Being outside generally sucks, whether you’re in the fabulous city of Chicago (a.k.a. Chi-Town, in honor of its famous chai lattes) or some other crummy place without a big chrome bean. We should all be grateful, then, that one of the few good excuses to go outside during the summer has been moved indoors for 2020,…

Jessica Swale’s debut feature Summerland, set in a village in the English county of Kent during World War II, is one of those sapfests that flatters our modern attitudes by introducing them to our primitive ancestors. The past is reeducated and happy endings are possible. Never mind that our own reality isn’t a very…

Perhaps best known stateside for his work on Handmaid’s Tale, British actor O-T Fagbenle was gearing up for a pretty major summer, thanks in part to his role in the upcoming Black Widow. While his MCU debut waits in the wings to hit theaters post-pandemic, audiences can see a whole other side of the actor in the…

People love to be scared. It’s why we go on terrifying roller coasters and see horror films in dark movie theaters. But what if something is so scary it makes you get queasy or pass out? If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and I’ve got some films that’ll give you the chills without making you hit the floor.

When you line up at the checkout and hear the beep, you think of the fun you could be having on Supermarket Sweep, right? You’re not thinking about David Ruprecht’s feet, are you? Because apparently some people are thinking about David Ruprecht’s feet.

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: Morbius has been pushed back to 2021, but you don’t have to wait that long to check out these other vampire chronicles and bloodsucker tales.

Lock your doors and batten down the hatches, people. The online knitting mob is real, and it could be coming for you. At least, that’s what this video from the Trumpers at PragerU are claiming. Strap in, everyone.

Here’s a string of words we hoped never to write: The Chainsmokers and Goldman Sachs’ DJing CEO may have just helped worsen the coronavirus pandemic by playing a show in the Hamptons sponsored by FuckJerry’s tequila company.

Sometimes it only takes a misunderstanding to change your life. Scullion: A Dishwasher’s Guide To Mistaken Identity is a new graphic novel for young readers written, drawn, and lettered by Jarad Greene. Set in a quasi-medieval world, the story takes place during a busy kingdom’s preparations for a royal wedding…

How August came upon us so quickly when time no longer has any meaning is beyond human comprehension, but what we do know is this: We need a steady supply of new streaming content, and Netflix is a benevolent streaming deity that graciously provides. August’s arrivals have, uh, arrived, with new seasons of The Rain, …

Despite evidence to the contrary, many American politicians and business owners are still convinced it’s a good time to continue “reopening” the country, citing things like “red-blooded patriotism” and “hey, some of us are just gonna get sacrificed at the altar of Dow Jones and we have to accept that.” Of course,…

After narrowly avoiding the apocalypse at the end of The Umbrella Academy’s first season, the Hargreeves siblings are thrust back in time to 1960s Dallas, Texas at that start of season two. The catch: They don’t all wind up in the same year. Left on their own with no way of knowing where—or when—their family might be,…

Alongside his well-documented love of baby belugas and fruit phones, children’s musician and all-around good guy Raffi is a big supporter of anti-fascist and anti-racist movements. His Twitter feed is filled with clearly stated declarations of his politics, condemnations of the federal response to the Black Lives…

Between a collection of solid EPs, gargantuan first-day streaming numbers for any one of the group’s music videos, huge international endorsements (like this one with Adidas), headlining major music festivals, and a recent, high-profile collaboration with Lady Gaga, there really isn’t much that K-pop girl juggernaut…

Netflix announced its animated spin-off of the Jurassic World franchise last year, teasing a kid-friendly series we assume will contain at least one (1) gymnastics-related raptor death. Lost World director Steven Spielberg, after all, serves as one of the show’s executive producers, as does Jurassic World’s Colin…

We here at The A.V. Club have been fans of Wye Oak since the very beginning, whether it was inviting them to perform intimate versions of tracks almost a decade ago, or admiring the group reworking a song in a room full of Moogs in 2018. And now, as the duo of Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack gears up to release their…

Look, there is no question that 54-year-old former heavyweight boxing champion, professional cameo-maker, and presumable Hannibal fan Mike Tyson could beat up the average, middle-aged man. Hell, he could probably still beat up a disproportionate percentage of the general public, especially since, in footage shown on…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, July 28. All times are Eastern. 

Former Simpsons composer Alf Clausen’s lawsuit against Gracie Films, 20th Century Fox, and the show’s new owners at Disney continues to be unsurprisingly bitter, with Clausen’s attorneys now releasing a statement (via Deadline) that accuses the defendants of using “lies and deceit” to cover up the real reason for why…

I like that “Line Spectrum Border” starts with Arabella in group therapy. It’s the singular moment of calm before the absolute hurricane that is this episode. Arabella is in this tranquil, safe environment where she can very clearly identify an issue, put that issue into words and explain it to others around her. She…

This past weekend was Comic-Con, often the biggest event of the year for pop culture news (specifically of a superhero/sci-fi/fantasy flavor), but this year was a little different. Due to the coronavirus, the actual Comic-Con event in San Diego—where people dress up in costumes, ignore the existence of comic books and…

One of Disney’s favorite composers reached a new level of human achievement this week, with Billboard reporting that Alan Menken won a Daytime Emmy recently for composing “Waiting In The Wings” for Disney’s Tangled: The Series with songwriter Glenn Slater. That Emmy win, Daytime or otherwise, makes Menken the 16th…

While long-running daytime talk series The Ellen DeGeneres Show has maintained a public reputation of kindness and wholesome fun, many former employees and at least one guest have come forward over the past year with claims of damaging behavior at the hands of both the show’s superstar host and her managing staff. Per…

Adam McKay already made movies about the financial collapse, Dick Cheney, and a pair of truly twisted step brothers (not to mention a TV show about an evil rich family, an adaptation of a popular movie about the crushing weight of capitalism, and a climate change show), so it only makes sense that his next project…

It is, of course, a stereotype that all Canadians are nice. They are not, in fact, a nation comprised entirely of kindly Mounties; Canadians have bad days, too. This writer can confirm that there are at least two total Canadian buttholes out there (there’s the thief, assuming that person is Canadian, and then there’s…
