In an era where not even the biggest blockbusters are safe from the perils of shitty Photoshop, it’s nice to know that Mondo is around. Founded in 2004, the Austin-based company keeps the lost art of hand-painted movie posters alive—albeit in a more boutique form—with original, limited-edition prints featuring for…

No one is entirely themselves on social media. But what if a clone of your online persona turned into an independent entity, posted to your followers, and caused chaos in your real life? If that sounds like a Lynchian head-trip meets a fucked-up Black Mirror premise, that’s precisely what Netflix is going for with Cam.

The only real connection between SpongeBob SquarePants and The Office is that they’re TV shows starring at least one character apiece who wears a tie. Otherwise, there is absolutely no reason to expect the two series to intersect in any way—and certainly no precedent for a clip to exist of SpongeBob voice actors…

Earlier this year, a video was released depicting a number of local news teams—all owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group—reading in unison from a script of right-wing talking points. It was deeply disconcerting, and remains so in light of our current administration sharing a doctored video to justify the barring of a…

2013's WNUF Halloween Special is a light, kitschy throwback to the VHS era, shot to look like a local news broadcast circa 1987 and directed and co-written by a team led by Chris LaMartina. The film follows Frank Stewart, a local news reporter who investigates a supposedly haunted house on live TV. The house was the…

Sure, the third season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars saw Trixie Mattel snatch away a crown meant for Shangela, but it’s time to tuck it up and move on. (Shangie is, after all, starring in movies with Lady Gaga now.) Today, Entertainment Weekly revealed the latest batch of queens to return for a second shot at drag…

The year 2018 is full of strange sights. There’s a computer-generated news anchor in China. Elon Musk is asking people for dank memes on Twitter. Perhaps you have heard about American politics. And yet there is still little that can prepare you for this video of the Wu-Tang Clan performing “Protect Ya Neck” on Good…

“We have a spectacle,” announces King Edward (Stephen Dillane) in the middle of both an England-Scotland peace brokering and a long, circling-camera take that opens Outlaw King. This exposition-heavy early scene, which includes in its unbroken shot Robert The Bruce (Chris Pine) sword-dueling with an opponent who…

This week’s question comes from reader Karen Greagor:

As the reinvigorated Star Trek franchise prepares for the launch of its Next Generation continuation series, CBS All Access is whetting appetites with a series of short films based around Star Trek: Discovery. While three of the four shorts focus on established Discovery characters, the one written by Pulitzer…

Netflix, it was nice knowing you. A new streaming service is about to enter the ring to dropkick every other platform and cable TV provider, and it goes by the name of Disney+.

Hugo and Nebula award-winner The Forever War remains timeless, and you can get a Kindle copy for just $3 today. If you’ve never read it, I really can’t recommend it highly enough, especially if you want to walk around with a dead, hollowed out look behind your dead eyes for a few days while you ponder it all.

As anyone who grew up in the internet age will tell you, there is a big difference between being internet-famous and being real-world-famous. Take, for example, the LA band Threatin. You’ve likely never heard of them and yet they have tens of thousands of likes on their Facebook page, thousands of views on their …

There’s a lot of music out there. To help you cut through all the noise, every week The A.V. Club is rounding up A-Sides, five recent releases we think are worth your time.

The new season of Stranger Things, a show whose last season released more than a year ago, isn’t set to arrive on Netflix until next summer. This wait has made the series’ fans so ravenous for new information that they’ve started trying to gather facts from any possible source, including the 19th century’s favorite…

Homecoming, Amazon’s new drama, is notable for being the first TV show to be adapted from a scripted podcast. But once you settle in to watch the show itself, you’re hit with the score: mostly creeping, paranoid songs lifted from the scores of ’70s thrillers like The Conversation and The Parallax View; orchestral…

Jason Mantzoukas is one of the most reliably funny comedic actors working today, bringing a wide-eyed intensity to every performance. His new film, The Long Dumb Road is apparently no exception. Directed by Hannah Fidell, the film stars Mantzoukas opposite Tony Revolori as an unlikely pair who wind up on a wild road…

After repeatedly biting it on both film and TV, Sean Bean is bringing his ability to memorably die onscreen to a new medium: Video games. Bean is your first target in the upcoming Hitman 2, and the actor is well-aware of how his reputation precedes him.

Cosmic Ghost Rider has proven to be one of Marvel’s most popular new characters, but his appeal goes beyond the cool factor of seeing Frank Castle become the future Spirit of Vengeance. By having the Punisher serve as an agent of Mephisto, a herald of Galactus, and the slave of Thanos, Donny Cates has made Cosmic…

God bless the quiet dignity of Shea Whigham’s Thomas Carrasco. The man can get the runaround from practically everyone he speaks to, endure gentle mockery and sneering condescension alike, but still stand stolid in the face of such scorn—and even hang up on his boss mid-dressing down. You go, Thomas.

In the six episodes leading up to this one, each story has treated the titular Romanoff bloodline like a vestigial limb —a thing that may have had purpose at some point, but as it is now is simply a curiosity. “Panorama” is the first episode to explore how royal lineage may be a problem. Both literally, as an agent of…

Luca Guadagnino is one of our most celebrated modern directors, with his work on movies like 2015’s A Bigger Splash, last year’s Call Me By Your Name, and this year’s Suspiria remake anointing him as one of Hollywood’s chosen few. But, as Call Me By Your Name star Timothée Chalamet revealed in a recent interview, even…
