Weezer isn’t letting up on the Toto tributes: The band has already given the 14-year-old people what they want by covering “Africa,” then performing the soft-rock track on Kimmel Live!. But it looks like bowing to the will of Twitter is working out for Rivers Cuomo et. al., as the cover scored Weezer’s first…

Loosely based on Boots Riley’s actual experiences working as telemarketer, Sorry To Bother You follows the unemployed Cash (Lakeith Stanfield), who, after getting a job as a telemarketer, quickly climbs the corporate ladder upon learning the secret to success on the phone: using a “white voice.” Riley, who spent the…

Babysitting can be hard, but it’s a lot harder when you’re asked to keep watch of a supervillain that sucks the life force out of others, becoming bigger, stronger, and gaining new abilities in the process. Green Arrow learns this the hard way in the current storyline of his ongoing series, teaming writer Mairghread…

From the outside, Tumblr looks like a mess. As a platform that has become the main hub for people who like fanart, fanfiction and talking about ships, Tumblr has gained a reputation for creators being driven away because of rampant harassment and abuse. From the inside, its users agree, but they don’t know where else…

Here’s something we can file under “comebacks we didn’t ask for”: Just weeks after a racist tweet led ABC to dump her, Roseanne Barr claims she’s fielding a shit-ton of offers to make her way back to the small screen.

Spend a few minutes looking through the IMDB credits for Harlan Ellison—the legendary science fiction writer and master of the cranky poisoned pen who died last week—and it doesn’t take long for hints of his frequently fractious relationship with film and television to leak through. Outside of his long and fruitful…

The worst thing that ever happened to Drake was becoming a great rapper. He was always good—funny, direct, emotive—but on his first few releases anytime the bars weren’t coming he’d skip his voice up into some melancholy melody, shape-shifting Boi-1da’s airy, ambient beat into an R&B track. But as he became an…

The top two films at the domestic box office this weekend should come as no surprise. Just like last week, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is currently the No. 1 movie in America, adding $60 million to a worldwide haul that’s now only $67 million from crossing the celebrated $1 billion mark. And just like it did last…

In a year featuring multiple cinematic depictions of Oakland, California (including the flashbacks from Black Panther and the entirety of the upcoming Blindspotting), it’s hard to imagine one as grabby or arresting as the Oakland of Boots Riley’s Sorry To Bother You. Though it uses real locations from the city,…

Displaying an unwavering commitment to buffed nails and buff surfers alike, TNT has given season-three renewals to Claws and Animal Kingdom.

Some bands suffice on music alone, but others realize that success is dependent on much more than a few guitars, a drum kit, and some singers. Remember I’m From Barcelona? They were a solid Swedish indie outfit that wouldn’t have made much of an impact if not for the fact that they always had somewhere between 16 and…

The Cinepocalypse film festival descended once more upon Chicago’s Music Box Theatre this past week, providing seven straight days of movie madness, ranging from grisly horror to gonzo action to outrageous camp. While we weren’t able to see every film that screened during the festival—even die-hard genre fans…

Some of the most memorable and arresting moments from all of Peter Jackson’s Lord Of The Rings trilogy center around the Nazgûl, the nine Ringwraiths who endlessly pursue our heroes on behalf of their master Sauron. That’s especially impressive considering the Nazgûl are really only the primary antagonists for the…

Jody Hill and Danny McBride have a handful of hilarious collaborations under their belt. First cam the off-kilter martial arts movie The Foot Fist Way, which was followed up with a pair of HBO comedies—Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals. Now, the pair teamed up with Josh Brolin for the Netflix comedy, The Legacy Of…

As satisfying as it may have been to see disgraced ex-movie mogul Harvey Weinstein taking a handcuffed perp walk shortly before he was formally charged with rape back in May, there’s also the fact that he posted bail with a $1 million cashier’s check afterwards. As we all should know by now, the wealthy and powerful…

Comedy Central’s Nathan For You is one of the best series on TV, but articulating that to the uninitiated is tough. On its surface, the show, which finds lonely “business consultant” Nathan Fielder conjuring up elaborate marketing stunts for small businesses, can feel callous and cruel, as if he’s punking them or…

Without getting too deeply into it, the ending of HBO’s limited series The Young Pope left the fate of Lenny Belardo (Jude Law), the sunglasses-wearing, chain-smoking youthful American pontiff of the title, uncertain. And now, in an intriguing development, there’s a New Pope in town for director Paolo Sorrentino’s…

The condemned: Scorched Earth (2018)

Sorry: Although the headline above may have briefly given you hope that you were somehow flung back into the early ‘90s as you slept, it’s still 2018. (C’mon, you’re reading this on the internet.) And the house party the Smashing Pumpkins played in Studio City, California last Thursday was a decidedly more corporate…

Folk tales speak of the rarest of wedding day blessings—a surprise visit from famous Saturday Night Live alumni. Referenced in the continuing tradition of throwing rice, which has long been known to attract this elusive species, every couple dreams that they may be graced with the unexpected appearance of a curious…

John Oliver took a nice, relaxing detour away from the weekly grind of comically chronicling the walking genetic nightmare that is the Trump family to have some fun with pig-Hitler. And, no, that wasn’t the new, in-retrospect ill-advised hashtag Last Week Tonight unveiled to really stick it to that Trump guy, but an…

Every month, a deluge of new books comes flooding out from big publishers, indie houses, and self-publishing platforms. So every month, The A.V. Club narrows down the endless options to five of the books we’re most excited about.

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Monday, July 2. All times are Eastern.

The parallels presented in Pose’s “Mother’s Day” create moving, layered moments of symmetry and juxtaposition. Much of the story centers Blanca, giving Mj Rodriguez more opportunities to showcase her vast range of skills as she delivers yet another stellar performance (at this point, it almost feels redundant to point…

For all its faults, when the Preacher source material was on, it was on, and the storyline the show is currently adapting is one of the comic’s highpoints; maybe the high point. It was a crucial moment in establishing Jesse’s character, in creating stakes going forward, and in showing us that for all its cynical…
