[Note: As part of a new conservation effort aimed toward preserving the internet’s increasingly overworked supply of stock Alien jokes, this Newswire will attempt to refrain from using any variants on “Game over, man,” “They mostly come at night,” and any speculation on what people can or cannot hear you do in space.…

Talking is not a professional wrestler’s first priority, but doing it well can certainly help. After all, it most certainly wasn’t Hulk Hogan’s in-ring technique that made him a star, and it’s no stretch to say that more people remember the promos of Dusty Rhodes, The Rock, and Ric Flair more than they do their move…

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has combined the DNA of a velociraptor with the DNA of a movie that makes a ton of fucking money, and the results are clear.

Not content with just being hilarious in live-action projects, Nick Offerman has a lot of love for voice acting in animation. Offerman’s dulcet tones have shown up in The Lego Movie as Metal Beard, Gravity Falls as Agent Powers, and Bob’s Burgers as weed dealer Cooper and Bob Sr.’s friend and confidant Pete. Today, he…

It’s July. It’s too damn hot outside. You already blasted through Glow and Westworld and you need some good car television in your life. Who can you turn to but Jerry Seinfeld, whose latest season of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee drops on Netflix today?

“Nothing proves the summer TV landscape has shifted quite like debuting some Emmy bait in the wake of Independence Day. And Sharp Objects, the HBO adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s best-selling novel of the same name, proves itself an early contender for next year’s awards. Showrunner Marti Noxon deftly interprets and…

Fans of not getting violently assaulted can all breathe a little easier today, as it appears Chris Brown has again been arrested. And yes, the actual imprisonment may not have lasted long, but that’s at least a few hours he’s not loose on the streets, throwing punches and getting into standoffs with SWAT teams. Small…

He’s been Ghost Rider. He’s been Big Daddy. He’s been Superman (after a failed earlier attempt). And now, purchaser of castles and fine portrayer of going bananas Nicolas Cage can add another superhero to his roster of costumed vigilantes: Spider-Man. Or, rather, a somewhat unusual version of the web-crawler.

It’s hard to remember a time before “Seven Nation Army” was co-opted by sports crowds, its instantly recognizable melody transformed into an all-purpose stadium chant. But, 15 years ago, it was just the very good, enormously catchy lead single from The White Stripes’ fourth album, Elephant. The only drunks singing…

In news we’re sure will be met with the levels of dignity and restraint that come with the addition of any actress to the Star Wars franchise, Variety reports that Keri Russell has joined the cast of Star Wars: Episode IX. The nature of Russell’s role is, of course, unknown, but Variety says that the part “calls for…

Earlier this week, we told you about Roe V. Wade, an attempt to capitalize on the frenzied anti-choice myopia that drives a certain section of the American electorate from writer/director/producer Nick Loeb, best known for his minor roles in disposable B-movies like “low-rent Heat clone” Den Of Thieves. Just kidding:…

Welcome back to AVQ&A, where we throw out a question for discussion among the staff and readers. Consider this a prompt to compare notes on your interface with pop culture, to reveal your embarrassing tastes and experiences, and to ponder how our diverse lives all led us to convene here together. Got a question you’d…

Visitors to the Art Of Banksy exhibit in Toronto this week were treated to a little surprise courtesy of a local artist, who—much like Banksy did in 2005—ducked the museum’s security forces and hung a homemade print on the wall. Though, unlike Banksy, this artist isn’t remaining anonymous and quickly took…

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 makes his…

It is generally not worth listening to anything that our garbage president says, because his brain is full of worms and the occasional thoughts that said brain produces are forced to travel in a little loop in his mind, being expressed in increasingly long sentences that degenerate over time, becoming—and this is…

Last weekend, you may have seen a number of comedians online paying their respects to Sean Rouse, the 43-year-old Houston-based comedian who died on June 29th after suffering a stroke and a heart attack. Despite his years in the business, Rouse’s name is likely unfamiliar to most, even self-professed comedy nerds. But…

In this week’s notable releases, Byen finds nü-disco fixture Bjørn Torske blending more ambient textures into his playful sound, while Chicago footwork pioneer RP Boo gets melancholy, and NYC art-rockers Bodega debut with the lyrically stellar but musically weak Endless Scroll.

Wolverine’s body is gone, and heroes around the Marvel Universe have teamed up to find it in the Hunt For Wolverine miniseries. The best of these four books is Hunt For Wolverine: The Adamantium Agenda, written by Tom Taylor with art by R.B. Silva, inker Adriano Di Benedetto, and colorist Guru-eFX. Tom Taylor’s run on …

Few artists are interested in articulating the meanings of their works. To paraphrase David Lynch, many ideas manifest onscreen because they couldn’t be articulated in words. Still, that hasn’t stopped the masses from hounding the likes of Lynch for clear-cut explanations, an experience to which enigmatic filmmaker…

Elvis Costello is apologizing to fans after canceling the remaining dates on his European tour, following surgery to remove what the singer-songwriter calls a “very aggressive cancerous malignancy.” It’s not as bad as it sounds, though, as Costello says in a statement on his website,“six weeks ago my specialist called…

Jody Hill’s comedies of testosterone-fueled burnout are better suited to TV. Still, the co-creator of HBO’s Vice Principals and Eastbound & Down attempts an unassuming return to film (okay, Netflix) with The Legacy Of A Whitetail Deer Hunter, his first feature since the misanthropic Observe And Report. Familiar…

When 2015’s Ant-Man arrived in theaters after a notoriously tumultuous production process, there was a lot of speculation about which elements of the superhero heist film came from original helmer Edgar Wright and which came from his replacement, Peyton Reed. Although many automatically credited Wright with the film’s…

You won’t have to empty your Gringotts vault to afford this 8-film Harry Potter Blu-ray collection. It’s not the very cheapest we’ve seen, but $45 is the best deal since last year’s holiday shopping season. So, that means you’ll pay under $6.50 per movie, no magic required.

Every Friday, A.V. Club staffers kick off our weekly open thread for the discussion of gaming plans and recent gaming glories, but of course, the real action is down in the comments, where we invite you to answer our eternal question: What Are You Playing This Weekend?

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Friday, July 6, and Saturday, July 7. All times are Eastern.
