According to Deadline, Emma Stone is set to star in The Curse, the upcoming Showtime comedy series from Nathan Fielder and the Safdie brothers (a.k.a. Benny and Josh Safdie, the duo behind Uncut Gems) that we first heard about back in February. The series is about a married couple that A.) hosts a “problematic new…

If you know Jon Bernthal’s career, you know that with any new job he takes, there’s roughly a 90% chance that by the end of the movie/TV show/audiobook/commercial/PTA fundraiser, he’ll have either beaten the shit out of some other guys or gotten the shit beaten out of himself. (Admittedly, we haven’t watched Me And…

With superheroes having dominated popular culture for so long, it’s weird when a costumed hero pops up that we haven’t seen a while. Case in point: Zorro, a character whose legacy is so important to modern crimefighters that “seeing a Zorro movie” is an established part of Batman’s origin story, but one who hasn’t had…

Professional pigeon person Piers Morgan swears he is a lot of things (stalwart protector of modern masculinity, concerned razor purchaser, mathematician) but there is one thing he feels the need to convince a skeptical public that he is most certainly not.

You know how it is: Some days, you wake up and you just really want to punk some cybers. (Or cyber some punks? Who can say.) In any case, we’ve finally got our hands—after years of hype, delays, and controversy—on CD Projekt Red’s latest, massive action-RPG, Cyberpunk 2077, so we figured: Hey, why not check in on what…

Recording Academy interim chief Harvey Mason, Jr. has had to make a number of statements since the 2021 Grammy nominees were announced a couple weeks ago, ranging from “No, we didn’t not snub The Weeknd as some weird punishment” to a rather polite “Justin Bieber’s album is a pop song, despite what he thinks.” His…

As reported by TV Line, Paramount+ (the streaming service formerly known as CBS All Access) has picked up a reboot of Nickelodeon’s iCarly, with original stars Miranda Cosgrove, Jerry Trainor, and Nathan Kress all returning. The original show was about a teen girl and her wacky friends making a wacky web series, which…

Wang Liutai is a 65-year old martial artist from central China who’s determined to keep the art of “iron crotch kung fu” alive, despite the puzzling fact that there aren’t a lot of people in a rush to sign up for lessons these days. Watch a demonstration for yourself and it becomes even more difficult to…

Man, what a career arc. Bob Odenkirk has gone from acclaimed comedy writer to sketch comedy royalty to arthouse director to Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated actor. Now it’s time for his next trick. In Nobody, the latest film from Hardcore Henry director Ilya Naishuller, Odenkirk is a suburban John Wick, a retired…

One man. One night. One dead body. So begins The Vigil, the debut feature from writer- director Keith Thomas. Set in Brooklyn’s Hasidic Borough Park neighborhood, the horror movie taps into Jewish lore and demonology in its tale of an overnight “shomer” haunted by...well, something.

One Keanu Reeves is clearly not enough for the world anymore. Fortunately, we now have the technology to make additional Reeveses, as is demonstrated in the recently released video game Cyberpunk 2077, which features a digital Keanu, and in the person of Marcos Jeeves, a Brazilian man who is obviously the world’s…

How much you enjoy “Terra Firma, Part 1” (and, I’m guessing, it’s follow up next week) will depend largely on your affection for the Mirror Universe. It takes a while, and we have to have a Godlike Being and a mysterious door to get there, but the last twenty minutes or so of “Firma” follows Georgiou as she relives…

It may feel like just yesterday when we woke up to the news that Taylor Swift had recorded an entire album—folklore—in quarantine, but it wasn’t. That was actually almost five months ago. That’s plenty of time to conceptualize and release another whole-ass album, right? Right.

In the month since it premiered, Steve McQueen’s Small Axe has proven to be a landmark of long-form cinematic storytelling. The limited series, comprising five feature-length films, each taking a different approach to the decades of racism faced by London’s Black West Indian population, is an astounding achievement…

Stephen Colbert joked on Wednesday’s Late Show that having MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow as a guest allows him to coast in his nightly role of trying to make comedy hay from the squalid, murderous death throes of the Trump administration. Calling his guest “a champion talker,” Colbert yet clearly pepped up at having another…

Right now it seems like there’s at least one definite upshot to our collective upcoming socially distanced holidays: You won’t have to dread that inevitable moment during the family get-together when someone decides it’d just be an absolute hoot to put on “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” for the seven millionth…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, December 10. All times are Eastern. 

Say what you like about Christopher Nolan’s high-volume, occasionally provocative, only potentially pandemic-abetting stances on the sanctity of the theater experience: The man puts his money where his mouth is when it comes to his love of big ol’ blockbusters. That comes through, not just in a body of films that…

If musical theater is an acquired taste, then children’s musical theater is really limited to a particular palate. America got a crash course in that fact courtesy of NBC’s Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Musical! broadcast—the peacock network’s first musical venture since 2018’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live In Concert. While…

Will Ferrell’s 2003 Christmas movie Elf has become an unlikely holiday favorite, propelled by a surprisingly sweet heart, Ferrell’s go-for-broke central performance as the living embodiment of Christmas spirit in all its uplifting and irritating glory, and the ongoing, welcome sensation of going, “Hey, that’s Bob…

It’s not a good thing, to put it mildly, when a Hollywood star’s popularity with his fanbase is directly compared to the unthinking, “No, it’s good when he treats people like shit” devotion that supporters typically manifest for Donald Trump. And yet that’s exactly how the waning—but still fervent, among a smaller…

After years of smiling and making-nice, the dam surrounding Joss Whedon’s version of 2017's Justice League appears to be well-and-truly ready to break. Today, Cinema Blend reports on a podcast appearance recently made by Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984 writer/director Patty Jenkins, expressing her discontent with…

The conversations on social media provide daily assurance that not nearly enough people are utilizing Google on a daily basis. But when they do, users are heavily interested in three things: the lyrics to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP,” Tom Hanks, and “Elon Musk baby.”

It’s one of life’s simplest, funniest, most bewildering pleasures: Literary Review’s Bad Sex In Fiction Awards. Year in and year out, this annual event brings us throbbing members, swollen mounds, allusions to train tunnels and outer space, dubious meditations on female anatomy, and proliferate of use of the word…

It may seem like a lifetime ago that Promising Young Woman debuted to intense buzz at the Sundance Film Festival, but, believe it or not, it was less than a year ago, back at the end of January 2020. Initially slated for an April release, Emerald Fennell’s razor-sharp battle cry against a world where a man’s…
