Last week, we reported that Fox and producers working on Cosmos were investigating allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior that had been raised by three women against famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson (the host of Cosmos). The next day, Tyson released a statement about the allegations, saying that he…

Episode 1: “Simone” | Episode 2: “Mid-way to Mid-Town” | Episode 3: “The Punishment Room” | Episode 4: “We’re Going to the Catskills!” | Episode 5: “Midnight at the Concord” | Episode 6: “Let’s Face the Music and Dance” | Episode 7: “Look, She Made a Hat” | Episode 8: “Someday...” | Episode 9: “Vote for Kennedy, Vote…

For many of us, Matt Pinfield was the guy who, via MTV’s 120 Minutes, introduced us to pretty much every good rock band in the ‘90s. Pinfield is still working as a writer, DJ, and all-around rock evangelist, but he suffered quite the setback on Wednesday when he was a hit by a car in Los Angeles.

The past few years have been tough for Milo Yiannopoulos, the writer(?) whose fascist, racist, Trumpy fanboyism has made him one of the most reliably hated people in the internet. Or at least he used to be on the internet, as he’s been kicked off Twitter, quit Breitbart before he could be fired, and lost a Daily…

Last night in Brooklyn, a collection of artists came together to pay tribute to Frightened Rabbit’s Scott Hutchison, who died at age 36 in May, for Tiny Changes: A Celebration Of Scott Hutchison. The list of musicians, which included Julien Baker, The National’s Aaron Dessner and Kevine Devine, Death Cab For Cutie’s…

In the world of food media, Samin Nosrat is a palate cleanser. Though she is a fount of cooking knowledge and wisdom, neither her award winning book nor her Netflix show ever feel prescriptive. Instead, she invites the reader or viewer to learn about, eat and enjoy food, all while radiating joy and warmth. Keeping in…

The opening of “We’re Going To The Catskills” is so delightfully twee and symmetrical that I wondered if I accidentally stumbled upon a scene from a Wes Anderson film. We open on Ethan playing with his grandfather’s tiny models of the family luggage and U-Haul, all of which Abe uses to aid in planning their annual…

Like the scrappiest of put-upon film protagonists, MoviePass continues to soldier on. That’s despite its distressingly peripatetic business model, ever-plummeting stock, and flourishing competition, not to mention an investigation by the New York attorney general’s office, who think the company lied to its investors.…

Soon after its premiere on YouTube, Ariana Grande’s music video for “Thank U, Next” obliterated the record for single-day views, racking up over 50 million in a 24-hour period. But, thanks to James Corden and the writers over at The Late Late Show, that video may have some healthy competition. “Thank U, Jeff”…

So many movies, so little time. Every week brings a new crop of them, opening in multiplexes and arthouse theaters across the nation, and arriving in increasingly high volumes on streaming platforms like Netflix. How’s a voracious moviegoer to keep up? That’s where The A.V. Club comes in. The first week of every…

It’s no secret that Donald Trump is despised by nearly everyone in Washington. So, when all the living presidents, their wives, and every elder statesmen in the capitol gathered this week for George H.W. Bush’s funeral, it was assumed there was going to be a reasonable amount of shade being thrown around, even though…

It’s the holidays, that time of year when our country theatrically longs for a sense of bygone simplicity that never existed. And, as always, our promises to go ice-skating, sip hot cocoa, and roast chestnuts have instead curdled into the same old debates about the myriad ways people are trying to take “Christ” out of…

Ben Is Back isn’t the year’s first American drama about a teenage drug addict and the parent agonizing over how to help him. Two months ago, Timothée Chalamet and Steve Carell acted out that same scenario in Beautiful Boy, a film so committed to capturing, in agonizing detail, each step (and misstep) on the road to…

Throughout The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, we see how Midge’s sharp wit has the potential to charm audiences, as well as provoke sheer unadulterated rage. But “The Punishment Room” is the first time when we’ve seen Midge miss the mark completely and, in the process, deeply hurt a friend.

From one angle, the country music narrative in 2018 was distinguished by consistency. Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line’s easygoing soul-twang confection “Meant To Be” spent a staggering, record-setting 50 weeks atop the Hot Country Songs chart, while the vast majority of award winners and chart-toppers are all…

Reports emerged last May that Jake Gyllenhaal was in talks to play the evil Mysterio in Spider-Man: Far From Home, and last night the actor made it official in a new Instagram post. It’s the first post from the notoriously private celebrity, who’s spoken at length about his reluctance to enter the online fray. His…

If you didn’t find the TV deal you were looking for on Black Friday, Massdrop did what Massdrop does, and just dropped two enormous, high-end sets down to even lower prices than we were seeing during Deals Week.

Earl Sweatshirt’s 2015 album I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside is one of the best rap albums of the decade, but it was a grower, claustrophobic and dissonant. Some Rap Songs aims higher and makes you work harder. That blurry cover and demurring title are no feint; he’s buried in the mix, his voice fighting against…

There’s a new king of the Instant Pot world, and it just got its first significant discount ever.

The state of opening credits and theme songs on TV in 2018 is one of contradictions: The 800-pound streaming gorilla in the living room encourages its subscribers’ impatience while at the same time those apparently disposable commodities are pored over and analyzed like any other element of television in the internet…

While it’s tempting to demand that all late-night comedians stay at their posts until this whole national nightmare of an administration crashes and burns, it’s probably for the best that folks like Full Frontal’s Samantha Bee take a breather now and again. After all, she nearly burned down her set with telekinetic…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, December 6. All times are Eastern.

A little less than 20 years ago, a still-finding-its-legs South Park aired a memorable episode called “Gnomes,” which focused both on the omnipresence of Starbucks Coffee (named Harbucks in the episode), as well as little gnomes that steal your underpants in the night, with their ultimate goal being “profit.” That…

It’s somewhat comforting to see that Modern Family isn’t done with Dede just yet. When she died earlier this year—off camera and out of nowhere—it felt like a very random choice that resulted in a good episode, but that wouldn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. Dede was never a major character, but it’d feel…
