If we had a nickel for every time an actor relitigated a scene where they or their co-star had been waterboarded this week, we’d have two nickels—which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right? First, it was Kirsten Dunst talking about her “miserable” Spider-Man upside-down kiss, and now it’s Hannah…

It’s finally Hunter Schafer’s turn to lead her own blockbuster after her Euphoria co-stars Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, and Jacob Elordi paved the way, and—like Sweeney in Immaculate—she’s veering hard into bloody, in-your-face body horror. The Daily Beast was right when they called the Sam Levinson show “TV’s Best Horror”…

Over the past few months, we’ve gotten a whole 101 course on the wide range of different approaches to the hallowed Press Tour. On one hand, you have Reneé Rapp’s charming “no media training at all” Mean Girls tour, complete with cussing out misogynistic bus drivers and other such antics. Then you have Sydney Sweeney…

Few moves were more shocking, in the David Zaslav-led Warner Bros. apocalypse of 2022, than removing Westworld from HBO after its cancelation. Yes, the show was complicated and confounding, and yes, viewership declined over the seasons. But it was a keystone series for HBO in the late 2010s, a sprawling, stylish…

In this week’s biggest “Yeah, Duh” news, Lizzo isn’t actually quitting music. This is only news because she posted a message on social media with the all-caps sentence “I QUIT,” but did anyone actually believe she was going to give up releasing body-positive bangers perfectly suited for performing at Democratic…

It’s always reassuring to know that an actor actually likes the project they’re promoting. For every teary final table read or video of the cast of The Good Place being genuinely shocked at the twist in their own show, there’s, well,a Madame Web. But for Danielle Macdonald, the appreciation for her writers’ work goes…

In its first season, Beacon 23 billed itself as a sci-fi series about trust. In the farthest regions of the galaxy, a beacon (namely, a space lighthouse) was the setting for a constant cat-and-mouse game between Halan (Stephan James) and Aster (Lena Headey). Each had ulterior motives for being there, and the story of…

Carol Burnett is awake! Granted, her character’s speech is impaired so she’s not getting real dialogue, but Burnett can do more with slurred syllables and facial expressions than other comedic actors can do with whole monologues. All of Norma’s reactions to Maxine’s (Kristen Wiig) antics this episode almost made it…

Amid poor ticket sales, canceled tour dates, and the general sense that J.Lo is firmly in her flop era, Jennifer Lopez has set about rebranding her beleaguered “This Is Me… Now” tour so that people don’t think they’ll have to listen to that whole record. Variety reports that Lopez’s tour, launched in conjunction with…

It’s been a hard couple of years for Pitchfork readers and an even harder month. Before its parent company made a cool $2.1 billion off Reddit’s IPO, Condé Nast folded Pitchfork into GQ, laying off dozens of writers and seemingly killing the site. Of course, Pitchfork is still around, and its reviews continue to…
