Luis Troyano, the cheerful graphic designer who impressed fans with his creative bakes on series five of Great British Bake Off, has died. The news was confirmed by his management in a tweet that read, “Sadly, my lovely client lost his brave fight against Oesophageal cancer last week. A fantastic man with a love of…

Many are hoping that this national disgrace will be brought to an end when all the votes are counted, but—just like a ridiculous villain on a Saturday morning cartoon—Donald Trump has made it clear “you can’t get rid of me that easily!” (We imagine that’s always said with a “mwahahaha” after.) For months, Trump has…

The original premise for Moonbase 8, a new comedy from John C. Reilly, Tim Heidecker, Fred Armisen, and Jonathan Krisel, was one rooted in the isolation horror of The Thing—a group of people stuck in a remote area, facing the unknown together. Like the creature in John Carpenter’s classic sci-fi film, that idea…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: With Man Of Steel costars Kevin Costner and Diane Lane appearing together again in Let Him Go, we’re looking back at other onscreen star reunions.

Matt Reeves’ The Batman won’t be released until 2022 thanks to COVID-19 throwing the theater business and movie production in general into disarray. This is good since, really, the entertainment world doesn’t need to be dangling incentives like smokey-eyed superheroes in front of a public that really ought to be…

At this point, who is still yearning for more movies about mysterious superpowers and the attempt to harness them? Whoever they are, the Norwegian fantasy Mortal aims to please. In fact, it’s so eager to be popular that its protagonist, played by Nat “the brother who wasn’t in Hereditary” Wolff, is an American, albeit…

In 2000, Don Hertzfeldt released his first animated short film, Rejected, not long after graduating college. Its nine-minute runtime includes silly hats, giant spoons, a talking banana, the end of the world, and copious amounts of an anonymous cotton candy creature’s ass blood. Although nominated, it somehow did not…

While its creator can’t seem to keep a tight lid on her trashy, ill-informed opinions, the Harry Potter franchise still has a bit of a stronghold on those who have long adored it. We get it: Quitting anything can be tough. But now that the Harry Potter films are officially off of all streaming platforms, there is no…

Sean Connery only played Professor Henry Jones in a single Indiana Jones movie—1989's Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade—but, three decades on, he resonates as an integral part of the franchise. “Connery wielded a lot of weaponry during his days onscreen, but neither a Walther PPK nor the katana of Juan Sánchez…

Twas the long, dark night before the 2020 Election when Alton Brown shared a series of tweets that will only make sense to everyone feeling absolutely unhinged at this particularly horrible moment in time. In a world beset by a pandemic that increasingly few people seem to give a shit about, a presidential election…

Of all the many questions raised by the horrifying specter of the coronavirus pandemic, surely none were more pressing than this: When will Penn Badgley get back to making us feeling intensely uncomfortable about the feelings generated by his serial murderer character Joe Goldberg on Netflix’s You? When will he resume…

Wow, it’s finally here! The day we’ve known has been coming all year; the day we’ve argued over and worried about for so long; the day that’s kept us up at night, tossing and turning in bed as we wait for its arrival. That’s right, it’s finally November 3 and you know what that means: It’s National Sandwich Day!

Even with other high-profile animated series like Central Park and The Great North streaming or in the works, Loren Bouchard remains as committed as ever to Bob’s Burgers and the big-hearted Belcher family. The series creator tells Entertainment Weekly he still wants to move forward with a theatrical release for the …

With three simple words—“Fuck Sleepy Joe!”—Lil Pump, the kind of rapper the “WAP”-fearing GOP would normally scurry from, has become Donald Trump’s favorite new artist. Now, the president just needs learn the kid’s name.

Some friendships are like hitchhiking. You’re desperate for someone to take you where you need to go—the final destination being some sort of emotional satisfaction—and when you get there, you say goodbye. College is a prime breeding ground for these types of relationships: New people arrive with the change of classes…

Some things in life are just inherently funny. Walking into a glass door. A loud fart during Sunday Mass. Pets failing to stick the landing after a jump. And now, we can add to that list: A person living a happy and carefree life who is suddenly arrested and deported, thereby leading to an impromptu wedding in a…

The elusive work-life balance has been the subject of a few (well, a lot of) films and TV shows, but Apple TV+’s new workplace thriller, Severance, wants to take it to a new, unsettling level. The series, from creator/writer Dan Erickson, centers on the fictional Lumen Industries and its “severance procedure,” which…

We nodded towards Tracy Chapman’s lovely rendition of her 1988 song “Talkin’ ‘Bout A Revolution” in our recap of last night’s Late Night With Seth Meyers, but it’s worth breaking out on its own. It was a rare appearance for the singer, after all, with Chapman clarifying in a statement (via Pitchfork) that it was…

Note: This interview contains spoilers for The Craft: Legacy, so watch/read at your own risk if you don’t want to have any of the movie’s surprises ruined for you.

On a semiregular basis during the past four years, the same prompt has gone around Film Twitter: What is the defining film of the Trump presidency? Is it Todd Phillips’ Scorsese imitation Joker, all bluster and no substance? What about Bong Joon Ho’s Best Picture winner Parasite, about the ignorance of the wealthy and…

Deep, steadying breath, everyone. It’s Election Day in America. And not just Election Day, but the biggest, scariest, most potentially disastrous and republic-ending Election Day since—nope, this is it. This is the one. And late-night hosts, who’ve spent the last four-plus years finding ways to be funny while…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Tuesday, November 3. All times are Eastern. 

Television productions have slowed, stopped, started up again, and stalled once more, which has required networks and streamers to get ever more creative with their new monthly offerings. November’s TV premieres reflect the different strategies, from picking up British series currently running on Sky like the Maisie…

We Are Who We Are follows a brilliantly acted but ultimately dysfunctional penultimate episode with its finale, the closer to a brilliantly acted but ultimately dysfunctional series that brims with potential and struggles to deliver on a lot of it. We Are Who We Are hints at depth without fully reaching it. The…

The last time we saw the Jeopardy! GOATs—a.k.a. James Holzhauer, Brad Rutter, and actual GOAT Ken Jennings—they were competing against each other on the legendary quiz show’s The Greatest Of All Time tournament at the beginning of this year. The next time we see them, though, they’ll be using their supreme trivia…
