According to Variety, Justin Lin is leaving his longtime deal with Sony Pictures TV—through which he has helped make Scorpion, the new Mangum P.I., and Cinemax’s Warrior happen—for the presumably cushy, still-mysterious confines of Apple’s streaming service. Variety says Lin has signed an “exclusive overall TV…

Adam McKay’s Vice opens in 1963 in Casper, Wyoming, as the young, puffy, and whoopingly drunk Dick Cheney (Christian Bale) is about to be arrested for driving under the influence for the second time in a year. After losing his scholarship to Yale, he has returned to his hometown to work as a lineman for the local…

Jake Johnson has played a long list of schlubby, laid back types—Nick Miller in New Girl, Luke in Drinking Buddies, Chilli in Tag, and now Peter B. Parker in the new Spider-Man movie, Into The Spider-Verse. In a recent interview, we spoke with Johnson about these various roles, his philosphy on acting, and getting out…

There are a lot of words that could be used to capture the spirit of the last couple years, like maybe “bullshit” or “nightmare” or “fartpocalypse,” but one that doesn’t immediately spring to mind—given the rampant disregard for the rule of law, the basic core of democracy, and mankind’s general propensity to steal…

When George W. Bush first appears on screen in Adam McKay’s new movie Vice, it’s strange to see him played by Sam Rockwell. This isn’t because Rockwell is miscast—in fact, he’s perfectly cast and quite good in the movie, capturing the empty, convivial bravado of our 43rd president in just a few scenes. It’s just a…

Out this Christmas, Vice, explores the story about how Dick Cheney (Christian Bale), a bureaucratic Washington insider, quietly became the most powerful man in the world as Vice-President to George W. Bush. Ahead of the Vice’s release next week, we sat down with Christian Bale to talk about the film, his…

Podcasts simply couldn’t contain themselves in 2018. Beyond setting multiple records (the third season of Serial was its biggest to date, and with a historically large advertising deal), this ever-growing audio medium also saw some of its most acclaimed series leap to television, with Dirty John on Bravo and Homecoming

It was only a couple years ago that we reported that there wouldn’t be a Dark Crystal prequel movie after all, but since then Netflix has gone out of its way to make us look like the fools we are. Not only has the streaming service picked up a 10-episode series set before the events of Jim Henson and Frank Oz’s…

Vertigo Comics has deep roots in the crime genre, with books like 100 Bullets, Scalped, and The Sheriff Of Babylon delivering tense, complex stories about moral sacrifice and tragic attempts at redemption. American Carnage is the primary crime representative in the current Vertigo revival, and it has narrative ties to…

Hamilton creator and multi-talented entertainer Lin-Manuel Miranda stars in this month’s Mary Poppins Returns, the long-gestating sequel to the 1964 musical fantasy film. In honor of the new film, we sat down with the Tony Award winner to talk about his five favorite musical numbers ever put on screen.

Like pop and R&B, indie and rock are huge, diverse fields overlapping and extending outward to countless iterations, a reality reflected in our picks for the best albums of the year below. You might’ve been looking for Jeff Rosenstock on our punk and hardcore list, or Neko Case among our top 10 country albums, but…

Destroyer, the latest from The Invitation director Karyn Kusama, is very much in the mold of antiestablishment ’70s cop movies like Serpico and Dirty Harry, but with a gender-swapped twist: Nicole Kidman stars as Erin Bell, an LAPD detective who’s still scarred by an undercover assignment that went tragically wrong…

A Dyson vacuum, fitness trackers, anime Blu-Rays and discounted USB-C cables kick off Monday’s best deals.

The year in TV performances was marked as much by transformation as star power, as Hollywood A-listers continued to flock to the small screen. Rapt audiences watched as a couple of British gents who know their way around a Jane Austen drama turned into cads, and America’s sweethearts (past and present) tapped into…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Monday, December 17. All times are Eastern.

Outlander without Jamie and Claire is, unsurprisingly, a bit like a ship without its captain. They drive the show, fuel its emotional core. Now four seasons in, Outlander has a sprawling cast of characters, and this episode focuses on several of them, all with their ties to Claire and Jamie but all with motivations of…

Here, finally, for better and (inevitably) for worse, is the titular escape at Dannemora. Or, more aptly, escapes: Sweat and Matt finally emerge on the other side of the prison walls. Tilly finally makes her choice—or, rather, her body makes the choice for her—to abandon her fantasies about living out a dime store…
