According to The Advocate, an 11-year-old piloting a school bus led local cops on a joyride chase through the streets of Baton Rouge over the weekend. Not only that, but the kid—who, per the article, “was so small that he apparently had to stand up to reach the pedals”—managed to evade police for over half an hour,…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: A new Liam Neeson potboiler is headed for theaters, so we’re singling out the best movies of the star’s aging ass-kicker renaissance (excepting The Grey, which we’ve …

The 2020 Tony Awards have been one of the big question marks of the coronavirus pandemic, at least in terms of the entertainment industry and its—let’s be honest—largely inoffensive and generally inspiring need to hand out awards (everybody likes awards, they’re nice). The show was delayed earlier this year while…

Wayne Coyne came to this pandemic prepared. For years now, the Flaming Lips frontman has been performing shows (and fending off airborne viruses) from inside an inflatable bubble. In June, during a performance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, the singer’s antics took on a new resonance when the audience got…

Since its atomic-fueled birth back in 1954, Godzilla has stomped onto the big screen as a symbol of humanity’s seemingly eternal desire to destroy literally everything (there are also times when Godzilla has stomped onto the big screen to dropkick a giant cockroach alien, but we digress). In any case, after 60+ years…

Tonight, in place of what was supposed to be the second presidential debate, ABC is airing a special town hall discussion with Joe Biden that will surely be a reasonable evening full of thoughtful, well-considered comments and a bit of folksy, exhaustively prepared Pennsylvania wisdom. After ABC announced its Joe…

Alan Ball’s Uncle Frank might have the feel of a mid-2000s dramedy—repressed Southern teen road-trips with her secretly gay uncle in the early ‘70s—but the Six Feet Under creator has amassed an incredible ensemble for the Amazon film. Paul Bettany and It’s Sophia Lillis lead a cast that also includes Steve Zahn, Judy…

A.J. Soprano, despite being New Jersey mafia royalty, was also just a teenager from the early ‘00s and, as a teenager from the early ‘00s, he loved nü-metal. A.J.’s wardrobe of band shirts was as extensive as his existential angst was hilarious (please refer to the @ajsopranoshirts Twitter account), but none of his…

You know what we did last summer: We reported that James Wan was producing a TV reboot of I Know What You Did Last Summer, the hit ‘90s horror movie based on a book by Lois Duncan—who famously hated the movie they made from her work. Now, this summer (we know it’s October, shut up), The Hollywood Reporter says that…

Ice Cube is under fire this week after Trump adviser Katrina Pierson tagged him on Twitter, thanking the “Fuck The Police” rapper for his “willingness to step up and work with [the Donald Trump] Administration to help develop the #PlatinumPlan.” What is the Platinum Plan? fans asked. And how could one of hip-hop’s…

This article discusses events from season three of Kipo And The Age Of Wonderbeasts

Some entertainment concepts are too strong to ever be made, their potential producers knowing that audiences aren’t ready to handle what they have in mind. Consider Poochinski, a TV show about Peter Boyle as an animatronic bulldog possessed by a dead detective’s spirit that was cancelled after a pilot episode showed…

Star Trek: Discovery has no chill. It’s probably my biggest problem with the show—the way it’s constantly hitting the same three or four emotional beats with little regard to narrative logic, structure, or pacing. I don’t mind a show with big feelings, and there are times when Discovery’s broader strokes have worked…

Loss is on Bruce Springsteen’s mind. How could it not be—it’s on all of our minds these days, inescapably present and unfailingly haunting. It greets us each day as we stare down the mounting human cost of this global tragedy, and as we go to bed each night, taking what succor we can from the things and people that…

We have very little control over our memories. Remembering an event, a person, a place doesn’t always feel like a revisitation. It can feel like an uninvited guest. The Haunting Of Bly Manor hinges on the chaos and disturbance of uninvited memory in “The Two Faces, Part Two,” a sequel to the series’ third episode. But…

It’s hard to imagine an actor better suited to their name than Elizabeth Marvel. She’s been astonishing audiences since the early ’90s, establishing herself as a commanding presence in New York’s theater scene before making her way to television and film roles like House Of Cards and True Grit, often giving them a…

John Cusack wasn’t having it when Jimmy Kimmel tried comparing him to Michael Jordan on Wednesday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. “No—no, no, no, no, no, no, no,” is how a hand-waving Cusack put it, to be precise, with the famously Chicago-born actor demurring sincerely at any thought of him and the former Bulls legend sharing…

Dulé Hill is not about to pretend he’s still the young man he was when he showed up for his first day on The West Wing to play presidential aide Charlie Young. The Dulé Hill who showed up at the Orpheum Theater in downtown Los Angeles this summer to film A West Wing Special To Benefit When We All Vote is well aware he…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, October 15. All times are Eastern.

While award shows in 2020 remain as weird a prospect as, well, everything else in this grab-bag crapsack of a year, Billboard did manage to get its annual Billboard Music Awards up and running tonight, a scant 6 months after it was originally scheduled back in April. (Which means they were acknowledging music released…

Note: The writer of this review watched Rebecca from home on a digital screener. Before making the decision to see it—or any other film—in a movie theater, please consider the health risks involved. Here’s an interview on the matter with scientific experts.

I’m irritated with myself.

There are few animation companies with a better track record at fantastical world-building as Pixar. From the underwater world, to the nightmarish post-apocalyptic future of Cars, to more metaphysical realms, like the mental world of Inside Out or the afterlife of Coco, the Disney subsidiary has always had a knack for…

If there’s one thing the internet loves more than superheroes, it’s bodega cats, i.e., the real heroes making the world out there better, doing the work of sitting in old food boxes and looking at you with adorable boredness when you’re buying a soda or a pack of smokes. But what if we told you, dear reader, that the…

The Last Man Standing won’t be soon, as Fox announced today that it’s granted one final season to Tim Allen’s exploration of manhood, standing, and the basic unkillability of a certain class of “Things were better before these got-damned smartphones” conservative smallness. The show will wrap up with its 9th season,…
