As beloved as some horror anthologies are, it’s hard to make one without raising the specter of their inherent unevenness.

Sacha Baron Cohen was definitely up to something this summer, and at the beginning of this month we heard the first concrete rumors about what that something was: A Borat sequel, filmed entirely in secret, possibly with some kind of meta angle that acknowledges how hard it would theoretically be for Sacha Baron Cohen…

It’s here. It’s finally here. Hold on to your calorically-rich salmon reserves, because Fat Bear Week 2020 has arrived

Bait and switch may be a reprehensible sales technique, but it often works wonderfully in movies.

We hope you’ve been washing your ass because, for the first time in nearly two decades, a new Jerky Boys album is on the way. The self-titled LP finds long-time J.B. Johnny Brennan resurrecting a number of his old characters, from the frail Sol Rosenberg to the foul-mouthed Frank Rizzo.

One of this year’s most pleasant surprises, Ted Lasso is preparing to wrap up its first season on Apple TV+.

Series creators Jason…

In preparation for The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air’s reunion special, Airbnb is letting people rent the show’s mansion set.

This post discusses plot points of the Lovecraft Country episode, “I Am.”

Sure, Disney’s soulless, computer-generated The Lion King remake was pointless and drab, but it was still The Lion King and that, combined with Beyoncé, is all it really needed to secure $1.65 billion for Disney. Today, as if there was any doubt, Disney has announced the next step into what will surely evolve into The…

It became clear last night why Tiger King star Carole Baskin wasn’t eliminated on last week’s episode of Dancing With The Stars—Disney Night was right around the corner, and Mickey wasn’t about to let ABC eliminate her without The Lion King getting a boost from her ongoing virality, toxic though it may be.

Gloria Steinem is 86 now, and she’s at that point in her life where—to the general public at least—she’s more of an icon than an actual human being. That’s fair, given the life she’s lived and the change she’s enacted, but it can also make for some complicated conversations when you’re thinking about adapting said…

James Gandolfini was many things: A dear friend of SpongeBob SquarePants and a lover of Green Day’s Dookie. Above all else, though, he was an incredibly talented actor who captured every aspect of Tony Soprano with aplomb, from scenes of the mobster shuffling around in a bathrobe, eating slices of gabagool in front of…

Much like the first day of classes in the real world, it seemed like Peacock’s Saved By The Bell reboot had become a moving target.

Most of America’s introduction to Steve-O—whose real name is Stephen Glover—happened 20 years ago this week, when he was introduced as a member of MTV’s Jackass crew.

Monday’s Late Night With Seth Meyers saw the host caught seemingly in media res, wrapping up his signature “A Closer Look” segment before it had even begun. “. . . one of the greatest tax cheats in American history, a criminally negligent sociopath who lost the popular vote and has overseen the preventable deaths of…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, September 29. All times are Eastern.

Though Jay Roach’s Bombshell and HBO’s Coastal Elites broached the subject, Showtime’s The Comey Rule is the first large-scale, dramatic production about the Trump administration—a responsibility that the limited series’ star Jeff Daniels and director/writer Billy Ray didn’t take lightly.
