Sony’s animated Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse won’t even be released until December 14, but the overwhelmingly positive response to the trailers has apparently convinced the studio to start moving forward with even more animated Spidey movies. It’s a little early to say that Sony is back on its old Spider-Man …

Ted Cruz should be happy. Earlier this month, following a hard-fought campaign, he secured a second term as Senator, besting Democratic hopeful and reluctant sexual icon Beto O’Rourke. He should, in theory, be on top of the world. So, why does Ted Cruz look like he was just fired from his part-time job at GameStop for…

If there’s one 2018 series that we (and just about every other TV critic out there) want you to watch, it’s Killing Eve, one of our favorite shows of the year thus far. Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s serial-killer story is as cutting as it is funny, but, until now, the BBC America series hasn’t been available for streaming. …

Eoin Colfer’s Artemis Fowl books aren’t the most famous entries in the YA canon, but they are based around a clever conceit: The eponymous Artemis Fowl is essentially a pre-teen Lex Luthor, utilizing his family’s vast fortune to wage war on magical creatures he hates/fears. The premise of the first book is that…

Most great filmmakers stumble eventually, and they often do so in a particularly dispiriting way: attempting to rehash a previous triumph. Before winning two foreign-language Oscars (for A Separation and The Salesman), Iran’s Asghar Farhadi made a splash on the festival circuit with 2009’s About Elly, in which the…

Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of Nickelodeon’s zeitgeist-defining cartoon series SpongeBob SquarePants, has died at age 57, per Variety. He was diagnosed with ALS last year.

It’s been a few years since we last heard from her, but Amanda Bynes is back, baby! The former teen actor is the subject of a new Paper magazine profile, but don’t worry—things are going pretty swell for the previously troubled star. And while she’s mostly famous for starring in teen and tween projects like What A…

There are a lot of reasons why “San Junipero” is a lot of people’s favorite Black Mirror episode. First and foremost, it has a happy, triumphant ending, as opposed to oppressively bleak conclusions of its predecessors. Second, it’s a love story, and who doesn’t like those? Third, despite the fact that those first two…

In a treat for long-time Disney fans, every princess from the studio’s history returned to the big screen in a scene from Ralph Breaks The Internet, where Princess Vanellope von Schweetz (voiced by Sarah Silverman) bonds with the group over their shared princess-related traumas. Most of the original voice actors…

On Monday, the U.S. Forest Service released a video showing the exact moment when a family’s gender reveal party resulted in a massive wildfire that ignited roughly 47,000 acres of Arizona grasslands.

Less than a few months after announcing it intended to unspool C.S. Lewis’ Narnia universe in full, Netflix has now announced it will be animating just about every major title in the library of beloved children’s author Roald Dahl. That includes Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The BFG, The Twits, and, at…

John McPhail’s horror-comedy-musical Anna And The Apocalypse seems like an easy sell for a new crop of genre fans raised on the pop tunes and twee melodrama of High School Musical. The film stars a host of young unknowns with bright, clear voices, mostly untarnished by any hint of personality, though that exuberant…

Jameela Jamil, who’s been known to critique the ultra-powerful, has often spoken out against what she calls “double agents of the patriarchy,” or women who profit off selling a patriarchal narrative to other women. Now, The Good Place actress has found a pitch-perfect illustration of her critique in the celebrities…

The first half of Alice Rohrwacher’s Happy As Lazzaro unfolds in a sharecropping tobacco farm known as Inviolata, its name (literally, “inviolate”) redolent of a place pure and untouched, sheltered from the ravages of time. When the film opens, an electric light bulb—that enduring marker of human progress—is being…

The Walking Dead is a punishingly inconsistent series, but even those who shuffled off ages ago know that its finales—midseason or otherwise—are good for a surprising death or two. That’s typically enough to draw those wayward souls back in for a spell, but it appears the recent departures of Andrew Lincoln and Lauren…

A24, the little film studio that is kicking an unholy amount of ass these days, has a roster of recent films that would be the envy of nearly any producer on the planet. From Lady Bird to The Florida Project to Ex Machina and more, its library is fantastic—and you can already watch it for free.

No sane, decent person could get through this year without experiencing at least a few flashes of rage or despair. Both are integral, of course, to the emotional language of heavy metal. In 2018, the genre provided a sturdy soundtrack to our collective meltdown, offering commiseration by the blast beat and power…

Hey, the world’s on fire. No, not in a metaphorical, a Russian asset reality show clown has the nuclear codes sort of way, but actually on fire. At least that’s the conclusion reached by hundreds of scientists from 13 government agencies in a four-year study that outlines, in truly terrifying detail, just how on fire…

Legends is on quite a hot streak. By my extremely precise calculations, there hasn’t been an episode that could even kind of be considered a dud since season three’s “Amazing Grace”—an episode which, you’ll remember, includes one of Legends’ best-ever gags in an episode-ending tribute to Axl the rat. “Tender Is The…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, November 20. All times are Eastern.

It’s hard not to love Kyle MacLachlan, if only for how damn great he is in Twin Peaks and Portlandia, and while it would be completely fucking stupid to ever elect another goddamn celebrity to any public office just because we liked them on a TV show, we have to admit that the idea of President Kyle MacLachlan would…

You walk to work every day. You see the same things, the same people; you utter the same greetings, catch the same scents on the air. It’s right there in front of you, all the time, but you don’t really see it anymore, and even when it catches your eye, you don’t see it as you once did: The sea. It’s there, a vast,…

The Gotham Independent Film Awards are pretty much the first major award show of the major award show season, and while they’re too indie-focused to be much of a marker for how the big-time awards early next year will go (we’re specifically talking about the Oscars) they do give the film community a chance to…

Earlier this year, The CW decided not to order any new episodes of The Jerry Springer Show, bringing the show’s 27-year run to a sudden, surprisingly uneventful end. Now, though, after a few months of having to put up with the countless other things to watch on TV in the middle of the day (Teen Titans Go! is literally…
