Yesterday, we reported that some motherfuckers hiding behind the banner of “Star Wars fans” had driven The Last Jedi’s Kelly Marie Tran off of Instagram with a months-long harassment campaign built on the traditional internet values of sexism and racism. (New Star Wars star Daisy Ridley was also driven off of…

This post discusses plot points of The Handmaid’s Tale episode “Women’s Work.”

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. With the Sundance sensation Hereditary opening in theaters this week, we’re taking a look at other movies that make our skin crawl.

Yesterday, fashion designer Kate Spade was found dead from an apparent suicide. Her family has released a statement saying they are “devastated” by her death, adding that they “loved Kate dearly and will miss her terribly.” Her death seems to have been particularly hard on her brother-in-law, actor David Spade, who…

At this point, just two days away from its wide release, the Hereditary hype train is at full steam. Our own A.A. Dowd, who saw it at Sundance, gave the film his stamp of approval, calling it “pure emotional terrorism.” It’s managed to disturb Edgar Wright, Barry Jenkins, Elijah Wood, and every A.V. Club staffer who…

Despite being kind of a mess, the first season of 13 Reasons Why was plenty addictive thanks to its mix of grounded high-school drama, out-there theatrics, and mystery. It was also hugely popular, so season two came along, continuing the “being a mess” part but without the addictive qualities. Apparently, the gambit…

There’s been plenty of advancements in CGI, but, unless you’re Luc Besson—Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets is underrated!—all that digital trickery will eventually guide audiences into the uncanny valley. As such, there’s no shortage of film buffs who, sometimes very loudly, yearn for the days of puppets…

During the filming of Arrested Development’s new season, Jeffrey Tambor had some sort of furious outburst on set that was directed at his on-screen wife Jessica Walter, an incident that the cast largely brushed under the rug until it rose back to the surface during a New York Times interview. In that chat, the show’s…

Simon Spurrier is not the kind of comics creator who shies away from ambitious ideas. The recently wrapped Angelic sported pastel flying monkeys in an apocalyptic post-humans world, and Cry Havoc mixed monsters and myths informed by modern technology placed over the backdrop of Western colonialist warfare. So it’s…

In January, Bruce Miller gave an interview about The Handmaid’s Tale to The Hollywood Reporter. In it, writer Josh Wigler asked him about how long he imagines the series could run.

The Last Jedi just came to Netflix, which makes it a fine time to revisit the finer points of the best Star Wars movie of the past, oh, two decades. The YouTube show Lessons From The Screenplay recently dug into the movie with its typically thorough, structural take, and the resulting video makes a great case for the…

To set the first season of MTV’s The Real World against its latest iterations, which include subtitles like Ex-Plosion and Bad Blood, is like looking at a photo of a once-great metropolis while standing in its bombed-out, rat-strewn ruins. It’s no stretch to say that what was a once a novel look at the collision of…

A Star Is Born for the third time in the new trailer for Bradley Cooper’s remake of the classic showbiz drama, starring Lady Gaga in the role previously inhabited by Judy Garland in the 1954 original and Barbra Streisand in the 1976 remake. The plot of this one looks like it’ll hew closely to the rock ‘n’ roll angle…

In the late ‘90s, audiences were introduced to Jerri Blank, a 46-year-old ex-drug addict, ex-prostitute who was returning to high school to finally earn a degree and maybe learn a few lessons along the way. Of course, anyone who watched the three seasons of Strangers With Candy knows Jerri never learned a thing, or,…

In the new comedy All Square, Michael Kelly plays a bookie who befriends a former high school classmate’s son and starts taking bets on his little league games. At the premiere of the film, we asked Kelly and his co-stars—Yeardley Smith, Tom Everett Scott, and Isiah Whitlock Jr.—if they’d make bets on the ending of…

You do not need us to tell you that Twitter is bad. Nor do you need us to tell you that video games are, by and large, good. Both are compulsive time-sucks, one giving us naught but tension and a vague sense of apocalyptic introversion and the other one giving us big, interesting places to explore and mechanized…

Johnny Knoxville, best known as Jackass’s jackass-in-chief, is getting older. At 47, he’s still out there, knocking himself around for our amusement, but the wisdom of age has also prompted in Knoxville a nostalgic streak—like this video in which the actor/stuntman/human crash test dummy looks back over decades of the…

Donald Glover ended up joining another fictional universe, but the Miles Morales movie nearly a decade in the making finally arrives in theaters this December, albeit in animated form. A new trailer for Sony’s Into The Spider-Verse dropped earlier this morning, showcasing the film’s dynamic, comic book-influenced…

eBay’s back at it again today with another sitewide sale, this time with a few twists.

On a typical Wednesday night in the satirical techno-future of 2028, while the rest of Los Angeles riots over the price of water, business continues as usual at the Hotel Artemis, a members-only underground hospital (or “darkroom,” in the movie’s cyberpunk parlance) with grungy, century-old Art Deco décor. The…

“Yesterday’s history. Tomorrow’s the future. Tonight’s the party.” Can’t Hardly Wait premiered in theaters 20 years ago next week with that tagline, although it could be applied to a number of similar movies about kids having one, momentous day that sets the course for the rest of their lives. In that 1998 film, those…
