Just a few hours ago, we reported that Vince Gilligan was developing a Breaking Bad movie about “the escape of a kidnapped man and his quest for freedom.” That was literally all we knew, but now /Film has “confirmed” that the kidnapped man is none other than Aaron Paul’s Jesse Pinkman and that the plot of the movie…

James Wolk has been in a lot of things. The guy’s had roles in Billions, Shameless, Political Animals, Zoo, and something called Tell Me A Story that mixes fairy tales with Trump (don’t ask). But no one associates his name with those shows. Instead, Wolk’s career has been linked to three small words, the now-universal…

Free bacon. Forever. Do I have your attention?

11 years ago, a TV show called The 4400 mysteriously disappeared from the USA Network, leaving behind no evidence for what possibly could’ve happened—other than, you know, declining ratings and all of the other explanations that networks use to justify ending shows. Now, though, The 4400 has miraculously returned at…

Thanksgiving’s always been an integral part of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 experience, as its annual Turkey Day marathon has long provided an outlet for those turkey-stuffed few who’d rather yell at movies than sports. The marathon’s still on for this year, but it’s coming just a touch early in order to make way…

Carey Mulligan isn’t sure how she became what she jokingly calls a “serious, important” actress. “I’m completely not a serious person,” she tells us on the phone from London. Perhaps it was her start in costume dramas like the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice and the BBC miniseries of Charles Dickens’ Bleak House.…

Despite ostensibly being low-stakes spin-offs of the Harry Potter series, the Fantastic Beasts movies have already displayed a surprising knack for big shake-ups to Wizarding World lore. The first movie had its big Grindelwald reveal right at the end, and we’ve already seen that Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of…

Adam Sandler’s new Netflix special, 100% Fresh, seems to have awoken something in comedy fans of a certain age. Suddenly, grown adults who long ago put aside silly voices and potty humor are remembering, “Hey, Adam Sandler is great.” With that in mind, it seems a good a time as any to revisit some of the comedian’s…

HBO doesn’t really need George R.R. Martin anymore, do they? Like, Game Of Thrones is wrapping up early next year and Martin himself has admitted that he’s not all that involved in its spin-offs. What the author has created is now its own self-sustaining engine, one that will continue to chug along whether he finishes …

It’s been a decade since Will Ferrell’s Brennan Huff and John C. Reilly’s Dale Doback went from heated rivals to best buds in Step Brothers. Both actors have floated the idea of reuniting their step siblings for a sequel to Adam McKay’s 2008 comedy over the years, but all three have been busy with other projects; you…

Kid Rock, most of us are thankful to know, was never actually running for Senate. Though both material and psychological damage has already been done by the mere idea of his candidacy, we were previously able to imagine that the world had begun to heal after learning that his bizarre performance art bid was never…

You know what? Forget everything I said about Colin Belfast in the last review. Who cares if he’s a rotten boss? What he does in this episode is so, so much worse than anything he’s yet done in his position as Heidi’s supervisor at Geist. You may feel the need to shower after watching this episode. Heidi sure should.

Hanson, the architects behind “MMMBop,” one of the ‘90s best and most hated pop songs, are thriving. Just listen to them on Geoff Edgers’ Edge Of Fame podcast, wherein the interviewer documents the brothers’ sharp business acumen and big-hearted approach to family. Successful as they are, however, they’re not above…

If Walt Disney Animation built its reputation on fairy tales and princesses, is upstart animation house Illumination founded on supervillains? Four of its first eight cartoons are part of the Despicable Me family, detailing the adventures of a bad guy (reformed by his adoption of three girls) and his chattering minions

Walt Disney once mused that it’s “kind of fun to do the impossible,” so it’s likely the animation mogul would’ve been impressed by last year’s reports that fully-autonomous vehicles could soon be shuttling passengers around the amusement park in Florida that bears his name. Driverless cars are, after all, one of the…

Hitting theaters this Friday, Hannah Fidell’s new movie, The Long Dumb Road, stars Jason Mantzoukas and Tony Revolori as an unlikely pair who wind up on a wild road trip across the country. In honor of the new movie, Revolori shared some of his favorite road trip memories.

Dennis Hof came to national prominence not as a Mike Love impersonator, but rather as the overseer of a legal Nevada brothel on HBO’s Cathouse reality series. And, as reality TV’s essence slowly consumed our nation’s collective values and countenance, the brothel owner rightfully saw himself as exactly the kind of…

While gerrymandering wreaks enough havoc on the American democratic system to sufficiently undermine elections on its own, that doesn’t mean we can’t blame foreign agents for homegrown ills, too. As much attention as has been made paid to nefarious Russian plots, though, the nation has overlooked another deeply…

One of the great joys of reading graphic memoirs is seeing how artists imbue real everyday encounters with energy and expression, using their creativity to enrich the mundane. In her new Drawn & Quarterly graphic memoir, Blame This On The Boogie, Rina Ayuyang details her time growing up as a Filipina-American in…

AMC’s still making solid TV in these post-Mad Men times—watch Lodge 49!—but the network’s star is nowhere near as bright it was during that early ‘10s golden age. Their solution? Exploit what works, as they plan to do with a trilogy of Walking Dead movies. Now, Sony Pictures Television looks to do the same with…

For more than a decade, DC’s Green Lantern and its adjacent titles have doubled down on space opera, presenting the alien police force as a cosmic army rather than a group of individual cops fighting crime in their own individual sectors. That changes with The Green Lantern, which assembles a team of superhero comic…

If you were someone who thought it wise to record every late-night show’s live election coverage of the midterm elections on Tuesday, you should be finished catching up right . . . about . . . Friday. Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, and Trevor Noah all went live to run down the results, implications,…

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately thinking about myself and my sexuality and my romantic self. I can log on and easily find someone to fuck. I’m a bear-built top guy. There are ladies in my life who choose to share their beds with me. I can find subs to tie up and torture. (I’m kinky and bi.) What I can’t find…

Proving that not even Hollywood awards shows—generally regarded as being several dead elephants’ worth of ready-made ivory tower, just rarin’ to go—are immune to America’s current political disgruntlement, horror producer Jason Blum reportedly found himself booed and pulled from the stage in the middle of an…
