YouTube and entire fleets of websites that serve as weighted blankets against the shrieking terror of the rest of the internet. These things can…

[Warning: This story contains major spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War.]

The cheeky, self-referential marketing for the Deadpool films can be—and we mean this in the most affectionate way possible—a little much sometimes. But hiring ‘90s movie-soundtrack queen Celine Dion to perform an original song for the upcoming Deadpool 2, then making a good old-fashioned music video foe the song that…
