The best horror story of the year wasn’t found at the cinema, but in the online annals of The Cut, where writer Reeves Wiedeman introduced the world to The Watcher, a mysterious, menacing figure that turned the lives of Derek Broaddus and his family into a terrifying nightmare. The rights to the tale, which includes a…

In time for the holidays and the prospect of facing your own family drama comes Motherlands (Vertigo), a comic centering on fraught familial relationships, to put it mildly. The story revolves around Tabitha Tubach, a “retriever” licensed to pursue criminals across multiple universes, and she does so without the…

Earlier this week, our writers submitted for reader consideration (and even, occasionally, approval) their collection of some of our favorite games of the year, in no particular order, and grouped around a single idea: What did we like this year, and why?

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the group’s seminal debut album Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), somebody at NPR turned on the giant W-shaped spotlight on the roof, signaling the Wu-Tang Clan to assemble like a veritable hip-hop Justice League for the latest installment of the “Tiny Desk” series. While some…

“Midway To Midtown” explore the seductive power of fantasy, starting with an incredibly whimsical montage of Susie enjoying the serenity of Midge’s parents’ apartment by wearing Abe’s robe, using Rose’s pink soap, crying while reading a copy of Charlotte’s Web, taking her own leg measurements to compare them with…

With the glitter-encrusted wreckage of Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson’s short-lived romance still smoldering, we bid adieu to another ubiquitous pop culture couple. “Bodak Yellow” rapper Cardi B and Migos’ Offset, who tied the knot last September, have officially called it quits.

RuPaul’s Drag Race has come a long way since it’s shoestring debut season sissied that walk nearly 10 years ago. This year, it swept the Emmy Awards’ reality categories, and now it’s been announced that the show will travel overseas for a U.K. edition. Variety reports that it will premiere on the BBC next year.

Tom Cruise is passionate about several things: the life-improving power of his maniacal space cult, the importance of nearly killing himself in every movie he makes, and, it turns out, that garbage TV setting we’ve cautioned you about before called “motion smoothing.”

When it comes to holiday comic traditions, few are as clever, exciting, and chilling as the annual Hellboy Winter Special, featuring exceptional creators telling short stories about the titular demon and other characters in the Mignolaverse. These books go beyond the usual cheerful holiday fare, taking a creepier…

Pity the poor Game Of Thrones actors between now and April. They can’t even make an offhand comment about needing to go to the bathroom without someone asking if that’s code for White Walkers killing Arya in the finale, or whatever. And if they actually reference the final season, regardless of whether it’s a slip of…

A Sesame Street movie is an inevitability in this age of IP, and, if we’re being honest, we are kind of overdue for a Follow That Bird sequel. Now, Collider reports that we’re one step closer to it becoming a reality, with Warner Bros. reportedly eyeing Anne Hathaway for a leading role. She’s got experience, after…

Hype and superhero movies go hand in hand. Fans eagerly anticipate every tiny piece of information about these films to a point where it’s become almost comical. Months and months before release, we’re dissecting every little detail, building up anticipation and expectations to a level that’s rarely achieved. But, for…

This December, prepare to have your stockings stuffed and bedazzled with seasonally appropriate specials from Nailed It!, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina. Of course, not…

The opening scene of “Simone,” which brings us through the gorgeous halls of the B. Altman make-up counters to the basement where Midge now works as an operator girl, illustrates how one of the primary joys of watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is aesthetic. In many ways, the meticulously cool and fashionable world of…

Dave Grohl is considered one of the funniest, most big-hearted guys in rock. Hell, last month he was serving up brisket to California firefighters. Not everyone agrees with that assessment, however; last year, Sunny Day Real Estate drummer and former Foo Fighter William Goldsmith labeled Grohl a “schoolyard bully” in…

Death, art, cults, zombies—the year in literature was as eclectic as it was excellent. There were crimes in need of solving, an infamous witch telling her tale, and a woman who just wants to sleep for a year. Characters have sex, they fall in love, and a bunch of folks get their heads chopped off (the undead meet just…

“It was a fairly successful summit for President Trump,” was CNN Chief Washington Correspondent Jake Tapper’s assessment of how last week’s Argentina G20 meeting went.

I’m a 59-year-old man in good health. For basically my whole adult life, I’ve had this problem during intercourse with a woman of (1) being very quick to come and (2) having a too intense “cringey” sensation when I come. This has led to often going soft at the prospect of intercourse. This too-intense feeling makes me…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for December 5. All times are Eastern.
