Ray Fisher was brand new to Hollywood when he made his big-screen debut as Cyborg in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, and, had everything gone according to plan, he’d have headlined a Cyborg standalone this year. Unfortunately, Warner Bros. DC franchise has been retooled time and again after films like …

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: It’s all disaster movies, in honor of Independence Day (the holiday and the movie) and also in light of the real-life disaster movie happening outside our windows.

HBO has finally announced a premiere date for Lovecraft Country, its series adaptation of Matt Ruff’s excellent 2016 horror novel. Ruff’s story, adapted by Underground’s Misha Green and Get Out and Us director Jordan Peele, will premiere on August 16.

Ray Fisher, the actor who portrayed the superhero Cyborg in Justice League, has taken to Twitter to call out filmmaker Joss Whedon for the second time this week. On Monday, Fisher tweeted a video clip from a Justice League panel at Comic-Con, during which the actor praised Whedon as a “great guy” and said that Zack…

Film studios, directors, and Channing Tatum have promised us a movie about everyone’s favorite Cajun X-Man, Gambit, for freakin’ years now. Last we checked, the latest attempt at bringing Remy LeBeau to the big screen had gotten itself thrust back into development hell, even after Tatum vowed to just say “Screw it”…

It’s hard to imagine a world where Banned Book Club could be more relevant than it is right now. If it’s not clear from the title, the graphic novel revolves around a group of young people who meet to read and discuss books banned by their government. It’s set in South Korea in the early 1980s, a time that most…

Pandemic-related lockdowns have given some of us a chance to catch up on shows that got lost in the premiere shuffle earlier this year, including Michelle King and Robert King’s Evil. The increasingly supernatural-skewing procedural follows priest-in-training David Acosta (Mike Colter) and forensic psychologist…

Once upon a time, Beavis And Butt-Head convinced our nation’s pearl-clutching boomers that the next generation was lost, beholden as it was to the vacant chuckles and inane observations of “Buffcoat and Beaver.” Now, those corrupted youths having come of age in a broken country, MTV’s iconic duo will return to laugh…

If a satirical lyricist—a Weird Al type, perhaps—were to tackle this news story, it might go a little something like this: “Barwitdadumbname owned by some dummies, suing the city over COVID like a bunch of dummies.... MY NAME IS KIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!” Just some silly fun for your Wednesday.

Months of self-isolation is forcing many of us to find new, unusual hobbies we might never have considered were we not trapped in this seemingly never-ending pandemic purgatory. Some of you probably have gotten, like, super into making sourdough bread. Others may be simply catching up on all those books and TV binges…

In the early days of quarantine, there was the flip assertion that Pride Month was “cancelled this year.” And while it’s certainly true that Pride parades, concerts, and other traditional events were scrapped in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the notion of “pride” itself has undergone something of a reckoning in…

When Carl Reiner died this week at the age of 98, he left behind a comedic legacy as one of the all-time greats. But that greatness extended well beyond his work. Reiner was truly one of the nicest guys in show business, going above and beyond not just to make people laugh but to make them feel valued. Of the many…

Nearly three months since his death (and a week since he scored his first number one song on a Billboard chart), folk singer John Prine has been named the first honorary poet laureate of the state of Illinois. Governor J.B. Pritzker announced the news on Tuesday, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Perhaps the most egregious of all the misleading tax prep websites is TurboTax, which has a documented history of advertising “free” filing products that then hamstring unsuspecting customers into ponying up extra cash for bells and whistles they don’t actual need to submit their tax returns.

When rebooting a long-running TV show, there are certain rituals that have to be observed. Attempting to precisely re-create the original formula is tricky, and usually comes off as weak besides. But change too much, and suddenly you’re being accused of opportunistically slapping a beloved name onto a wholly unrelated…

“8” is far from the worst episode of this new Twilight Zone season. (So far, that’s still “Ovation.”) But for me, it may end up being the most disappointing. I’m a fan of the films of this episode’s co-directors, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorehead, whose films Spring and The Endless glory in the visual possibilities…

This is a summer season unlike any other in memory, where going outside is only an option when you’re either properly masked up or there’s nobody nearby. Gone are the festivals and bustling bars with jukeboxes blaring; in their place is a whole lot of down time. Luckily, you can still hear your favorite artists; along…

I have a question. I’m a gay man in a relationship and we’re both really happy since we met a year ago. We’re “open” in the sense that he wants the option to be intimate with someone else if a connection happens and in turn he said he would be supportive of me being involved in my kinks. But I haven’t done anything…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Wednesday, July 1. All times are Eastern.

Some fictional characters are just timeless, with new creators coming along to create new interpretations of them for new generations of fans. Characters like Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. According to Deadline, Nickelodeon and Paramount are developing yet another new Teenage Mutant…

Some streaming services try to act all cool and tough by adding dozens or hundreds of new TV shows and movies to their increasingly cluttered content libraries every month, but anything more than a quick bite just wouldn’t be appropriate for ol’ Quibi. Plus, given the platform’s entire premise—that people want to…

Over the last few years, the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences has actively tried to diversify its ranks, at least partially in hopes of avoiding another #OscarsSoWhite controversy, which means every new batch of members lately has involved some unexpectedly cool and well-deserving picks. In theory, that…

Listen, you know what’s coming to Disney+ in July—or at least you know of one specific thing. A thing that left an unimaginably large impact on the world of pop culture. A thing about a man whose name you may know but whose origin story you may not know, who pulled himself up from humble beginnings to become a hero…
