The Eyes Of My Mother director Nicolas Pesce’s version of The Grudge gets at least one thing right about J-horror. The film is soaking wet, drenched in torrential rain and filthy bathwater to complement its ghostly women with long, damp black hair. (Moisture and dank places have long been associated with ghosts in…

The Witcher is a television show. Perhaps you’ve heard of it? If you’ve tossed a coin to Netflix, there’s a decent chance you’ve watched it, too (according to Netflix, anyway). It’s also pretty fun: As our own William Hughes put it in his warm pre-air review, after a few exposition-heavy outings the show “makes a…

Last year/last decade/less than two months ago, we reported that there were some rumors going around that Joker director Todd Phillips was already planning to put together a sequel to his hit clown movie—though those rumors were quickly denounced. Still, the idea of another Joker movie (and all of that sweet cash the…

If you live an intense White Claw lifestyle , it looks like Spokane, Washington might be your next travel destination. Nevermind the city’s absolutely terrifying law enforcement introduced by Headlong’s Running from COPS podcast. This city has a goddamn ski lodge build up entirely of White Claw cases. Sure, it’s fake…

Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series is many things: a time-travel story, a sprawling work of historical fiction, a sexy sexy romance, a family drama, the list goes on. There are pirates! There are ghosts! There are magic stone circles that send you back centuries! There are soon-to-be-estranged husbands who have…

Movie-theater etiquette is an evolving concept. Before Psycho changed the game in 1960, it was perfectly acceptable to wander into a theater in the middle of a movie, for example, and the advent of smartphones has created a whole new set of questions for cinematic Miss Manners to contemplate. But there are also…

It’s amazing what a solid cast, an engaging story arc, and consistent awards recognition can do for the safety of a show. To nobody’s surprise, BBC America has renewed its flagship series Killing Eve for a fourth season. If you’re wondering when the hell you fell so far behind after the season two finale, don’t panic:…

You, skeptical reader, are right to be suspicious anytime a corporation asks for your personal information (up to and including images of your face) in exchange for some tiny, fleeting novelty. Maybe it’s harmless, maybe it’s just another piece of yourself you’re offering up for a pittance. But on this occasion,…

The original plan was that football would simply continue forever. Every Sunday, the men would dress up in colorful clothes and smack into each other, for the enjoyment of polite society. Ad infinitum. But as time wore on, the men—the ones who were still alive—protested this endless horizon of mud and pain. So…

A Gaiam yoga Gold Box, Anker 4-port charging accessory, toilet paper holder, and a Morakniv lead off Friday’s best deals from around the web.

Out of the many trios in hip-hop history —Injury Reserve, Migos, The Fugees, Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest —De La Soul might be the most underappreciated. For one, most of their music isn’t even available on digital streaming services, so those who missed out on listening to their earlier work, which includes the…

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…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Friday, January 3, and Saturday, January 4. All times are Eastern.

Oz Perkins’ Gretel & Hansel isn’t the first dark re-imagining of one of the Brothers Grimm’s grimmest stories to make its way into theaters in recent years—let us never forget Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, in which Jeremy Renner must fend off the effects of supernatural diabetes inflicted upon him from horfing down…

The human race was forced to ask itself whether it could be even more plunged into a realm of existential and palpable dread this week, as former NBC flotation device Friends left Netflix’s streaming library on New Year’s Day. The move comes ahead of the sitcom’s re-emergence on HBO Max when it launches on May 1, but…

We like to make some light-hearted jokes about the Disney corporation ’round these parts—strictly comical suggestions, mind you, like the idea that the Marvel/Star Wars/Pinocchio company is a vast and labyrinthine beast that seeks to suck all human attention, income, and existence into its all-consuming maw, a…

Netflix has renewed their superpowered drama series Raising Dion for a second season, per The Wrap. The streaming service announced today that they plan on bringing back the Michael B. Jordan-produced show, which heads back into production this year. As of now, there is no solid return date.

Although she’s worked extensively in television across the course of her career—both pre- and post-Oscar, albeit with a lot fewer roles with names like “Flight Attendant” attached to them in the aftermath of her 2012 win for The Help—Octavia Spencer has rarely taken a starring role on the smaller screen.
