It sounds like Ayo Edebiri learned from her own mistakes that “podcasts are forever” and “authenticity is dangerous and expensive,” even before Tina Fey gave Bowen Yang the same advice on his own podcast last week. After negative comments that the Bottoms actor had made about Jennifer Lopez re-emerged ahead of their sh…

The most awarded artist in Grammy history and a cultural icon that transcends the typical formula for a pop star, Beyoncé continues to innovate and experiment with her music. At this point, the only person she’s competing with is herself. She has no need for the traditional paths to success, the trophies, the chart…

We all get a little starstruck sometimes.

It’s hard not to sound like the numbers guy from The Rehearsal when perfect numbers just keep popping up in regard to Taylor Swift and her many spheres of influence. While Super Bowl viewership statistics weren’t 13 or 1989-related (that would have lent a little too much credence to the insane “Biden rigged the game”…

When Madame Web arrives in theaters on February 14 it will be the fourth film in Sony’s connected Spider-Man Universe (or SSU, although no one actually calls it that). Later this year, the roster will grow to six, adding Kraven The Hunter in August and Venom 3 in November. That’s just the official lineup, though. If…

Madame Web is a laughable affair. Intentionally so, at times. But for much of its two-hour runtime, the laughs come at the expense of the arguably capable work being put in by its charming lead, and the ridiculous dialogue she’s reduced to uttering with the best semblance of a straight face. To Dakota Johnson’s…

Any romance is enhanced by a sweet gesture, whether it’s a grand declaration or a subtle, everyday action. Doing something wacky to brighten up your partner’s day? Watching a TV show your significant other is obsessed with? Serenading them beautifully in front of an audience? Finally asking out the girl of your…

Once a reliable source of Marvel leaks, Mark Ruffalo is among the press’ best friends when it comes to scooping up spoilers that fall haphazardly from the actor’s notoriously loose lips. This time, he’s gone too far. Per Variety, despite the casting announcement Ruffalo thought he was spoiling, the Hulk will not…

As the remarkable Adam Sandler resurgence continues unabated with the positive reviews of his latest two Netflix films, You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah and Leo, the Sandman is itching to get back on stage and convert any remaining anti-Sandler stalwarts.

Generally, when previously ad-free streaming services have added ads, they’ve done so by introducing new ad-supported tiers that are cheaper than the regular tier while (probably) increasing the price of the existing ad-free tier to incentivize users to drop down to the one with ads. Amazon isn’t like every other…

The growing danger of the Internet is that we won’t be able to trust what we see or hear. It’s already pretty easy to spread misinformation on social media, but as artificial intelligence and deepfakes become more precise and accurate, it will be even harder to separate fact from fiction. Maybe it’s a little dramatic…
