In the 10 years they’ve been part of the HGTV-viewing public’s collective consciousness, Drew and Jonathan Scott—the Property Brothers, as they are perhaps best known—have had almost a meteoric rise to ubiquity. They seem to always have a new show airing on the network, have put their name on multiple lines of…

If the Oscar-winning Parasite turned you into a bonafide Boon Joon Ho-head (and how couldn’t it?), we have some good news for you. Neon is teaming with Fathom Events to re-release the director’s breakthrough, 2003's Memories Of Murder, for a two-night event in October.

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: The new directorial debuts The Broken Hearts Gallery and Antebellum have us thinking back on some of our favorite first features.

Rick Moranis essentially retired from show business in 1997, resurfacing only occasionally for a voiceover gig, Goldbergs cameo, interview, or country album (he was nominated for a Grammy in 2006). There’s been teases of an upcoming Moranissance, both in an SCTV special and a role in Disney+’s upcoming Honey, I Shrunk…

Porno, a movie whose provocative title is justified by its sleazy (and funny) brand of throwback horror, is bound to ooze its way into your orbit this Halloween. But Keola Racela’s film resonates beyond its gory tale of a sex demon and the small-town movie theater it’s unleashed upon. Carla Patullo’s atmospheric score,…

There’s a calm that descends when one truly communes with the world around them, a sense of knowing, of connectedness, of beauty and sorrow. Where you are is a beautiful place if only because you are there, filling your lungs, a collection of cells dividing, in a universe full of wonder. You are a magnificent, complex…

L.A.’s Finest has gone through some shit in its short life. The Bruckheimer-produced Bad Boys II spin-off series was originally piloted for NBC in 2017 before being summarily shuttled over to Spectrum, becoming the cable provider’s first exclusive when it premiered in 2019. Its second season was set to premiere this…

Death is not the end, friends. For although The Walking Dead will conclude its run with season 11, its spinoffs will live on forever. AMC has announced that The Walking Dead is set to end with an “expanded two-year 11th season that will span 24 episodes.” While that might actually sound like two seasons, AMC would…

While speaking with her pal Josh Gad during an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Daisy Ridley confirmed a previous rumor about the original plans for Rey’s lineage in the Star Wars franchise: apparently she was almost the granddaughter of Obi-Wan Kenobi, which, yes, probably would’ve been better than Rey Palpatine—but…

If Shasta McNasty is memorable for anything other than having the worst title in the history of television, it’s that it headlined an era of sitcoms so bad that it forced the Baltimore Sun to ponder the format’s mortality, to despair at the thought of something called Shasta McNasty being “an end in itself.” This…

There’s nothing wrong with being known as one of the New Girl gang. After all, that spacious if comically rundown loft was packed with comedy ringers, all taking turns stealing scenes and having enduringly endearing mess-arounds for seven solid season of sitcom goodness. And there was nobody more at home in New Girl’s…

I’m a 29-year-old straight woman in Pennsylvania. My question has to do with choking and consent.
