A lot of TV shows have been canceled over the past week or so, but Brooklyn Nine-Nine and (to a lesser extent) Last Man Standing have recently proven that a cancellation isn’t necessarily the end of a TV series. With those two shows having already been saved, fans of Syfy’s The Expanse are trying to kickstart a…

It’s 3 p.m.! Let The A.V. Club briefly make use of the waning hours of your productivity with some pop culture ephemera pulled from the depths of YouTube.

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases or premieres, or occasionally our own inscrutable whims. The summer movie season is upon us, which means its time for a semi-annual tradition: singing the praises of the most unloved, underperforming, or simply forgotten summer blockbusters.

The return of Roseanne has been rocky, to say the least. The show and its newly right-leaning lead seem unrecognizable to both longtime fans and former writers, who are forced to sit and helplessly wonder where their champion of working-class women has gone. Well, the good people at Cracked have recently proposed a…

Cue The Alan Parsons Project and put on the bad CG journey through downtown Chicago, because here comes a documentary series on the ‘90s Chicago Bulls. The show, The Last Dance, comes from ESPN Films and Netflix, and a press release says it will “chronicle one of the greatest icons and most successful dynasties in…

Weren’t able to get tickets to the intimate club tour Liz Phair announced back in March? Well, short of driving to Kansas—there are still some tickets available for Phair’s show at the Wichita Riverfest on June 8—those hoping to see Phair this summer are out of luck: Her eight-date Girly-Sound To Guyville Tour sold…

Ian McEwan’s 2007 novella On Chesil Beach, about a young couple’s disastrous honeymoon in southern England circa 1962, presents a classic adaptation problem: The book runs less than 40,000 words, the prose largely examines the characters’ interiority, and the majority of the action takes place over the course of an…

While promoting the Taken-esque, vigilante action-thriller Harry Brown back in 2010, Emily Mortimer joined us for a Random Roles where she talked to us about Lars And The Real Girl, Transsiberian, and 30 Rock.

There’s a profane, adolescent energy to the Deadpool franchise, and the forthcoming sequel’s bizarre marketing campaign reflects that juvenile unpredictability. Over the past few weeks, star Ryan Reynolds has danced with Celine Dion, “spoiled” his own movie, and dressed up like a unicorn on South Korean TV, and now…

[The following contains spoilers for both Avengers: Infinity War and Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., so if you really care about the latter but somehow still haven’t seen the former, the basic information is all there in the headline.]

We’ll say this much for Roseanne Barr: She sure has gotten a lot of press for ABC’s revival of her eponymous sitcom. Whether that’s a good thing or a “stay up all night with severe heartburn” thing, however, depends on whether you believe that all press is good press.

The Paul brothers, YouTube stars Jake and Logan, have been among the worst people on the internet for some time now. There are, however, lots of awful people on the internet, from burger chains to honest-to-god Nazis to Mike Huckabee to the president. How, in the face of such Darwinian competition, can the Pauls stay…

Pondering the origins of the Batman universe’s Joker has proven to be a fruitful pastime, one that changes and evolves depending on which version of the character you’re exploring. There are a few stories out there—Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s The Killing Joke, for example, or Tim Burton’s Batman—as well as a…

Spoiler Space offers thoughts on, and a place to discuss, the plot points we can’t reveal in our official reviews. Fair warning: Major plot points for God Of War—from the ending to every revelation and tease—will be revealed below.

Last night, James Corden hosted both Zooey Deschanel and John Mulaney in a double interview, and the two guests were able to generate some unforced banter despite the intensity of the format. Deschanel gets in a good anecdote about being part of a creepy “youth pageant,” but Mulaney gets a lot of the best bits, saying…

Sponsored content has begun creeping its way into movie theaters, via a new phenomenon in which organizations commission world-class filmmakers to deliver their message, disguised as ordinary documentaries. Werner Herzog, it turned out, couldn’t be entirely tamed: His recent doc Lo And Behold, though ostensibly a…

When The A.V. Club put together an Inventory of George W. Bush-era political works that still hold up, we couldn’t have known just how applicable they would be in a Trump presidency. Likewise, when The Thermals released the career-best album The Body, The Blood, The Machine in 2006, they weren’t banking on their…

BlacKkKlansman (Grade: B), Spike Lee’s first entry in the Cannes competition lineup since 1991’s Jungle Fever, never outright mentions that it takes place in 1979. We can ballpark the year through context clues, like the ostentatiously dated fashion choices and the opportunity Lee takes to play around with the imagery…

Iron Man, being a superhero and all, is best known for saving lives. He’s notable for repelling alien invasions and punching out world-threatening bad guys. This is impressive and all, but let’s consider his actual best accomplishment: the superpower of getting dressed by having bits of high-tech metal plates fly onto…

The 20th anniversary of Seinfeld’s divisive finale has inspired no shortage of essays and analyses, with authors examining the show’s impact through any number of subjective means. Enter writer Andrew Thompson and designer Tri Vo, who instead sought to see what we could learn from the hard data. The duo scooped up all…

Tom Wolfe, a chronicler of the ‘60s counterculture who helped change the face of nonfiction writing as a leader in the New Journalism movement before turning to writing novels with the bestselling The Bonfire Of The Vanities, has died. His agent confirmed the news to The New York Times, saying Wolfe died yesterday in…
