The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel looks both backward and forward: It offers a nostalgically frothy, sherbet-pastel 1950s MGM musical view of the world, while offering a protagonist who’s relatively progressive for the time period. Last season, Miriam “Midge” Maisel’s entire existence lurched when she found out her husband…

RZA likes kung fu. We’ve known that since Wu-Tang Clan released Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) 25 years ago, but we saw it in earnest when the rapper followed his directorial debut, The Man with the Iron Fists, with an episode of Netflix’s Iron Fist and the pursuit of a kung fu-themed bar with the Alamo Drafthouse.…

Many gamers scoff at the idea of a pre-built gaming rig, let alone a gaming laptop. So this ROG Zephyrus GX501 is bound to get more than a few toxic nerds riled up.

Earlier this year, comedian Liza Treyger premiered a 30-minute stand-up special as part of the Netflix’s The Degenerates, a “series of no-holds-barred comedy” from a handful of upcoming comics. We recently sat down with Treyger to talk about the special, part of which involves her crowdsourcing the audience’s sexual…

Look, despite what you may have heard, Watership Down is definitely not a fun adventure story about cute bunnies and their cute bunny friends, but Netflix and the BBC seem to be a little less sure about that—at least if the new trailer for their animated adaptation is anything to go by. There’s some ominous imagery at…

Shortly after wrapping production on his film adaptation of Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep, director Mike Flanagan and his wife Kate Siegel welcomed their second child into the world. Her name: Theodora Isabelle Irene Flanagan, or Theo for short. Fans of Flanagan’s recent Netflix series adaptation of The Haunting Of Hill…

Back in September when the official poster for Captain Marvel was released, we noticed the movie’s true hero was hiding down in the far-left corner of the image: Chewie, the cat (or cat-like alien being, more accurately) who belongs to Carol Danvers. And now that the new trailer has arrived, he has finally assumed his…

The robots own Appalachia now.

Kit Harington’s been one of the biggest stars to emerge from the cultural juggernaut that is Game Of Thrones, his Jon Snow functioning more or less as a protagonist in a show that’s got one of the best ensembles on TV. Now, Harington is cleansing his palate with a play, starring alongside Johnny Flynn in a London…

Many years ago, before he was the guy who decided that Joseph Gordon-Levitt should look more like Bruce Willis and before he correctly realized that Star Wars would be vastly improved with the addition of adorable bird creatures, Rian Johnson was just a regular student at the USC School Of Cinematic Arts. Soon, a…

Sebastián Silva’s Tyrel puts an existential spin on the time-honored tradition of “a guy’s weekend” by providing a menacing edge to superficially safe situations. Tyler (Mudbound’s Jason Mitchell), wishing to escape the stress of his girlfriend’s family, joins his friend Johnny (Christopher Abbott) for a birthday…

There are but a few certainties in life: Death, taxes, and the inevitable disintegration of Halo adaptations. Today’s news concerns the latter, as Variety reports that director and executive producer Rupert Wyatt has exited Showtime’s Halo TV series due to (spins wheel) good old fashioned scheduling conflicts. Says…

Big Dog Sportswear—the clothing brand with the iconic big dog on it—is a company that subsists on nostalgia. Each sale of an XXL t-shirt with a tough-talking St. Bernard on it depends on potential costumers remembering how fun it was to wear said t-shirts when they were husky little eighth graders. That’s maybe the…

Though Mahershala Ali’s latest movie, Green Book, is a story about race relations in the civil rights era, Ali says that shouldn’t account for the 40 percent of the time he estimates that he finds himself discussing race in interviews.

David Gordon Green can probably make any genre flick he wants after his Halloween remake sliced and diced box offices worldwide (so far, it’s raked in nearly $253 million on a $10 million budget), but his ambitions seem to be leading him straight down the toilet. In a recent Reddit AMA, the prolific filmmaker…

To be completely honest, we’ve read up on it, and we’re still not entirely sure what the deal is with this Once Upon A Deadpool release. It’s a PG-13 cut of Deadpool 2, with a name that makes it sound like a new cut of the original Deadpool, and it’s a cancer charity benefit that’s playing in movie theaters that has…

Art imitates life a bit too strenuously in Clara’s Ghost, the first feature written and directed by Bridey Elliott. (She’s probably best known for her starring role in the indie comedy Fort Tilden.) Set almost entirely in a rich Connecticut family’s home, this clumsy quasi-supernatural psychodrama features the entire…

As we creep closer to the premiere of the Jordan Peele-helmed Twilight Zone reboot, the CBS All Access series has added a gaggle of impressive names to its roster, presumably one for each time they heard a resentful “I’m not shelling out a dime for another damn streaming service” in the wind. In short: John Cho, Jason…

Would you like to own Luke Skywalker’s original lightsaber? Do you have, oh, a minimum of $150,000 just collecting dust in your bank account? If so, how?! But also, you might be interested in what Fortune is calling an “unprecedented auction of memorabilia from the Star Wars galaxy.” Hollywood auction house Profiles…

In 2018, the loose genre boundaries of punk and hardcore became more expansive than ever. For decades now, these blanket terms have encompassed a wide swath of sounds, ideologies, and aesthetics. But for most of that time, those distinct subgenres were largely walled off from one another, rarely mingling, much less…

It was a little less than a year ago that Luca Guadagnino began stoking the coals of a Call Me By Your Name sequel, saying that he envisions the story as a long-running series in the vein of Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise films. There’s been plenty of chatter since then, with stars Timothée Chalamet and Armie…

Contrary to popular sentiment, there are good Christmas songs. The problem, of course, is that living through late November and all of December means that you will hear even the best tunes more times than any composition in human history is capable of withstanding. “O Holy Night” may do the trick once or twice; on…

Adam Conover’s TruTV educational comedy series, Adam Ruins Everything, aims to debunk common misconceptions about a wide range of topics, “ruining” things like guns, mattress shopping, and the video game industry. In our recent interview, Conover told us how his quest to educate the masses has affected his personal…

Emile “Young God” Ratelband, the Tinder-scrolling, Trump-loving “positivity trainer” who launched a bid last month to legally change his age from 69 to 49, has been informed by an Amsterdam court that, sorry, he’s still 69. Ratelband, we imagine, was too crestfallen to utter the customary “nice.”

Stephen Colbert’s not-so-secret studio bar has been the source of some serious fun on The Late Show over the years. Like at the Golden Globes every year, the addition of alcohol to a professional obligation reliably punctures some of the air of stuffiness in the average show biz interview, so, for Lucas Hedges, the…
