David Lynch is using his time in quarantine to get closer to fans, with his David Lynch Theater YouTube channel offering peeks into his daily routine, his thoughts on the weather, and even his dreams, as well as access to rare shorts, such as the eerie “Pozar” and the first episode of his Rabbits sitcom.

The Daily Show’s always been a wry look at American politics and news media, so many were surprised when its former host Jon Stewart made his directorial debut with the earnest, joke-free Rosewater. Stewart’s sophomore effort, however, feels more of a piece with the nightly Comedy Central show, both in its…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: With Jon Stewart’s Irresistible headed for home-viewing platforms—and with November 3 on the horizon—we’re looking back at other films about elections or political…

Ron Jeremy, a famed porn performer and actor with more than 1,500 roles on his resume, was charged in Los Angeles on Tuesday with sexually assaulting four women, Variety reports.

The Simpsons has had an immeasurable impact on our culture, but, not content to leave it at that, there are people out there eager to apply science to its influence in order to better understand it. Take, for example, a video from Tom Scott that looks to figure out exactly how much our dumb childhood variations of…

On July 1, Netflix will drop six new episodes of Unsolved Mysteries, which was not a news broadcast but rather a torrent of nightmare fuel hosted by the inimitable Robert Stack. Stack, sadly, has been dead since 2003, but the rest of the team behind the bygone series is returning for the 12-episode revival, which…

Mel Gibson has a well-known history of making offensive statements—so much so that when someone like Winona Ryder accuses the Australian actor of making anti-semitic and homophobic remarks, your natural response might be, “Which time?” In an interview with The Sunday Times to promote her role in David Simon’s…

One of Hollywood’s most interesting, varied, and enjoyably divisive directors, Joel Schumacher, died yesterday at the age of 80, leaving behind an impressive filmography that includes highs like Lost Boys and A Time to Kill and doozies like The Number 23. He’s perhaps best known for his legendarily odd DC superhero…

FX is continuing to grow its Hulu brand with two more titles: Variety reveals that the network has decided to move upcoming series Y: The Last Man and American Horror Stories over to FX On Hulu—meaning the series will debut and air exclusively on Hulu, joining fellow originals Mrs. America and Devs. In addition, Hulu…

It’s no secret that Robert Downey Jr. was long-touted as the next Perry Mason. Together with his wife, Susan Downey, the Avenger was developing the classic series for years—first into a movie, and then later a series. But ultimately the timing didn’t work out for him to star, and along with other producers including…

Since the internet has decided to throw us all neck-deep into the choppy waters of “himbo” discourse, our minds have been preoccupied with times when these kind, dim-witted, beautiful boys have played a role, large or small, in history. One example of this comes from a mostly-forgotten SimCity spin-off called SimCopter

Aside from Hollywood’s seemingly immovable trend of reboots and revivals, not many currently canceled show are offered a second chance at life. Lucifer became one of the more recent examples of a streaming service’s benevolent capabilities when Netflix picked it up in 2018 after Fox dropped it from its schedule. Last…

Part of growing up is learning to see the world differently. It’s an insight that the creative wizards at Pixar seem to have internalized. Most of the studio’s movies, going back to the original Toy Story, are all about presenting the world differently, either by adopting an unfamiliar point of view—of toys or bugs or …

Something that’s become ever more evident with the viral success of the morning-after YouTube “cut for time” sketches is how Saturday Night Live is quickest to shave off its best stuff. (Presumably in favor of allowing Alec Baldwin to portray Donald Trump’s real-life evil buffoonery as mere buffoonery.) SNL’s long…

For some, events like concerts, drag shows, and comedy open mics being moved online amid the coronavirus pandemic is a temporary compromise. For those who have trouble attending events in person, the move has been a windfall, with more live entertainment than ever before now at their disposal. There are a number of…

Since The Eric Andre Show went on hiatus after its fourth season in 2016, creator, host, and co-writer Eric Andre’s appetite for organized confusion and chaos has been curbed. Voice-over roles as Azizi in the live-action remake of The Lion King, and Luci and Pendergast in the animated Netflix sitcom Disenchantment …

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, June 23. All times are Eastern.

“Don’t Forget the Sea” takes place 3 months before the events that have defined I May Destroy You so far. Bella’s assault is the show’s catalyst, but the series isn’t rushing to uncover the mystery or consequences of Bella’s trauma. This might be frustrating to viewers who are invested in justice for Bella or…

As reported by Vulture, NBCUniversal is pulling—or has already pulled—four episodes of 30 Rock that feature characters in blackface from Hulu and Amazon. This is coming at the specific request of series creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, with Fey writing in a statement to the various platforms that host 30 Rock …

Even though we like to get a little liberal with the language around here, we at The A.V. Club actually don’t place much of a premium on profanity for profanity’s sake. In fact, we’re well-documented fans of purposeful, creatively deployed adult expressions, especially within properties that rarely indulge in…

The new SpongeBob movie, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge On The Run, is losing its theatrical release (as so many things have) because of the coronavirus pandemic, but its alternate path is going to be a little more unusual. According to Variety, the movie will be heading to “premium digital rental services” (as in, the…

Big news for YouTube’s Karate Kid sequel series Cobra Kai: It’s getting called up to the major leagues—or whatever the equivalent metaphor is for martial arts competitions. Regionals? The Olympics? Some kind of Mortal Kombat-style fight to the death on an evil sorcerer’s weird island? Either way, The Hollywood…

If you watched The Daily Show during its 2000s heyday, you might now wonder how Jon Stewart, its one-time host, would have risen to the challenge of covering our particular political moment. In his tenure headlining Comedy Central’s late-night hit, Stewart made a nightly feast of Washington’s foibles and…
