The U.S. government currently classifies marijuana as a “Schedule 1" drug, or a “drug with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse,” which makes researching the benefits of cannabis medicine in the U.S. incredibly difficult. (For reference, other “Schedule 1" drugs include heroin, LSD, and…

There’s no artist so unconventional that a highly conventional biopic can’t be made about them. As its title suggests, Rodin takes as its subject the famous French sculptor, considered by many to have ushered his medium of choice into the modern era, breaking the “rules” almost by accident, reshaping the art form in…

Last week, we reported that Sesame Workshop—the company that produces Sesame Street—had filed a lawsuit against Melissa McCarthy’s raunchy puppet movie The Happytime Murders over its tagline, “No sesame, all street.” The family-friendly puppet people were worried that the R-rated movie’s prolonged gags about puppet…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases or premieres, or occasionally our own inscrutable whims. This week, as the galaxy’s most popular smuggler returns to the big screen in Solo: A Star Wars Story, we’re taking a look at some of our favorite movies about charismatic crooks and cons. 

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 the internet.

As part of the promotion for Stephen Malkmus’ new album with his band the Jicks, Spin decided to set up a phone call between the former Pavement frontman and comedian, movie reviewer, and fellow musician Tim Heidecker. Why? Because why the hell not. Well, actually, it’s because the two are apparently pretty big fans…

Two pieces of vintage Arrested Development dialogue came to mind while I was watching “An Old Start.” Well, that’s not exactly true, because a ton of lines from the old days drift through my head during every new episode of Arrested Development, thanks to the show’s ever-thickening web of callbacks and allusions. But…

On last night’s Full Frontal, host Samantha Bee talked about the Trump administration’s habit of separating undocumented immigrant children from their parents when they cross the border, comparing that story to a fairly tone-deaf photo that Ivanka Trump posted over the weekend of her holding her young child. It was…

Based on a true story, Bart Layton’s American Animals follows four young friends (American Horror Story’s Evan Peters, Dunkirk’s Barry Keoghan, Glee’s Blake Jenner, Jared Abrahamson) who make an ill-conceived attempt to steal millions from Transylvania University, preoccupied with their value in the world, and desire…

Working at a website is wild and confusing, especially for anyone who doesn’t work at a website and occasionally has to interact with other people face-to-face. To try and demystify the fast-paced worlds of internet publishing and movie criticism, A.V. Club film editor A.A. Dowd has stopped by Reddit for an AMA. Dowd…

Superbad was a pretty big hit upon its release, but, even then, film buffs would likely have been surprised by just how much Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s raunchy comedy would continue to resonate for both older and younger audiences more than a decade later. Sure, it’s funny, oddly wholesome, and filled with…

In a statement accompanying the announcement of her new album Hell-On, Neko Case wrote, “I don’t have a pretty voice.” And sure, maybe “pretty,” a word that implies a certain demure delicacy, doesn’t quite apply. Case’s voice is sturdy. It stands solidly, on its own two legs. Even when she was just starting out, her…

The news about a remake of dark comic book movie The Crow first popped up a decade ago, though there wasn’t any real movement on it until two years later when original Crow producer Edward Pressman teased that he was trying to get a “major actor” for the title role and that filming would begin later that year. That…

The next Assassin’s Creed is called Odyssey and will take place in ancient Greece, according to a new report from the French site JeuxVideoLive, which adds that Odyssey is a sequel to last year’s Assassin’s Creed Origins. Kotaku can confirm this report.

Some sad news for those who, like us, thought the reborn Top Gear was really hitting its stride lately: Former Friends star Matt LeBlanc, who has been a presenter since 2016, is leaving the show after its next season.

Anyone who has an above-average familiarity with both Rick And Morty and series co-creator Dan Harmon should be able to recognize that there’s a lot of Harmon in Rick, the show’s mad-ish scientist who prefers to live the most interesting life he can rather than slowing things down to the pace of “normal” people. For…

What Are You Listening To? is a weekly run-down of what A.V. Club staffers are streaming. Listen to these songs and more on our Spotify playlist, updated weekly with new stuff.

Google is no longer content to be one of the most successful corporations in world history. It isn’t enough, anymore, that they’ve functionally replaced the term “internet search” with its own name as a common verb. No, Google also wants to rub your hometown pride in the dirt by releasing information displaying…

Snoop Dogg paid homage to his favorite beverage 25 years ago with “Gin And Juice,” the second single off of his debut album, 1993’s Doggiestyle. A few days ago, he topped even that by breaking the world’s record for the largest gin and juice ever made: some 132 gallons.

Earlier this year, we reported that Call Me By Your Name star Timothée Chalamet had signed on to star as Henry V in new Netflix film The King, an historical drama that would see the actor assuming the English throne. It seems the streaming service must have demanded even more handsome brooding—and is going to get it.

[Note: This post discusses plot points for the series finale of The Americans.]

It’s only natural for parents to want to keep up on their children’s lives through daily scanning of social media. What better way to reassure yourself that your precious loved ones are doing alright (without having to actually call them) than by clicking “like” on a shot of them at Arby’s, or whatever? Especially if…

Let’s just get this out of the way: The following list in no way represents which Star Wars movie is objectively the best or which one is your favorite. It is simply a list of all theatrically released Star Wars movies (with the exception of Solo), ranked by how much screen time the female characters in each film get.…

Sarai Walker’s Dietland is a viciously funny novel that deftly balances its skewering of the patriarchy with a powerful message of self-acceptance. And who better to bring the radical self-love and revenge killings for the small screen than Buffy The Vampire Slayer writer-producer Marti Noxon? In the new AMC drama…

The Muppets feel as interwoven with pop culture as Star Wars, Saturday Night Live, and The Simpsons. The legacy of The Muppet Show, Muppet Babies, Sesame Street, and the gang’s numerous movies—both classic and modern—continue to ripple throughout culture. What’s wild, however, is that the wide-ranging franchise would…
