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.

Fans of medical history and/or the McElroy family of podcasts are already familiar with Sawbones, the podcast where Justin “Houston’s Native Son” McElroy interrupts his wife, actual medical doctor Dr. Sydnee McElroy, as they explore the bizarre, misguided, sometimes totally disgusting history of how medical…

Two months after its debut, Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” remains a hot topic of discussion. At last night’s BET Awards, host Jamie Foxx invited Childish a.k.a Donald Glover up on stage, describing the Atlanta creator as a “singer, songwriter, philanthropist, movie star, overall badass. … A true artist.”

Comedian and musician Dave Hill spends his time occasionally guest starring on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, hosting WFMU’s The Goddamn Dave Hill Show, and hiding his face behind a thick layer of Marilyn Manson-esque paint for his black metal side project Witch Taint. We spoke to Hill about his life and the secret to…

If you even moderately pay attention to video games, you have probably seen—and wondered what the fuck is going on with—Waluigi. A gaunt, purple, idiotic-looking shadow of Luigi, you occasionally see him popping up in memes, or screaming his beloved catchphrase: “WAAAA!” The above video from Did You Know Gaming? is a…

Marvel really went out of its way to keep a lid on Avengers: Infinity War spoilers, including using misleading trailers, letting Thanos threaten Twitter users who might drop hints about the [REDACTED], and making Benedict Cumberbatch sign a contract to remain at Tom Holland’s side 24/7 for the next two years or so…

“Danny Don’t You Know,” the new video from 1980s schlock-rocking comedy band Ninja Sex Party, practically begs for viral fame: It stars Stranger Things’ Finn Wolfhard as the younger version of even-pornier-named frontman Danny Sexbang, himself the musical alter ego of Game Grumps cohost Dan Avidan. It features a cameo…

Westworld’s season-two finale was an unusually expansive one, relying not so much on cliffhangers or coy teases as a massive dilation of the show’s scope. The first season took its “robot cowboy theme park” concept remarkably seriously, and the second one explored the violent ends created by those violent delights.…

DC’s New Age of Heroes has been a frustrating initiative. It was promoted as an artist-driven line, but the majority of these series have lost their original artists within the first few chapters—including The Terrifics, which had Ivan Reis on board for one-and-a-half issues. Reis was never going to be a permanent…

This is it—the official announcement from Netflix that Gloria Estefan, who performs the updated One Day At A Time theme song, is joining the cast for season three. And here’s a more musical version of this news, straight from the Grammy winner and lead singer of the Miami Sound Machine herself:

[Warning: Key plot details for Avengers: Infinity War are discussed below.]

Is there anything more gauche than being late for the Purge? After all, we’ve all had that awkward experience of seeing someone wander into a legal crime party after all the good murders and tax evasions have been taken, and then having to just kind of uncomfortably mill about, occasionally pirating an episode of …

With one study recently estimating that as many as 180 million Americans are listening to online audio each month, podcasting as a form is indisputably on the rise in every way—a fact demonstrated by its inclusion, for the first time, in The A.V. Club’s “best of the year so far” coverage. As the sheer number of…

Brendan Dassey—the Wisconsin man whose 2007 conviction on charges of aiding his uncle Steven Avery in the rape and murder of photographer Teresa Halbach was featured in Netflix’s hit true-crime series Making A Murderer—has reached the end of the legal line. The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear Dassey’s case, as …

Back in 2015, Brian Huskey joined us for a Random Roles where he talked to us about playing Regular-Sized Rudy on Bob’s Burgers, and writing his first film with Matt Walsh, A Better You.

There is, of course, no one way to define how to “be a man.” But that hasn’t stopped American President Donald Trump from taking to Twitter, as is his wont, to opine on exactly how late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon should better express his masculinity.

The giddy, cathartic appeal of watching dinosaurs stomp all over humanity’s hubris remains as strong as ever, as Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom exceeded expectations with a dino-sized $150 million domestic debut. The film also demolished this week’s per-theater average like so many outhouses, making an average of…

Earlier this year, Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack released their sixth studio album as Wye Oak, the introspective, beautifully dense The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs. Just before its release, the duo cut an alternate take of standout “It Was Not Natural,” surrounded by a glut of analog gear in the Sound Lab at Moog’s…

[Note: As implied by the headline, this post discusses key plot details from the season two finale of Westworld.]

If you’ve already binged all of Netflix’s The Staircase and need a new dark and twisty story to consume, this New York Times bestseller might do the trick. The Woman in the Window is described as “a smart, sophisticated novel of psychological suspense that recalls the best of Hitchcock,” and the Kindle version is just…

Amazon makes sound bars, because of course they do, and their 2.1 channel, 31.5" model is down to an all-time low $62 right now. This bar’s integrated subwoofer won’t give you the kind of bass you’d expect from a dedicated subwoofer that sits on the floor, but it’s better than nothing, and makes this system ideal for…

The first half of 2018 has seen dozens of notable releases: Rachel Kushner’s follow-up to The Flamethrowers, Stephen King’s “It for the Trump era,” a much-buzzed-about debut from Tommy Orange; essay collections from heavyweights like Marilynne Robinson and Zadie Smith; short story collections from favorites John Edgar…

To commemorate 60 years of the Billboard Hot 100, Off The Charts revisits each year since it was established to spotlight songs and artists that didn’t make the cut, yet still made a significant impact. Years are chosen randomly and—to make it even harder on ourselves—rules for inclusion are that neither the songs nor…

On Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, John Oliver only spent a few minutes at the top talking about the never-ending racist clownshow that is the Trump administration (where “putting children in fucking cages” is yet another over-the-top evil milestone reached), to talk about Mexico. You know, America’s neighbor, trading…
