Spring is here and that means two things: It’s time to look longingly out the window during beautiful days spent in isolation and, if you’ve got a yard, climb into a hazmat suit to go tend to the plants. While there are plenty of tips out there for those who prefer traditional gardening methods, we’re pleased to share…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: Shhhhhh! We’re celebrating movies with little to no dialogue.

For morbid, sheltered bookworms who had yet to discover Stephen King, there were basically two names: R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike. Both wrote digestible teen-friendly horror that indulged in cheap thrills, heavy petting, and satisfying twists. Stine’s obviously seen his star continue to shine throughout the 21st…

Florian Schneider, the musician who helped introduce electronic sounds and instrumentation into the pop mainstream as the co-founder of Kraftwerk, has died. He was 73.

Millie Small, the Jamaican singer-songwriter who was best known for her bubbly 1964 hit “My Boy Lollipop,” died in England this week of a stroke. Chris Blackwell, friend and Island Records founder, confirmed the death to the Jamaican Observer, noting that she was a “sweet and special person” as well as “the person who…

The behind-the-scenes issues that plagued Josh Trank’s 2015 attempt at a new Fantastic Four film are no secret. The director himself aired his grievances about the post-production process in a concise, vitriolic tweet before most audiences even got a chance to see the film. A new piece from Polygon, however, goes into…

A striking composition full of familiar notes, Netflix’s The Eddy brings together an international cast, a BAFTA-winning screenwriter, a Grammy-winning producer, and an auteur whose films reveal a preoccupation with single-minded pursuits. The eight-part limited series is set in Paris’ 13th arrondissement, where…

We’ve spent so long talking about the possibility of a third Bill & Ted movie, the fact that it has now arrived still seems like a vaguely surreal hallucination, not unlike the sight of George Carlin in comically oversized clothing. Yes, much as God gave rock and roll to you, he is now giving you the conclusion of a…

Caitlin Moran has lived a bigger-than-average life. The journalist, author, and sometimes screenwriter has been on the UK scene since the early ‘90s, sporting goth makeup, a devil-may-care attitude, and penning over the top reviews and interviews for all manner of music mags. A novelization of her early years, How To…

After months in quarantine, it’s fun to engage in a bit of dark humor by asking rhetorical questions like, “Do you remember vegetables?” and “Do you remember human touch?” and “Do you remember the freedom to harmlessly cough with abandon in public spaces without drawing the panicked stares of passerby?!” It’s a bit of…

Once upon a time, long before The Real World, The Jersey Shore, and the endless parade of Teen Mom sequels and spin-offs, MTV made a better effort to live up to their name. As anyone over 33 will tell you, they actually played music, man. Now, you can relive those glory days that you may or may not actually remember…

Back in January, Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering’s then-untitled documentary examining the sexual abuse allegations against hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons was hit with a potentially fatal blow: Oprah Winfrey, who was producing the doc as part of her content deal with Apple TV+, withdrew her support of the film, citing…

Considering how terrifying the real world is right now, getting freaked out by movie or theme park ghosts feels downright quaint. Really, it’s actually the perfect time to escape our all-too-real fears by watching horror movies, reading scary stories or, as a particularly dedicated Animal Crossing: New Horizons player…

What this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival lineup lacked in marquee reunions or unexpected bookings it made up for in sheer quality—Yeah Yeah Yeahs, SOPHIE, Run The Jewels, Cat Power, Sharon Van Etten, and Phoebe Bridgers were just the beginning of the bill’s killer roster. But, as we’ve come to expect in These Trying…

Per Variety, comedian Jim Gaffigan is getting ready to play former mayor Rob Ford in a limited series for AMC. Ed Helms has also signed on as an executive producer for the dark comedy penned by Jesse McKeown (The Sinner, Letterkenny). Michael Dowse, who worked with Helms on the Netflix Original film Coffee & Kareem,…

There are so many ways to help those in need right now, but David Lynch is offering an extra incentive to attract donations to a cause near and dear to his heart: The David Lynch Foundation’s Heal The Healers Now initiative is focused on providing Transcendental Meditation to the healthcare workers on the frontlines…

Yesterday, Grimes and her Extremely Online boyfriend, Elon Musk, introduced the world to the baby boy that one will day be the King of Mars. In what some took to be a joke, Musk tweeted out that the baby’s name was X Æ A-12, and liked a tweet in which someone posited the A-12 was a reference to the ‘60s-era Lockheed…

I’ve said this before about Mrs. America, but I’ll repeat it: it’s a real shame this show is organized by character. The strain shows in this episode as it did with “Betty,” but less because Jill Ruckelshaus is a household name and more because of the huge leaps in time and story. A million things happens in this…

Webcomics are often dominated by the types of stories and creators that can’t access or aren’t welcome in the traditional print comics market, rendering them largely invisible if you don’t know what you’re looking for. That means plenty of readers have never heard of some of the largest comics audiences in the world.…

Stephen King is pretty damned impish for a guy whose been the puppet master behind the world’s nightmares for a half-century. With that Down East drawl and ready if slightly unsettling downturned smile, the Maine horror icon is nothing if not eager to stick the grinning needle in when interviewers like The Late Show’s…

I’ve been with the same amazing man a dozen years. We’ve had our ups and our downs, same as any other couple, but these days life is better than it ever has been for us. Except in the bedroom. A few years ago he started having fantasies about sucking dick. Specifically, he wanted to suck a small one because his is…

On other shows, it’s a saboteur. It’s a shapeshifter or a nefarious double-crosser, it’s someone impersonating our hero or our hero in thrall to some other entity. Maybe it’s even our hero doing the wrong thing for the right reasons—reasons which will only become clear later. But this is not other shows. This is …

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Wednesday, May 6. All times are Eastern. 

Last night, we boldly declared that Tom Cruise is going to die in outer space after reports came out that he was working on a plan to film a movie up in orbit with the help of NASA and Elon Musk’s SpaceX. Cruise has a reputation for doing his own (increasingly dangerous and elaborate) stunts, culminating in his ankle…
