Rarely have the words, “Wait—what?” been so apt. At first glance, Becky looks to be a typical family drama, with dad Jeff (Joel McHale) taking his rebellious teen daughter Becky (played by The Haunting Of Hill House’s Lulu Wilson) for a bonding weekend getaway, only to surprise her with the arrival of Jeff’s new…

It was more than two years ago that the New York Times reported on a semi-classified UFO investigation conducted at the Pentagon, and more than six months since the Navy acknowledged that clips depicting unidentified aircrafts released by Tom DeLonge’s To The Stars Academy were, in fact, legit. DeLonge, the former…

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.

Remember when it was still outlandish, the thought of people isolating themselves from the rest of the world for the foreseeable future and the greater good? Back in 1991, what we now call Tuesday looked more like science fiction invading the nightly news. Under the glare of flashbulbs and the scrutiny of a whole…

SNL’s At Home specials during this pandemic have been surprisingly successful, a testament to the talents of its current cast and everyone else who has been involved in putting these things together, but no good thing can last forever… even if the thing is only good because it’s been a reasonably good distraction…

It’s with a weary sigh that we greet every new season of Ryan Murphy’s undead American Horror Story, but, to Murphy’s credit, each outing brings with it at least one interesting wrinkle. Last year, that was its campy approach to the slashers of yesteryear, and this year it’s the casting of one-time child star Macaulay…

If you’ve followed video game news for, oh, six months, you should pretty much know what to expect when a console-maker (non-Nintendo) announces that it’s going to show off a handful of the first new games for its new system. It’s going to be the meat and potatoes stuff, like the shooters, the Madden sequel, the…

Around the midway point of every Top Chef season, the contestants are split into teams and asked to execute a pop-up restaurant in just two days. It’s a point of pride among the contestants who make it through this checkpoint in the season, and a fan-favorite challenge with unpredictable outcomes. The show has only…

Musicians and artists have been getting pretty damn creative when it comes to utilizing their largely waylaid talents to weather this pandemic, both for themselves and for charities to help combat COVID-19. There was a That Thing You Do! cast reunion on Zoom, not to mention Rita Wilson and Naughty By Nature’s “Hip Hop…

After the release of BlackkKlansman , Netflix began aggressively pursuing that chance to house a Spike Lee Joint that it could call its own. The streaming giant and the film auteur appeared to be circling a deal February of last year for Jones’ Vietnam veteran drama, Da 5 Bloods, which had cemented the casting of…

When we met, I was 18 and Brian Chankin was at most 25. At the time, he looked like a vampire. I remember he was living in the video store behind a 19th-century decoupage screen and smoking Gauloise cigarettes that he kept in cartons in the freezer. There were animals, too, mostly birds. He always had parrots and…

Finding unexpected, thoroughly inadequate silver linings to this global pandemic and its resultant quarantining might be like the Road Warrior uncovering one rusty can of dog food while scavenging for gas, but it’s something. And that’s where Samantha Bee is on Wednesday’s Full Frontal, except that the compensatory…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, May 7. All times are Eastern.

As the battle of the various Star Wars critters—Porgs vs. Ewoks vs. Jawas vs. poor ol’ Salacious Crumb, just to name a few—continues to rage, one question has clearly divided the winners from the losers: Can the creature in question be eaten? (Porgs and Crumb: Absolutely. Ewoks: Not so far!) But now we find ourselves…

Today, in Guns N’ Roses are now children’s authors news: Guns N’ Roses are now children’s authors, with Stereogum reporting that the Axl Rose-fronted band—still technically on tour after reuniting a few years back, despite all—have now gotten into the kids lit game. Specifically they’re teaming up with James…

In honor of Colin Robinson becoming the most terrifying and all-powerful supernatural being in the What We Do In The Shadows universe, a query: What’s the most boring job you’ve ever had? Mine was a part-time gig where I called people who had ordered barcode equipment online to confirm their order details. (I don’t…

It’s been a little under eight weeks since Riverdale halted production after a crew member tested positive for COVID-19, superimposing an ominous invisible countdown clock over every frame of every episode up to this one. “Killing Mr. Honey” arrives to us as a finale in spite of itself, by no means a conclusion but…

You’ll be shocked to learn, dear reader, that CBS—a network playing host to a collective 34 seasons of NCIS-branded content at the moment—has responded to the current uncertainties of the COVID-19 era with a shrugging “Hey, let’s just keep doing that thing that already works.” Indeed, the network that put the “More of…

Please take us back to a time when a show set in a contemporary dystopia brought us a certain kind of glee, mainly in its heightened fantasy. Charlie Brooker’s shiver-inducing anthology Black Mirror had a lot going for it, from its revolving door of willing stars to its range of creatively macabre hypothetical…
