If you don’t know about Dusty, you’re not alone. Kenner’s 1974 “sporty” answer to Barbie, the fashion doll was a pretty monumental flop. Called “one of the ugliest fashion dolls ever made” by some, Dusty arrived shortly after the passage of the Title IX act and was fitted with a more athletic body than Barbie,…

Never let it be said that the Bachelor franchise isn’t filled with drama. Who among us can forget Arie’s onscreen breakup with Becca, or Hannah B. finally booting the toxic Luke P. to the curb? Usually, though, the drama is teased out (seemingly endlessly) for later in the season, to keep us tuning in. Colton wasn’t…

For too long, we’ve collectively scoffed at the conspiracy theorists who believe the world is secretly controlled by a group of nefarious lizard people who walk among us in human disguises. While we know aliens definitely exist and are just waiting for the right moment to come out of hiding and usher in a new age of…

A Netflix movie premiering on... actual television?! Will wonders never cease? AMC has officially announced the network television premiere date for El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, to be preceded by an epic Breaking Bad marathon—just in case you need a refresher on the life and crimes of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman…

Not to be outdone by Coachella’s recent announcement, Bonnaroo has revealed the lineup for its own 2020 festival, with Lizzo, Tame Impala, Tool, and the Grand Ole Opry (with special guests, of course) as headliners. The annual music festival in Manchester, Tennessee will take place over four days, beginning on…

Ah, the recently departed holidays. Finally some downtime to catch up on the movies, shows, books, music, and games everyone else had been talking about. Even though we cover pop culture for a living, we at The A.V. Club also had stuff we were jonesing to get to over those valuable vacation days. So, we’re curious:

Todd Phillips’ Joker continues to reign as one of the most polarizing films of 2019. Even we at The A.V. Club couldn’t quite come to a consensus: While we gave the film a perfectly respectable grade of B-, we also dubbed it one of the worst films of the year. And while there are many who have taken a firm stance…

Elizabeth Wurtzel, author of the bestselling memoir Prozac Nation, has died at the age of 52. The author and columnist passed away on January 7 at a Manhattan hospital due to complications from breast cancer, reports The Washington Post. In her typical candid fashion, Wurtzel revealed the diagnosis in a 2015 editorial…

Everyone knows all the boring red carpet questions: “What are you wearing?” “Who are you excited to see tonight?,” and so on. When The A.V. Club was given a spot on this years’ Golden Globes red carpet, though, we knew we had to come away with some really hard-hitting information that gives us insight into some of the…

Though 2020 hasn’t got off to the best start in most ways that matter, certain events still provide an important reminder that not everything out there totally sucks. Take, for example, a half hour set performed last Saturday during the Art Of Elysium fundraiser at the Hollywood Palladium that saw Nirvana’s Dave…

Good news: Schitt’s Creek has returned! Bad news: It’s for the series’ sixth and final season. Fortunately for us all, it looks like the show will go out having never dipped in quality. The show’s namesake setting has certainly had its effect on the formerly Kardashian-esque Rose family—patriarch Johnny (Eugene Levy),…

People have a lot of feelings about Jane Fonda, stemming from her 60-plus years of movie (and now streaming) stardom, and vocal, sometimes controversial activism. But the 82-year-old Oscar winner doesn’t seem much interested in appeasing those who think that rich, white movie stars should stay in their lane (unless…

Ben Stiller’s upcoming Apple TV+ series Severance is turning into an
Escape At Dannemora reunion, with a press release today announcing that Patricia Arquette will be co-starring in the streaming series. Stiller is directing, as he did with Dannemora, and Arquette will be joining previously cast co-star Adam Scott…

Until the people with the vests and nametags have finished counting the tickets, nobody really knows which movie is going to win a given weekend’s box office. That being said, did anyone really expect to see anything other than Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker continuing to swallow up everyone’s movie money? It landed…

Forget “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” now it’s “The Timothée’s They Are A-Chalamet!” (We’re not sorry for that.) According to Deadline, the cute boy from every movie of the last three years or so has signed on to play the cutest boy in folk music, with Timothée Chalamet set to play Bob Dylan in a new biopic from …

Here’s an interesting possibility for the MCU: According to The Hollywood Reporter, Christian Bale is talking to Marvel Studios about possibly joining Taika Waititi’s next Thor sequel, subtitled Love And Thunder. If so, this would mean Bale would be returning to the world of superhero movies, where he previously…

Back in the ‘90s, when every publication somehow had their own swimsuit issue, SPIN was trying to collect a wide variety of musicians to take shots of in skimpy water-proof garments. At the end of the ‘80s, SPIN had already managed to grab swimsuit photos of artists like Belinda Carlisle, Johnny Cash, Megadeth,…

Rick And Morty co-creator Justin Roiland is a talented and creative guy, and one of the things he’s weirdly good at is fleshing out and expanding on jokes that seem like they were just made up on the fly—like, say, Mr. Poopybutthole. It’s only fitting, then, that he’d find a home at Quibi, the streaming service with…
