David Mamet’s Glengarry Glen Ross is one of the best plays of the ‘80s, one of the best movies of the ‘90s, and one of the most toilet-mouthed pieces of art of all time. Sure, its soul-crushing depiction of Chicago real estate hustlers and the weight of the grind is plenty absorbing, but the real joy comes from…

Gigi Goode, the early favorite to win the current season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, is just 21 years old. That means that she was 10 years old when the show first premiered on Logo in 2009, and was a mere glint in her costume designer mom’s eye when RuPaul was hosting her own VH1 talk show and mixing and mingling…

According to Deadline, Netflix has been cleared to release Korean crime movie Time To Hunt, which as been stuck in limbo after its original theatrical run in Korea was canceled back in February due to the spread of the coronavirus. Netflix stepped in and made a deal with production company Little Big Pictures for the…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: Antlers, a horror movie adapted from a story by Nick Antosca, is not hitting theaters. In its absence, we’re looking back on other movies based on short stories.

Howard Finkel, the memorable WWE ring announcer known as “The Fink,” has died. WWE confirmed his passing in a statement on Thursday, though no cause of death was given. He was 69.

Brian Dennehy, the legendary, award-winning stage actor whose work set the standard in stage, television, and film, has died. The Death Of A Salesman and Cocoon performer was also a Chicago theater staple and was recognized for his indelible, decades-long impact. His daughter Elizabeth Dennehy confirmed the acting…

Everyone remembers those iconic Chicago Bulls intros from the ‘90s, with the Alan Parsons Project song and the animated bull charging through the streets of Chicago, eventually building up to the big moment when the announcer would scream: From North Carolina… MICHAELLLL FUCKING JORDAAANNN! Alright, it didn’t always…

In the new movie Bad Therapy, Alicia Silverstone plays Susan Howard, a struggling middle-aged realtor who’s just not happy with her marriage’s status quo. Inspired by those around her who she perceives as better off, she wrangles husband Bob (played by Rob Corddry) into couples therapy. The catch? Unbeknownst to them,…

As officials across the country implement shelter-in-place orders in response to covid-19, many Americans are spending a lot more time at home. I don’t know about you, but I’ve spent a lot of time on my couch, most of it with a video game controller in hand. But there’s a drawback to spending hours a day replaying The…

Last night, NBCUniversal’s Peacock streamer introduced us to its Saved By The Bell reboot with a clip of A.C. Slater bragging about banging students’ moms. Now, they’ve chased it with a handful of other teasers for its slate of original shows, which include a Punky Brewster reboot, the revived A.P. Bio, and a take on…

There’s a reason that that 2017 comedy Girls Trip was such an unmitigated success: its leading women. The natural, unteachable chemistry between Queen Latifah, Regina Hall, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Tiffany Haddish fueled the vacation romp while highlighting four very distinct comedic talents—especially in the case of…

Despite how unlikely it seemed last summer, Village Roadshow’s universe of Myst content—inspired and adapted from the iconic computer game of the same name—is actually moving forward (just very slowly, almost as if it’s going through one static image at a time and then randomly clicking on things until something…

In Drunk Bus, Dave Hill plays Devo Ted, the eBay stalking weed dealer buddy of Charlie Tahan’s Michael, a recent college graduate who seems stuck in both his dead-end job and in the ghost of a recent relationship. Based on director Brandon LaGanke’s time driving the drunk bus at Kent State University, the film—which…

If you’ve binged anything on cable and/or Hulu these past few weeks, you’ve probably noticed the new wave of commercials promising viewers that all will be well in due time and that, now reassured of this, we should go ahead and keep spending our money. What makes it all feel that much ickier is that every one of…

Drake Doremus specializes in the indie drama equivalent of bougie engagement and wedding photos, complete with out-of-focus string lights, wet beaches, and handsomely groomed people who’ve been told to just act natural for the camera. But even by these low standards, his new film, Endings, Beginnings, is a complete…

The actor: Patricia Clarkson is one of those chameleon-like actors who has been in so many projects since her 1987 film debut, in The Untouchables, that you’re bound to recognize her from something, even as she transforms with each role. From her memorable performance as a drug-addicted German artist in the indie film …

Martha Stewart went to prison, refused to snitch, and emerged stronger than before, rebuilding her bruised media empire and forging a shockingly fruitful bond with Snoop Dogg. She’s earned a few cocktails, so we offer no shade when in pointing out this hilarious, booze-fueled comment she left on the Instagram page of…

For weeks we’ve struggled to find an image to properly visualize the grim, absurdist horror that is this year’s coronavirus pandemic. Could it be photos of store shelves bereft of toilet paper? Horny (and now, apparently regretful) teens determined to still rage through their spring breaks? Rat turf wars?

The last episode of Devs is upon us, and this series has been an excellent wild ride. It’s remarkable how well the show has been able to balance truly excellent, thoughtful storytelling with dramatic and suspenseful twists and turns. It makes you think hard about subjects such as determinism, free will, and the power…

Twelve seasons in, RuPaul’s Drag Race has become firmly entrenched in TV’s mainstream. The series has been nominated for dozens of Emmy awards, inspired multiple spin-offs and international versions, and boosted the careers of hundreds of alumni. Drag Race queens have headlined shows on YouTube, Viceland, and Netflix,…

Wings isn’t likely to top anyone’s “best TV shows” list. But it’s probably difficult to find someone who was of TV-viewing age in the 1990s who isn’t at least slightly familiar with the sitcom, which celebrates its 30th anniversary on Sunday, April 19. Not only was the series a major component of various NBC weeknight…

Listeners to Conan O’Brien’s enormously popular, thunder-stealing podcast Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend have clued into the fact that Conan’s got a great new sidekick. Not that comedy life partner Andy Richter is going anywhere (except his own, very entertaining podcast Three Questions With Andy Richter), but Conan’s…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, April 16. All times are Eastern.

Few actors have plunged themselves further into the depths of Weird Voice Acting more enthusiastically than Tom Hardy, an undeniably charismatic performer whose dedication to his “I don’t know, it’s kind of Marlon Brando but with an oil monster jutting out of his neck” accent stylings must consistently be heard to be…

One of the advantages of making What We Do In The Shadows into a TV series is the opportunity it presents to fling open the doors—I’m picturing big French doors with billowing curtains, like in a Meatloaf video—to the monstrous possibilities teased in the showdown between the vampires and the werewolves in Taika…
