There’s something about Princess Margaret that inspires Peter Morgan to think outside the box. He uses her episodes to indulge in new tones for The Crown—like a lush 1950s romantic melodrama or a brassy 1970s tragicomedy. “The Hereditary Principle” briefly feints towards being the latter, as Margaret and her…

Two writers are going from The Belchers With The Beef to the Merc With The Mouth this week, as Variety reports that Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin and Wendy Molyneux, who’ve spent most of the last decade penning episodes of Bob’s Burgers and their upcoming animated sitcom The Great North, have been tapped to write Deadpool 3…

Hey, parents! Thanks for clicking this article, we’re all going to have just a heckuva good time here in just a second. Before we get started, though, could you do us a quick favor?

The pop singer-songwriter announced her eighth studio album, Music - Songs From And Inspired By The Motion Picture, on February 12, 2021. “Uh, what motion picture,” you ask? Well, that’s where it gets just a little more complicated (or way more fucked…

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 archives to…

After having emerged, somehow largely unscathed, from the various bouts of “What the fuck is Yahoo! Screen?” madness that bedeviled Community across its six seasons (but no movie), Alison Brie now suddenly finds herself in a very similar situation with her Netflix dramedy GLOW. The wrestling series already had the rug…

Sam Ray was inspired by Chrono Trigger when, as Ricky Eat Acid, he penned his most successful song to date, “inside my house, someplace i keep dreaming about.” Now, the songwriter’s love for the music of ‘90s-era JRPGs has manifested in a new Ricky Eat Acid LP, When they align just so, memories of another life bleed…

A man has apparently died after completing an obstacle course on TBS’s Wipeout, Variety reports. The as-yet unnamed contestant appears to have gone into cardiac arrest shortly after completing the show’s course; he was attended to, first by on-site medical professionals, then paramedics, and was finally treated at a…

There’s no reason why a movie that features Jackie Chan, lion attacks, and machete-wielding henchmen on Jet Skis should be as boring as Vanguard.
