After all of those months of misery, it still feels a little strange to see things returning to normal—especially when the reason they’re returning to normal is mostly due to the fact that the people involved simply decided they should and not because anything in the world (or at least this stupid country) is actually…

If you’ve been following the whirlwind journey that is Kipo And The Age Of Wonderbeasts (and we do mean whirlwind: All three seasons were released in 2020, if you can believe it), then you know that season three is poised to be a rather climactic finale. The tale of Kipo “Burrow Girl” Oak (Karen Fukuhara) and her…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: The fourth season of FX’s small-screen Fargo starts, so we’re singling out “Coenesque” movies, i.e. ones influenced by or imitative of the work of those famous sibling…

Alvin & the Chipmunks have been a thorn in pop culture’s side since their 1958 debut: Although the trio has come and gone over the decades, their shrill covers of pop songs remain indelibly carved into our collective memory. Over the years, a number of artists, in an effort to exorcise the voices from their heads,…

Riz Ahmed stars in Sound Of Metal, a festival favorite that’s soon heading to Amazon Prime, as Ruben, a punk drummer whose identity is undone by the revelation that his hearing is rapidly deteriorating. When he seeks treatment in a sober house for the deaf, Ruben must learn to embrace stillness and solitude after…

The ever-popular “typical millennial” narrative that has permeated media over the past decade is a pretty deceptive one. Leaning liberally on this notion of an emotionally fragile, fiscally irresponsible younger generation, many of the widespread presumptions tend to conveniently ignore the fact that the current ages…

Evan Rachel Wood steals nearly every scene in Miranda July’s new film, Kajillionaire. As Old Dolio, she’s a 26-year-old with the emotional intelligence of a 12-year-old and an oversized wardrobe to match. She’s awkward and possessive, but still yearns for a life of her own—something that hasn’t really been possible…

One of the weirdest parts of fame in 2020, we imagine, is that fans are no longer content to simply tell you they love your work. Rather, to properly convey one’s fandom, one must either tell celebrities they are your parents or that you want them to murder you. Succession’s Nicholas Braun, fresh off an Emmy nomination

Sir David Attenborough has joined Instagram. Sir David Attenborough, it should be noted, also doesn’t seem too thrilled that he had to join Instagram. In his debut post, the revered documentary narrator and natural historian makes it very clear that he’s only joined the social media platform because, after decades…

In Malaysian graphic novelist Reimena Yee’s new book, Séance Tea Party, the fear of growing up is explored in heart-aching detail on the comic page. Lora Xi desperately doesn’t want to become a teenager, to the point that instead of spending time with her peers, her best friend is Alexa, a ghost perpetually stuck in…

Sufjan Stevens wants to love America. His early odes to Illinois and Michigan are as meticulously researched as they are intimately felt, the songwriter marveling at the geography, strife, and historical oddities of his childhood haunts. But you’ll find no such reverence on The Ascension, a bloated and often beautiful…

This month marks the 35th anniversary of the release of arguably the most iconic video game ever, Super Mario Bros., and Nintendo has been pulling out all the stops to celebrate. That, of course, hasn’t stopped fans from finding, um, other ways to show their love and appreciation for everyone’s favorite…

A two-pronged beam of sunlight has broken through the dark clouds of 2020. Knowing somehow that their presence was needed in a time of so much dread, anger, and sadness, a pair of social media bros put their confused, Chad Kroeger-ish heads together and summoned the perfect meme for this moment.

Time is kinda funny these days. It feels like it was only yesterday that we were cowering at Taco’s soul-penetrating eyes, steaming at Fox’s attempt to humanize Sarah Palin, and crowning performing veteran Kandi Burress the queen of season 3. That could have a lot to do with the fact that last season of The Masked…

Right from its opening scene, the international spy series Tehran tries to encapsulate the strained relations between Israel and Iran. It doesn’t delve much into the history of this conflict, but manages to set the stage for an engrossing espionage drama. The Israeli drama, acquired by Apple TV+ to stream in the U.S., …

Genius and madness are more or less interchangeable through the lens of pop culture; if you’re really good at something, we often posit, it comes at the price of your sanity and well-being. Such is the case in The Queen’s Gambit, a limited series from Netflix about a chess prodigy (Anya Taylor-Joy) who spirals into…

In an earlier episode this season, Mother expressed sadness that she would never be able to have her own child. In “Mass,” she discovers a tumor growing in her abdomen that appears to be some sort of human-android hybrid fetus, born of her sexual experience with her creator. When she finds out what is actually inside…

Having taped their shows prior to the current occupant of the White House openly spill his super-villainous plan to “get rid of the ballots,” not commit to a peaceful transfer of power should he lose the November election, and essentially declare everything America supposedly stands for null and void at the whims of a…

We’ve all been told not to congregate in large groups indoors, so fans tuning into the Masked Singer premiere on Wednesday may have been a little surprised to see crowds cheering on the new crop of performers and chanting for the losing contestant to take off their mask like a red-hat-wearing protesters parading…

Saturday Night Live made headlines recently when the show announced a variety of plans for its upcoming 46th season. Usually a pre-season SNL news dump includes confirmations of cast changes; this year’s edition was unusually positive, in that all 17 members of the show’s repertory company will be returning, with…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, September 24. All times are Eastern.

WarnerMedia’s Justice League is preparing to undergo reshoots…again…some time in the near future, as THR reports that Zack Snyder apparently needs some new footage to fully bring the (*insert mental screaming here*) four-hour “Snyder Cut” of the 2017 film to life. Said filming will apparently take place in October,…

Before we get into the narrative meat of tonight’s episode of Archer—Archer and Malory’s respective abandonment issues, the death of Krieger’s beloved van, whatever the hell reclusive super-scientist Hands’ Dave And Buster’s-esque seduction of Sterling was all about—we should establish something: This is the hardest…

An outrage in Hollywood tonight, as Disney+ announced more cast members for its upcoming TV reboot of classic dog-cop movie Turner & Hooch, yet refused to give the people what they actually want, i.e., a bunch of pictures of whatever good boy or girl will end up playing giant slobber monster Hooch in the television…

Sad news for fans of aging thespians arguing about Cheetos today, as Deadline reports that star Alan Arkin has dropped out of the third and final season of Netflix’s The Kominsky Method. Somewhat surprisingly, Arkin’s departure from the series—which he co-leads with Michael Douglas—apparently had nothing to do with…
