Disney just dropped the trailer for its upcoming action-adventure—and despite the image above, it’s not set during COVID times. That said, Disney’s first Southeast Asian princess does seem to be speaking to a 2020 audience: “My whole life I trained to become a guardian of the dragon gem. But this world has changed,…

William Kunstler, the character that Mark Rylance plays in The Trial Of The Chicago 7, had a rich and full legal life. He not only defended the Chicago 7—or 8, depending on if you include Bobby Seale—but also members of the communist party, the American Indian Movement, and the Attica prison riots. The A.V. Club …

Perhaps sensing that the minds of the moviegoing public—as much as concepts like “moviegoing” and “public” exist during the COVID-19 pandemic—were otherwise occupied with images far more horrifying than a giant Slor, Sony announced this afternoon that the release of Ghostbusters: Afterlife has been pushed to June 11,…

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a blog about “Snake Eater,” the titular song in the 2004 video game masterpiece, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. In it, I gush about the song and how it is as responsible for the prestige of the game as anything else. Tucked into the final paragraph, I made an entreaty to the song’s…

Looks like everyone’s happy to have Sterling Archer back out of the coma, after all (sorry, Cyril): It’s just been announced that FXX’s animated comedy Archer has been renewed for season 12. That means another entire year of opportunities for the world’s greatest spy (again, sorry, Cyril) to either save the day or…

Is Pa Kent returning for the “Snyder Cut” of Justice League? Who gives a shit, ‘cause Jared Leto’s Joker sure is. Fire up the Twiztid, bitches.

Don’t worry: Technically, this is not one of those in-fashion “Moneybags Studios is moving this premiere because this pandemic is never ending” announcements. We already did that in September. This is the ever-hopeful “here’s a solid date that we can very tentatively look forward to” kind of development, which is a…

This post contains plot details from Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery Of Prodigious Bribe To American Regime For Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan. It also contains information about the conduct of one of the closest advisers to the president of the United States.

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: With Ben Wheatley’s take on Rebecca in theaters and en route to Netflix, we’re singling out other Hitchcockian thrillers—ones that explicitly recall the master of…

It was, somehow, only last week when news broke that Ice Cube was working with the Trump administration on their “Platinum Plan,” which promises to “increase access to capital in black communities by almost $500 billion.” But it would seem that the rapper and actor isn’t all that keen on one of Trump’s large adult…

Heartstopper Volume 2 begins at the tail end of a party night that’s been brought to an abrupt stop by an unexpected kiss between friends Charlie and Nick. What does the kiss mean for their friendship? How will each boy process this new development? Is this love? Adolescence is already filled with all sorts of…

Mel Brooks hasn’t had too much to say about Donald Trump over the past few years. The legendary comedian has characterized the president as a “song-and-dance man,” someone whose greatest contribution to the country is saving late night television. “Between Conan and Jimmy Kimmel and Colbert, he saved these guys!” he…

Mummies aren’t scary. In fact, they’re some of the least scary monsters around, thanks to becoming generic CG action flick villains in movies like The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy (2017). But the decline of the creatures in pop culture began earlier than that, thanks to a TV series titled Mummies Alive, one of the more…

Can ghosts get COVID-19? Only one way to find out. Oh, what timing: an opportunity has arisen! The owners of the American Horror Story murder house are opening their doors over Halloween weekend to various ghost hunters and seance... conductors... for a livestream event that will take place from October 29 to November…

Nicolas Cage is a perpetual story-generating machine. Even outside of the analysis that surrounds every acting choice made throughout his staggering filmography, Cage himself lives a life where every new day seems to bring him into strange situations the rest of us can only hope to encounter once in a lifetime. The…

On March 29, 2019, Janet Jackson was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame by fellow performer Janelle Monáe. The honor felt overdue for a number of reasons, including the fact that her brothers Jackie, Jermaine, Tito, Marlon, Randy, and Michael had long ago been inducted. (Michael was actually a two-time…

There’s one scene in the 1990 Warner Bros. version of Roald Dahl’s The Witches that no impressionable young viewer could ever forget. It’s the moment when the boy hero, spying from his hiding place within a swanky seaside hotel, catches his first glimpse of the movie’s eponymous villains in their true form, as they…

Though decades-later movie sequels have become frequent and sometimes surprisingly great, comedy follow-ups remain tough nuts to re-crack. This is especially true when, say, 14 years have elapsed between a phenomenon and the dying gasps of “my wife!” snuffed out by quote-loving office denizens forced to work at home. …

We could all use the wacky, surrealist antics of our old pals Wakko, Yakko, and Dot—at the very least, they’re operating on the sort of cuckoo-bananas wavelength our enfeebled brains can comprehend at the moment. Hulu’s trailer for the new Animaniacs reboot, which premieres on November 20, is indeed zany, but is it …

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cannot stop gaming. Having previously appeared on a charity fundraising stream to laud the Nintendo 64 and help drive donations to Mermaids, an organization that supports gender diverse and transgender kids, Ocasio-Cortez decided to get into the streaming world for herself.…

With the way Hollywood’s brightest stars rushed to coddle Chris Pratt last night, you’d think the actor had been accused of sexual harassment by a D-lister or something. Instead, all signs pointed to a Twitter poll started by an Alienist writer to determine the best and worst of film’s numerous Chrises. Out of a pool…

As the lush green trees of the Northeast begin to brown and a chill rolls through the now-darkened hours of the early morning, she appears every autumn, like Truth coming out of her well: the white girl who absolutely loves fall.

When I visit Jamaica, Friday nights are the most highly anticipated. At the beginning of the weekend, communities across the island are treated to a slough of vendors who set up their stations to serve jerked meats or seafoods along with an assortment of other foods. When I get the chance to visit my uncle in…

Mank, David Fincher’s first new film in six years, received a stylish teaser a few weeks back, a preview of a film that aims to satirize ‘30s Hollywood in both its story and its dreamy, throwback aesthetic. Today, Netflix dropped a full trailer for the anticipated drama, and it’s every bit as disorienting.
