You’re probably familiar with Cameo, the service that lets you book famous/almost famous/used-to-be famous people to deliver video messages to your loved ones. You can have Debbie Gibson deliver your Galentine’s message to your best friend for $150, or Larry Thomas, a.k.a. Seinfeld’s “Soup Nazi,” deliver a stern…

Narcos: Mexico changed the game of its namesake Netflix series by shifting its focus away from Pablo Escobar’s Colombian cocaine empire to the early days of the North American war on drugs, particularly as Félix Gallardo (Diego Luna) began building a cannabis empire of his own. The first season found its hero in DEA…

Apparently HBO wasn’t scared off by the vague title and the existence of a significant role for Josh Gad, because the premium cable network has renewed Armando Iannucci’s space comedy Avenue 5 for another season. This is especially good news for everyone involved, because it means HBO has some faith in the show, as it…

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Emilio Estevez will reprise his role as Coach Gordon Bombay in The Mighty Ducks, Disney+’s 10-episode revival of the classic kids sports movie franchise. It sounds like he’ll still be coaching the team, so this won’t be a little one-off cameo, and he’ll also be executive producing…

The Guardians Of The Galaxy thought they would get a break after saving the universe for the bajillionth time, but there’s always a new threat waiting on the horizon, looking to seize control. Picking up on threads from last year’s excellent Avengers: No Road Home miniseries, the new Guardians Of The Galaxy series by…

We are fast approaching a critical point in food gimmick distraction videos, and that it is important—no, that it is our duty—to finally take a stand and say, “Enough is enough.” The madness must end before it’s too late. Don’t believe us? Watch the video below, which will have you shouting “No...no...NO NO NO NO,” at…

Happy Galentine’s Day, A.V. Club readers! Our gift to you is a chat with one of the founders of the holiday, Amy Poehler. She’s got a new show, Duncanville, premiering this weekend on Fox, which she co-created, produces, and stars in as both the mother and the teenage son. In the interview above, we talk about the…

About 13 minutes into the fifth episode of Hulu’s hip-hop-infused, sci-fi drama Utopia Falls, burgeoning revolutionaries Aliyah 5 (Robyn Alomar) and Bohdi 2 (Akiel Julien) are seen engaging in an age-old debate regarding the merits of “old school” versus “new school.” As an up-and-coming scholar of the now-ancient…

As the director of films like Crazy Rich Asians and the upcoming In The Heights, Jon M. Chu has become a Hollywood force to be reckoned with, bringing big-budget, grand scale projects to the big screen. But over a decade ago, Chu and pal Adam Sevani were fresh out of Step Up 2 and putting together massive projects of…

Yes, our democracy is collapsing. Our president repeatedly violates the Constitution as his Republican sycophants smooch his soles, the 2016 Democratic primary was a mess, and presidential candidate/newly-minted meme king Mike Bloomberg is doing everything he can to buy his way into the Oval Office. And now, thanks to …

A whole new generation of puppies is growing up having spent their youth gazing at posters of sports heroes like Spuds MacKenzie and Tillman, the skateboarding bulldog, and dreaming of one day achieving a similar level of coolness. We are pleased to report that one of them, a miniature dachshund named Rowdy, has…

On a recent episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers, Sonic The Hedgehog star Ben Schwartz dropped some news that has nothing to do with whether or not hedgehogs have realistic, human-like teeth: He and comedy buddy Thomas Middleditch (of Silicon Valley, the Verizon ads, and that informative Playboy interview) are…

Nostalgia for the glossily cozy rom-coms of the 1990s is a major driving force behind the romantic comedy revival that’s come to dominate movie theaters and streaming services in the past few years. For her own addition to this canon, writer/director Stella Meghie (The Weekend, Everything, Everything) takes…

It’s been almost three months since a very sweaty, very normal “Papa John” Schnatter promised a “Day of Reckoning” to the corporate conspirators who ousted him from his grease-slathered pizza throne, and so far we’re still sans reckoning for these imposters to the crown. Of course, this might be in part due Schnatter’s…

Fuck Jerry, the joke-stealing Instagram account most famous for helping make Fyre Festival such a roaring success and pissing off pretty much every comedian who’s ever heard of them, is not known for its scruples. It comes as no surprise, then, that some of the people behind the company are involved with another…

In 2010, the notion of a small-time, Beatles-esque psychedelic project growing into a global festival headliner may have seemed too Woodstock-y to be true, but this has been Tame Impala’s exact trajectory over the last decade. As Kevin Parker’s psych-rock band expanded past the wah-drenched stylings of its 2010 debut, …

The thing about The Thing About Harry is that it’s not trying to fool anyone: it’s a romantic comedy through and through. With a tip of the hat to When Harry Met Sally (and even Hitchcock’s The Trouble With Harry before it), the Freeform original movie hopes to carve out some more space in the genre for LGBTQ stories.…

As spring break approaches for the intrepid teens of Riverdale, so too does the apparent death of Jughead Jones—the (likely) red herring the show’s been setting up since the season three finale. And with sthe hocking climax of “The Ides Of March,” the disparate pieces of this season are finally starting to fall into…

Who wants to hear some good-natured blasphemy? Following last year’s excellent reissue of The Frogs’ notorious It’s Only Right And Natural LP, the band is coming full circle: For the first time ever on vinyl, the music recorded way back in January 1986—and originally intended to be the group’s first release—is finally…

A24 and A Ghost Story’s David Lowery have been relatively quiet about the filmmaker’s latest project, but with its May 29 release on the horizon, the distributor has unveiled the first trailer for The Green Knight and it looks—for lack of a better phrase—sick as fuck. Loosely based on the 14th century Arthurian legend …

I’m not sure what to make of the Picard we’re seeing in Picard. It’s been a few years since I’ve watched much Next Gen, but I can’t help thinking there’s a gap between the way Picard is now, and the way he once was, which I’m struggling to reconcile. To an extent, I believe this gap is intentional. Much of what we’ve…

Linda Hamilton didn’t just achieve success with her role as Sarah Connor in the Terminator films. She became an international icon, an actor whose presence in Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day heralded her entry into the pantheon of action heroines, expanding and adding new shades to the representation of…

What with the ongoing destruction of American democracy by a failed steak salesman and reality show sex criminal and his army of pasty Republican sycophants, Full Frontal host Samantha Bee is pretty busy these days. Why, just last night, she had to run down how Donald Trump is scouring the Department Of Justice of any…
