It takes more than one season of television to clean all of the Nazi corruption out of ‘70s New York, evidently, as Deadline is reporting that Amazon has ordered another season of Hunters, the Al Pacino and Logan Lerman-starring drama about a secret group of Nazi hunters. The series was created by David Weil and…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: As August kicks off and the warmest season begins drawing to a close, we’re looking back at some of our favorite summer-themed movies.

Bradley Cooper may be in the midst of one of the most compelling phases of his career. Now that he’s gotten A Star Is Born out of his system (and ours), Cooper is working on some interesting collaborations: A role in Guillermo del Toro’s Nightmare Alley, directing and starring in a Leonard Bernstein biopic produced by…

Today, as the United States’ COVID-19 death toll surpasses 150,000 and the unemployment rate remains terrifyingly high, President Trump is publicly attacking his top health officials and promoting an unproven drug (yes, still). Elsewhere in the world, curves are flattening, spikes are being addressed, and humans are…

After an early test screening of The Little Mermaid, Walt Disney Studios chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg had one big note. The kids in the audience were bored by Ariel’s ballad about wanting to be human. “Part Of Your World” should be cut. Lyricist Howard Ashman put his foot down. He told Katzenberg they’d lose the song…

It’s 2020. Of course the cute talking toys you love from those animated movies can die. Stop asking if things can be worse because they can and will be worse. All the bad things can happen and are happening right now, including the revelation that Buzz and Woody and the rest of the Toy Story gang possess the same…

More so than any other live action superhero series I’ve ever seen, the opening of “Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. Part One” makes the case for why superhero secret identities are so important. The way Sportsmaster and Tigress suddenly and violently invade the once safe spaces of the Whitmore-Dugan family is genuinely…

With Broadway dark until at least 2021 due to the pandemic, New Yorkers are experiencing the first summer in almost 60 years without The Public Theater’s Free Shakespeare In The Park. Luckily, what might seem like a stumbling block was transformed into a serialized radio play so euphonious, it’s hard to believe the…

Stephen King writes horror, sure, but anyone who’s ventured past The Shining knows the author’s got more tricks in his bag. Several of his latest books, for example, cast a spectral shadow across the tropes of hard-boiled crime—one of them, The Outsider, finished its first season as an HBO series earlier this year. And…

Note: This interview contains spoilers for The Umbrella Academy’s second season. So, especially if you’re watching along with our daily TV Club reviews, read with caution.

Now that Moesha is streaming on Netflix, ’80s babies can finally relive their favorite moments with Moesha, Hakeem, Niecy, and the Mitchells.

TikTok is under attack and we must protect our precious youths at all costs. (All the older people making TikToks about their Amazon finds and those Goop-y spice jar labels can go to hell, though.) Those wondering why TikTok is worth preserving need look no further than this curly-haired young man who goes by the name…

For much of his unlikely and surprisingly consistent career as a leading man, Seth Rogen has stuck with great success to the signature elements that made him pop out from the Freaks And Geeks cast: the deep voice, the guttural laugh, the self-effacing demeanor that occupies the exact intersection of stoner and nerd.…

Many novels begin with death, the threat of it, or its consequences. Perhaps the best and most famous example is Gabriel García Márquez’s masterful novella, Chronicle Of A Death Foretold. “On the day they were going to kill him,” the opening goes, “Santiago Nasar got up at five-thirty in the morning to wait for the…

Imagine, for just one brief, horrible moment, a version of Hannibal starring John Cusack as Hannibal Lecter—if you can manage to stop laughing long enough to do that, which is logistically impossible. First of all, Hannibal would not vape. He would murder vape enthusiasts. But as detailed by series creator Bryan…

With apologies to Hogan and Cena, it’s safe to say that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will go down as Vince McMahon’s greatest creation, having pivoted his WWE stardom into an A-list career as an actor, TV host, and producer. Now, it appears Johnson is returning the favor to his former boss by offering new life to what…

To anyone with even a passing familiarity with the workings of Congress, there’s plenty of material in HBO’s new outrage-provoking documentary The Swamp that will feel awfully obvious. Yes, the process of fundraising has essentially created a system of legalized bribery; yes, special-interest groups and lobbyists…

Three times over the course of Raven Leilani’s debut novel, Luster, the 23-year-old narrator is on the receiving end of a comment where someone tells her just what is wrong with her generation. First, it comes from her older lover, then an ex-boyfriend, then her lover’s wife. “‘Why does it have to be my generation?…

It’s often easy to forget that Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats was adapted from a collection of poems by T.S. Eliot, but Webber himself is happy to remind you. After critics and fans spewed hairballs all over Tom Hooper’s feral film adaptation last year, Webber took aim at James Corden’s bawdy take on Bustopher Jones,…

In his list of “Undeniable Truths,” published in 1988 by the Sacramento Union, Rush Limbaugh declared that “Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.”

“That’s the thing about the Commission, isn’t it? Some things just don’t make sense, until they do.”

“And I’m gonna warn you—you’re about to hear the ‘N-word,’ a lot.” That’s John Oliver during his main Sunday story on Last Week Tonight, and while he was providing a content warning to the caught-on-tape, supervillain-style political “Southern Strategy” of infamous Republican strategist Lee Atwater, such a preamble…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Monday, August 3. All times are Eastern.

It’s ostensibly summer, but there are no road trips or family vacations on the horizon (and if you are bundling your family members into your car, Clark Griswold-style, godspeed/please reconsider.) Instead, as the temperatures continue to rise, we’ll once again be parked in front of our screens, living vicariously…

“The world works on a system of patronage, and like it or not, Vanderbilt sits at the top of the heap.”
