Valentine’s Day approaches, and some of you besotted types may already be planning your February 14 proposal at your favorite restaurant, perhaps with a string quartet in tow. Well, the bad news is that your proposal, no matter how romantic, has already been trumped by filmmaker Lee Loechler, known on Twitter as …

On January 8, the British presses and the internet in general collectively lost their shit with the announcement that Meghan Markle and her husband would be stepping back from playing an active role in the British royal family: “We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the royal family and work to become…

It’s about damn time. Even for a band that has spent the past two decades taking its sweet time in between releases, it’s been more than six years since the group’s last album, the lackluster Lightning Bolt, dropped. Time for some new songs, gentlemen.

In our monthly book club, we discuss whatever we happen to be reading and ask everyone in the comments to do the same. This month, we’re highlighting our favorite books that we caught up on last year. What Are You Reading This Month?

Adam Sandler was robbed, goddammit. Uncut Gems was one of the best movies of the year and Sandler’s anxious, sweaty performance is exactly the one we all knew he was capable of delivering. He’s not sweating it, though. In a perfect tweet posted this morning, Sandler referred to himself as “Sandman” while celebrating…

Carmen Maria Machado has never written a comic before The Low, Low Woods, but you wouldn’t know after reading the first issue. The National Book Award finalist has taken to the medium exceptionally well in the new series from DC’s Hill House Comics imprint, partnering with artist Dani, colorist Tamra Bonvillain, and…

There are perhaps no podcast subjects more beloved than rich people problems and ripped-from-the-headlines true crime stories. Wondery marries the two in its new scripted drama Blood Ties. Siblings Eleanor and Michael Richland—voiced by Gillian Jacobs and Josh Gad, formidable in their respective departures from…

Yusaku Maezawa is a Japanese billionaire and the founder of online fashion retailer Zozotown—according to Forbes, as of today, he’s worth $2 billion. That’s apparently enough money to convince you that it’s time to create your own little private season of The Bachelor. And perhaps knowing that this season of The…

It looks like corporate decision-making finally did what booze, drugs, and the economic realities of low-income America couldn’t: take out the Gallaghers. Showtime announced that it has renewed Shameless for an 11th and final season, according to Deadline.

Yeah, we know: There’s a way bigger film-related conversation to be had today. However, nothing can stop the weekend box office, and while the Academy may have spoken (in a largely inexplicable fashion), there are still a few films battling it out for the ultimate recognition—the almighty dollar.

The final weeks of 2019 were a reminder that “toilet discourse” is always ready to erupt—that it bubbles and roils in the world’s collective gut, just waiting to burst out when least expected. Perhaps wishing to refute a key point in the last go-around of toilet talk—that the president believes the environment is in…

Kelly Clarkson is apparently a Schitt’s Creek fan. A big one.

As we’ve established, Trixie Mattel is a pretty serious fan of Barbie—just look at her last name. She’s harnessed their sartorial power for looks for her upcoming Grown Up tour and delved deep into the orange-tinted world of cursed sports doll Dusty. But given a little more time, Trixie was happy to take The A.V. Club …

It’s Showtime day at the 2020 Television Critics Association winter press tour, which kicked off with renewals for The L Word: Generation Q and Work In Progress. The network also announced the premiere dates for several returning series, as well as the intriguing next chapter of the Penny Dreadful franchise.

Showtime’s pairing of The L Word: Generation Q and Work In Progress has made for a great, LGBTQ+-centered lineup on Sunday nights, so it’s hardly surprising that the premium-cable network wants to keep that good thing going. During a presentation at the TCA winter press tour this morning, Showtime executives Gary…

Is there any better match of art to artist than the idea of Jared Leto playing a tortured, creative soul shunned by his community simply because he’s also kind of a draining, uber-brooding weirdo? That’s the question we’re forced to contemplate today, as Sony dropped the trailer for Morbius.

Diego, a Galapagos giant tortoise, is coming home. Having spent much of his roughly 130 years fucking every tortoise who (slowly, slowly) batted their eyelashes at him, the huge, scaly playboy has accomplished his mission of banging out a future for his species and is ready now to embrace a simpler, quieter sort of…

Any show heading into its fifth season may feel the need to take some big risks to find new stories to tell, and it’s safe to say The Magicians took a pretty massive one at the end of the fourth season by killing off its main character. The new season finds its remaining core characters unusually out of imminent…

The nominations for the 2020 Academy Awards are being announced live in Los Angeles this morning, presented by John Cho and Issa Rae. Both Cho and Rae have commented on (or, in Cho’s case, been the subject of a campaign commenting upon) the lack of diversity in Hollywood, an unspoken but ironic counterpoint to the…

We are only a few weeks into the New Year and an impeached president has already used drone technology to kill a foreign leader and threaten war using a social media platform. This same president was elected with the help of Russian bots and fraudulent accounts on another social media platform, which was also accused…

Of all the possible late-stage Bob’s Burgers developments, here’s one I really didn’t expect: Nine years in, and the show has finally figured out Gene. “Drumforgiven” follows the recent “All That Gene” as the second episode this season to focus the emotional crux of the episode on the middle Belcher, and between them…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Monday, January 13. All times are Eastern.

“Loose Ends” is the first episode of Generation Q to not feature a sex scene, which wouldn’t necessarily be significant on another show, but the original was known for its many sexual encounters, and the sequel series has been carrying that torch proudly. “Loose Ends” might not get it on, but it does zero in on…

Someone dies violently. Someone else grieves. Someone is guilty. Someone else seeks them out. All stories are matters of cause and effect, but in crime dramas, those paths stand out clearly. Crime, grief, clues, evasion, deception, pursuit, arrest, and so on, a chain of events in which even the unexpected is usually…
