The saga of the weird-as-fuck Egypt Air Drew Barrymore interview continues today, with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association—i.e., the folks who hand out the Golden Globes—now stepping in to apologize for their part in its publication, even though, as far as we can tell, they do not appear to have had any part in…

Proving yet again that nothing is truly sacred—not even the holy trinity of gym, tan, laundry—we regret to inform you that Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is about to no longer enjoy the freedoms of the Jersey beach. Per Page Six, Sorrentino—who starred in six seasons of MTV’s The Jersey Shore from 2009 to 2012, and…

While many of us have trouble chewing bubblegum and tying our shoes at the same time, there are talented people out there coordinating the creation of film and TV scenes designed entirely, it seems, to make us feel bad.

When Joss Whedon announced an impending reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer—one set in the present day and with an all-new Slayer played by a black actress— longtime fans of the cult classic absolutely lost their shit. While plenty welcomed the news as a promise of more Buffy, others feared that the new show would…

“Home” starts off with an infant being buried alive, and finds a handful more terrifying places to go from there. The episode has images you can’t believe they ever got on network television, and, indeed, it’s been pulled from syndicated streamings. But find it again (it’s widely available to stream), or even for the…

Today is the one-year anniversary of the New York Times story that shook the mountain that started the avalanche referred to as #MeToo, and I am very tired. Tired of scraping and re-scraping the barrel of personal pain, and tired of not being listened to. Tired, as Alexandra Petri put it in The Washington Post last…

It takes a few minutes of post-viewing reflection for the most radical thing about Star Wars Resistance to set in: no Jedi. There’s not one laser sword on display in the new Disney Channel series, no evidence of magical powers. Nobody tells anybody to use the Force, or even mentions that quasi-mystical energy field.…

The Good Place is a show known for its incredibly dense joke saturation and plethora of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it visual gags. This week’s episode, “The Brainy Bunch,” was no exception, and saw our characters dining out on a veritable joke-feast at the aptly named Americana restaurant, Cowboy Skyscraper Buffet. There…

Humble Monthly just began a new, and next month’s slate of early access games is one of the best yet. Sign up now to get instant access to Hollow Knight, Hitman Season 1, and 7 Days to Die. It’s just $12 a month to sign up (or less if you pay for multiple months in advance), and every game you download is yours to…

Yesterday, director James Wan debuted a new Aquaman poster on his Twitter account, and today he’s dropped a whopping five minutes of footage from his upcoming addition to the DC universe. In it, Jason Momoa’s Arthur Curry recounts his lineage, cracks wise, and shoves a submarine to safety. He also dons the character’s…

I can’t be the only Marvel movie fan who thought the wrong king might have won at the end of Black Panther, right? No disrespect to Chadwick Boseman or King T’Challa, but Michael B. Jordan’s Erik Killmonger—a.k.a. Erik Stevens, a.k.a. N’Jadaka—was the clear star of 2018’s most visually exciting superhero throw-down,…

After a two year hiatus, The Man In The High Castle, the alternate history, Axis-powers-won-the-Second-World-War drama, returns to Amazon Prime today. Obviously, for a show set in the Greater Nazi Reich, much of the cast plays characters who are Nazis, married to Nazis, or friends with Nazis, and, as a result,…

Post-credit scenes, at least as they exist in our modern-day superhero-soaked landscape, tend to be for the diehards, those who know these worlds beyond what’s presented in the films. That doesn’t change with the mid-credits stinger of Venom, which officially hits theaters today. In the scene, Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock…

Lil Wayne’s long-delayed Tha Carter V has enough highlights to carry it through, while metal vets High On Fire offer one of their most ass-kicking albums yet, and Philly DIY rockers Swearin’ return restless and reflective on Fall Into The Sun. Plus, we look at the third LP from Death Valley Girls, Darkness Rains.

You’ve got plenty of time to get caught up on Kingdom Hearts before Kingdom Hearts III comes out next January, and preorders just went live for Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Far, which comes out at the end of October, and includes HD remasters of every previous title. It’s not a deal, but it’s possible the physical…

Chris Evans, who, by virtue of being an actual golden retriever, remains the best of our famous Chrises, will join Daniel Craig in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out, a murder mystery he penned in the style of old Agatha Christie murder mysteries. This news comes hot on the heels of Evans tweeting out what definitely sounds…

Bobby Drake and Emma Frost have a complicated relationship. In the ’90s, Emma possessed Bobby’s body and helped him unlock the full potential of his ice powers—but it still involved unwanted psychic manipulation, and that’s not cool. Emma has flip-flopped between hero and villain for years, and she’s currently in a…

The news sounds positive on face: Global retail overlord Amazon—which bought Whole Foods last year—will raise Amazon and Whole Foods’ employees minimum hourly wage to $15. (Fast Company reports it will also offer raises of $1 per hour to employees who earn more than that.) The change would go into effect November 1, …

Conan O’Brien’s the best talk show host we’ve still got, but he sees the writing on the wall. As we previously reported, his TBS series will pivot to 30-minute episodes when it returns next year, focusing less on guests and music than comedy. That means no more musical guests and, sadly, no more La Bamba or Mark…

Given the nearly two-year hiatus between seasons of The Man In The High Castle, and the resolution of the production turmoil that left the series without a showrunner for much of the second season (Eric Overmyer, previously of Bosch, is now on board as executive producer), viewers might be expecting a substantial…

Spider-Man has always been a popular superhero, but he’s never been a more powerful pop culture force than right now. He’s a prominent part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, played by Tom Holland with the perfect balance of boyish angst and glee. Sony is releasing two new Spidey-related movies this year: this week’s …

If Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins was the first movie to really take superheroes seriously, then maybe Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns, released the following year, was the first movie to take superheroes too seriously. Singer even took the non-serious parts of his story too seriously. In retrospect, it’s hard to…

On Thursday’s Late Show, Stephen Colbert was clearly impressed with his first guest, singer and now movie star in the making Lady Gaga. Colbert, who’s seen a preview of Bradley Cooper’s Lady Gaga-starring A Star Is Born, was actually more like awestruck by the first-time lead actress’ performance and the film itself,…

Every Friday, A.V. Club staffers kick off our weekly open thread for the discussion of gaming plans and recent gaming glories, but of course, the real action is down in the comments, where we invite you to answer our eternal question: What Are You Playing This Weekend?
