Jorge “Hurley” Garcia hasn’t really been idle since Lost concluded ten years ago, appearing in TV series from Once Upon A Time to Hawaii Five-O. Now he steps up to star in a new Netfix movie, Nobody Knows I’m Here (original title: Nadie Sabe Que Estoy Aquí), as Memo Garrido, a former famous child singer living in…

Parks And Recreation and Community both had big online reunion specials during this quarantine and John Krasinki orchestrated some fun The Office moments on his now-corporate-owned feel-good web show, leaving pretty much only 30 Rock as the critically acclaimed NBC comedy show of that era to not put everybody on a…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: Pixar’s Soul was supposed to hit theaters. In its absence, we’re looking back on other cinematic depictions of the afterlife.

In the space of just a few weeks, Josh Gad has capitalized on the fact that celebrities are probably a lot more willing to do interviews if they don’t have to leave their homes in order to bring the internet just about every movie cast reunion they could want. Following his Lord Of The Rings, Back To The Future, and …

There’s a reason people keep returning to Groundhog Day’s concept of infinite looping timelines—it lends itself as much to philosophy as it does comedy. How does one change when they know they become an eternal, all-knowing god? It’s a narrative style that’s been toyed with time and again in the years aince Harold…

Kids these days sure do love them some TikTok—almost as much as film buffs love them some sprawling, ponderous films from prestige festival darlings like, say, Nicolas Winding Refn and Alfonso Cuarón. It stands to reason, then, that the children of the world’s greatest visual storytellers are fans of the viral video…

Ask any fan of RuPaul’s Drag Race, and they’ll tell you: Bob The Drag Queen is a force to be reckoned with. The season 8 winner—real name: Caldwell Tidicue—has followed up her win with multiple comedy tours, seemingly hundreds of hosting gigs, just about every single drag revue on the road right now, and a degree of…

While the MTV Movie & TV Awards and the Oscars are being pushed back due to the coronavirus pandemic, somehow the Emmys are still on track. Maybe. “I don’t know where we will do this or how we will do this or even why we are doing this, but we are doing it and I am hosting it,” Jimmy Kimmel revealed in a statement…

For as many times as it’s been exhaustively revived and revisited over the decades, the zombie sub-genre has yielded only a few truly awesome standouts—including 2016's Train To Busan. Four years (and an animated prequel) later, South Korean filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho is back with a sequel, Train To Busan: Peninsula.…

Today, as coronavirus cases continue to spike throughout the country, a new compilation honoring Fountains of Wayne songwriter Adam Schlesinger, who died in April due to COVID-19 complications, has arrived. Saving For A Custom Van, a Bandcamp exclusive from Father and Daughter Records and Wax Nine, will see all of its…

COVID-19 may have wiped out all large congregations for the foreseeable future, but it hasn’t stopped some of the biggest comic-cons in the world from pivoting to the near-boundless world of virtual reality. San Diego Comic-Con, for instance, will kick off SDCC @ Home in July in an effort to provide some version of…

It’s been nine years since Sean Durkin released his debut feature, Martha Marcy May Marlene. In the time since, Durkin has produced features with his Borderline Films collective, including Simon Killer, Christine, and The Eyes Of My Mother, and directed the 2013 Channel 4 drama Southcliffe. Durkin finally returns this…

Finding Dory sticks close to the Pixar formula. It is, like Cars 2 and Monsters University before it, a follow-up that promotes a secondary character to the position of protagonist, while also recycling plot elements that worked for its predecessor (in this case, characters searching for someone). Dory also trots out…

For the first time in its 20-year history, Star Wars Celebration has been canceled. The organizers of the event made the announcement via the official website, citing—literally what else—concerns over the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. “At Star Wars Celebration, the health and safety of our fans, attendees, exhibitors,…

Behind every meme, there’s a story. Sometimes that story is as straightforward as the meme itself, but, as is the case with the guy who lent his face to the “Hide The Pain, Harold” meme, there’s a normal person who just happened to make an expression funny enough to spark an internet sensation.

Judging from their merciless mocking of the destitute, brutal takedowns of Sesame Street, and jaw-dropping feats of racial stereotyping, the folks at Fox News don’t seem to possess anything approximating a sense of humor. At the very least, they certainly don’t seem to recognize when others are just joking around, as…

In our monthly book club, we discuss whatever we happen to be reading and ask everyone in the comments to do the same. What Are You Reading This Month?

Today is Bloomsday, an annual celebration of James Joyce’s Ulysses that doubles as a sort of literary free-for-all, with some aesthetes boozing in costume as others attempt the herculean task of unpacking the tale of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus’ twisty trip through Dublin for rapt audiences. Stephen Colbert and…

The second recent documentary focused on Roy Cohn, Bully. Coward. Victim.: The Story Of Roy Cohn is as stuffed and jumbled as its title’s punctuation. Despite this, the film manages to inject some genuine personality into its Wiki reckoning of Cohn’s cursed résumé. The disbarred lawyer, fixer, and all-around political…

Note: This article contains very minor plot details from The Last Of Us Part II and major details from the original Last Of Us (including discussion of its ending).

The start of a new week saw most of the late-night shows moving on from a few previous weeks of giving over their platforms to mostly Black guests in the wake of the massive, worldwide, and still very much ongoing Black Lives Matter protests after the murder of George Floyd. There was plenty of stuff about the fact…

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

Playing a main character in a Star Wars movie tends to have the unfortunate side effect of… completely ruining your acting career, and while most of the new cast from Disney’s sequels will probably be fine, we still haven’t seen a whole lot of post-Star Wars work from Daisy Ridley. That’s still the case, but at least…

Famous people working together! The bread and butter of pop culture news! According to Deadline, celebrated director Ben Stiller (of Escape At Dannemora and also apparently a successful comedy acting career before that) is teaming up with Oscar Isaac for London, a movie based on what Deadline refers to as a “new short…

Earlier today, T-Mobile started suffering some network outages that were so widespread that people started to believe that the country’s entire cellphone infrastructure had collapsed. To make matters worse, this coincided with a spike in user reports that Facebook Messenger and Instagram were also down, leading users…
