A 2013 article in The Atlantic asked a very good, non-rhetorical question: “Why is Sweden so good at pop music?” The fascinating article outlined some potential answers—prioritization of melodies, government support of artistic endeavors, a supportive community, embrace of cutting-edge technology and sounds—but missed…

Ozzy Osbourne is canceling the remaining four dates on his North American tour, Rolling Stone reports, due to an infection in his right hand, the very same hand he’s used to set chickens on fire, toss TVs through windows, and shovel life-threatening amounts of drugs into his system.

Based on the British series of the same name, HBO’s Camping is set during a nightmare weekend camping trip, where tempers flare and personalities clash among a ground of adults stuck in the wilderness together. We sat down with the cast of Camping to see if they actually like camping. Turns out, most of them are not…

Amid all the chaos and drama and murder, How To Get Away With Murder consistently embeds compelling messages about trauma, violence, and morality. One of its strongest messages is its complete challenging of what it means to be a murderer. The show posits, sometimes with disturbing pointedness, that anyone is capable…

Since breaking into Hollywood, writer/director Denis Villeneuve has been on an absolute tear. His most recent films, which include the excellent Blade Runner 2049 and Arrival, are beguiling, beautiful reminders that show mainstream cinema still has room for genre work blending both thoughtfulness and action.

We ride hard for the Universal Soldier films here at The A.V. Club, though not the 1992 original so much as its direct-to-video sequels like Universal Soldier: Regeneration and Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning. “On almost every level, the 21st century iterations of the Universal Soldier series are more exciting,…

Episode 1: “Steven Sees A Ghost” | Episode 2: “Open Casket” | Episode 3: “Touch” | Episode 4: “The Twin Thing”

This week’s question is short and sweet, and comes from our own Caity PenzeyMoog:

This weekend, directing duo Hannah Marks and Joey Power make their feature debut with a film from a cinematic genre with a surprisingly long history—the cancer drama. After Everything follows the 23-year-old Elliot (Shameless’ Jeremy Allen White), who receives a damning diagnosis and meets love interest Mia (It Follows

This weekend, directing duo Hannah Marks and Joey Power make their feature film debut with a film from a sub-genre of filmmaking with a surprising long history—a cancer drama. After Everything follows the 23-year-old Elliot (Shameless’ Jeremy Allen White) who receives a damning diagnosis and meets Mia (It Follows’…

Banksy, that scamp, caused the art world’s collective monocle to shatter when a print of his iconic “Girl With Balloon” self-destructed after being purchased for more than $1.2 million at a London Sotheby’s. There’s been plenty of speculation as to whether the event was staged with the auction house—signs point to…

It’s 11 a.m. deep in the Mojave Desert, the sun already laser-boring into everything it touches, and Bob is driving the stagecoach a hair too fast, speeding down Fury Road while tidily dispatching his not-first Bud Light of the morning. The whiskey still fixed to the stagecoach’s roof rattles as the scenery whips by:…

An Athens, Alabama grocery store stated on Facebook that it will no longer sell Pepsi products that carry the NFL logo; Pepsi is a longtime sponsor of the NFL and uses the league’s logo on a number of bottles. But S&Z Grocery made a statement on its Facebook page yesterday that the store will stop carrying the…

Holograms are weird. Frankly, we’re still not over that Will.i.am thing. Nevertheless, the public’s desire to watch a translucent avatar play their favorite songs persists, with crowds flocking to a recent tour headlined by a Roy Orbison hologram. The next star to get the treatment? Late singer Amy Winehouse, who died…

The 1993 shooter Doom looks like every morally panicked adult’s nightmare vision of video-game violence made manifest. The screen is centered, always, on instruments of violence, its levels are filled with roaring demons, and the soundtrack comprises reprobate-courting MIDI speed metal. Still, the original Doom’s…

George Hardy is a chummy, successful Alabama dentist who, in the late ‘80s, found himself cast as a lead in the movie that would become Troll 2, one of the most notoriously shitty movies ever made. Hardy would lead another film in 2009's Best Worst Movie, a documentary about the Troll 2 phenomenon that found Hardy…

Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner made a career out of creating an entertaining series filled with frequently unlikable people in HBO’s Girls. The pair’s second time around on the cable network shows that lightning indeed does not strike twice. Camping is in the running for the worst U.S. version of a successful British…

The Big Lebowski is getting a couple of 4K 20th anniversary Blu-ray releases next week, and you can preorder and save on both the standard 4K/Blu-ra/Digital box, or the Limited Edition with a bowling ball pencil holder and a bag that will really tie the room together.

After hijacking Kitty Pryde and Colossus’ wedding in X-Men Gold #30, the newly married Rogue and Gambit have embarked on a honeymoon that has gone about as well as these things normally do for superheroes. Which is to say it’s been a total disaster. They decided to go to space to get away from all the drama on Earth,…

The Fast and Furious franchise went from zero to 60 with its crackerjack fifth installment, demoting the drag racing upon which it built itself into the backseat as it sped fully into over-the-top heist capers. It was a wise decision and, even if the eighth installment left us feeling fast and sorta fatigued, a detour…

Anker’s Nebula Capsule mini projector gets all the hype, but if its standard definition resolution and 100 lumen brightness won’t cut it for your portable cinema needs, the new Nebula Mars II is $100 off right now with promo code NEBULA10.

“They never believe me”

Still shattered from his ghastly encounter with the crawling figure in the bootleggers’ secret cellar, in “The Twin Thing,” young Luke Crain takes solace in the company of his “imaginary friend,” Abigail. Even with proof in the form of a ferocious rip in his pajamas, his parents tell him the…
