In news that seems like a perfect metaphor for a zombie show, AMC has teased that it’s working on a plan to keep The Walking Dead going—in one form or another—forever. That comes from Bloomberg, which says AMC is talking with “several large media companies” about plans to keep The Walking Dead brand alive for “another…

When Quentin Tarantino coined the term “hangout movie,” he was describing one of the greatest Westerns ever made: Rio Bravo, Howard Hawks’ 1959 masterpiece, which kills most of its running time just laying low with a small-town sheriff and the motley posse he’s assembled to guard a jailhouse, eavesdropping on their…

According to Collider, James Wan from The Conjuring and Aquaman is set to produce a horror movie based on Milk, a short film directed by Santiago Menghini. The movie’s Wan has produced, which include The Nun and Lights Out, tend to be reasonably good, so this is a pretty good sign even if Wan isn’t directing the…

The oldest person in Great Britain celebrated her 112th birthday this week, and to mark the occasion, she gave away her secret to longevity: A dram of single malt whiskey, every night for the last sixty years.

Okay, Child’s Play. You have our attention. Collider reports that the upcoming reboot of the murder-doll horror franchise has snagged recent Emmy nominee Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta) and Janet Snakehole herself, Aubrey Plaza (Parks And Recreation), for its cast; the news has since been confirmed by EW.

Just about a month ago, we reported that Hulu was working on a plan to bring back cult classic mystery show Veronica Mars, with original creator Rob Thomas and original star Kristen Bell both set to return. Today, in a rare instance of something that is actually good happening in our miserable world, Hulu announced…

Daredevil will head back into the darkness on October 19. This first-look footage from Netflix confirms that Matt Murdock plans to “let the Devil out” in the show’s presumably cheery third season. 

This week, it was reported that Disney is developing TV shows spun off from Marvel Cinematic Universe characters like Loki and the Scarlet Witch for its upcoming, direct-to-consumer streaming service. This was seen by some as a death knell for ABC’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., which was renewed for a sixth, 13-episode…

The Twilight Zone wouldn’t be nearly as iconic as it is now without Rod Sterling guiding viewers in and setting up the mysterious sights and sounds of each story with his ominous introductions, but since Sterling has been dead for over 40 years, CBS’ new Twilight Zone reboot has had to face the impossible task of…

Nothing reeks of 90s nostalgia like a bootleg Simpsons t-shirt. These crudely drawn knock-offs were must-have items for any fan of the show who did all their clothes shopping at flea markets and second-hand stores. Nowadays, bootleg Simpsons-wear is a little harder to come by, either because styles have changed or…

The broadcast television season begins in earnest this Sunday, September 23, though you’d be forgiven for feeling like a half-dozen seasons have come and gone in the weeks since Labor Day, what with the Streampocalypse and cable premieres—and you still have to wait until tomorrow to get into Maniac, whose Matryoshka…

After a troubled production and a relatively soft box-office for Solo, rumors began to emerge that the full-steam-ahead Star Wars franchise might take a quick breather. That sort of made sense, given the amount of rods it has in the fire, so to speak: the J.J. Abrahams-helmed flagship trilogy, the ongoing “Anthology”…

Fans of Marvel’s superheroes, sick and tired of never having any Marvel superhero movies to watch, are eagerly anticipating the next Avengers. Desperate for any clues as to what’s next after this year’s Infinity War ended on a big old cliffhanger, they’ve now been given something huge to look into: a photo of an empty…

In its first season, Netflix’s Big Mouth came up with a lot of creative ways to visualize the confusion and humiliation of coming of age. But, as is the extremely NSFW series’ wont, it goes further in season two, introducing David Thewlis as the source of unspoken adolescent disgrace, the Shame Wizard. That…

When Christine And The Queens emerged with 2015’s self-titled effort, the album was a welcome antidote to sterile pop music. Héloïse Letissier, the French musician behind the project, wasn’t just a refreshingly honest songwriter. She was also a mesmerizing live performer who seemed to melt into rhythms and grooves—and…

It’s been over a year since the BBC announced that Jodie Whittaker would step into Peter Capaldi’s shoes as the thieving, running, lying, saving, satsuma-throwing, fez-wearing, pear-eschewing mad man in a box commonly known as The Doctor. Since then, we’ve gotten a brief appearance, a costume, some companions, a quick…

Panos Cosmatos’ new film, Mandy, has earned the type of wild-eyed, freakout response that befits a movie about Nicolas Cage going apeshit with a battle ax. If that feels memetic and jokey, like a Chuck Norris coloring book come to life, the movie containing it does not. Mandy moves at a miasmic pace, fading gently…

Stephen Colbert took Wednesday’s Late Show on the road. Well, on the street, anyway, as the host hopped up from his desk and interviewed guest Willie Nelson on Nelson’s famously cosy tour bus parked out on 53rd Street outside the Ed Sullivan Theater. There to promote his latest album, My Way (a collection of Sinatra…

Variety reports tonight that the producers of the resolutely unkillable James Bond film franchise have found their replacement for recently ousted director Danny Boyle, announcing that Cary Fukunaga will be helming the 25th film in the spy-action series. Fukunaga is probably still best known for directing the entirety…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, September 20. All times are Eastern.

“I wouldn’t have sex with you if you were the last man on earth.” Such a clichéd dig seems weightier when whispered in a bunker after the end of the world, more or less.

Writing a sympathetic, emotionally vulnerable celebrity profile of Chevy Chase is probably a lot like making a hot dog without stuffing the thing full of pig anuses: You can do it, sure, but you’re going to have to leave all the good stuff out.

It went to some very dark places. There was murder, kidnapping, arson, abuse, blackmail, and lots of very unpleasant therapy. The season finale of The Sinner answered questions, but it left one unanswered: Does Elisha Henig have the most unsettling thousand-yard stare of any kid on TV, or just one of the most?

“The only way to beat men is by competing with other women.”
