Twenty-five years and four films later, Hollywood is still trying to recapture the magic of the original Jurassic Park. The latest effort, Fallen Kingdom, the follow-up to 2015's Jurassic World, comes courtesy of director J.A. Bayona, who, to his credit, delivers more memorable images than his predecessor. But can his…

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.

It was impossible not to think about what’s happening to immigrants at our country’s southern border when watching this week’s episode of The Handmaid’s Tale. June and her daughter, Hannah, share an all-too-brief reunion that ends with the two ripped apart all over again. It’d be a difficult scene to watch under…

In a way, The Catcher Was A Spy is the perfect star vehicle for Paul Rudd, who built his career on playing (and parodying) the kind of smarmy guy who can convince anyone of anything with a flash of his perfect teeth. That’s also one of the key assets pro baseball player-turned-secret agent Moe Berg (Rudd) brought to…

Based on the biographical book of the same name, The Catcher Was a Spy tells the story of Major League Baseball veteran Moe Berg who joined the Office of Strategic Services as a spy in the Second World War. At the premiere of the film, we spoke with director Ben Lewin about his interest in the project, and his love of…

Reader, take a break from the shrieking hellscape of cruelty, humiliation, and misery that is our world and instead watch this video of a lax bro breaking into the world’s largest treehouse, a onetime tourist attraction that authorities ruled unsafe for public visitation because just fucking look at this thing. Look…

When I was but a wee journalism student in college—slaving away long nights at the campus’ daily paper and suffering shitty unpaid internships—I dreamed of the important, impactful reporting I would one day accomplish as a real reporter. Here, friends, is payoff for all that sweat and those tears: I ate all the…

This post discusses plot points of The Handmaid’s Tale episode “The Last Ceremony.”

Like most of the TV shows helmed by Michael Schur, the joke-per-minute ratio on The Good Place is absurdly high. That makes it all the more impressive that, as reported by IndieWire, Schur was recently able to pinpoint his favorite joke from the entire second season, which evolved from a reference only he and the crew…

A shirtless Nick Cave, his bad seeds swaddled in a loincloth, straddling a bucking stallion as he hoists a flaming torch could soon pop up somewhere besides the deepest recesses of your subconscious, unbidden but surprisingly not unwelcome, whenever you listen to “Stagger Lee.” The Guardian reports that this graven…

Werner Herzog is an endlessly fascinating filmmaker, having pivoted from helming some of film’s most daring productions to exploring our world with vital documentaries about cave paintings, grizzlies, and the internet. It’s not just Herzog’s boundless curiosity that enraptures audiences, but also the ways in which his…

We love all the Queer Eye guys, including Antoni Porowski, even though his recipes aren’t exactly groundbreaking and his love for the avocado borders on obsessive. The Netflix reboot of the classic series is going gangbusters, with the recently dropped second season an improvement on the already-impressive first one.…

There’s no shortage of reinterpretations of Romeo And Juliet—William Shakespeare’s version was itself a new take on an already established story—but few have the style, energy, and imagination of The New World, a new Image Comics series from writer Aleš Kot, artist Tradd Moore, colorist Heather Moore, letterer Clayton…

If you like XCOM, and you like Mario, the best thing you’ll buy today is Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, which I’ve been playing pretty much nonstop for the last week. It’s just $30 digitally right now, so buy it today, and you’ll be ready for the Donkey Kong DLC when it comes out next week.

Trevor Noah’s time as host of The Daily Show has felt distinctly different from Jon Stewart’s for many reasons. One of which is the fact that Noah, as someone born and raised in South Africa, approaches the problems in America from an outsider’s perspective, calling us on our bullshit with his signature incredulity.…

Koko, the western lowland gorilla who changed humanity’s understanding of animal communication with her mastery of American Sign Language, has died. In a statement, the research center where Koko lived for most of her life says, “The Gorilla Foundation is sad to announce the passing of our beloved Koko. Her impact has…

Everyone has a Mario Kart character they consider “the best.” With all the fervor of a kid on a playground, explaining why their Spider-Man toy can totally whip a friend’s Batman toy’s ass, even grown adults will call on every argument in the book to defend their choice of squealing go-kart cartoon.

Hey, listen: The Deluxe edition of the Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia may be one of the coolest looking books ever made, and Amazon’s dropped the price down to an all-time low $48 today, from its usual $60+. That means you won’t have to spend as much time cutting grass and breaking pots to afford it.

Attention, combat boot-wearing ‘90s teens: The hour of your revival is at hand. As Variety reports, MTV Studios is launching a revival of Daria for the even sicker, sadder world of 2018.
