Carlo Mirabella-Davis’ Swallow was one of our favorite movies to come out of last year’s Fantasia Film Festival. Today, ahead of its March debut, the twisted psychological study has received a new trailer that has us white-knuckling the edges of our desk.

There were a number of things that last night’s Grammy Awards got right, so let’s start there. Lizzo’s opening performance, for one. Alicia Keys. Tributes to Kobe Bryant, Prince, and Nipsey Hussle. Demi Lovato. Billy Porter’s hat. All good.

As we’ve written about elsewhere on the site, the medieval period didn’t actually represent the nadir of human civilization, despite the “Dark Ages” label created by Renaissance and Age Of Enlightenment philosophers and scholars. The Victorians, grappling with their own societal ills, pushed that “worst epoch ever”…

On Christmas Eve in North Carolina, an evil shadow took up residence in the Mitchell County Animal Rescue. White and black with piercing green eyes and a disdain for all god’s creatures, this living curse took the form of a cat, described by the shelter as “a jerk” and the “world’s worst” example of her species. Now,…

Of course “Paul Revere” underscores the first teaser for Spike Jonze’s Beastie Boys documentary, which aims to tell “a little story” about “three bad brothers you know so well.”

Lots of people put on pretty clothes and walk onto red carpets, but only a few do so with real daring, and fewer still with the knowledge of what comes next. Pose’s Billy Porter is one of those few. Exhibit A: Here’s what he tweeted while at the Grammys last night.

This post discusses plot details from the latest episode of Doctor Who, “Fugitive Of The Judoon.”

“We’ve had almost identical careers in some ways,” Hugh Grant tells Matthew McConaughey in a new Rotten Tomatoes video in which the two actors read reviews of their respective films to each other. In a way, he’s not wrong, as Grant eventually turned his rom-com crown over to McConaughey, and “thank the lord,” Grant…

Ben Cholok is a Princeton graduate with a degree in philosophy and no other accomplishments. Pat Dean is a stand-up comedian who lives in ignorance. Each week on I Learned Nothing, Cholok tries to teach Dean a different philosophical concept in order to add meaning to both their lives. This has proved difficult:…

So, having gone through the worst version of how the war with the pagans could turn out, Sabrina goes through the best version of it. This time, she unites the Unholy Regalia, then uses Ambrose’s help to get back to the correct point in time to stop almost everything that happens.

Spy In The Wild is a nature show with a premise that, at long last, perfectly balances education with entertainment. The BBC commissions experts to create animatronic animals, places them in real creatures’ habitats, then watches to see what happens when various species go about their business, unaware that they’re…

I’m an idiot. Everything I own is replaced every 6 months because I obsess over the latest and greatest gear. Frankly, it’s a problem.

Stephen King, whose name will flood our streamers and cinemas forevermore, drew the ire of many earlier this month when he fired off a poorly-worded tweet about how diversity isn’t a factor for him when voting in the Academy Awards.  

The first season of Miracle Workers found God (Steve Buscemi) contemplating the destruction of Earth, speaking to the very real-world concern that everything is going to shit. For its second season—which premieres tomorrow on TBS—the anthology comedy will journey to the Dark Ages when everything already was shit,…

In a world so full of unavoidable misery, it’s always remarkable when people take it upon themselves to willingly suffer horrible things. For example: While most of us were content to experience the recent Cats movie through a few trailers starring twisted feline mutants and read reviews assuring us that it all turned…

Well, that has to be the highest death count in an episode of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina yet. By the end of the episode, Hilda’s still dead, all three Weird Sisters are goners, Zelda has been re-killed, Robin and Nick are dead, Roz and Theo are in the midst of dying, Harvey’s dead, and Sabrina, Lucifer, and…

The Witcher continues its trek across the countryside. The popularity of the Henry Cavill-led show has led to a spinoff anime called Nightmare of the Wolf, a soundtrack featuring Jaskier’s tunes, and even a 500,000-book reprint of the original series. We reached out to Andrzej Sapkowski, creator of The Witcher, to get…

The Grammys are a mess. Just days before this year’s ceremony, Recording Academy CEO Deborah Dugan was unceremoniously ousted as reports swirled about her concerns over “voting irregularities” and “conflicts of interests” within the organization. Dugan then filed a lawsuit against her former employer, accusing it of…

The condemned: Grand Isle (2019)

Supergirl isn’t a show I watch for plot, which is good because “Back From The Future—Part One” doesn’t really have one. Okay, technically there are events that bring our heroes together and a desperate rush to save the future that ostensibly gives the whole thing stakes. But, for the most part, that’s just a loose…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Monday, January 27. All times are Eastern.

Tonight’s episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm takes a closer look at Larry’s propensity for lying out of convenience, from the little half-truths and lies of omission often used to smooth things over to the lies that take on lives of their own. In “Side Sitting,” Larry lies to deflect judgment from cousin Andy (Richard…

The Grammys are a fairly straightforward awards show (we like music, so here’s four hours of music and two minutes of awards), but this year’s ceremony has spawned one extremely pressing question: Who’s the guy with the skeleton face sitting right in the front?

First season finales are a tough formula to crack. There has to be just enough resolution to satisfy, a natural—if not conclusion, culmination—of some of the season’s central arcs. Tension and conflict building without any semblance of release and payoff leaves viewers floating. But, especially when a show’s future is…

The premiere of Avenue 5 had a lot of legwork to do, introducing its large cast and sending its more lavish S. S. Minnow off course. Now that the core ensemble are established and the stakes of the situation are clear—over 5,000 passengers and crew are stranded in space, their eight week pleasure cruise now a…
