After years as a beloved stand-up, unsettling Saturday morning cartoon character, and occasional game show host, Louie Anderson is finally getting a little respect in the entertainment business. A lot of that has to do with his co-starring role on FX’s weirdly affecting clown dramedy Baskets, where Anderson commits so…

Forget all of the vague comments about finality, we now have some real details about what’s going to happen in one beloved Game Of Thrones character’s final scene—though the details are, naturally, pretty vague. This is courtesy of The Guardian, which sat down with Maisie Williams to talk about her new role in a…

This week, FX’s American Horror Story: Apocalypse finally (finally) returned to Murder House, the setting of the show’s solid first season, and American Horror Story staple Sarah Paulson made her directorial debut with the landmark episode. Variety talked to Paulson about what it was like to direct for the series, and…

The Degenerates, a six-part standup series from Netflix, promises to explore the “coarse and salacious side of comedy” when it premieres later this month. Joey Diaz, Big Jay Oakerson, Liza Treyger, Yamaneika Saunders, Brad Williams, and Christina P will each anchor their own 30-minute set across its six episodes,…

Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of Dracula gets too much shit. While it’s good and proper to make fun of Keanu Reeves’ mind-boggling accent as Jonathan Harker, most of the other criticisms levied at the movie—that its plot is messy and its characters too broad—are actually pretty true to the original Bram Stoker…

As the Property Brothers, Jonathan and Drew Scott anchor HGTV’s lineup of “shows you watch with Mom on Thanksgiving.” They’ve built a veritable empire, with their namesake program having spun off into shows like Brother vs. Brother and Property Brothers: At Home. Now, the boys hope to rehab Fox’s lame-duck comedy…

The trailer for the Wreck-It Ralph sequel makes it seem like all of the Disney princesses are friends, but now Kristen Bell—Frozen’s Princess Anna—has pointed out that some of those old princess stories haven’t exactly aged well. Specifically, she told Parents that she loves reading to her daughters every night, but…

We’ve enjoyed watching Jonah Hill’s progression as an actor over the years, from a comedic bit player in The 40-Year-Old Virgin to an honest-to-goodness leading man. Now, Hill is embarking on a new venture: His directorial debut. That film, the coming-of-age tale/ode to ‘90s skater culture Mid90s, opens in select…

Romantic comedies were once the realm of homogenous blockbusters: You’d have a stacked deck of Sandra Bullocks, Reese Witherspoons, Julia Robertses, and Jennifer Garners on one side, and some Hugh Grants, Mark Ruffalos, Matthew McConaugheys, and Vince Vaughns on the other. Shuffle and deal. The star…

Blumhouse Productions is a wildly successful studio that’s served to both revive mainstream culture’s interest in boundary-pushing genre and foster up-and-coming filmmakers like Jordan Peele and Damien Chazelle. It was a tad disconcerting, then, when head honcho Jason Blum responded to a question of why the studio has…

The third season of Marvel’s Daredevil finds the series and its hero getting back to basics. New showrunner Erik Oleson (of Arrow and The Man In The High Castle) sends Matt Murdock, a.k.a The Devil Of Hell’s Kitchen (Charlie Cox), back to the streets—and rooftops—of the city he’s sworn to protect, trading the…

Anticipation for Disney’s upcoming Lion King remake has been slowly building since late last year when the film’s unbelievably stacked cast list was announced. Now, courtesy of director Jon Favreau, we’ve got our first behind-the-scenes look at a portion of said cast in action. Donald Glover, Billy Eichner, and Seth…

Logan Paul, the internet personality too shitty for even YouTube to countenance, has returned. This isn’t the first time he’s come back, of course. Ever since uploading footage of a suicide victim late last year, Paul has been trying to rehabilitate his image in an effort to get his ad revenue flowing again. A slight…

If there is one thing that binds all modern humans, it’s our collective desire for More Content. As such, it seemed only natural to keep our maws stuffed with the stuff, as Lucasfilm demonstrated with its abundance of Star Wars films, spin-offs, TV shows, and animated projects. “No more Star Wars,” we soon cried, our…

Is Banksy, anonymous art provocateur, the troll? Or is he, in fact, the one being trolled by an art community that celebrates notoriety more than artistic merit? He certainly tried to be the former when he self-destructed a print of his “Girl With Balloon” just moments after it was purchased at a London Sotheby’s for…

Overcooked 2, the sequel to the friendship forging and/or destroying Overcooked, is discounted on Switch for the first time. Download the full game for just $20, down from the usual $25.

With the most pivotal midterm elections in a long, long time coming up on November 6, Samantha Bee took some time on Wednesday’s baseball game-delayed Full Frontal to examine how both political parties are approaching the sacred institution of free and fair elections with equal degrees of impartiality, fair play, and…

After last week’s relatively strong premiere, Riverdale keeps the momentum going with “Chapter Thirty-Seven: Fortune and Men’s Eyes.” And this episode truly is non-stop tonal shifts, as the culmination of Archie’s terrible, no good, very bad summer is a walk in the park compared to the Dark Dungeons-esque mystery…

American Horror Story, like all good horror stories, has built its brand on the scary twist. The call was coming from inside the house. The boy was a ghost all along. So it was jarring when this week stacked on multiple quietly sweet moments. Sure, there was plenty of throat slitting and hailing Satan. But in the end,…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, October 18. All times are Eastern.

Based on history, “Tegridy Farms” had a very good chance of being a great episode. Three of the best shows from South Park’s last ten years are “Butters’ Bottom Bitch,” “Medicinal Fried Chicken,” and “Crack Baby Basketball Association,” and this episode combined elements of all of them. The result was an episode that…

After spending much of last week’s episode indulging in rather meaningless storylines, this week’s episode of Modern Family, “Torn Between Two Lovers,” gets back to one of the season’s predominant bits of conflict, which is the love triangle developing between Haley, her boyfriend Arvin, and her old and incredibly…

“That’s what you do when you start getting old. You start reliving the glory days because you can’t think of anything new to do.”

It’s been a likely possibility for a while now that Orange Is The New Black’s sentence might almost be up; the Netflix series is coming to the end of its current three-season order, and ended last year’s run—its sixth—by finally seeing Piper Chapman get released from jail to become the deeply privileged decorative …

In what seems a little like the TV equivalent of releasing an album of “new” music shortly after a musician’s death, ABC has begun developing a pilot for an NYPD Blue sequel series just over six months after the death of NYPD Blue co-creator Steven Bochco. This comes from Variety, which says the new show will revolve…
