If we had to sit here and list all the ways, subtle and overt, that the working world is systemically titled against women, we’d be here all day. (But just to do a dab of due diligence: Unequal pay, sexual harassment, constantly getting talked over, double standards…It’s an unpleasantly unceasing list.) One of the…

Oh, Waldo. You scarf-bedecked, cane-wielding, candy-cane-looking fuck. How you’ve taunted us across the years, with your smug little smile, your adventurous spirit, your ability to blend into overcrowded settings despite the fact that you dress like Santa Claus’ nerdy little nephew. How far have you set humanity back,…

Kanye West is having one of his periodic resurgences this week, presumably dictated by the lunar cycle, or extra atmospheric pollen count, or possibly just the fact that he’s just been feeling kind of horny lately. After all, he talked about his porn habits on Kimmel this week—scoring himself a lifetime Pornhub…

Bottle episodes in animated shows don’t quite work in the same way as bottle episodes of live action shows. While live action shows utilize bottle episodes to save money and/or narrow the focus to select characters and a select moment, animated shows can utilize a single setting and still create stakes equal to or…

It’s been a long road to the semi-finals. Each of the four bakers remaining has won Star Baker, and each has been up for elimination. The competition is fierce and they all know one small mistake is all it takes to send them home. The theme this episode is patisserie, or fine French pastry, and that means there’s…

Kanye West went on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, talking about all the things you’d expect a mercurial superstar to chat about on national TV: His wife, his work, his politics, his preferred masturbation habits. That last one came up when West responded to a question from Kimmel about his attitudes toward women in…

Much of that has to do with director Frank Oz, who spent 24 years as Fozzie’s voice actor and puppeteer, working with his friend Jim Henson to create the warm, anxious, perpetually heckled bear that most…

It’s been a minute since we’d heard anything major about the upcoming fourth movie in the rebooted Star Trek franchise. (To be clear, we’re talking here about the one that’s reportedly being directed by S.J. Clarkson, not that bizarre Quentin Tarantino version that’s also in the works.) The assumption, though, was…

But still, we all sort of generally accept that an Academy Award nomination is some sort of baseline hallmark of quality, right?
