Connor Ratliff, who you might recognize from The Marvelous Mrs Maisel or his excellent podcast, has spent the past six years hilariously imagining how the decidedly uncharismatic filmmaker George Lucas might fare as a talk show host. Now, to help raise money for the now-unemployed staffers of New York City’s Upright…

Two immovable Houstonians within pop culture have come together in the name of charity and decent party music. To the glee of many fans, Beyoncé has lent vocals and more than a few bars to the remix of Megan Thee Stallion’s hit “Savage” and, in a fashion that we’ve come to expect from Queen Bey, unleashed it unto the…

In the year 1774, some time before the French Revolution, a group of aristocratic libertines exiled from the court of Louis XVI gather in a secluded patch of forest for an extended night of no-holds-barred sexual debauchery. So begins Liberté, a film that, over the course of its languorous runtime, makes room for…

Ryan Murphy’s new Netflix series, Hollywood, takes place in a world that’s equal parts sin and scandal, where everyone is sleeping with everyone else, and just trying to get famous. It’s a heightened look at ‘40s Hollywood, for sure, but also one that pulls in characters from real life, including Vivien Leigh and…

In an effort to close the stable door long after the horse has bolted, YouTube announced on Tuesday that it plans to roll out “fact check information panels” on their platform in the United States. The company instituted similar fake news detectors in Brazil and India last year. The recent rise in misinformation about…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: With Black Widow postponed, we’re looking back on the best performances by Scarlett Johansson.

In addition to being embraced by both critics and Krist Novoselic, Post Malone’s recent charity set of Nirvana covers raised coffers of cash for COVID-19 relief. Now, the face-tattooed rap-rocker is seeing one of his own cuts covered, this time by another artist that, at least on the surface, doesn’t appear to occupy…

We were warned that robots would be coming for our jobs eventually, but no one could have predicted that the advent of artificial intelligence would hit the meme industry so hard. Yesterday, users on Twitter became aware of “This Meme Does Not Exist,” a new AI meme generator that uses a deep neural network to produce…

The Bachelor franchise has undergone something of a renaissance over these last several years, as the intermingling of tabloid culture, social media, influencer clout, and podcasting has managed to keep the dating series a part of the cultural conversation even when it’s not airing.

Irrfan Khan, the Bollywood mainstay who was known internationally for his roles in cinematic tentpoles Slumdog Millionaire and Life Of Pi, has died. Per The Guardian, he was admitted to the hospital in Mumbai due to a colon infection. Khan’s representative confirmed his death in a statement: “It’s saddening that this…

After conquering FX, Ryan Murphy’s slow takeover of Netflix began with last year’s debut of The Politician. The satirical dramedy series stars Ben Platt as an aspiring high school politician in the vein of Election’s Tracy Flick, and features a star-studded cast that includes Gwyneth Paltrow and Murphy fave Jessica…

For many a ‘90s kid, Ghostwriter was a pretty hot show. The PBS series combined literature and what was, at the time, somewhat advanced CGI with a group of real-looking kid actors to tell a cryptic story out of beautiful Fort Greene, Brooklyn brownstones. The show’s run was unfortunately cut short, though, when…

Hulu hasn’t made the same strides in animated series as it has in award-winning dramas, but this summer, the streamer is looking to turn things around with two new series with impressive pedigrees. Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan’s Solar Opposites, whose cast includes voice acting MVP Carlos Alazraqui, is set to crash…

Tupac Shakur is a man from Kentucky who, like so many, has lost his job because of the coronavirus pandemic. He’s a real guy and, though he shares a name with another Tupac you might’ve heard of, is neither a rapper or a person who died in 1996. Still, despite likely having lived a life filled with more Office Space Michael…

Many consider Animal Crossing: New Horizons—the latest entry to Nintendo’s series of pleasant, rural lifestyle simulations games—an escape from reality. Spending hours catching fish, strolling along the beach, and building little houses in a fantastic world where none of this requires taking leave from work (or going…

Quibi’s gotten off to a bit of a rough start since launching earlier this month, with relatively unimpressive download numbers, accusations of plagiarism, and middling reviews for its launch shows sullying the billion-dollar endeavor. That said, the short-form streamer’s got more tricks up its sleeve—see a full list…

As with so many aspects of life during COVID-19, it started with a Zoom call. Joel Hodgson and the team behind Mystery Science Theater 3000’s latest live tour were scheduled to discuss their next project over the videoconferencing service in the days before social-distancing measures and emergency lockdowns were…

We might not be able to enjoy the May flowers at the moment, but we can partake of the month’s other bounty: TV premieres. The pandemic’s impact on productions means that streamers like Netflix, Apple TV+, Amazon, and Hulu—not to mention the soon-to-launch HBO Max—dominate the schedule, ready to deploy stories about…

When Streets of Rage 4 was first announced, I was wildly skeptical. The little I saw didn’t immediately live up to expectations I’d developed for a 2D brawler series that had its last official last entry in 1994. I feel a lot better about it now. I’ve played Streets of Rage 4 for 15 hours, and, I’ve fallen in love…

You’ve got to be some kind of asshole to tell the person who wrote a song that their opinion of which one of their songs is best is incorrect, but Mark Hoppus ranked a bunch of Blink-182 singles on Twitter and, we’re sorry, but “Feeling This” is not better than “Dammit,” “I Miss You,” or “Dysentery Gary,” which…

Something I’ve struggled with in the past few episodes, through no fault of Mrs. America’s creative team, is how larger than life some of these people were. So much is known about them, their opinions, and their personal affairs that it’s hard not to put all the characters’ emotional cards on the table. Even Phyllis,…

What if the shows you steer your kids toward could actually help them become better people? We know, seems like a leap. But in the current bumper crop of animated series, many standout programs promote compassion, acceptance, and individualism right alongside their interplanetary adventures and fantastical…

At least funny people are going entertainingly nuts during the pandemic shutdown. Stephen Colbert, when not temporarily experimenting with a new hair-part (which is different than a new hairpiece), started off his Tuesday interview with The Sack Lunch Bunch’s Mr. Music Jake Gyllenhaal by getting emphatically shushed.…

I’m a 31-year-old female. Last week I suddenly started to experience an overwhelming, compulsive, and near-constant state of physical arousal. I’ve masturbated so much looking for relief that my entire lower region is super sore and swollen and still, it’s like my whole body is pulsating with this electric arousal…
