Logan Paul has made some choices in his life, some bad, some very bad, and some terribly, woefully bad. That, of course, hasn’t stopped the YouTuber from becoming rich beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. So rich is Paul that he apparently spent $90,000 on a hideous couch for his L.A. mansion. This, he says, is “one of two…

Nine years after abruptly leaving Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and breaking the central dynamic that made that show so good in the first place (every detective represented an emotional reaction that one might have to a horrible crime and it was really clever!), Christopher Meloni is returning to the Dick Wolf…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: The teen superhero movie New Mutants, from Fault In Our Stars director Josh Boone, has been postponed again. In its absence, we’re looking back on YA adaptations. 

The world is in a dire place these days, and if there’s one thing that might be able to pull us together and get us through this dark period, it’s a hero. Someone who can fly through the air with their tongue hanging out and just straight-up space jam on some fools. Apparently ESPN agrees, because it has announced…

For better or worse, a lot of celebrities have recently taken to social media along with the rest of us during their self-quarantines. We could give you a list of the ones to check out right now, but honestly, all of them are officially irrelevant at this point. Our reasoning? Jack Black has a TikTok account now, and…

The triumphant story about a trophy girlfriend from Flushing-turned-best caretaker in Manhattan is still a widely beloved ‘90s sitcoms almost 21 years after the series finale—so much so that fans often wonder (audibly, might we add) when the six-season wonder will be available on streaming platforms. Star and…

Whether he’s performing as Papa John’s Misty or provoking Larry David with his cute lil mailman shorts on Curb Your Enthusiasm, Jon Daly is a dependable laugh factory. Combine that natural comedic talent with sheer pandemic-driven ingenuity, and you’ve got yourself a stew going. For his latest goof ’em up, Daly…

“Everything is awful,” we scream-sing at the top of our internal monologue lungs as we peruse headlines for hours on end, scouring the internet for any news that is “good” or even “fine.” We look up to the streaming gods and shout, “Save us!” and actually they’ve been pretty generous through this whole thing, so at…

Many Project Runway fans were devastated when longtime hosts Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn left after 16 seasons for a new then-unnamed Amazon show. Last week, the first three episodes of Making The Cut finally dropped, showcasing 12 new designers; a noticeably higher production value, with shoots in Paris and Tokyo; and an…

“What’s it like to be married to Betty Boop?” is a question that has plagued mankind (but not womankind) since 1930, when the impossibly-proportioned cartoon lady made her animated debut. For 90 years—an entire grandpa—Betty Boop has been an icon for sexual misadventure, launching countless awkward boners and deluding…

In the forward to Anthony Daniels’ tell-all book about his lifetime of experiences with the Star Wars franchise, director J.J. Abrams likens the C-3PO costume to a sensory-deprivation tank. It’s true: The iconic gold-plated body suit of the heroic protocol droid severely limited Daniels’ field of view, and left him…

For those of us who catch ourselves looking at our pets’ placid, unconcerned faces and longing to give up the gift of abstract thought to be more like them, music about human life isn’t what we want to hear right now. Fortunately, we’ve come upon the work of someone who goes by RxCK STxR—a musician seemingly devoted…

While many cities across the country have issued “shelter-in-place” orders in an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19, there are still a lot of people who have no choice but to leave their homes every day—these are the workers making sure our essential functions like grocery stores, pharmacies, hospitals, and police…

Less than two years since it was first published, Sally Rooney’s hit novel Normal People is set to debut as a 12-episode series via Hulu and the BBC. Today saw a trailer drop for the intimate exploration of sex, class, and power, and, well, let’s just say it’s noe something you’ll want to watch with your parents.

We’ll take a morale boost anywhere we can get it right now, which is why we’re so grateful to members of the late night gang for keeping up with the shenanigans with video chats—like this one, from last night’s episode of Conan, in which Conan O’Brien talks with his pal (and neighbor, apparently) Adam Sandler. It…

For weeks we were warned that this nation was in no way prepared for the havoc the coronavirus pandemic will rain upon us, and guess what? We really probably should have listened to those warnings more closely. We know things are getting really unpredictable, with every day’s news cycle throwing us more curveballs…

As grim as things may be right now, the pandemic offers opportunities to those able to spot them. Take, for example, the enterprising goats of Llandudno, Wales, which have figured out that the current lock down means there are no humans to get in the way of their municipal takeover.

Home Before Dark, a new mystery series on Apple TV+, is inspired by Hilde Lysiak, a real-life kid reporter on her own local news beat. But some viewers may more quickly recognize one of its other pop-cultural reference points. The show’s Hilde Lisko (Brooklynn Prince) is a self-publishing 9-year-old investigative…

Absolute madman Conner O’Malley, who we last saw terrorizing New York City’s Hudson Yards, is back, this time to smoke 500 cigarettes in an effort to “raise awareness” for 5G technology. While O’Malley’s love for the corporate behemoth that is Verizon is well-documented, his embrace of T-Mobile is a new development,…

April’s slate of album releases looked a lot different a month ago. Due to the myriad setbacks attributable to COVID-19, LPs from Lady Gaga, HAIM, and Hinds got pushed back, while Dua Lipa just went ahead and dropped Future Nostalgia a week early. No matter, there’s still plenty of good stuff arriving this month,…

Mark Wahlberg could have prevented 9/11. That’s not exactly what he said to Men’s Journal back in 2012, but it was close enough to warrant a sort-of apology days later. It was also an expression of actorly hubris memorable enough to outlive some of his movies: In certain circles, the image of the…

Every crisis breeds an unlikely TV star, and, thankfully, the media presence of National Institute of Allergy And Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci provides ours. As the coronavirus continues to do truly terrible things to the entire globe, the indefatigable Fauci counters by making the rounds of…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, March 31. All times are Eastern. 

It’s an episode called “Everyone,” which means Dispatches From Elsewhere aims to bring together the gang, despite the fractures it has sustained recently. And this installment might be one of the best yet.

We’re starting to see how the massive Hollywood shutdown for the coronavirus is going to impact the future of the movie industry beyond April and June, at least in a small way that doesn’t involve people losing their jobs or projects losing funding. According to Deadline, two of Sony’s big summer movies have now been…
