For many of us, Danny DeVito has been a stalwart, unshakeable presence in every phase of our lives; from reruns of Taxi, to roles in films like Matilda, Batman Returns, or Throw Momma From The Train, to his current multi-year run as the strangest, most vulgar presence on the wonderfully strange and vulgar It’s Always…

“You know usually when you’re talking about inflation, you guys, you probably notice, you know, is that a good thing or ... not a good thing?”

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.

Frank Fisher (Nick Offerman), the widowed protagonist of Hearts Beat Loud, dotes on his teenage daughter. Also, he possesses a very particular set of skills. Unfortunately for Frank, his skill set mostly involves retail music sales, which makes him reliant on the tiny handful of people—even in trendy Red Hook,…

Certain Star Wars fans (if that’s the word we’re going to use) were already on edge after The Force Awakens dared to introduce a female hero with Jedi abilities, but Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi seems to have unlocked a particularly disgusting and pathetic vein of hatred in the minds of some people who really hate to…

Anyone who has been on a comic convention floor in the past 20 years knows there are a lot of superhero fans who wish they could be Deadpool. Marvel gives them the opportunity to step into Wade Wilson’s shoes in You Are Deadpool, an interactive weekly miniseries that combines a choose-your-own-adventure story with a…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases or premieres, or occasionally our own inscrutable whims. With the Sundance sensation Hereditary opening in theaters this week, we’re taking a look at other movies that make our skin crawl.

The inaugural Onion Comedy & Arts Festival (or what would’ve been the fifth annual 26th Annual Comedy Festival, if you’re keeping track) arrived in Chicago last week, with thousands of fans packing auditoriums and clubs to see the likes of How Did This Get Made? (four shows!), David Cross, Hollywood Handbook, Bitch…

Robert Webb may be best known to American audiences as Peep Show’s man-boy Jeremy “Jez” Usborne, and if his new autobiographical book is to be believed, Webb’s own life has exhibited a fair bit of Jez’s selfishness and immaturity. How Not To Be A Boy: Rules For Being A Man uses his own boyhood, and later manhood, to…

The past year has been rocky for Joss Whedon, the man behind Buffy The Vampire Slayer and the director of the first two Avengers movies. His reshoots on Zack Snyder’s Justice League didn’t do much to improve the film (with disappointed fans pinning all of the blame on him), his proposed Batgirl movie completely fell…

The following contains spoilers for season two, episode seven of Westworld.

Comedian Dane Cook and The A.V. Club have had a contentious relationship over the years. We hate his comedy, and, well, he disingenuously invited us on a spa weekend. But, hey, that doesn’t mean we can’t acknowledge good work when it happens. He’s kinda great in Mr. Brooks, for instance, and, on Sunday, he posted…

Killing Eve is a breakout hit for BBC America, the kind of word-of-mouth success story that finds more and more people coming to a series simply because their friends are telling them it’s good. So it’s a relief to hear the news it’ll be on Hulu later this year, saving people the annoyance of illegally downloading it.

In You Should Be Watching, the staff of The A.V. Club advocates on behalf of the hundreds of TV shows you’re not watching but should.

After they upgrade their regular light bulbs, many Philips Hue owners’ first accessory purchase is the Hue LightStrip, a custom accent light that can stick under cabinets and furniture. But if you want to make the smart lighting leap all at once, you can get a four-bulb starter kit and the LightStrip for $200 today.

In the aftermath of an exposé of sexism at the highest levels of the beauty-pageant organization—a real shocker, that one—Miss America is in the midst of a feminist rebranding, even though the most feminist thing it could do at this point is pull contestants aside and let them know that there are ways of getting…

Sherlock Holmes is one of the greatest detectives in the literary canon, and he’s about to face off against one of the universe’s greatest terrors in A Study In Emerald, a new graphic novel adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s short story pitting Holmes and his trusty partner, John Watson, against H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu.…

LA-based comic Ian Karmel has spent the last few years writing alongside James Corden on CBS’ The Late Late Show, the 2017 and 2018 Grammys, and the 2016 Tony Awards. We sat down with the comedian to talk about writing for those award shows, and the challenge of writing late-night jokes in the Trump era.

In the current stable of late-night hosts, no one has been in the game longer than Conan O’Brien. That feels weird to say because, once upon a time, he was the sweaty, wide-eyed rookie in a field of veteran showmen. But after 25 years behind the desk at Late Night, The Tonight Show, and Conan on TBS—which will soon…

Laughter is somehow different now. Blame Trump, blame outrage culture, or blame the terrifying rise of public shaming, but rarely does a week go by that some public (or even not-so-public figure) makes a joke that ignites a flurry of angry tweets and thinkpieces. Does this response fall under the umbrella of the First…

In the newly released teaser for The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, the citizens of the Lego universe are having a hard time picking up the pieces—pun, as always, intended—in the aftermath of the cataclysmic event known as TAKOS Tuesday. Which, of course, means it’s time for a Mad Max parody, complete with its own…

The word on upcoming horror film Hereditary is that it’s one of the scariest movies in years. It’s making critics use descriptors like “traumatically terrifying.” It’s even freaking out Elijah Wood—and that guy spent years hanging out with Andy Serkis pretending to be a fantasy goblin in a mo-cap suit.

The Transformers franchise is currently in the spin-off phase of its evolution, and it transforms into the shape of a heartwarming, E.T.-esque tale of a girl and her giant alien robot in the trailer for Bumblebee. Where the last few Transformers films can be best described as a series of loud metallic clanking sounds,…

Here’s something I never thought I’d say: Thank god for Kickstarter stretch goals. At some point during the crowdfunding campaign for Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night, Koji Igarashi’s much-hyped return to the form he so thoroughly perfected with Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night and its Game Boy Advance successors,…
