Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases or premieres, or occasionally our own inscrutable whims. This week: A new adaptation of Chekhov’s The Seagull has us thinking back on stellar movies made from stage plays.

Today, most movies are projected digitally. But there’s more to seeing a film projected the old-fashioned way, from a 35mm or 70mm print, than a nostalgic return to the days when movies flickered on theater screens. To learn more, The A.V. Club paid a visit to the projection booth of Chicago’s storied Music Box…

Netflix’s most famous wacky family is set to come back soon, but any subscribers hungry for something with a bit more horror should be happy to know that the streaming service has just renewed zombie comedy Santa Clarita Diet for a third season.

Much of the prerelease hype around this season of Westworld had to do with—well, everything that wasn’t Westworld. Last season’s finale showed a glimpse of Shogun World, and some of the early trailers for this season touted real-world settings (that may have also just been Futureworld). There’s also Roman World, and…

If you’ve eaten in restaurants abroad, you know that you usually have to swipe your credit card via a hand-held terminal that a server brings to your table. It can be a bit strange for those used to the American system, but it’s worth it to ask questions when you’re confused, apparently: Munchies reports a Russian…

When Lifetime sets its sights on someone, it’s pretty clear where public opinion of them has gone. Either you’re a big celebrity with shocking secrets that need to be exposed in a fun way, or you’re a famously bad person with shocking secrets that need to be exposed in a harrowing way. According to The…

If you’ve taken The A.V. Club’s advice and started watching Brockmire (and, again, if you didn’t, why not?), then you know this week’s episode of the IFC comedy stands to set up a showdown between comeback kid Jim Brockmire (Hank Azaria) and his primary competition for a shot at the big leagues: A likeable…

Americans of a certain age, for whom The Day After conjures terrifying images of nuclear apocalypse (thanks to a 1983 TV-movie of that title), can rest easy. Nothing remotely momentous ever happens in the films of Korean director Hong Sang-soo, and The Day After—one of three features he premiered last year, arriving…

Ex-competitve eater Patrick “Deep Dish” Bertoletti has already shown us how to tear through a plate of chicken wings. Now, in his ongoing quest to make his parents proud, Bertoletti teaches us how to drink a gallon of chocolate milk in 30 seconds. The result is equal parts impressive and nauseating.

If the Avengers are the superhero version of work friends, then facing down an intergalactic villain like Thanos is the ultimate team-building exercise.

The world’s most expensive costume party was held in New York City last night, as musicians, actors, models, and assorted rich, skinny people gathered at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art by invitation of Anna Wintour and Vogue magazine for the annual Met Gala. This year, attendees placed their bets on Pope Francis’…

Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull very nearly shares a birthday with cinema itself: The play had its world premiere on October 17, 1896, about a year after the Lumière brothers publicly showed some of the very first motion pictures ever made. Yet there’s never been a definitive cinematic adaptation, nor even a very notable…

The name of Studio Ghibli co-founder, Hayao Miyazaki, is constantly brought up by comic creators when they need a shorthand for describing a specific blend of spectacle and emotion in their work, but the comparison is appropriate in the case of the new Image Comics series, Isola. Co-written by Brenden Fletcher and…

Wil Wheaton is part of a select group of people who managed to emerge from childhood stardom relatively unscathed.

Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb is both one of Stanley Kubrick’s most terrifying films and, simultaneously, his absolute funniest.

Hari Kondabolu’s Netflix special Warn Your Relatives brims with the kind of incisive political comedy one can expect from Kondabolu, the star, creator, and executive director of the pop culture documentary The Problem With Apu.

A huge Xbox digital game sale, a $100 Instant Pot Ultra, smart light bulbs, and more are all part of the best deals of the day.

There’s always too much good TV to keep up with, but in a packed spring—The Americans, Westworld, The Terror, Legion, sigh—Atlanta’s second season has felt like uniquely essential viewing. Comedies go “dark” all the time, but few manage to delve all the way into horror, as Donald Glover’s has, while still retaining…

On The Tonight Show to promote his upcoming role as the scariest person in HBO’s adaptation of Fahrenheit 451, scariest person in any room Michael Shannon was actually sort of adorable.
