It’s been a good week for games you can just casually play in your web browser and navigate away from with a quickness when your boss heads in your direction. First, there was the text-based Paul McCartney simulator, which saw you recording “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,” playing a show with Wings, or trapped inside James…

I’ve left Sundance but it hasn’t left me. Two days removed from the mad hustle of the festival—the late nights, the early mornings, the packed shuttles, the crowded screenings, the mediocre meals, the winter-camp fun of talking with fellow critics—it’s the movies that have stuck with me. As usual, I’m a little hung…

Episode 9: “Intermediate Scene Study W/ BoJack Horseman” | Episode 10: “Good Damage” | Episode 11: “Sunk Cost And All That” | Episode 12: “Xerox Of A Xerox” | Episode 13: “The Horny Unicorn” | Episode 14: “Angela” | Episode 15: “The View From Halfway Down” | Episode 16: “Nice While It Lasted”

We never imagined we’d be walking away from Riverdale’s big “Quiz Show” wanting to talk about tickling fetish videos, but here we are! Though this week’s episode throws a few curveballs at the audience, none were quite as wild and unexpected as what Kevin Keller gets into on his “Grind’em” date. As Dial M For Maple…

All the talk about Adam Sandler recently may have been centered around his fantastic turn in the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems, but Netflix is keeping its eye squarely on the most important facet of the actor and comic’s career: making sure his lavishly funded excuses for paid vacations with his friends keep getting…

Future generations will have a much better idea of what the internet has done to our brains, but, for now, we can only hazard guesses about how constant exposure to the most incredible communication device ever created is working on our psyches. If photos tweeted out of a 16-year-old boy, just waking up from wisdom…

Richard Jewell is one of recent history’s most wrongfully maligned characters. Cruelly and falsely accused of the Atlanta Olympic bombing in 1996, Jewell wasn’t completely exonerated until 2005—even though the FBI and other members of law enforcement and the media had known it wasn’t possible he’d committed the crime…

The only problem with great paintings produced by artists prior to the 21st century is that the old bags didn’t know how to turn them into animated short films. As impressive as the work of Caravaggio, Gaulli, Nouguereau, Bryullov, or other masters may be, none of these numbskulls knew how to rig their gorgeously…

“BoJack, tell us every bad thing you ever did.”

The Crown’s recently dropped season three wrapped up in 1977, with Margaret headed for a scandalous royal divorce and Charles saying goodbye to Camilla… for now. Season four of the Netflix drama promises to continue the fascinating machinations of the British monarchy, with Emma Corrin’s introduction as Princess Diana…

Today is a day that history books will look back on as a day of great injustice. Yes, likely the upcoming Senate impeachment vote, but also: We regret to inform you that someone apparently stole the pink perfect attendance pencil of adorable second-grader Taylor.

In a show full of complicated characters, Diane Nguyen is the prime candidate for BoJack Horseman’s most complicated. Even going past the whitewashing aspect of her casting—something BoJack Horseman has grappled with since the beginning and faced head-on back in season five—few characters seem to divide the viewership…

There’s a lot of music out there. To help you cut through all the noise, every week The A.V. Club is rounding up A-Sides, five recent releases we think are worth your time. You can listen to these and more on our Spotify playlist, and if you like what you hear, we encourage you to purchase featured artists’ music…

Welcome back to another edition of Film Club. Film editor A.A. Dowd is unable to join us this week, as he is in Park City, Utah covering this year’s Sundance Film Festival—check out his excellent coverage here. In his place, senior writer Katie Rife is joined by contributor Ignatiy Vishnevetsky to discuss this week’s…

At times, the people responsible for medical dramas do us all a good service by reminding us in no uncertain terms that they are not, in fact, doctors. Seeing George Clooney and Sandra Oh walking red carpets helps us remember that they’re actors and, should we choke on something or accidentally stab ourselves with a…

An Anker wall adapter, LG monitor, an itty-bitty lighter, and New Balance shoes lead off Friday’s best deals from around the web.

We first got a glimpse of the return of A Quiet Place’s Abbott family back in December, with a short teaser that just featured the first movie’s survivors—Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe—venturing off of the carefully laid path that John Krasinski’s character had kept everyone on in the last movie. The…

Earlier this week, comedian Maria Bamford dropped her latest special, Weakness Is The Brand, in which she discusses—among topics ranging from mindfulness meditation retreats to merchandise-induced anxiety—her short-lived stint on Food Network’s Worst Cooks In America: Celebrity Edition. When we had the opportunity to…

Miracle Workers: Dark Ages, the second season in Simon Rich’s comedic anthology series, wastes no time getting into the shitty conditions of the Middle Ages: questionable (to say the least) healthcare, feudalism, lack of job opportunities. But the show offers bright spots in both the time period and the cast—along…

From Hustlers to Her Smell to Homecoming, 2019 was a great year for films about female ambition—not that you’d know it from the Oscar race. Little Women is the only woman-centric film to make a major impression at this year’s Academy Awards, in a round of nominations that favored masculine viewpoints. But it wasn’t…

Former R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe’s always been the sort of thoughtful guy you’d imagine heading out to a tiny club in New York to support a friend coming back to live performing after a long time away. The soft-spoken Stipe might be less the sort of guy you imagine telling some rich, babbling asshole in attendance…

Every Friday, A.V. Club staffers kick off our weekly open thread for the discussion of gaming plans and recent gaming glories, but of course, the real action is down in the comments, where we invite you to answer our eternal question: What Are You Playing This Weekend?

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Friday, January 31, and Saturday, February 1. All times are Eastern.

“You brought me here, you knew what was gonna happen.”
