Originally released as a comic series starting in 2008, Locke & Key has been in one stage or another of Hollywood production for about 12 years, bouncing from studio to studio and production house to production house. Finally, though, it’s getting its biggish screen debut this weekend, when 10 episodes of the series…

The actual Academy Award statue is pretty much worthless. Despite what it means for the careers of those who receive them, the trophies themselves aren’t all that valuable as actual objects. Still, back in 2000, a shipment of the statues disappeared in a theft that would eventually lead, in a circuitous way, to a…

“Is it better to live as a monster, or die a good man?” Martin Scorsese was talking about his film Shutter Island when he said those words in 2010, but they could just as easily apply to The Irishman.

BoJack Horseman is gone, long live BoJack Horseman. But while the real-life version may not be as deranged and/or devoted to familial reunions as her fictional counterpart, Character Actress Margo Martindale is alive and well—and the first trailer for Blow The Man Down, Amazon Studios’ forthcoming piece of New England…

In honor of the fast-approaching 92nd Academy Awards—airing this Sunday, February 9—Film Club is looking back at the Best Picture nominees we didn’t cover last year. The last nominee on the list is Taika Waititi’s “anti-hate satire,” Jojo Rabbit, a film that is part-Holocaust drama, part-broad satire, but wholly…

Mike Bloomberg is a 77-year-old multi-billionaire and former New York City mayor. He is not, to put it lightly, the kind of guy who the average young voter thinks of as relatable. Still, fueled by his bottomless coffers, Bloomberg’s campaign team has been working hard to try to figure out ways to shift his image from…

In the past, we’ve explored the kind of music that cats and dogs might enjoy listening to, but there haven’t been many opportunities to discuss what sort of tunes our furry pals like to create for themselves. As it turns out, cat music is as wide-ranging as our own, ranging from the naked commercialism of horribly…

The term “yuppie” wasn’t in use yet, but Ted is one. He’s on an upward trajectory at work, and he hangs out at the office long after the day is done,…

Patton Oswalt is many things.

When it comes to bad opinions presented boldly, it’s hard to beat The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Brutally Honest Oscars Ballot feature.
