Florence Pugh had a helluva 2019, the 24-year old scoring critical acclaim for her spirited turns in Little Women, Midsommar, and Fighting With My Family. One might see an overnight sensation in Pugh, a breakout whose talent seems to have arrived fully formed, but, as Mashable points out, her career began like it does…

We hate to nitpick here at The A.V. Club. (Actually, that’s a 100 percent bullshit goddamn lie.) Regardless, though, we have to ask: If you’re NBC, and you’re going to create an ’80s cop show parody ad to promote the upcoming February 6 return of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, why go with a sort of generic neon/VHS vibe, and not…

Anxious fans reading the news about the Saved By The Bell reboot on Peacock this week likely noticed a certain cast member’s absence. Even though the proposed plot includes some machinations by California governor Zack Morris, his portrayer, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, was not included in the upcoming cast list that…

Another one of Grey’s Anatomy’s original cast members has finally decided to leave the warm comfort of long-running ABC medical drama: According to Deadline, Justin Chambers—a.k.a. Alex Karev, the mean jerk who later became a nice jerk—has announced that he is leaving the show after 15 years, with his final episode…

Saturday Night Live is on a break, but the show’s been guiding us through the dry weeks with a slew of supercuts of some of its best recurring sketches. The latest such release contains almost a full hour of “What Up With That,” Diondre Jones’ (Kenan Thompson) talk show that keeps getting overtaken by the host’s love…

RuPaul Charles, the man who helped transform drag from an underground movement into a pop culture phenomenon, is fond of emphasizing the power each of us has to not just invent but reinvent ourselves as the person we want to be—something that is fascinating to consider in the light of Charles’ new persona as,…

Thanks to modern technology, ordinary people are now equipped like never before to enact our stupidest possible ideas. This is especially clear in the case of Cameo, the site that lets you pay celebrities to say pretty much whatever you want them to say in exchange for a fee. The number of ways to use this business…

In one of those situations where it would actually be really handy to have an animated avatar of the various participants pop in to explain to us what the hell all involved were thinking, original Lizzie McGuire creator Terri Minsky has just exited the Disney+ revival season of her beloved Disney Channel sitcom. Per …

As reported by Deadline, Australian actor Harry Hains, who appeared in the hotel season of American Horror Story and on Netflix’s The OA, has died. A cause of death hasn’t been given, but in an Instagram post from his mother (actress Jane Badler), she referenced that Hains had “struggled with mental illness and…

Bombshell, last year’s look at the women who helped expose former Fox News head Roger Ailes’ history of sexual harassment, could’ve been good. But, as we noted in our review, the film’s “kid-gloves approach” to its real-life subjects stripped the narrative of its innate complexity. “[T]he film is a snappy, glib tour…

We’re pretty sure that the overriding moral of the Safdie’s recent Uncut Gems is “Please do not do anything that any of these characters would do.” (Except Idina Menzel’s Dinah, whose lack of desire to share intimacy, a marriage, or even just common air with Adam Sandler’s roving garbage fire Howard is frankly…

No other game show, barring perhaps Wheel Of Fortune, presents as many opportunities for competitors to completely whiff on easy answers as Family Feud. This remains true for the Canadian version of the show, which recently saw a contestant fuck up a response with a truly astounding level of confidence.

If New York is famous for one thing, it’s gimmicky one-off stores that sell specific merchandise, like the Nintendo store, the M&M store, and the corner of the NBC store that is desperately trying to sell off the remaining Sunnyside t-shirts (if New York is famous for two things, the second is the special water that…

The Outsider opens with the discovery of a dead boy in suburban Georgia, but who killed him is no mystery. In fact, the first episode of HBO’s new series, adapted from Stephen King’s 2018 novel, chronicles what appears to be the world’s most open-and-shut case: Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman), a local coach and…

Providing a common bond between FX vampire comedies and the production of ’90s talking dolphin show Seaquest DSV—at last!—Variety reports today that Mark Hamill has filmed a guest starring role on the upcoming second season of What We Do In The Shadows. Series co-creator Jermaine Clement confirmed Hamill’s role on the…

Last week we nearly found ourselves staring down World War III because our president wanted to ensure a couple more chickenshit chickenhawk Republicans save his ass during his upcoming impeachment trial. Thankfully, it appears Armageddon has been staved off for at least another news cycle, so while we continue to…

The NFL playoffs are not just a showcase for the players. The postseason, with its gigantic TV audiences, also presents a chance for the graphic designers at our nation’s leading sports broadcasters to strut. Toiling at their workstations right up until game day, the networks’ artists compete to dazzle viewers with…

Chris Pine and Simon Pegg better wait a bit before trying on their Starfleet uniforms again, because Star Trek 4 director Noah Hawley—of Legion and Fargo fame—is suggesting that his movie will be more of a “new direction” than a straightforward sequel. This comes from a chat with Collider, where he explained that his…

Regardless of how Jeopardy!’s current “Greatest Of All Time” tournament shakes out, Ken Jennings has used his return to the trivia show to cement a reputation as one of the strongest contestants it’s ever hosted. He’s cleaned up in the series and is currently poised to win if next week goes his way. But a…

Listen: Australia is on fucking fire, man. The country is experiencing one of the worst droughts in decades, and, due to a record-breaking heatwave and strong winds, fire is spreading at a terrifying rate, destroying homes and native wildlife.

Anaïs Nin saying, “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom,” may have launched a thousand email signatures, filled warehouses with Etsy swag, and adorned many an inspirational mug. But, at their core, her words illustrate a stark truth: Growth isn’t…

Creative shake-ups are par for the course when it comes to superhero films, and Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, which drops next year, is definitely not impervious to that. Yesterday Variety reported that Scott Derrickson has stepped down as director and if the coupled statements are anything to go by,…

Since her Chelsea Lately days, comedian and writer Fortune Feimster has been weaving in and out of some of our favorite shows (including one woefully brief pit stop at Claws) to insert her brand of Southern-infused chuckles. Now, she has her own hour-long stand-up special coming to Netflix, Fortune Feimster: Sweet &…

Noah Hawley’s anthological riff on the Coens’ Fargo has always sported a wry sense of humor, but it’s perhaps as low-key zany as ever in this trailer for the show’s fourth season. As we’ve previously reported, this installment centers on a “tenuous truce” between the head of an African American crime family and the…

Sometime after George Lucas’ 1977 Star Wars had become the highest-grossing movie of all time, Francis Ford Coppola told Lucas that he should just go ahead and start his own religion. “I remember Francis saying, ‘With religion, you really have power,’” Lucas remarked years later. Lucas demurred. Maybe he realized that…
