Tatooine sucks, canonically. The festering bantha blister of the Star Wars universe, the entire planet is hot, hostile, and full of sand. (And who likes sand?) It literally exists to be the shitty place that heroes and villains work their whole lives to get away from, and yet the Star Wars franchise keeps returning to…

In 2012, when Mark Wahlberg told a Men’s Journal reporter that he probably could have defused the hostile takeover of one of the 9/11 flights, he wasn’t just committing an insensitive, dunderheaded faux pas of run amok machismo. He was also providing the world a preview of the next few years of his Hollywood career.…

In a move that would make the late Anthony Bourdain proud, the team at Full Frontal With Samantha Bee is raising awareness and funds for immigrant workers in the restaurant industry. The “Thank You” campaign was launched on Wednesday, along with a field piece that sees Sam Bee mix a Top Chef audition in with her…

Season one of Iron Fist wasn’t great, but hopefully season two (on Netflix September 7) will be better. This trailer—with Danny fighting evil Iron Fist, dating, and working with Misty Knight—is okay.

We all thought it was pretty funny when Jim Carrey decided to dedicate his social media pages to unflattering portraits of Donald Trump and his various evil cronies, with Carrey’s particularly weird style and his unsubtle commentary (Trump bathing in literal sewage, for example) making it clear that he truly despised…

It has been a long time since we got a video game adaptation that considered legitimately good, not counting the stuff that dedicated fans really ate up like Warcraft or Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever, but nothing will ever stop producers from deciding that they’re the ones who will finally crack the video game adaptation…

Sacha Baron Cohen’s Showtime series Who Is America? can be something of a mixed bag, but it’s nothing short of transcendent when the comedian gets his marks right where he wants them. The above video compilation from Vulture captures several of those moments, many of which find our country’s most renowned bigots…

Sorry, folks, but Mickey’s put his big, yellow loafer down: James Gunn will not be directing Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3. Despite rumors of positive “back channel talks,” the overwhelming support of the Guardians cast, and what have no doubt been some intimidating glares from Dave Bautista, Disney has made it…

Welcome back to AVQ&A, where we throw out a question for discussion among the staff and readers.

Got a question you’d…

It looks like Rihanna and Donald Glover are working together on a secret project, but thanks to the fact that they’re both very famous, it might not be as secret as they hoped. The two of them were spotted in Cuba recently, and according to people on Twitter, sources in Cuba claimed that they’re shooting scenes for an…

Created by and starring Detroit natives Sam Richardson and Tim Robinson, Comedy Central’s Detroiters follows a pair of small-time ad men trying to make it in the Motor City. Ahead of the show’s second-season finale tonight, we had Robinson give us a 24-hour guide to visiting the city of Detroit, which wouldn’t be…

For years, characters on sci-fi shows and police procedurals have been asking technicians to do the impossible with grainy, out-of-focus images. Suspect’s pixelated faces are transformed into crystal clear mugshots and reflections of partial license plate numbers become usable clues thanks to the vague, catch-all…

T.J. Miller—the comedian and Silicon Valley actor whose fall from grace began with accusations of sexual assault that were quickly joined by documentation of unprofessional on-set behavior, transphobia, harassment, and, well, actual criminal charges—would like you all to know that, actually, this is all the media’s…

Mitski makes music about inexpressible emotions—urgent, intimate dispatches that seem to come from her very soul. At least, that’s how many, including this writer, have characterized her past work. And there’s something romantic about the idea that someone has captured the secret fears and desires that perch on the…

Netflix just released the first trailer for Roma, Alfonso Cuarón’s long-in-the-works follow-up to 2013’s Gravity. The film is a deeply personal work for the director, drawing on events from his childhood to tell the story of a single family throughout a turbulent year, emotionally and politically. If the reduction in…

Aretha Franklin, the iconic R&B singer and songwriter known for decades simply as “the Queen of Soul,” has died. Franklin was admitted into hospice care on August 13, amid reports that she was “seriously ill” with pancreatic cancer. She retired from touring in February 2017, and was forced to cancel a pair of…

For video game loving kids of the early 1990s, few things will bring you back to childhood quicker than the music of Super Mario World or Donkey Kong Country. Even more so than its 8-bit predecessor, the 16-bit Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) is full of iconic scores and sounds. And YouTube video essayist …

It’s been a long, hot, Riverdale-less summer, but Dial M For Maple is here with a special treat: an interview with Tiera Skovbye, a.k.a. the mysterious Polly Cooper. While on a press tour for her new movie, Summer Of ’84, Tiera jumped on the phone with host Cameron Scheetz to discuss the future of the Cooper clan, the…

When we last spoke to Eric Andre, the actor-comedian told us The Simpsons remains one of the funniest things on TV, which is why he wanted to voice a character on the long-running animated sitcom. The good news is that Andre has landed a gig on a Matt Groening show—he’s joined Simpsons vets Josh Weinstein and Bill…

As Donald Trump’s loose lips and looser concept of audio security move the goalposts for his supporters past “Well, so what if he said the most reviled racial slur imaginable?,” two very different late-night talk show guests had unsurprisingly different takes on the increasingly probable existence of the reported…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, August 16. All times are Eastern.

Saturday Night Live has never been shy about launching attacks on former host Donald Trump, filling its programming over the last few years with swipes against the current president that range all the way from tepid to “mildly cutting.” One of the best, though, wasn’t aimed at Trump himself—because it’s depressingly…

Julian is starting to reveal the depths of his learned confusion and its consequences. Whatever strange mysticism he’s been taught about life and death, we now know why he could both murder two people in cold blood and simultaneously be absolutely horrified as it happens: “It wasn’t supposed to hurt.”
