It’s like “this is the way” doesn’t even mean anything anymore, you know? This week marked another action-packed episode of The Mandalorian, but once he’s got a chance to catch his breath, Mando is going to have a lot to think about. This week’s episode was quite mythology-heavy compared to last week, introducing…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: With Werner Herzog’s Fireball: Visitors From Darker Worlds hitting Apple TV+, we’re highlighting some of the iconic director’s best documentaries.

Apple TV+’s Emmy-nominated drama The Morning Show has added Hasan Minhaj to the cast ahead of its second season, proving that one legacy streamer’s loss is another nascent platform’s gain. Per Deadine’s report, the former Patriot Act host will be stepping in to play Eric, who is described as a “charismatic, rising…

Whether you like it our not, it’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” season. Mariah Carey spends the end of October preparing us for this moment. So if you happened to see Kelly Clarkson announce her new Christmas track “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” it would have been totally within reason to think, “Oh man, I bet…

One of Apple TV+’s more striking entries in the streaming wars was Servant, a flawed but intriguing thriller created by Tony Basgallop and executive produced by M. Night Shyamalan. Could it stand to obfuscate a bit less? Absolutely, but its story of the “reborn doll” that takes on a new form upon the arrival of a…

Streaming libraries expand and contract. Algorithms are imperfect. Those damn thumbnail images are always changing. But you know what you can always rely on? The expert opinions and knowledgeable commentary of The A.V. Club. That’s why we’re scouring both the menus of the most popular services and our own …

For as much as modern life can suck, it’s always good to remember how grateful we should be not to have lived in other, worse places at shittier times in the past. For a good example of this, consider what it was like to get a divorce—and have a bunch of people pulling on and inspecting your bits—in medieval England.

The Great British Baking Show is on rocky ground after the mess that was the “1980’s Week” showstopper. Ice cream cakes in 90 degree Fahrenheit temperatures? Fortunately, the bakers manage to turn things around with “Dessert Week,” creating beautiful and delicious-sounding showstoppers that show just what this…

Bringing your significant other home to meet the family is usually not the best way to kick off a relationship—maybe after a few months or so. But nobody ever let an impulsive idea ever get in the way of a reality TV show, so HBO Max will soon offer us 12 Dates Of Christmas, in which three contestants search for the…

All Gas No Brakes has spent a lot of time tirelessly covering the most bizarre and ugly subcultures in modern America: the Proud Boys, COVID-era Fourth Of July parties, flat-Earther expos, porn conventions, motorcycle rallies, etc.

Ask any royal watcher, and they’ll tell you that Prince Charles has a slight stoop. He slouches through public appearances, hands in pockets, as if he’s been beaten down by the weight of his role in history. It’s an affect that hasn’t gone unnoticed by The Crown’s Charles, Josh O’Connor, and something that he talks…

As news swirls of a “gritty” Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air reboot, the cast of the original sitcom is reuniting next week to reminisce about the show, memorialize the late James Avery, and even hash out some hard feelings.

Discussions of the ethics of true crime invariably come back to this question: How would you feel if the worst day of your life was repackaged as entertainment? A former true-crime producer once told this writer that the reason he quit the job was because he couldn’t get over family members mechanically repeating the…

The pandemic has hit restaurants hard, but, we were naive enough to think that maybe GarfieldEATS, a Toronto pizza place that pays homage to everyone’s favorite cartoon tabby, would survive this terrible year. We were wrong. Earlier this week, The Garf’s marquee restaurant was forced to close in a dispute over rent…

Season four of Netflix’s raunchy crown jewel Big Mouth is set on proving that it’s never too late to go to (and eventually dread) summer camp. The NSFW animated puberty comedy returns in just a few weeks and, in Coach Steve’s preciously simplistic words, “school’s asleep.” So Nick, Jessie, Andrew, and all of their…

It was 10 whole days ago—Election Day, to be specific—that everyone’s favorite skeleton/songwriter Phoebe Bridgers promised to cover Goo Goo Doll’s iconic “Iris” if the people voted out Trump. And, ever since the map daddy called it for Joe Biden, the world’s been waiting with bated breath.

To comedy nerds with a taste for absurdist sketch and infectious melodies, thousands of YouTube users, and the Commonwealth of Australia, Aunty Donna is already a household name. But Netflix subscribers may have found themselves puzzled upon opening up the streaming service on November 11 and being greeted by the…

Dan Aykroyd was never better in his role as one of the original Not Ready For Prime Time Players than when he was rattling off rapid-fire pitches for weird stuff. Whether all-you-can-eat toad restaurants, the ill-fated decimal system takeover of the alphabet, or a creamy glass of bass, the young Aykroyd had a maniacal…

Every Friday, A.V. Club staffers kick off our weekly open thread for the discussion of gaming plans and recent gaming glories, but of course, the real action is down in the comments, where we invite you to answer our eternal question: What Are You Playing This Weekend?

People applauded a logo. I’d never seen that before. When the word “Lucasfilm” shimmered across the screen, my entire opening-weekend theater lost it. I might’ve applauded, too. The moment demanded a certain level of hysteria. We were here. It was happening. This day seemed like it would never arrive, but now there…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Friday, November 13, and Saturday, November 14. All times are Eastern. 

If there’s one thing that’s got to be truly great about running a TV show, it’s giving some young hopeful their first real shot at stardom or success. So it’s with the maximum kudos available that we report tonight that Late Night With Seth Meyers has expanded its writing staff by one this week, reaching a hand way …

Look, we don’t want to jump to any conclusions about The CW’s new anthology series Modern Austen, like claiming that it’s “Jane Austen’s Riverdale,” i.e., the sort of phrase so devastating and uncontrollable that it should probably come with government sanctions pre-attached. We’re just saying that this particular…

The Unicorn introduced itself with great humor and compassion in its pilot, which it carried through its 18-episode first season, becoming one of the best new shows of 2019. So it’s no surprise that the series would make a great second impression in the season-two premiere, “There’s Something About Whoever-She-Was.”…

There are few aspects of the entertainment industry more on-the-surface demoralizing than the celebrity junket, an industrial assembly line of day-long interviews in which famous people are asked to be professionally charming for 8 straight hours, while journalists in desperate need of a good quote dare them to say…
