Not counting casting announcements, the only thing we’ve seen from HBO’s “alternative reality” version of Watchmen were some leaked set photos that featured references to the “squid” that destroys New York at the end of the comic and a newspaper headline about the death of Adrian Veidt (the original story’s secret…

In the latest bit of entertainment news designed to elicit a chorus of “Wow, they’ll remake anything,” Deadline reports Constantin Films will reboot the Wrong Turn franchise. That’s right, franchise—the 2003 film starring Eliza Dushku as someone her Buffy The Vampire Slayer character would have no qualms about…

Cruz is currently ahead in the polls, Texas being…

The obvious motif that recurs throughout Wildlife, Paul Dano’s directorial debut, is that of fire.

Spare a moment to reconsider poor Neil deGrasse Tyson. The astrophysicist and author obviously loves his work, loves opportunities to share its intricacies with a general audience, and loves to do so via examples from pop culture. Sure, his tweets are deeply—deeply—annoying, but the man can only do what he knows. He’s…

The Batman franchise loves its backstories. But, as the films swept us time and again through the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne, or the origin stories of villains like Scarecrow and Bane, there remained the simple, reliable presence of Alfred Pennyworth, a nice, crafty Brit who, by virtue of having just gone to…

Early in The Library Book, Susan Orlean describes the joy of scanning a library’s shelves and discovering the dramatically different subjects that have somehow become neighbors. “On a library bookshelf, thought progresses in a way that is logical but also dumbfounding, mysterious, irresistible,” she writes.

Of all the crimes, playful vandalism is by far the best. The joke-loving vandal, creeping through the night to perform their tasks, doesn’t want to hurt people or take from others. Instead, they find things in the world that aren’t to their liking and, for any number of reasons, mess them up in funny ways. If you’re…

With James Wan’s Aquaman film hitting theaters in two months, DC Comics is boosting the hero’s profile on the page with crossovers putting him at the center of stories featuring major properties like Suicide Squad and Justice League.

This week’s episode of Law & Order: SVU continued the show’s tradition of ripped-from-the-headlines stories with an episode completely dedicated to the internet’s most embarrassing hate group—Incels.

He may not drink as much wine, but, just like his character Tyrion Lannister, Peter Dinklage seems to know things. In a recent interview with Vulture, Dinklage discussed his new HBO movie My Dinner With Hervé, his complicated relationship with the profession of acting, and, of course, Game Of Thrones. When it came…

Earlier this month, we wrote about the massive payday Hollywood director Bryan Singer would receive for Red Sonja, a “female-empowered” remake of the 1985 action fantasy, and how disconcerting this is in light of the many, many accusations of sexual assault that have been lodged against him over the years. Singer’s…

Nostalgia will radiate off the screen for audience members of a certain age almost immediately in Mid90s, when the camera pans across a bedroom, catching sight of Ninja Turtles sheets and a Hulk Hogan pillow before settling on a kid around 13 years old. Stevie (Sunny Suljic) is in front of a mirror, nursing bruises…

Vampires remain wildly popular in culture, be they animated, ultra-hip, or of the non-fanged variety. The OG Dracula, however, has less currency, his “I vant to suck yur blood!” schtick feeling outdated in this age of horror reinvention. Of course, people felt the same about Sherlock Holmes before Mark Gatiss and…

Solange, the pop artist responsible for 2016's neo-soul masterpiece A Seat At The Table, is the subject of a fascinating, far-ranging new profile in The New York Times.

I usually like to welcome the fall by buying a fresh notebook and a pack of pens (guess I haven’t left my school days behind), but this year, that little ritual was replaced with reading Patrick Flores-Scott’s new novel. American Road Trip is as multifaceted as its protagonist, Mexican-American teen Teodoro (known as…

It’s always a good time to talk to Chris Gethard. Hundreds of people regularly vie for that opportunity, waiting for him to tweet the phone number for Beautiful/Anonymous, a podcast that is built entirely of Gethard taking calls from unidentified strangers.
