“Wag The Song” gives us a classic Bob’s Burgers setup, as the Belchers find themselves dealing with two of the show’s longest-tenured antagonists, Jimmy Pesto and Mr. Frond. Each of their stories are quintessentially them. Jimmy is so desperate for some more ill-conceived flash that he has installed an awning made of…

Comedian Gaby Dunn spent the fifth season of Bad With Money exploring cultural attitudes toward money outside the United States, and for the finale she leaves Earth altogether to understand the fledgling space economy. While we haven’t progressed so far as to sling around moonbucks on the I.S.S. Starbucks, there is a…

Prank calls may never regain the artistic heights they reached during their 1990s peak—an era that saw the form’s zenith with The Jerky Boys putting out CDs filled with manically stupid recordings. Still, the spirit of these telephone mavericks lives on through the internet, where channels like Not Even A Show have…

We have to give props to ABC’s Bachelor/Bachelorette producers: Not only are they able to book Victoria F.’s ex Chase Rice for a concert on her Bachelor date with Peter, or hunt down Peter’s ex to throw some shade at that same Victoria F.—they actually seem to be learning from past mistakes. By pretty much any…

Lady Gaga dropped an ecstatic new single, “Stupid Love,” on Friday, setting the stage for today’s announcement that the ubiquitous pop star, actor, and “Fortnight” fan will drop a new album in April. Contrary to previous reports, it’s not called Adele, but Chromatica.

Ah, the perils of being an exceptional woman in her field of work who happens to make the grave mistake of knowing her worth.

The supernatural comedy Extra Ordinary opens with, and periodically returns to, lo-fi VHS footage, expertly faked complete with tracking noise at the bottom of the frame. These bits are excerpts from a video series called Investigating The Extraordinary, where host Vincent Dooley (Risteárd Cooper) explains how we’re…

It took some guts for The Haunting Of Hill House’s Oliver Jackson-Cohen to step into the role of The Invisible Man. And that’s not just because—even as the film’s titular character—he’d go largely unseen. As Adrian Griffin, Jackson-Cohen plays a very real, very dangerous type of villain, essentially embodying toxic…

Orbeez, the latest toy that kids are obsessed with, are tiny, multicolored polymer beads that expand like crazy when put into water. Obviously, because they’re meant to appeal to a child’s mind, plenty of adults have also discovered that they’re perfect for doing dumb shit with on the internet. Amidst the unexpected,…

IFC’s Year Of The Rabbit boasts a fantastic performance by Matt Berry, who stars as Eli Rabbit, an investigative genius/boozehound in Victorian London. But as Mabel, the adopted daughter of the chief inspector (Alun Armstrong), Crazyhead alum Susan Wokoma more than keeps up with the What We Do In The Shadows actor.…

No, you’re not having déjà vu. The first trailer for Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of the Artemis Fowl YA series dropped back in 2018, when the film was slated for an August 2019 release date.

Ah, the coronavirus. Or, as it’s known to its creepy friends, COVID-19, the particularly virulent and insidious new strain of the corona virus. As John Oliver helpfully, calmly, and rationally laid out on Sunday’s Last Week Tonight, there’s a sneaky, “nature finds a way” evolutionary danger to this latest attempt by…

The pantheon of heroic pop culture terrorists is a tiny one, comprised mostly of characters born into oppression by a truly repressive status quo—your Katniss Everdeens, your Luke Skywalkers, etc. In the world of video games—rife as it is with heroic soldiers, cops, and other defenders of whatever “normal” happens to…

Y’all are thinking, yeah, we got this thing now. It’s in the cave, waiting. But maybe it’s waiting for you.

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Monday, March 2. All times are Eastern.

Not sure exactly what it is — the addition of a character who hates Judd as much as he deserves to be hated, the description of future fancy menu items like “wasp tapenade, owls in blankets and tree soup,” the introduction of a potential romance between Billie and Jordan, or just some good solid comedy moments. But…

“The fucking Jets... he loved them so much and all they did was disappoint.”
