It seems like only yesterday that audiences were treated to the campy love letter to both Groundhog Day and the slasher subgenre that is Christopher B. Landon’s Happy Death Day. But believe it or not, it’s a little over a year later, and the trailer for the sequel Happy Death Day 2 U has been revealed. It looks as…

In news that’s bound to surprise no one, a new Vanity Fair profile on ‘90s-era Nickelodeon staple Rocko’s Modern Life reveals that that shit was just as crazy behind the scenes as it was onscreen.

In case you thought Jay Z just rapped about his marriage now, please allow him to re-introduce himself. On Meek Mill’s new track, “What’s Free?”, the Jigga Man points weapons-grade lyrics at the President of the United States, and not —as many online have speculated— at his former collaborator Kanye West. Well, not…

Earlier this year, Conan O’Brien was made aware that both Detective Conan, a popular cartoon character, and Conan Town, a Japanese town renamed in the bespectacled crime-fighter’s honor, exist. Naturally concluding that the entire cultural phenomenon was based on him, he asked the nation of Japan to pay him 3 trillion…

Last week, we reported on a forthcoming scene-for-scene fan remake of the 2001 animated film Shrek that was being produced with the help of over 200 collaborators. We’re now happy to report that this deranged and messy love letter to everyone’s favorite green ogre is available for viewing on YouTube, and it is totally…

The world of superhero comics is built on rip-offs. When Superman proved to be a huge hit, others rushed to create their own heroes in the same mold. As the decades passed, publishers and creators regularly co-opted the ideas of competitors for their own comics, changing just enough so that they weren’t carbon copies.…

Now that the Venom movie has turned Eddie Brock and his slimy lover into global superstars, it’s the perfect time to jump into the fantastic Venom ongoing series, which has added new dimensions to symbiote mythology while delivering jaw-dropping action and tender emotional moments. Writer Donny Cates and the main art…

This week’s question comes from A.V. Club Deputy TV Editor Danette Chavez:

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. You can listen to these and more on Spotify.

As Guy Ritchie’s weird, live-action Aladdin remake hovers ominously on the horizon, the English filmmaker is returning to his roots for an ensemble action film in the vein of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. Toff Guys, as it is so perfectly named, was already shaping up to be a star-studded affair when …

On Wednesday, a tweet went viral that was, perhaps, the purest form of Twitter imaginable. It was 240 characters of pure, uncut discourse, straight from the people behind Burger King’s social media accounts. And now PornHub is involved.

One of the only ways to tell whether or not a podcast is popular is to look at Apple’s iTunes charts, which lists the top-performing podcasts in order to give a sense of who’s listening to what. Unfortunately, it turns out the charts are easy as hell to game, and we should all probably ignore them.

Travis Scott’s chart-topping 2018 release Astroworld nods to a shuttered theme park in his hometown of Houston, and his stage show supporting the album finds Scott rapping while riding an onstage roller coaster. It’s a sight to behold, but not everyone was impressed. Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee took to social media…

Comedians, like all other artists and entertainers, often work in what can later be identified as distinct phases. Picasso’s Blue Period, for example, represents a dark time in the artist’s life following a dear friend’s suicide, while Dylan picked up the electric guitar after years performing stripped-down, classic…

Nintendo’s fun Labo Variety Kit, a reader-exclusive discount on Samsung’s best TV, and Kano Harry Potter Coding Kit lead off Friday’s best deals.

Sci-fi horror can sometimes feel like an odd fit. The latter genre is more often rooted in the past than the future, better suited to organic fears than technological nightmares—hence the tendency to simply use the science fiction as window dressing for an old-fashioned monster movie. (There’s a reason Alien’s chills…

Scars have long been a cinematic shorthand for two things: Past trauma and, as is often the case with fearsome villains, one’s ability to withstand and rebound from extreme violence. In the latter instance, the argument can be extended to say that scarring represents a fundamental change of character, a shift from…

The Possession Of Hannah Grace begins with such a comprehensive assembly of exorcism-movie boilerplate that if the film possesses any ambition at all, it could only involve subversion. The opening scene has everything: a blue-black non-color palette, mournful Christian accoutrements, a young woman (always a young…

Scott Pilgrim is not a superhero. He is not a hero. He is only barely a functional human being. He is a dipshit. So maybe we should be talking about Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World in a column about dipshit movies, not one about superhero movies. (Side note: I would absolutely read a column about dipshit…

Author, activist, and person perennially taking no shit Lindy West appeared on Thursday’s Daily Show to explain the title of her new book, Shout Your Abortion. Started as a hashtag online in 2015 (because, 2015), the phrase was originally appended to a friend’s strikingly honest story of how her own decision to…

Every Friday, A.V. Club staffers kick off our weekly open thread for the discussion of gaming plans and recent gaming glories, but of course, the real action is down in the comments, where we invite you to answer our eternal question: What Are You Playing This Weekend?

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Friday, November 30 and Saturday, December 1. All times are Eastern.

Okay, quick show of hands: Who remembers the Drake-Meek Mill feud? Oh, c’mon: It was all the rap-rage back in 2015, mostly because Mill—pre his most recent prison sentence, which is its own whole, outrageous can of worms—somehow managed to release a diss track so bad that it made Drake come off as a badass by…

News breaking tonight that Netflix has managed to do what Wilson Fisk, the Punisher, and a whole buttload of ninjas never could: Kill off The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. Variety is reporting that Marvel’s Daredevil is the latest Marvel Netflix show to be hit with a cancellation notice, signalling that whatever…
