Following a torrent of fan criticism and a public rebuttal from none other than Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Potter fans have been hoping for J.K. Rowling come to her senses. And the title of a new essay on her website, “J.K. Rowling Writes about Her Reasons for Speaking out on Sex and Gender Issues,”…

“Those annoying, feckless losers that I live with? Are my family.” If you don’t know Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero)—she of the 64 different personalities, each with its own superpower—it’d be easy to miss just how heartwarming the sentiment is. After a first season that saw Doom Patrol bring together its disparate group…

Last week, HBO made Wyatt Cenac’s Problem Areas and Anna Deavere Smith’s Notes From The Field available for free on YouTube. The most recent episode of Last Week Tonight is also available in full. CNN and Sesame Street’s town hall on racism can be streamed for free, so can Oprah Winfrey’s special Where Do We Go From…

Who doesn’t love a good disaster movie? In 1996, the answer was apparently nobody. Coming in only behind Independence Day, Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton’s Twister closed out the year as the second-highest grossing film. Over the past 24 years since, there’s always been a murmur (both in Hollywood and just among fans) of…

Brands are not your friends. Sassy tweets from fast food chains might make it seem otherwise, but they are not. They exist to make money; when they take a stand, it’s often at least in part to raise their bottom line and/or profile. On the other hand, brands (and corporations) are made up of people, and sometimes…

Harrison Ford. Liam Neeson. Tom Hanks. These are just some of the brave actor-men who have saved civilian lives aboard an aircraft for our viewing pleasure. Today, Amazon Prime is proud to present to you the latest in a long tradition of movie airplane heroes: Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Oh, yes. Really.

In The King Of Staten Island, Pete Davidson plays Scott, a guy who’s still coming to terms with the death of his firefighter father, almost 20 years after it happened. It’s a take on Davidson’s own story—his father died working for the NYFD on 9/11—but it’s also a part of a larger universal story about learning to…

Due to licensing agreements, various movies and TV shows exit streaming services every month and migrate to other platforms. But it would be pretty damn weird if, say, a Netflix Original series like Orange Is The New Black suddenly left and re-appeared on Amazon for a few months. Things appear to be a little more…

Win Butler is a man of many talents. Having already released a slew of excellent albums with the Arcade Fire, the singer’s taken to covering Disney songs, calling Paul McCartney an “old freaky fucker,” and, it appears, acting.

In the early and mid-2000s, David Lynch’s Rabbits—a nightmarish, bunnified version of a sitcom—was passed around on burned DVDs and discussed in tones that suggested watching it was as harrowing as screening a copy of that tape from The Ring. Now, Lynch having emerged as one of 2020's hottest up-and-coming YouTubers,…

Every year, the Peabody Awards committee selects 30 programs as the “the most compelling and empowering stories released in broadcasting and digital media” during the previous year. When reflecting on 2019 (which seems about 57 years ago at this point), the board of 19 jurors ultimately choose to honor a variety of…

Look, it is fantastic that the entertainment industry is using this moment of righteous civil unrest to take a good, hard look at the many, many ways it has relied on systematic racism to function. The contract terminations, the messages of support, canceling COPS... It’s all indicative of what we hope will be…

Rage Against the Machine—a band whose 1992 debut includes lyrics like “I warm my hands upon the flames of the flag” and “Bam, here’s the plan; Motherfuck Uncle Sam”—has always been clearly, loudly political. And yet, because it’s 2020 and every dipshit take must eventually surface on social media, a guy on Twitter…

As widespread protests continue unabated, there’s been mounting pressure on President Trump in recent days to address a terrified and lost nation on live television, in what both critics and allies hope could be an appeal for unity. This, of course, might be news to some of you, since there’s been a decidedly louder…

My relationship with games is heavily marked by two starkly different experiences. The first took place in the modest college apartment that my then-fiancé and I shared just after graduation. I was saddled with a dead-end degree, a mildly abusive office job, and virtually no options to improve my circumstances.…

Just a day after the city of Chicago made it clear Lollapalooza wouldn’t be rearing its sweaty, glitter-encrusted head this year, Billboard reports that Coachella will also be taking 2020 off. In early March, after SXSW canceled its annual blowout due to concerns over COVID-19, Coachella announced it would be…

Spike Lee’s cultural messaging for once fails him in the politically muddled Da 5 Bloods. With the film, Lee offers his submission to a history of bloodied, masculine Vietnam War movies. Sadly, he’s more concerned with making a Vietnam movie that looks Black than one that actually takes on the complexities of B…

Brave, Pixar’s 13th film, marked multiple milestones for the animation studio. It was the first Pixar movie to center on a female protagonist, as well as the first to be directed by a woman—Brenda Chapman, who also has the distinction of being the first woman ever to helm an animated feature for a major studio. When…

After Seth Meyers’ Monday interview with Terry Crews, a conversation on race with a marginal former National Football League linebacker turned media figure who didn’t just say something regrettable and widely mocked would be a real palate cleanser. Luckily, Stephen Colbert invited to The Late Show former journeyman…

Hey, everybody: We had our first Savage Love Livestream event last Thursday night and I had such a blast! A huge crowd of Savage Love readers and Savage Lovecast listeners got together on Zoom for a live online Q&A that raised more than $14,000 for Northwest Harvest, an organization that supports food banks in my home…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Wednesday, June 10. All times are Eastern.

Sorry, Christopher Nolan. Your movie about time guns and backward car chases or whatever is becoming less and less special by the day—or at least by the month. When every other movie was pulled from the theatrical release schedule because of the coronavirus, Nolan’s Tenet stood its ground as the only big movie that…
