Dick Cheney suffered at least five heart attacks before a dark ritual granted him a new heart that had yet to be spoiled by a lifetime of evil, and with Adam McKay directing a movie about Cheney—Vice, starring Christian Bale—he naturally had to film a number of scenes about Cheney having a heart attack (so many scenes…

Here’s three words you may have seen on your social media timeline over the past few days: Neon Genesis Evangelion. You’ve likely seen them thrown about with a palpable giddiness, leading you to Google them and be met with this vague, deflating description: “Teens fight alien war machines. Animated.” A 1995 anime…

Jim Cummings is one of Hollywood’s most sought after voice actors, lending his dulcet tones to beloved shows like Animaniacs, Spider-Man, Darkwing Duck. His most iconic role by far is the honey-loving teddy bear Winnie The Pooh, which he’s been voicing since 1988. We recently talked to Cummings about his stellar …

In the lead-up to Blade Runner 2049, Warner Bros. released a couple of prequel shorts giving little insights into what happened in the world between the first movie and Denis Villeneuve’s sequel, with one showcasing Jared Leto’s creepy dude and another showcasing Dave Bautista’s kind-hearted replicant dude. The best…

Imagine the last 20 years of American pop culture on fast-forward. Now imagine the last 50 years of American history all happening at the same time. Neither of those statements can fully capture the experience of life in contemporary China, which director Hao Wu—a Chinese-American tech executive turned …

Call it the Game Of Thrones effect, or call it parallel thinking, or just call it a simple appreciation for fancy costumes and bitter hatred. Regardless of motivations, it’s been a big year for historical dramas about feuding British (and/or Scottish) royalty. First there was Chris Pine’s bloody Outlaw King, then the…

Confronting the past is an important part of the healing process. So, when you think about, GQ was actually doing something nice when they sat Richard Madden down and forced him to rewatch his own death on Game Of Thrones. It’s been over five years since Madden—portraying the Young Wolf, Robb Stark—was slain alongside…

Chicago’s homegrown genre-film festival Cinepocalypse is plotting its return to the Music Box Theatre, exclusively announcing through The A.V. Club its dates for 2019. Mark your calendars, weirdos: The festival is back for its third year next June, Thursday June 13 through Thursday, June 20. The programming…

Hugh Jackman will always be Logan to us, but you can’t deny the man’s song-and-dance bonafides. His work in the 2012 film adaptation of Les Misérables scored him a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination, and in 2004 he snagged a Tony Award for tripping the light fantastic in The Boy From Oz. Recently, his turn as the…

A24, the distribution company behind some of your favorite movies from the last few years, is now the distribution company behind some of your favorite candles. If you’re disappointed by the lack of variety offered by those basic schmucks at Yankee Candle Co. and have been longing to fill your home with the smell of…

The world seemed to return to normalcy last week when, after having informed Twitter “I’ve never eaten a Bagel in my life ...” to widespread disbelief, Ice-T appeared to have finally eaten and somewhat enjoyed his very first bagel in a commercial for a dating app with a keen eye for viral marketing.

Sony’s PlayStation Classic will be released on December 3rd. You’ve likely seen the lead marketing image—a miniature version of the original console photographed in the wrinkle-less hand of a player perhaps too young to remember the PlayStation’s original release in 1995. They’re holding the 2018 edition, finished…

Gloria Katz, longtime George Lucas collaborator and one of screenwriters behind American Graffiti and Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, has died after a battle with ovarian cancer, reports The Hollywood Reporter. She was 76.

Parents! What’s the matter with parents today? When they’re not busy handcuffing their kids to a fridge, or shipping them off to the Sisters Of Quiet Mercy, the moms and dads of Riverdale seem to be up to some pretty shady stuff lately. In this week’s Dial M For Maple, hosts Marah and Cameron recap “Manhunter,” which…

Movie trailers can be misleading. Their primary function is to sell us something, to get asses in seats any way they can. Sometimes, that entails making a film look like something it’s not, as when a moody arthouse crime pastiche is passed off as a de facto Transporter sequel. (Newsflash: Advertising isn’t always…

Stephen Colbert returned from his extended Thanksgiving break (nice work if you can get it) to a whole raft of stored up Trump news from his time away. Let’s see, Trump minion Paul Manafort (“Ray Liotta in the role of a lifetime”) violated his plea deal with Robert Mueller by repeatedly lying to the FBI, other Trump…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, November 29. All times are Eastern.

In the past few seasons, South Park has had quite a bit of fun mocking the smartphone age. Last year’s hilarious “Put It Down” skewered both President Trump’s Twitter use, as well as the most egregious examples of texting and driving, while just a few episodes ago, “The Scoots” gave us a world where Halloween night is…

Throwing Dylan back into the picture was a curious choice for Modern Family. For some time it looked like the show was allowing Haley to move on and become a different, more grown up person, and that necessitated cutting ties with the symbol of her youth. Dylan always felt like a character that wasn’t really built to…

Conan O’Brien’s been doing his “Conan Without Borders” segments over on TBS for a while now, transplanting his gawky, sarcastic sense of weirdness to places as diverse as Haiti, Italy, and Mexico. His most recent trip may have finally put O’Brien’s natural talent for awkwardness to the test, though, as he headed to…

“I don’t want to leave my country and my home. I am tired of fighting, and yet, let’s do it. Let’s go to England.”

“Chapter Forty-One: Manhunter” is one of those Riverdale episodes where, if you were to explain a large portion of it to anyone who knows absolutely nothing about Riverdale, you would sound very out of touch with reality. That’s technically true of every episode, especially after the first season, but imagine having…

Combining one of America’s fastest growing political talents with that classic Hollywood standby, the hot young actor deciding to fuck up his image with a little old-fashioned serial killer work, the Sundance Film Festival released the majority of its schedule for its 2019 outing tonight. Among the numerous films on…

In news that we assure you we’re absolutely shocked—shocked, we say!—to report this evening, the professional no-funyuns at the MPAA are pissed off at Danish film provocateur Lars von Trier over his latest offering, the bloody, stylized serial killer thriller The House That Jack Built. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the…

Actual wars are pretty bad, but nothing compares to the so-called “console war” between Sega and Nintendo in the ‘90s. Everybody remembers where they were when the first heard the vicious cannon fire of “Sega does what Nintendon’t” or when Donkey Kong killed Vectorman, so it’s a blessing that modern generations have…
