Annabelle: The Creation actually turned out surprisingly well for a prequel to a bad movie that was a spin-off of a good movie, and since the popularity of The Nun has ensured that the Conjuring spin-off universe is going to be a thing, it’s time to start thinking about the third Annabelle movie. Now, the Conjuring …

In the decade (nearly) since Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino has directed two films—three, if you want to count his Manson Family picture, due next summer. Mélanie Laurent, who played the vengeful Shosanna in Basterds, has since directed five features, maintaining a steady acting career all the while. It’s an…

You could probably blanket a moderately sized country with all of the Wi-Fi smart plugs out there, but they all work basically the same way: They turn any AC outlet into a switch-controlled outlet, except the switch is your phone (or, more broadly is distressingly speaking, the internet). Quirky’s Switch Flip, by…

Stories confined to a single location had a special place in the career of Alfred Hitchcock, who saw them as opportunities to experiment: with long takes in Rope, 3D in Dial M For Murder, and studios sets in Lifeboat and Rear Window, one of his celebrated and most imitated films. But one wonders what the master of…

It should come as no surprise that Michael Myers goes back to Haddonfield in the new Halloween movie. When the escaped lunatic can, he always makes it home for the holiday. He’s a creature of habit, and so, too, is the apparently immortal Halloween series, which returns repeatedly—like a mindless, unstoppable force of…

At this point, it’s well-established that Piers Morgan totally sucks. We could spend a few sentences laying out the reasons why he sucks and the sucky things he’s done in his life, but we’ve had the misfortunate of covering Donald Trump for so long that we don’t really feel like wasting time building an argument…

So much bile spills from our president’s mouth in any given week that it’s become shockingly easy for his latest offenses to nudge out the old ones. There’s one word, however, that’s hard to shake: “shitholes.” Back in January, Donald Trump reportedly characterized Haiti, El Salvador, and several African countries as…

According to Deadline, FX has picked up the rights to an anthology series based on Carmen Maria Machado’s Her Body And Other Parties. The original book is a short story collection that puts a sci-fi/fantasy spin on various real-life horrors that women face, including a dark (well, darker) spin on the old The Green…

They say slow and steady wins the race, but that hasn’t been easy for the DCEU’s Flash, Ezra Miller, who expressed disappointment last year over the delays that have kept the character’s standalone film at a standstill. Earlier this year, Warner Bros. hired Game Night directors and Spider-Man: Homecoming scribes John…

Eagle-eyed viewers beware. You might accidentally spoil the ending of this year’s innovative thriller Searching by simply paying too close attention to one of the film’s minor details. As pointed out by Slashfilm, a summary of the film’s ending appears briefly on screen while John Cho’s character checks his email,…

Last night on The Late Late Show, guest Jon Hamm played a game of “Spill Your Guts Or Fill Your Guts” in which Hamm and host James Corden traded turns either eating gross things or answering embarrassing questions. Early rounds saw Corden eat tarantula rather than name his least-favorite guest and Hamm drink a…

It’s October, which means The A.V. Club is swept up in our annual hunt for all things thrilling, chilling, or some combination of the two. In at least one instance, the horrors have found us: On October 24, we’ll be in New York sponsoring an evening of “speculative, spooky, sensational stories” curated by AVC favorite…

Sandwiched between The Wedding Singer and Big Daddy, 1998's The Waterboy was a fitfully amusing flick that nevertheless served as a harbinger of Adam Sandler’s decline in the realm studio comedies. Though still infused the colorful absurdity of his early work, the movie finds Sandler eschewing the man-child antics of …

You’re the big winner! Using a complex series of algorithms and convoluted calculations, we here at The A.V. Club have determined that you’ve worked very hard this week and are, in fact, in need of a break. So, we’ve procured this new video from Wired that features comedy phenoms John Mulaney and Nick Kroll…

Pro-Trump dating apps aren’t just real, they’re deeply necessary. Several have popped up over the years, and they’re all terrible. Trump.Dating, for example, made headlines when it was revealed that the face of the service had a child sex conviction. Well, in the wake of that site’s failings comes Donald Daters, an…

Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus make records that seemingly flaunt their loneliness to make the listener feel less alone. Devastatingly honest, each singer-songwriter’s most recent record—Baker’s Turn Out The Lights, Bridgers’ Stranger In The Alps, and Dacus’ Historian, all out in the past year or…

The Hero’s Edition of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild—Creating a Champion looks like it’ll be the ultimate holiday gift this year for the Zelda fan with everything, and preorders just got marked down to $60, from the usual $100. And if you order now and it gets any cheaper prior to release, you’ll…

Autumn is upon us, and with it comes the fuzzy warmth of flannel, the intoxicating tang of hot cider, and the audible pop of logs on a flaming hearth. It’s romantic enough to soften even the hardest hearts, as it seems to have done for pop culture’s weirdest couple: Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk and indie pop star…

Amanda “Livewire” McGee has long been one of Valiant Comics’ most compelling characters, a woman who forged a heroic path for herself after discovering that the cause she devoted her life to was less noble than she thought. She was a member of the Unity superhero team, led her own group of superpowered individuals in…

As the horror genre becomes ever more mainstream, we here at The A.V. Club imagine that there are more of you than ever looking for something creepy to watch this Halloween season. And with streaming services on a similar upward cultural trajectory, we’re guessing that many, if not most, of you won’t be watching that…

After a week off to rest, recuperate, and drink nothing but absinthe (according to himself), Stephen Colbert returned to The Late Show on Monday to find that, yup, America is still getting dumber. Apart from the simple fact that racist simpleton Donald Trump is still in the White House (like, as president, even),…

A great deal can happen in seven years. In its seven seasons on The CW, Arrow has seen a lot of villains, storylines, and themes come and go. Almost every major character on the show has either been pretend dead, presumed dead, almost dead, it-was-only-a-dream dead, actually dead and brought back to life, actually…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, October 16. All times are Eastern.

According to a report from Ars Technica, the weird UFO research group/art collective co-founded by former Blink-182 member Tom DeLonge known as To The Stars Academy has dug itself a $37.4 million deficit, bringing its longterm viability as a weird UFO research group/art collective into question. The organization is…

Welcome to Headline Mad Libs, the regular A.V. Club feature where we assemble a random selection of words that definitely have nothing to do with each other. Jake Gyllenhaal, Jamie Lee Curtis, and a mountain? Crazy and hilarious.
