According to Variety, Netflix has decided to continue bolstering its collection of original movies with a very expensive action film with some reliable action movie people on board. The movie, Six Underground, will be directed by Michael Bay and will star Ryan Reynolds, with the script coming from Deadpool and …

A bit of audience etiquette and extremely elemental music theory: Do not clap on the one and three. If you’re in an audience and people start clapping, take a moment to briefly count each beat, and if everyone is clapping on the first and third, do not join them. Their intentions are good, but it’s stultifying to the…

As much as we may think we understand nature—especially after the enriching process of watching hours of Planet Earth on a hungover Sunday morning—it is always capable of surprising us. Take, for instance, a video of two majestic lynx, resplendent, elusive predators that they are, standing on the side of the road and…

Just when you thought it was safe to go into a public park or a hall of fame, another bizarre approximation of a famous person’s face has been cast in bronze. Curse you, copper! Why must your alloys torment us by making our famous people look like unrecognizable monsters? Following what happened to Lucille Ball, Kurt…

The great joy of reading Soft X-Ray/Mindhunters (Koyama Press) is in not really knowing what’s going on. Characters appear, and you can follow them easily, but what exactly they’re doing and what its significance is cannot easily be discerned. This is in large part due to how the author, A. Degen, structures his book.…

UnREAL, a dramatization of the behind-the-scenes machinations of a Bachelor-like reality show, had a stellar, Peabody Award-winning first season—and has been trying to get that mojo back ever since. After a decidedly conflicted season two, and a better, but not much better season three, The Hollywood Reporter announced today

At this point, most of the charging gear you purchase should probably have USB-C Power Delivery built in, and two of Anker’s most popular and powerful chargers are on sale this week.

The autobiographical childhood reminiscence, while naturally appealing to fledgling filmmakers in search of material (“Write what you know,” etc.), can be tricky to pull off. Unless your formative years were unusually eventful—spent fashioning a playground from the rubble of buildings bombed in the Blitz, for…

Today on Twitter, the official page for Wyatt Cenac’s HBO series Problem Areas announced that the show will be getting a second season, solving a pressing issue that has been facing everyone who enjoys the Daily Show veteran’s new project but was concerned about running out of thoughtful, informational, and funny TV…

No one should be blown away by the fact that the massively viral music video for “This Is America” and the Emmy Award-winning TV show Atlanta have a lot in common. After all, they share a star, Donald Glover, and a director, Hiro Murai. But, as seen in this new video from YouTuber Thomas Flight, these pieces of media…

Neil Cicierega writes songs, makes video games, and routinely epitomizes everything wonderful and baffling about what the youngs think is funny these days. His latest effort is a straight-faced video in which he shares the official nightmare of each state in the U.S.A., and, refreshingly, none of them involve the…

Games are often left unfinished. Sometimes they’re too difficult, too vast, or too repetitive to see all the way through to the closing credits. To The Bitter End is our look at those endings that are worth fighting for—or at least worth reading about.

Sure, carrying on the legacy of the Rocky franchise and playing the charismatic villain in one of the most buzzed-about superhero movies in ages has probably been fun (and also extremely lucrative). But Naruto superfan Michael B. Jordan’s career didn’t truly take off until yesterday, when The Hollywood Reporter broke the news

Five years since Arrested Development made its improbable comeback—thanks to Netflix’s then-nascent foray into original content—the verdict on its fourth season, its mere existence miraculous, is a shrug. When Netflix announced Arrested Development as part of its first slate of original content back in 2011—which…

Paul Schrader’s role in crafting the transformative cinema of the 1970s and perpetuating its influence can’t be understated. As a writer, Schrader collaborated with Martin Scorsese on Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and The Last Temptation of Christ, and his directing credits—Blue Collar, Hardcore, Mishima: A Life In Four…

To kick off the third season of Good One, Vulture’s comedy podcast, guest John Mulaney gives listeners some much-needed insight into how the hell he became one of the best living stand-up comedians. Anyone who has watched his new special, Kid Gorgeous, will agree that Mulaney is in peak form right now, but his journey…

Will these noise-canceling Bluetooth over-ears sound as good as, say, Sony’s? I doubt it. But they’re significantly (significantly!) cheaper at just $40, and should still be able to turn down the volume on the background noise in your office, or on an airplane.

Tragedy and resilience have marked Tig Notaro’s stand-up career as much as her deadpan delivery and delightfully serpentine storytelling. In 2012, her breakout year, Notaro was reeling from the death of her mother, a breakup, and a cancer diagnosis when she took the Largo stage in Los Angeles. She introduced herself…

The warm, gargling roar of a Wookiee is one of the most beloved sounds in the Star Wars canon. Who didn’t grow up occasionally letting loose a fluttering, bear-like growl, and maybe have that one friend who was oddly good at it for reasons you didn’t want to pick into too much? On set, new Chewbacca actor Joonas…

Here’s something we’ve come to realize of late: There’s always a cameo. If you’re watching a modern big-budget movie, there’s a good chance that some A-lister is hiding on the fringes, whether it be Daniel Craig and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in The Last Jedi, Kevin Smith in The Force Awakens, Matt Damon in Thor: Ragnarok, …

One day soon the robots will replace us in all things, whether we like it or not. They’ll be doctors and engineers and even artists and, though we may still prefer human expressions of creativity in this gleaming future, it won’t matter because the robots will probably have us living in rows of vats, sucking out our…

The various mass-extinction events in pop music history are greatly overstated. Hair metal wasn’t wiped from the face of the earth the moment “Smells Like Teen Spirit” roared to life; the pre-rock ’n’ roll crooners eked out a decent living in casinos and on TV after the teenyboppers turned their attentions to guitars.…

On Monday’s Late Show, Stephen Colbert asked New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet if noted Times critic and foot-stamping baby-man Donald Trump has ever called him personally to complain about the paper’s coverage. “Yes,” responded Baquet succinctly, before admonishing the curious Colbert, “But I’m not going to…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, May 22. All times are Eastern.

It’s almost hard to remember now, but back in Supergirl’s first season we used to spend almost as much time with Kara Danvers as we did with Supergirl. Hell, I used to spend these reviews bemoaning the fact that the DEO half of the show wasn’t anywhere near as interesting as the CatCo stuff. Now…
