Why does every waiter act like they needs to explain how menus work now? They’re menus. Appetizers up top, desserts at the bottom. We get it. That topic and more are covered in our interview with Avenue 5's Zach Woods and Rebecca Front, above. On Armando Iannucci’s new farce, premiering this weekend on HBO, the pair…

Why does every waiter act like they needs to explain how menus work now? They’re menus. Appetizers up top, desserts at the bottom. We get it. That topic and more are covered in our interview with Avenue 5's Zach Woods and Rebecca Frost, above. On Armando Iannucci’s new farce, premiering this weekend on HBO, the pair…

Just a few days after Issa Rae offered congratulations to “those men” during the Oscar nominations telecast, the rising multi-hyphenate has dropped a teaser for the fourth season of her Emmy-nominated HBO comedy, Insecure.

Back in the good ol’ days, Fridays used to mean something. “TGIF,” these modern youngsters ironically holler on the way out of their TikTok factories and back to their avocado-shaped tiny homes, oblivious to what those letters once stood for. There was a time when we would shout “TGIF!” with pride as we gathered…

Look, if you were to tell us 10 years ago that this whole “furry” thing would someday evolve into a lasting, complex meta-culture of sexual fetishes, post-ironic memes, conspiracies, occasional Nazism, and inclusivity activism, we’d have probably laughed ourselves out of breath, then returned to discussing how My…

Who is Robert Downey Jr.’s performance as the title character of Dolittle for, exactly? It’s a snuffling, shuffling, head-twitching collection of tics, with a physicality that’s more evocative of a nervous squirrel than the actual CGI squirrel who accompanies Dr. Dolittle on his adventures across the sea. Downey’s…

In a fairly major get, Apple has acquired the rights to Beastie Boys Story, a new documentary produced and directed by Spike Jonze, who directed the unforgettable video for the iconic group’s hit single, “Sabotage.” Described as a “live documentary experience,” Beastie Boys Story explores the history of the band from…

Though Game Of Thrones ended last year, its lessons reverberate throughout modern culture—lessons like, say, solving interpersonal disputes by up and demanding that they be decided upon with sword duels. As reported by the Des Moines Register, this, incredibly, is exactly what a 40 year-old man from Kansas has done.

We’re nearing the end of The Good Place (it’s hard for us to even admit that, we are bereft), so it should perhaps come as no surprise that its creator and steward, Michael Schur, is talking about it a little more freely than he otherwise might. (Case in point: Our own Erik Adams’ chat with him about last week’s…

Summer is usually the time for a nostalgia tour or two, with previously announced matchups like Matchbox Twenty and The Wallflowers, Foreigner’s Jukebox Heroes tour with Kansas and Europe, and Mötley Crüe with Def Leppard and Poison set to bring live sets of recognizable songs to fans across the country. Billboard…

What’s the point of making a Bad Boys movie without Michael Bay? Assuming that there was a point to these things, beyond giving the Wesleyan-educated frat-guy auteur an opportunity to show his portfolio of camera moves. The first one, which starred Martin Lawrence and Will Smith as a couple of wisecracking Miami…

The Battle At Big Machine could have resulted in a few more casualties (you know, beyond a prolific artist losing control over the majority of her art), but one thing did survive, and fans will get to see it it sooner than we thought. Per Pitchfork, Taylor Swift has revealed the release date for her Netflix…

Jeopardy! OG Brad Rutter failed to launch during the show’s Greatest Of All Time tournament, winning zero games to James Holzhauer’s one and Ken Jennings’ four. But he’ll always be remembered in the Jeopardy! canon, not just for being the highest-earning American game show contestant of all time, but also for getting…

The use of dispatch in the above headline may not be entirely accurate, but it’s 2020 and Trump is still our overlord and the Democrats are eating themselves again and science has confirmed that yes, your cat will fancy feast on your corpse when you die, so let us have this. Earlier today, a wild rumor appeared on…

As with so many troublesome aspects of the creative process, comedy is something that video games—currently in the “angry teenager punching walls” stage of its development as an artistic medium—is clumsily fumbling with. There have always been reliable sources for legitimately funny video games: Douglas Adams penned…

Amazon’s Emmy-winning series The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel recently dropped its third season, and yet, it took The Late Late Show With James Corden all this time to finally pick up the “Marvel’s Mrs. Maisel” matchup pun that was just sitting there, begging for some sort of humorous execution. Better late than never, we…

Just like Young Animal before it, the Hill House imprint from DC is proving to be a fascinating experiment, fostering comics that aren’t quite like what you find anywhere else. Helmed by Joe Hill of Locke & Key fame, the Hill House books are offering readers a handful of six-issue comics, each one distinct but with a…

“Eyes up here,” admonished Search Party’s John Early to Seth Meyers on Tuesday’s Late Night, since Meyers couldn’t help but let those eyes wander to the actor’s nipples, peek-a-booing through the sheer, translucent white shirt he’d borrowed from his Search Party character’s wardrobe. That’s sort of Early’s comic…

On one level, the final hour of Crisis On Infinite Earths is nothing but housekeeping. The CW’s almost ludicrously ambitious crossover-to-end-all-crossovers, a flawed but undeniably entertaining affair, needed to conclude by explaining Earth-Prime and demonstrating the new status quo; “whoops, the Anti-Monitor is…

I’m a 26-year-old bisexual woman with a history of self-harm. It hasn’t been much of an issue for the last few years, but my sex life has improved a lot in that time. I realized that I am quite submissive and masochistic, and I have found a wonderful dominant partner who I’ve gotten to explore that kink with in a…
