Now that Jamie Lee Curtis has dealt with one infamous murderer this Halloween season, she’s turned around and teamed up with another: Rian Johnson, a.k.a. the man who killed Star Wars (depending on which spit-flecked Twitter rants or Russian anger robots you listen to, anyway). Variety reports that Curtis has signed…

The week before Halloween is horror-movie season. But what could be scarier than the B-list action movies of Gerard Butler, which present us with a world where the lives of millions or even billions have been put in Gerard Butler’s hands? In Hunter Killer, our scowliest movie star plays a submarine captain who is, …

Seeing as how it’s an iconic institution controlled by a secretive, unstoppable corporation, it’s easy to understand why Walt Disney World has its own collection of urban legends (supposedly there are hidden Mickey Mouse shapes everywhere, but that’s simply too wild to believe). One of the most infamous myths…

Burning simmers. For nearly two-and-a-half perfectly measured hours, it turns up the heat without boiling over: a drama becoming a thriller in slow motion, intensifying little by little minute by minute, until finally it reaches a shocking, powerful crescendo. True to its title, this film of multiple motifs and…

What should have been a disquieting horror movie about a desperate, divorced father’s deceptive means of spying on his children turned into 1993's Mrs. Doubtfire, a heartwarming comedy starring Robin Williams. Despite it centering around an out-of-work actor’s plan to lord over kids by dressing up as an old, rotund…

Megyn Kelly, the Fox News expat who has now become the NBC personality we all love to grumble about, has had a week. It all started on Tuesday when she was shocked—shocked—to learn that it’s bad when white people put on blackface, a stunning display of ignorance/racism that got Kelly called out by her own colleagues…

In the early ’90s, South Africa was on the brink of a full-blown civil war. Tensions between the white colonial government and the black population were blowing up into bloody conflicts—violence that intensified when Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 years, signaling the death knell of the apartheid…

Natalie Portman stars as an aging pop star named Celeste in actor-turned-director Brady Corbet’s Vox Lux, which premiered to strong reviews last month at the Toronto International Film Festival. Following a teaser, the movie has now received a full trailer highlighting Celeste’s attempted comeback in the wake of…

Last week, we reported on CBS All Access’s careful strategy for its Star Trek revival, which began in earnest with Star Trek: Discovery and will continue with a Next Generation sequel series starring Patrick Stewart. Now, the next project in its quest to steal some intergalactic real estate from Star Wars has been…

As Rick And Morty’s sole composer, Ryan Elder has been responsible for the show’s most iconic and moving musical moments. Because we’re huge fans of his, Elder invited us over to his L.A. studio to talk about his personal favorite musical moments from the show’s history.

What would you do with a giant print of Joaquin Phoenix’s face? Like, for real. Would you paint clown makeup on it and turn it into a one-of-a-kind DIY poster for Joker? Would you frame it in one of those Banksy shredders so it automatically gets destroyed if a corporation tries to put a value on true art? Would you…

HBO shows rarely seem to get canned after only a single season, since doing that undermines the way the network presents itself as an infallible hit-maker, but it’s even rarer that HBO renews a series for a second season, admits it made a mistake, and then cancels it anyway. Unfortunately, such was the sad story of Vinyl

Yes, you read that headline correctly. The lovable, wrinkly extra-terrestrial you remember from your childhood was not so lovable after all. In fact, this bug-eyed space creature may have been the scariest villain in cinema history. At least, that’s the theory being put forward in a new Medium article by Rob Bricken…

While our current, social media-infused age means that there’s a good chance most people will have their first experience with weed thoroughly documented and shared for posterity, older generations have had to let these memories fade away with the passage of time. One middle-aged Utah lawmaker, though, has shown it’s…

Liam Neeson’s wintry new action film has been on our radars for a while now. The prospect of seeing his “honest snowplow driver” take on a Tesla-driving vegan drug dealer named Viking sounded too good to be true. Well, it turns out it gets even better. Not only is Neeson’s character named “Nels Coxman,” but the film’s…

Pete Holmes has spent the last few years crafting the delightful, low-stakes gem that is HBO’s Crashing. The half-hour comedy was recently renewed for a third season, but prior to its return he’ll take the stage for a new stand-up special, his first since 2016's Faces And Sounds.

As we get older, Halloween gets a bit more sinister—just look at the current crop of jump scares in multiplexes right now. But for kids, Halloween remains more purely fun than scary, and the only thing that edges the year-end holidays ahead of the spooky season is the presents. So with the big day less than a week…

Robert De Niro hasn’t been shy to denounce our messy president as “a fucking fool,” not-so-cleverly labeling him the “jerk-off in chief.” But, as Trump himself chose not to learn this week, words matter, and the consequences for executing one’s first amendment rights, it appears, is death by explosion. This morning,…

It may be the least surprising film news of the day, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t a little bit disappointed to finally get confirmation of what was long suspected: George Miller isn’t going to be making those next Mad Max movies anytime soon.

Red Dead Redemption 2, the Dyson Ball Animal Complete, and Gerber knives lead off Thursday’s best deals from around the web.

The wide open western vistas and dynamic horse balls of Red Dead Redemption 2 deserve to be enjoyed on one of the new, more powerful consoles, and Walmart’s making it awfully tempting to upgrade to an Xbox One X today.

Red Dead Redemption 2 begins in a fog of white light. It’s viscous, thick enough to cut. As Arthur Morgan, resident muscle for the Dutch Van der Linde gang, you begin the game hightailing out of a heist gone awry and shacked up in the mountains, a perilous expanse painted in sheets of blinding white snow. During the…

On a day where some MAGA moron attempted murderer put out a thankfully inept hit on literally every one of Donald Trump’s favorite vilified Democrats and number one news target CNN, Samantha Bee was a little fired up. On Wednesday’s Full Frontal, Bee spent some time on Trump’s cut-and-paste clip job of a presidential…

American Horror Story is down to its final four episodes, and so far this season is proving to be a kind of enjoyable mix tape. There’s plenty of greatest hits that while enjoyable, don’t really add up to a cohesive whole.

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, October 25. All times are Eastern.
