Today the world knows a lot more about the intensity of Jonathan Groff’s enunciation than it did yesterday. Over the course of two performances in 2016, nine cameras captured Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s juggernaut musical retelling of the life of America’s first secretary of the treasury, in intimate detail. Groff,…

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.

There’s a lot of music out there. To help you cut through all the noise, every week The A.V. Club is rounding up A-Sides, with some recent releases we think are worth your time. You can listen to these and more on our Spotify playlist, and if you like what you hear, we encourage you to purchase featured artists’ music…

It’s been almost 30 years since Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead hit theaters, but the movie is still almost as popular as ever. It’s not only getting a reboot; fans still covet the clothes from the General Apparel West runway show and tell antsy bosses they’re “right on top of that, Rose!” Who can even really…

Streaming libraries expand and contract. Algorithms are imperfect. Those damn thumbnail images are always changing. But you know what you can always rely on? The expert opinions and knowledgeable commentary of The A.V. Club. That’s why we’re scouring both the menus of the most popular services and our own archives to…

In these uncertain times (as the TV ads say), it’s not unusual for popular entertainments to acquire a relevance that might not have been entirely intended when they were conceived. Such is the case—sort of—with “A Small Town.” I’m sure some of what this Twilight Zone episode is about was always part of the plan for…

In the opening 15 minutes of Ju-On: Origins, we see a man in a car with a young girl in the passenger seat, both of them listening to a taped interview show about supposedly supernatural occurrences. The girl gets scared and ejects the tape. Suddenly the camera pulls to a long shot as the man starts violently beating…

By 2000, Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey both wanted a change. She’d burst onto the scene with Selena, found critical acclaim in Out Of Sight, and settled into action/sci-fi fare like Anaconda and The Cell. He’d transitioned his memorable debut in Dazed & Confused into dramas like A Time To Kill and U-571, and…

Back in 2014, long before he was redeemed in cinephiles’ eyes by the anxiety-inducing frenzy of Uncut Gems, Adam Sandler admitted that he absolutely takes roles based on whether or not there’s a free vacation involved. It might not be a great system for the critics who then have to watch and review the results of said…

Every Friday, A.V. Club staffers kick off our weekly open thread for the discussion of gaming plans and recent gaming glories, but of course, the real action is down in the comments, where we invite you to answer our eternal question: What Are You Playing This Weekend?

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Friday, July 3, and Saturday, July 4. All times are Eastern.

Although he’s worked steadily since the years the show went off the air—including supporting roles in The Happytime Murders and the Captain Underpants movie—Leslie David Baker is still probably best known to most TV fans as implacable crossword-doer Stanley Hudson from The Office. Appearing on all nine seasons of the…

Was Katy Keene too sweet for this sinful Earth? That’s the question we’re asking ourselves tonight, as The CW announces that the Riverdale spin-off—which offered up twice the can-do, you-can-make-it spirit, and way less of the elaborate murders, of the Archie-verse’s signature show—is being canceled.

The COVID-19 lockdowns have taught us so much about the lives of our various late-night talk show hosts. That they have homes, for instance, and don’t just return every night to the vat from which various white dudes named “Jimmy” are so regularly decanted. Also, they appear to fill their days having Zoom calls with…

Tomorrow is July 3, a day that many people—not just patriots with a poor sense of calendar use—have been waiting for for some time. That’s because said auspicious occasion marks the Disney+ debut of the official filmed theatrical version of Hamilton, a musical that, for so many unable to see it live, has had to live…

In what we can only assume is the first step in some sort of nefarious scheme to lure every obnoxiously loud male commenter on the internet into a single location—and then the trap is sprung!—Brie Larson launched a new YouTube channel today. The channel currently features only one video, showing Larson explaining her…

World, meet Netta. The 2018 Eurovision Song Contest winner has been a big deal in Israel and Europe since her victory on the show and the release of her first big single, “Toy,” but with the success of the new Netflix film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga—in which she makes a “song along” cameo,…

One of the clearest signs that a famous person has fucked up extremely bad is that when the really passionate fans—the ones who have dedicated significant portion of their lives to promoting and discussing the famous person’s work—decide to cut off any and all ties to them. It happened to Joss Whedon in 2017 when the …
