Quentin Tarantino, as we all surely must know at this point, is a weird dude, and sometimes his weirdness expresses itself in questionable and occasionally even downright dangerous ways. But for our part, at least, the thought of the Oscar-winning director breaking down in tears at a reportedly really fucked-up movie…

Deadline reports today that AMC has found a replacement moderator for its upcoming Walking Dead panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, with former Community star Yvette Nicole Brown taking the space recently vacated by Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick. Hardwick stepped down from his regular moderating duties last month

Actors have an annoying habit of aging, which can cause problems when Hollywood decides to go back and make sequels to old movies. Luckily, the movie industry keeps churning out new actors who are younger and more popular, allowing studios to cast people as the never-before-mentioned son or daughter of an old movie…

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.

Tomorrow is the Fourth of July, the day when Americans briefly set aside their differences and come together to celebrate what a great nation this is to get sweaty, buzzed, and overfed in. It’s true that our union of uneasy cohabitation has perhaps never been more tested. There are marches in the streets. There are…

Movies with an explicit right-wing slant are almost uniformly terrible, wether it’s the God’s Not Dead series or Dinesh D’Souza’s latest feature-length adaptation of a thread from r/The_Donald, but a new movie about Roe v. Wade with a pro-life slant may just be the most terrible of them all. The movie—simply called …

Westworld got stuck dragging its boots a bit in season two, an unfortunate side-effect of the twisting timelines and various different factions that are all trying to get to the same place, but things did start to move at a decent clip once it got to the finale—to the extent that the post-credits stinger apparently…

We are being watched. Everyone from Ticketmaster to Spanish comedy club owners are mapping the contours of your mug using facial recognition technology.

Did the crushing cliffhanger of Avengers: Infinity War leave you anxious to find out what happens next? You’ll have to wait until next May, when the still-untitled fourth Avengers film hits theaters. In the meantime, there’s Ant-Man And The Wasp, a superhero digestif that finds Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), the…

Skyscraper looks like it’ll be a throwback to the action movies of our childhood, when all you needed was a charismatic star, some terrorists, and a single, dangerous location. This time, the charismatic star is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and the location is an absurdly tall skyscraper (hence the name) that is both on…

Ever since we received confirmation that Paramount is busy working on two separate Star Trek films, the fairly obvious assumption is that one of them is the much-ballyhooed, R-rated, Quentin Tarantino-directed installment of the franchise. And now we know that it won’t just be a one-off with some nobodies on the…

While the rest of us are still sort of sorting things out at work, perhaps texting friends and squaring things away before a blissful but weird mid-week holiday, it looks like Margarita Bear here decided to jump the gun and get things moving early.

In the early 2000s, Blink-182 was an inescapable fact of life. Their pop-punk singles dominated MTV, the radio, movies about high school kids trying to get laid, and the Discmans of 14 year-olds across the world.

Netflix is notoriously secretive when it comes to releasing viewership numbers, but we assume they’re huge, as Variety reports that the streaming service is now more popular not only than direct competitors like Hulu, but regular old TV as well.

With Ant-Man And The Wasp hitting theaters this summer, it was inevitable that Marvel would bring these two characters together in the comics, but Scott “Ant-Man” Lang and Nadia “The Wasp” Pym have a very different relationship than their big-screen counterparts. In fact, they don’t really have a relationship at all.…
