In August, some irresponsible pop culture website reported that there was increasingly strong evidence supporting a theory that Vampire Weekend was getting ready to release some new music before the end of September. It’s been five years since Modern Vampires Of The City came out, so we’re all excited to see what…

Bigfoot was all the rage a few years back, with Exists and Willow Creek both mining horror from the monster’s considerable mythos. Now, Laika, the stop-motion studio behind innovative flicks like Coraline and Kubo And The Two Strings, is bringing a comic edge to Sasquatch. Missing Link comes from ParaNorman director…

Sussane Bier has an Oscar, an Emmy, and a Golden Globe under her belt, but the Danish filmmaker may have just scored her highest-profile gig yet as the director of David E. Kelley and Nicole Kidman’s The Undoing.

Netflix has been all about anime over the last few years, adding a bunch of well-known anime hits like Fullmetal Alchemist alongside purposefully obscure originals like Neo Yokio, and the streaming service clearly has no intention of ditching its anime fans. According to Deadline, Netflix has just announced five new…

Even by video game standards, the basic story beats of Sonic The Hedgehog that can be inferred from his original 1991 Sega Genesis adventure are some crazy bullshit. He is, as his name implies, a hedgehog with a compulsion to go fast. He collects rings and Chaos Emeralds to stand in general opposition to Dr. Robotnik…

Back in 2012, Creed singer Scott Stapp told VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live about the time rapper and reality show star T.I. saved him from what he described as a suicide attempt, after he jumped off of a Delano Hotel balcony in Miami during a drug binge in 2006. But now, Stapp says that while T.I. was basically his…

Talk show host and comedian Dennis Miller has become something like the American right’s leading comic in recent years.

Conan O’Brien will debut his new, 30-minute version of Conan when it returns to TBS next year, and in the meantime he’s both embarking on his first live tour since 2010 and launching a podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, which we’ve just learned will feature a guest lineup worthy of the host’s pedigree.

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s Rob McElhenney has gone to some pretty extreme lengths for the sake of a joke. Back in season 7, he gained nearly 60 pounds because he thought it would be funny if his character looked worse as the seasons wore on. McElhenney has since pushed himself to the other end of the spectrum…

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.

Fans of The Good Place have a forkin’ good reason to celebrate: Kirby Howell-Baptiste will be reuniting with Kristen Bell in a recurring role for Hulu’s long awaited revival of Veronica Mars, which will premiere in 2019.

Outside of last week’s solid outing, this has been a predictably weak season of Saturday Night Live, with the show lacking the fangs to rip any resonant comedy out of our absurd times. Maybe that’ll change on November 17, when Oscar nominee and professional funny person Steve Carell steps in for his third hosting gig.…

It was Søren Kierkegaard who said that “life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” And it is Søren Kierkegaard who, 163 years after his death, is about to be proven wrong. Dutch entrepreneur Emile Ratelband, a “self-help guru” who describes himself as a “young god,” has informed a…

The internet has encouraged fans of upcoming movies and TV shows to get downright obsessive about promotional material. Case in point: a nice tweet from Brie Larson, the star of upcoming superhero movie Captain Marvel, telling Americans to go vote in this week’s midterm elections.

“I don’t know what’s going on. Do you?” Set to the awkward background soundtrack of Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet,” Heidi’s question to her mother succinctly describes not just the first half of this series, but an apt slogan for the worst results of the Homecoming project.

Jon Favreau’s Disney adaptation of The Jungle Book drew solid reviews when it landed in 2016, and now a new Netflix adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s adventure is hoping to reap some of that goodwill. Rohan Chand stars as the title character in Mowgli: Legend Of The Jungle, which features voice work from an ensemble…

Dial M For Maple has been dreaming of a Riverdale flashback episode since the early days of the podcast, and the show has finally delivered with “The Midnight Club.” But does this throwback get swallowed by the hype, or can it be saved by the bell? Hosts Marah and Cameron discuss their favorite…

No matter how great your PC or phone is, something will inevitably go wrong one day. The “Right to Repair” movement has been gaining considerable traction lately, and with the right knowledge and equipment, you can fix a whole lot of things yourself. Here are some essential items every DIY gadget geek should have in…

Eric D. Johnson was stranded. When he called the The A.V. Club from a rental-car counter in Atlanta, the facility was fresh out of cars, bringing a sudden halt to a long day of travel for the singer-songwriter who’s been recording under the Fruit Bats moniker since 1997. Johnson was stranded, but not without support:…

What’s the ideal scenario for a “good” episode of Modern Family in its tenth season? The show is never going to reach the heights of its strongest seasons, the ones that made it a massive hit during its earliest days, but there’s usually still a few surprises with each new seasom. A few weeks ago the show said goodbye…

Homecoming presents a captivating mystery, aided by an unnerving, sometimes jarring score. Across its 10 extremely bingeable episodes, Homecoming’s music is borrowed from some 45 film scores, lending their own historical and emotional resonance to a show that traffics in forgetting and remembering the past. And while…

On a day when the press became the story—that of an unhinged, panicky bully berating and eventually banning reporters for asking questions he didn’t like—Stephen Colbert was lucky enough to have booked a journalist who was on the ground for all the action. CBS White House correspondent Major Garrett was on The Late…

There’s a line from a John Mulaney bit that seems strangely fitting for tonight’s episode, and a lot of TV today- “This might as well happen.” It might be easy to think that with a season that relies heavily not only on the existence of an Antichrist with a My So-Called Life level of teenage angst but a cyborg Kathy…
