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.

Rachel Bloom fans know that the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star has been a reliably delightful part of the Tony Awards since last year, but during Sunday’s broadcast of the 2018 ceremony, Neil Patrick Harris got on Twitter to ask who she was and why they kept showing her. Bloom responded with a devastating beatdown,…

It would be hard for someone to exist in 2018 and not already know why Tiffany Haddish is such a superstar, but on the off-chance anyone out there has just emerged from a cave, The Hollywood Reporter just posted an interview with Haddish—conducted during a vodka-fueled flight from San Francisco to New York—that is a…

Cameron Esposito’s Rape Jokes was made for times like these—the comedian and Take My Wife creator said as much in a press release announcing the new special earlier this week. When Esposito set out to start a discussion on consent and sexual assault in the midst of the #MeToo movement, she knew a five-minute stand-up…

It’s bad enough knowing that your male colleagues are probably making more money than you for doing the exact same work. But if you’re a successful pop-rock band, and you’ve got an agent whose entire job is getting you gigs and negotiating your pay for them, and you’re still making a fraction of what the guys are…

We previously wrote on how The Wire creator David Simon’s recent Twitter suspension is indicative of a larger trend of Twitter having its priorities all wrong. Instead of policing the platform’s thriving bounty of actual death threats and race- and gender-motivated harassment, CEO Jack Dorsey and his team are instead…

This post discusses details of Legion’s second-season finale, “Chapter 19.”

In times of trouble, it’s wise to think strategically. Redundancies are helpful. So is careful image management. The wise look for opportunities to tilt the balance of power, to take a calculated risk, to change the narrative. Moving deliberately is advisable. Acting impulsively often is not. But sometimes, the…

A handful of people really hate what Disney has been doing with Star Wars, partially for racist and sexist reasons, but only the most dedicated hater of all things good and pure could think that George Lucas’ original vision for post-Return Of The Jedi sequels would’ve been better. We’ve heard bits and pieces of what…

Yesterday, we were all given front-row seats to the diplomatic strategy of Donald J. Trump, which, of course, took the form of a poorly edited faux-movie trailer meant to flatter and impress a known dictator. As the trailer made the rounds online, people began to reach out to “Destiny Pictures,” the production company…

As marketing campaigns go, it looks like the “B” in IHOP’s recent switch to IHOB stood not for breakfast, but for bust. Or bomb. Turning the “International House Of Pancakes” into the “International House Of Burgers” not only seems anticlimactic, it also inspired some online shade from the chain’s competitors, like …

The trailer for Disney’s latest entry into its “if it ain’t broke, remake it” series of live-action redos, Dumbo, dropped earlier this morning, revealing the sad-faced lil’ guy whose tragic tale of maternal love will make viewers reach for their hankies come next March. It also reveals how much of an influence…

Here’s your weekly open thread. Thank you for making our site’s community vibrant, intelligent, and fun!

Your sense of calm is done. The relaxing break from the universe of The Conjuring was fun, but that peace is on the run, chased by the nightmarish one known as The Nun. It may or may not stun, but there’s no question this franchise has won, as American audiences refuse to shun. Um....burgers need a bun?

Remember the ’90s? Sure you do. You must. Even if you were born in 2001, you still remember the ’90s, because we’re constantly being asked to remember the ’90s. There are Saved By The Bell pop-ups, scratch-and-sniff stamps, and a Fuller House. It was announced this week that an Arachnophobia remake is in the works.…

The competition in front of the camera might be fierce, but the outcome behind the scenes for RuPaul’s Drag Race was never really in question: The drag reality competition will be back for another season next year, because the channel that airs it isn’t stupid. Variety reports the reality competition series, hosted by…

Rick and Morty fans can pick up the first two seasons on Blu-Ray for just 10 buck each, which is the lowest Amazon price we’ve ever seen. No special lab equipment required.

The public held its breath yesterday as news broke of the most momentous event in recent memory—one whose outcome would forever change our world. It had nothing to do with international diplomacy in Singapore, or the escalating trade war that could reshape North America’s economies. It was, instead, the story of a…

[Note: Spoilers for Wonder Woman—which came out last summer, and is currently streaming on HBO Go/Now as well as available for digital rental—within.]

In the beginning, there were no LGBTQ people in the movies—at least, not overtly so. A handful of provocative pre-Code examples aside, until the 1960s the only way to get a film featuring characters coded with stereotypically gay or lesbian traits past the professional moralists at the MPAA was to posit “sex…

For nine seasons (and 101 episodes) Adam Reed’s Archer has been a staple of TV comedy, introducing the world to the Danger Zone, “sploosh,” tactical turtlenecks, and all the phrasing jokes any one person could possibly take. (Which, uh… Phrasing.) For the last two years, though, it’s also been one of the most…

Introduced via a typically badass cool guy clip from the upcoming Superfly remake (where he plays lead Trevor Jackson’s mentor/martial arts sensei), Michael K. Williams charmed the hell out of fellow South Carolinian Stephen Colbert on Tuesday’s Late Show. Sharing his love of cooking fine Caribbean dishes (plus…

Without snooping, I came across texts between my wife, “Mary,” and a guy “Jeremy” of a very sexual nature. While I would be okay if she were doing this and I knew about it, this has been going on since before we met. (We’ve been together 10 years.) She says she has never met him in person (despite communicating with…
