The world continues to be a very dark place, as the ongoing discussion of what level of alleged sexual assault is tolerable for a Supreme Court nominee can attest. And let’s not forget that we’re on the verge of another government shutdown if Congress can’t pass a crucial spending bill by September 30, because the GOP…

Jane Fonda In Five Acts is a fascinating documentary about a fascinating person. It closely examines the life of someone who is somehow simultaneously Hollywood royalty, activist, fitness mogul, and movie star, looking back at the considerable history of Fonda’s life over eight decades. As the actor nears turning 80…

Hear ye, hear ye: Greek Street and Hulu, two noted destinations for those in search of simmering female rage, will remain so. The latter has just extended the lease for the former in the guise of a welcome third season order for Harlots, and thus the Wells-Quigley feud, the excellent costumes, and the near-constant…

Q4 is set to begin next week, and that means a brand new set of 5% bonus categories for the Chase Freedom card.

Weezer has a track record of crowd-pleasing videos, from the Spike Jonze-directed “Buddy Holly” to the Spike Jonze-directed “Island In The Sun” (“Undone: The Sweater Song” is also a Jonze joint, complete with fluffy animals and cuddly emo musicians). But for their latest video, Rivers Cuomo and the rest of the guys…

Eli Roth’s first foray into the realm of the family-friendly seems to have worked out well for all involved: It’s pretty good (“an ooky-spooky, creepy-crawly Halloween treat for horror-fans-in-training,” per our own Katie Rife), it made some real money, and Cate Blanchett got to wear some great sweaters. Not bad for a…

A new article in The Wall Street Journal is outlining’s Apple’s plan for its fancy new streaming service, and everyone is making fun of the tech giant as a result. It sounds moralizing, paternalistic, and as watered down and neutered as TV can be—even compared to CBS. What it’s not, however, is surprising.

“In October of 2014, a white police officer fatally shot a black teenager on the streets of Chicago,” states the first line of 16 Shots’ description before expounding. Now almost 15 episodes in, the podcast (a collaboration between WBEZ Chicago and the Chicago Tribune) continues in that pattern, letting statements hit…

There are probably more eloquent ways to say it, but the fact that Kyle MacLachlan didn’t get an Emmy nomination for his performance in Twin Peaks: The Return absolutely sucks. Over the course of 18 episodes, MacLachlan embodied three distinctly different characters and delivered performances that ranged from…

For his next feature, Quentin Tarantino and an impressive cast are taking audiences back to to the dark days of Los Angeles, when Manson Family paranoia signified the end of an era. The A.V. Club and IMDb have teamed up to get you up to speed on Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, keeping tally of who’s-playing-who in the…

It was only a matter of time before TV’s revival trend turned its rapacious eye to Frasier, one of the most successful spin-offs in programming history. The long-running multi-cam sitcom from David Angell, Peter Casey, and David Lee has found new life in memes as well as in pillow forts across the country, offering a…

The cute Transformers movie is nigh. We’ll have to wait for Christmas to find out whether or not the titular character ever finds a chair that’s not too big or too small, but juuuust right.

The DC Universe has been in a state of rapid change since the conclusion of the Dark Nights: Metal event. The Source Wall at the edge of the multiverse is broken, allowing threats to emerge that have continued this cosmic transformation. Justice League Odyssey is a new series taking a group of heroes into the Ghost…

This is a divided time; a contentious time. But surely we can all come together and agree on one thing: Avengers: Infinity War needed more Valkyrie. Is it not so? As such, it gives us great pleasure to share news that should be met with much rejoicing. It would seem that everyone’s favorite hard-drinking Revenger will…

BBC Earth’s renowned series, Blue Planet, returned in 2017 after more than a decade since the original was released, giving viewers another 8 episodes of underwater exploration. Now Blue Planet II is available in 4K HDR for just $30. Enjoy the wonders of our oceans from the comfort of your couch with the illustrious…

Twitter has a pretty terrible record when it comes to effectively removing trolls and abusive users from their platform, but occasionally they get one right. This weekend, Oscar-nominated actor turned conservative nut-job James Woods was locked out of the social media website for essentially being a total dumbass.…

Jane Fonda has donned so many personas over the years—Hollywood starlet, Barbarella sex kitten, Hanoi Jane, workout queen—it doesn’t even seem possible that the same person lived through all of these seeming disparate eras. Jane Fonda In Five Acts, Susan Lacy’s new HBO documentary, expertly breaks down Fonda’s…

The best board game in existence, $128 AirPods, and the new Luminoodle Click lead off Monday’s best deals from around the web.

At one point during their attempted heist, Ollie—Owen’s incarnation in the 1940s setting of “Exactly Like You”—turns to Annie’s incarnation, Arlie. He asks her, “Do you ever think your condition is a lot simpler than you think?” He’s asking about their relationship: In this world the two were married, then separated,…

After a blisteringly funny opening spent compiling all the new shapes into which conservative commentators are contorting themselves in their frenzied mission to excuse yet another powerful accused Republican sex creep (Jeanine Pirro really needs to stop trying to make “Democratic demon rats” happen), John Oliver…

This was a difficult episode of Insecure to review. As a standalone episode, it had some of the show’s most hilarious moments of the season. But, when you examine “Obsessed-Like” against the show’s entire third season things start to fall apart. This is the penultimate episode and there’s no real momentum taking us…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Monday, September 24. All times are Eastern.

Last week, Doc Venture (along with Billy and Pete) invented a teleportation device that could revolutionize the world, and the Monarch and Gary somehow managed to steal it. This week, that—doesn’t come up at all. Which isn’t a problem! “The Terminus Moderate” is an excellent episode, one of the best of the season so…

Greetings from Fantastic Fest! I’m serving on the Next Wave jury—a first-time filmmaker award—at this year’s festival, which precludes talking about a lot of the films I have seen in the first few days since this year’s edition of the festival kicked off with the American premiere of Halloween on Thursday night. (You…
