We’re doing something a little different this week: Since tomorrow is Election Day in the U.S., and because we here at The A.V.

A new film from Oscar-winning director Steve McQueen is always an event, and his latest, the female-led heist thriller Widows, is especially so.

MTV has locked eyes with another piece of IP from its not-too-distant past, and will soon be pulling it into the dorm room where it’s been feverishly making out with those reboots of Daria, Æon Flux, and The Real World.

Because it’s a day of the week ending in “-day,” there’s once more exhausting news about something terrible related to the Trump administration.

Anyone who’s lived through a traumatic event can tell you just how difficult it often is to address it directly. What they can’t always tell you? The degree to which that same trauma is present in every other moment of their lives.

A woman walks into a private investigator’s office with a case. She’s not from around here, and she’s clearly trouble, but the investigator takes the job anyway. It won’t stay professional, of course. The two will wind up romantically entangled even as the job brings up parts of the investigator’s past that he’d…

“Chapter 72" opens with a time jump, one long enough for Doug Stamper to grow a bushy Beard of Sadness and for the world’s longest pregnancy to finally begin to show as Claire now boasts a noticeable baby bump. Stamper has taken a turn for the Shakespearean, muttering monologues as he digs up a grave in the desert.…

As valuable as escapist entertainment can be, people need to be paying attention to the pressing real-world issues that are shaping/destroying the world. Vertigo’s Border Town engages with serious themes of racism, xenophobia, immigration, and cultural identity, but it has a playful, fantastic spirit that makes it a…

With the midterm elections coming up tomorrow, John Oliver had plenty of topics to work with when it came to spurring his audience to vote on whether or not Donald fucking Trump’s America is something they really want to support. Presumably spinning the wheel of bigotry, attacks on civil and voting rights, sexual…

Tonight’s Bob’s Burgers has no business hanging together as well as it does. The episode begins with Mr. Frond press-ganging the Belcher children into appearing in his empathy music video. Instead, of say, exploring what the Belchers must do to live down this indignity and earn back the respect—well, probably not…

The other day, while channel-surfing, I stumbled across Martin Scorsese’s 1973 breakthrough film Mean Streets, a movie I’ve seen about a half-dozen times—and have loved since I first watched it on a VHS tape about 30 years ago. Thanks to TV shows like The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, and,…
