When ABC decided to reboot its Roseanne revival without its eponymous lead (who had been fired for being racist on Twitter), the path seemed pretty straightforward: Just do everything exactly the same as they would’ve had Roseanne Barr not been fired, but replace everything she would’ve said with someone else saying…

Castle Rock is part of the recent wave of excellent Stephen King adaptations that includes last year’s cinematic takes on It and Gerald’s Game. What sets Castle Rock apart, and what might generally push viewers over the love-hate divide, comes down to how distracted they’ll be with picking up on the plethora of Easter…

With the third season of HBO’s animated series Animals underway, The A.V. Club jumped into a swan boat on Echo Park Lake in Los Angeles with creators Phil Matarese and Mike Luciano to talk about the new slate of episodes. While on the lake, we played a game with the pair called “Which Animal Would Win?” where we pit…

What’s that? You thought the reveal in Star Wars: The Last Jedi that Rey’s parents were nobodies who died in penniless in the deserts of Jakku was the end of all the fan theories about which famous Star Wars characters were secretly her mother and father? Well you must be new here, because nothing is ever over in the…

It’s been more than two months since NBC stepped in and picked up Brooklyn Nine-Nine for a sixth season, but plenty of questions remain about the sitcom’s transition to its new network home. If the show premieres at midseason, how will it be able to stage the Halloween heist? Will Gina Rodriquez return to romance Rosa…

During an appearance at a Transformers fan convention earlier this year, veteran voice actor (and voice of Optimus Prime) Peter Cullen shared a behind-the-scenes story from the making of Predator and confirmed what many pop culture fans have known for a long time: voice actors are goddamn delightful. With the jovial…

Having already sent up the nuclear family and science fiction, Matt Groening turns his eye to medieval times for his first Netflix series, Disenchantment. The Simpsons and Futurama creator reunites with Josh Weinstein and Bill Oakley for this fantasy parody, which could be described as “Game Of Thrones as recapped by…

Kanye West doesn’t appear on late-night shows very often, possibly because he has a tendency to say and do controversial things when people give him a platform like that (or when he just hops on stage and takes the platform for himself), but West is set to make his big return to Jimmy Kimmel Live! later this week.…

Just when we thought the controversy surrounding some NFL players’ choice to kneel or remain off-field during the national anthem had quieted slightly, a Florida bar is reigniting the flame. FOX 13 reports Curtis and Janet West, who own the Beef O’ Brady’s location on Cortez Boulevard in Brooksville, Florida, are…

Jackie Chan is an international treasure, an action-movie icon and lovable scamp whose commitment to almost dying in horrifying ways, over and over, for our entertainment, surely qualifies him for some sort of medal. Other than the lifetime achievement Academy Award he’s already received, we mean.

On this week’s episode of Film Club, critics A.A. Dowd and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky sit down to discuss the latest from Spike Lee, which tells the bizarre true story of Ron Stallworth, a black detective for the Colorado Springs Police Department who infiltrates the local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan by posing as a white…

Feeling the cold hand of irrelevance gripping the back of its neck despite its best, selfie-based efforts, today Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences introduced a new series of rules, from practical to extremely “what the fuck?,” in a message to its membership.

The death of a celebrity has always been big news, but nowadays it’s maybe best described as all-encompassing. Tributes and thinkpieces flood every site, while your social media feed turns into a battle of competitive grieving. This can be cathartic for some, who, in the wake of the loss, want to immerse themselves in…

When Marvel first announced Marvel Rising, its new foray into animation, it looked to deliver something largely missing from the big-screen MCU: a focus on the comic publisher’s younger crop of heroes, especially the women and people of color mostly relegated to sidekick status when it comes to the live-action films.…

Through the howling void of purgatory that coexists alongside our reality, the creature shrieks with desire: The spirit of Colonel Sanders grows hungry again. Hungry for a fresh soul to devour, whereby it may then live anew in yet another hollowed-out body, and utter its dark encomiums to finger-lickin’ flavor.

As welcome as the decision of pretty much every internet media platform to purge Alex Jones’ putrid breed of “truth-telling” from their systems may be, some people out there are not so thrilled. No, we’re not just talking about Twitter, stalwart protector of the very worst forms of free expression—we’re talking about…

The late Carrie Fisher was the opposite of Donald Trump in nearly every way—witty, empathetic, self-aware, and, most importantly for the purposes of this particular sentence, unconcerned with having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. For as we point out every time this particular piss-stained stretch of Los Angeles…

There’s nothing that takes you out of a movie more than an obvious plot hole or continuity error. Luckily, there is a new Twitter account whose sole purpose is to identify and spread awareness about these errors, warning potential moviegoers not to waste their time with these shoddily made films. Some of these goofs…

The first time I played Okami, I didn’t get it. It was a much-ballyhooed effort from a dream team of Japanese game designers, a sprawling RPG with a vibrant, hand-painted art style. Ambition radiated off the project. But it didn’t sell well upon its release in 2006. It was long—its story ambling along, one climax…

[Warning: Key plot details for Avengers: Infinity War are discussed below, for which we’ll keep posting spoiler alerts just in case you’re one of the three remaining Marvel fans who somehow haven’t watched it yet.]

If you’re a Harry Potter completionist, the new 4K Blu-ray box set is a must-own. But if you just have one or two films that you really loved and want to rewatch in the highest fidelity possible, all eight are on sale for $20 today, about $5 less than usual. You’ll need a 4K Blu-ray player to watch them, but they also…

Villains can be much more fun to play than heroes. Just ask Gary Oldman or Christoph Waltz or any actor who’s built a résumé filthy with scoundrels. But perhaps the dark side exerts a particularly seductive pull on those performers who don’t specialize in heavies, those who have established a reputation for playing…

“It was that damned dog,” Ruth Deaver laments to her son in the aftermath of her leap from the bridge—from the Pangborn Bridge, dedicated seconds before her leap. “That damned dog” isn’t a St. Bernard like Cujo, but his bark is enough to rouse memories of the terrible siege in the Camber’s dooryard. Or maybe Ruth…

Giant, happy tree-man Joe Manganiello might technically have been on last night’s Late Show to talk about his upcoming quest to save the floundering Justice League franchise (an sorry about that pun, Aquaman) as kickass, one-eyed assassin Deathstroke, but that all went out the studio window once Stephen Colbert…

I’m a 27-year-old woman living on the East Coast. I’ve been sexually active and on birth control since I was 16—almost always on the pill. I recently switched to the NuvaRing, which I had a bad reaction to: I had no libido at all and extreme mood swings/bouts of depression I could not live with. My boyfriend and I…
