Matthew Rhys donned many disguises in his time on The Americans, including a really brief stint as a reporter (otherwise known as the greatest threat to democracy, if President “I Heart Russia” is to be believed).

If you’ve kept up with the twisty conspiracy series Mr. Robot, then you know these past two seasons gave us some flashbacks to how troubled hacker Elliot first started toying with the idea of his revolution.

Mission: Impossible—Fallout hits theaters on July 27th, with the promise of even more insane Tom Cruise stunts and maybe some weird stuff with Henry Cavill’s beard. To prepare for the release of Fallout, YouTube film essayist Patrick Willems takes a long look at the Mission: Impossible series,…

We first came across the above video on veteran Scientology reporter Tony Ortega’s website. If its chintzy aesthetic, bargain bin beats, and sheer abundance of white people “raising the roof” has you wondering how it isn’t a parody, well, you’re not alone.

Sometimes it feels like Hollywood is just one giant recycling center: In goes the existing intellectual property, out come the sequels, remakes, reboots, and adaptations. So it’s a little sad when a movie not based on something people already love flops, if only because it could hurt the chances of execs investing…

Felicity Jones embarks on another hero’s journey in On The Basis Of Sex, trading droids for jabots to play U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

If the recent Sorry To Bother You presents a head-trip, music-video vision of trying to get by in Oakland, California, then Blindspotting offers a more grounded tour of the city, addressing some of the same or related problems: racism, gentrification, systemic oppression.

Otzi (a.k.a. Oetzi) is a mummy that has been studied extensively at the Institute For Mummy Studies in Bolzano, Italy, after he was discovered in the Italian alps by a pair of climbers in the 1990s. Thirty years later, researchers now announce that they can reveal Otzi’s last meal, due to the remains in his stomach.…

If the role of the critic is to “educate the public,” as Oscar Wilde once wrote, Michiko Kakutani couldn’t have picked a worse time to retire from her post as chief book critic of The New York Times last July. Sure, serving for three decades as arguably the most important gatekeeper in literary publishing warrants a…

In a memorable early scene from The Dark Knight, Gotham gangster Gambol (played by Michael Jai White) is enjoying a nice game of billiards when some enterprising local criminals, intent on collecting a bounty, arrive with the apparently dead body of Heath Ledger’s Joker. Of course nothing is ever as it seems with The…

For every joke that makes it to TV, there’s probably a dozen that don’t. TV series, whether they’re sitcoms or talk shows, go through myriad iterations before hitting your eyeballs, and, on occasion, the best stuff hits the cutting room floor. That’s why John Oliver of Last Week Tonight regularly shares his team’s…

Kacey Musgraves is often hailed as a real country music singer-songwriter, who can craft and belt a song about women in the throes of love and heartbreak like her charming forebears Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, and Willie Nelson. On her third studio album, Golden Hour, Musgraves proves staying true to her country …

Oh, bless this podcast. Cher And Retweet springs from a delightful corner of the podcast world, where two or more people come up with some super-specific thing to discuss—in this case, Cher’s Twitter feed—as an excuse to get together and crack each other the hell up. It’s the podcast equivalent of a hangout film,…

Not only was Split the first M. Night Shyamalan movie in a number of years that didn’t completely suck, but it was also the first to draw a direct link to another film in the director’s oeuvre. In the film’s post-credits scene, we see Bruce Willis reprise his role as David Dunn from Unbreakable and name check Samuel…

Strange things might not be afoot at the Circle-K after all—despite recent reports that a third entry in the Bill & Ted franchise was finally and truly in the works, Ted “Theodore” Logan himself is now harshing our buzz.

Perhaps appropriately for a show that’s set behind the scenes at a reality series, it’s been a bumpy ride for UnREAL, Marti Noxon and Sarah Gertrude Shapiro’s drama that’s not officially about The Bachelor, but is totally about The Bachelor.
