Director Megan Griffiths’ new film Sadie tells the story of a young girl (Sophia Mitri Schloss) who is struggling with the fact her mother (Castle Rock’s Melanie Lynskey) is developing feelings for a new man while her father is deployed overseas. At the premiere of the film, we spoke with the director and cast about …

The American adaptation of The Office only finished airing five years ago, but it feels firmly entrenched in the early to mid-’00s cultural moment it emerged from. Mostly, this is the result of the show’s choice in pop references, Jim’s shaggy haircuts, and the fact that its humor came from characters grappling with…

We don’t usually report on celebrity Rumours here (that’s a pun that will make sense shortly), but we have some truly shocking gossip to share today: Apparently, the members of Fleetwood Mac have not always gotten along very well. Crazy, right? They used to seem like such good friends!

You don’t have to like Ariana Grande. (For what it’s worth, we here at The A.V. Club are officially extremely on board with her new album.) And you definitely don’t have to like her fiancé, Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson, whom many find annoying for doing things like getting engaged to Ariana Grande and then…

As reported by Deadline, HBO has just announced the premiere date for season three of True Detective, the spooky mystery show that was very good for one year and then very forgettable for another. Hopes are riding pretty high for this new season, which is going to center on Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff as…

HBO’s Veep will take its bow when its seventh season premieres this spring, and it looks like the show is leaning hard into that inevitable final arc we’ve expected since the sixth season finale (and, probably, since November of 2016). A new tweet from showrunner David Mandel depicts none other than Timothy Simons’…

About a month ago, the Senate passed the Music Modernization Act, a piece of legislation meant to update the way royalties work for musicians and songwriters, and Donald Trump signed it into law today alongside the biggest/only music superstars he could rope in, including Mike Love, Craig Morgan, John Rich, Doobie…

When last we heard from German iconoclast Werner Herzog he was drolly teasing a role in “a big franchise film” with the code name “Huckleberry.” Because any opportunity to hear Herzog drone in his fuzzy, soothsaying voice is a cause for celebration, we sought to figure out just what project it could be. The general…

Last night, South Park aired “The Problem With A Poo,” which which tried to tackle a whole host of issues but, as our review noted, lacked a “coherent message.” The episode concluded with an unusually pointed call to cancel The Simpsons, which was maybe serious ... or maybe sarcastic ... or ... who knows?

Despite some middling reviews, Venom made a big and slimy pile of money over the weekend, ensuring that Sony’s new line of Spider-Man-free Spider-Man spin-offs will live on. Next up is apparently Morbius, the movie about Marvel’s “living vampire” that will star Jared Leto as the blood-sucking man himself, and…

Writer-director Ike Barinholtz’s debut, The Oath, is an ambitious, if not entirely satisfying, black comedy that aims to tackle the rancor of the Trump era. The film centers on a Thanksgiving dinner gone extremely wrong, as a family of six clash over a newly-announced loyalty oath that the White House is encouraging…

Saturday Night Live veteran and Single Parents star Taran Killam swung by Matt Gourley’s wonderful I Was There, Too podcast this week for a candid, amusing talk about his life and career. In it, he chats about his surprising turn in 12 Years A Slave and his underrated directorial debut, Killing Gunther, but most…

Could I assemble a pizza in under a minute? Sure. Would it look like Jackson Pollock had suddenly adopted pepperoni and marinara as his medium? Yes. So the news that a Maryville, Tennessee man not only assembled a pepperoni pizza in 48 seconds but did so while maintaining strict aesthetic standards deserves our…

Leonard Cohen passed away in 2016, but the game-changing songwriter left behind a trove of unpublished material. That included several poems, the likes of which were recently published in a collection, The Flame, which counts among its pieces one called “Kanye West Is Not Picasso.”

Weezer, once the poster boys for disaffected D&D players everywhere, have aged into a bizarre gang of “cool” dads who specialize in songs about chillaxing while still striking the occasional note of brilliance (see: 2014's Everything Will Be Alright In The End). They’re leaning heavily into the former with their new,…

On Wednesday afternoon, the Florida panhandle was hit with Hurricane Michael. It began as a Category 4 hurricane, and was placed in Category 3 by the time it reached Georgia—unprecedented for the area. Powerful winds and rains are expected throughout Thursday and Friday through North Carolina.

On October 16, Abrams Press will release Monsters Of The Week: The Complete Critical Companion To The X-Files. Written by A.V. Club contributor Zack Handlen and former A.V. Club TV editor Todd VanDerWerff, the book adapts and updates the duo’s popular TV Club Classic recaps, supplementing them with cast and writer…

After a loaded sophomore season that unmasked the Black Hood next door and sent the town to the brink of civil war on multiple occasions, how does Riverdale kick off season three? With some sweaty courtroom drama, of course! But while Archie’s on trial for murder, Dial M For Maple would like to take him to court for…

It’s easy to forget in the age of Rick And Morty, Too Many Cooks, and Family Guy reruns, but the original Adult Swim lineup was almost entirely based around plucking characters from Space Ghost: Coast To Coast or obscure Hanna-Barbera cartoons and dropping them into new TV genres. The Brak Show was a family sitcom, …

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, October 11. All times are Eastern.

It wouldn’t be a Ryan Murphy show without a completely unnecessary musical moment. As this week’s episode reaches its climax, as old friends are literally resurrected, and moments of intrigue and subterfuge are illuminated...there’s a Stevie Nicks song. Not a piece of a Stevie Nicks song. Not the faint hints of a…

Few films captured America’s abiding interest in presidential exceptionalism, blood-sucking monsters, and watching those two concepts wail on each other with an axe more fully than 2012's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. And lest you think that said film’s legacy stops at depicting the battle of Gettysburg as a…

This week’s review needs to begin with a question, and it’s one of the utmost importance: Is anyone else completely losing track of where every character on Modern Family is supposed to be in their life? I can’t be the only one that feels lost when they think back on all the supposed milestones, past events, and…

Puppet-based ennui continues to rule supreme, as Showtime confirms that it’s giving another season to Kidding, Jim Carrey, Dave Holstein, and Michel Gondry’s exploration of what it looks like when Mr. Rogers loses his shit. The series—which also co-stars Catherine Keener, Judy Greer, and Frank Langella—has been…
