Is this the end of The Mandalorian as we know it? The past two seasons of the Star Wars spin-off have proven that we haven’t seen the last of most any character from the vast (and somehow also very small) galaxy far, far, away. But the season-two finale appears to wrap up Mando and Grogu’s excellent adventure in a…

When he was alive, Lawrence Tierney was often a go-to whenever Hollywood needed a heavy. He was stone-faced, had a gravelly voice, and, to paraphrase Reservoir Dogs, “Motherfucker looked like The Thing.”

You already know HBO doesn’t give a damn about the terms of a limited series engagement. To hell with the constraints of source material and narrative closure, they say! Why stop where the novel ends, when some people might say that’s where the story truly begins. And so, with Big Little Lies season two still very…

When it originally aired in 2006, the first half of The Sopranos’ sixth and final season was polarizing for several reasons: the overall length, an even heavier reliance on dream sequences than usual, and a storyline where the entire DiMeo crime family finds out that caporegime Vito Spatafore (played by Joseph R.…

While some of Ray Fisher’s co-stars haven’t exactly been vocal about whatever the hell went down on the set of Justice League, Gal Gadot is offering her public support in the wake of somewhat vague allegations against Joss Whedon, Geoff Johns, and Jon Berg. Speaking with Variety, Gadot confirmed that she was…

We have done literally nothing to deserve such an iconic collaboration, and yet we are blessed (and grateful) for it. Frances McDormand has signed on to star in Sarah Polley’s next directorial effort, and her first since the remarkable 2012 doc Stories We Tell. Per Variety, McDormand will produce and star in Women…

Is Paris Hilton a Promising Young Woman? “Stars Are Blind,” the debut single from the smarter-than-she-seems socialite, gets a big singalong moment in the new thriller from Emerald Fennell, with stars Carey Mulligan and Bo Burnham traipsing through the neon-tinged aisles of a drugstore while belting out the tune. It’s…

However divisive his more recent albums may be, there’s no denying Eminem’s technical prowess as a rapper. He’s still unparalleled when it comes to internal rhyming, knows his way around a phrase, and—as exhibited in his final verse on the Juice WRLD collab “Godzilla”—can spit rapid-fire verses faster than ever.

Sylvie’s Love is the kind of movie cinephiles are talking about when they complain that “They don’t make them like they used to.” It’s a film for adults and about adults. More specifically, though, it resembles the films “they” used to make in the sense that it harkens back to the aesthetic language of classic…

The IP mines are going dry, friends. Hot on the heels of Hollywood announcing reboots of Night Court, Little House On The Prairie, and L.A. Law comes the news that former All My Children star Kelly Ripa is reviving the daytime soap for ABC and reimagining it for primetime.

Watching BBC America’s The Watch—at least, watching it as a fan of Terry Pratchett’s massively best-selling Discworld novels, on which it’s (very) loosely based—is a bit like listening to two songs running at the exact same time. There’s the surface-level tune, i.e., all the things that’ve been lifted directly from…

Yesterday, The A.V. Club posted its list of the best movies of 2020. That was, of course and as it always is, a group effort—a picture of the year in film as determined through consensus as much as singular passion. For the latter, you can peruse the individual ballots, which provide a look at how all 12 contributors…

I grew up on a steady stream of ’80s and ’90s comedies about how hilarious it would be if men had to parent their own kids. So you can imagine my surprise when I flipped on TCM a few years ago and discovered a romantic comedy from the 1940s that featured its dreamy male lead bathing a baby with the confidence of a…

“This is a pretty amazing time to be you,” is how Jimmy Fallon started his interview with Pedro Pascal on Thursday’s Tonight Show. That might sound like some typical Fallon-esque smoke-blowing, but, man, Pedro Pascal might be the only person really coming out of this godforsaken year of 2020 better than when he…

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Friday, December 18, and Saturday, December 19. All times are Eastern. 

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?

God, that was a weird one, huh?

In a move that’s functionally unprecedented in the world of digital video game publishing, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced today that it’ll be issuing full refunds for CD Projekt Red’s just-released, bug-ridden Cyberpunk 2077—and removing the game from its PlayStation Store “until further notice.” Indeed, a…

Ray Fisher has just lined up a new, high-profile TV gig, with The Wrap reporting that the former Justice League star (and current Justice League critic) has joined the cast of ABC’s recently announced Women Of The Movement series. Specifically, Fisher has signed on to play Gene Mobley, husband of Mamie Till-Mobley,…

2020 has been a hell-year, but it’s not like any of the preceding years were much better. Computers are controlling our lives, monitoring everything we and trying to manipulate us into doing other things, all while Twitter trolls use the anonymity of the internet to get away with being terrible people. Why, it’s…

Jeremy Bulloch has died. A British actor best known for his work in the Star Wars franchise—where he embodied iconic bounty hunter Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi—Bulloch was a prolific performer on the U.K.’s stage and screen. A noted collector of Star Wars memorabilia, and a regular on…

Averting a consumerist bloodbath that neither artist would have recovered from, Taylor Swift reportedly changed the release date of her latest album, evermore, as to not compete with fledgling up-and-comer Paul McCartney.
