How long have we been deprived of true debauchery? Why, it’s been ages since a bacchanal of pleasure was available to the depraved freaks of North America. The Drafthouse Films is making it possible for the sweaty, horny masses to chug a whiskey banana split shake and scarf a Big Kahuna Burger while drooling to the…

Being friends with a comedian is scary. Who knows what trips, slips, or dumb iMessage typos are going to be immortalized forever on stage? If you meet a comic as seasoned as Tig Notaro, however, you probably don’t have to worry about embarrassing gaffes. Bluntly, you’re not actually as interesting as you think you are.

If you’ve been missing Broad City, the Babes trailer will be a breath of fresh air. Ilana Glazer once again plays the raunchy, freewheeling, pop culture referencing BFF everyone wishes they had, this time opposite Michelle Buteau. But the twist is these aren’t young and irresponsible New Yorkers, they’re new moms (who…

Hot Ones is a place for hot gossip, and the latest guest Shakira just dropped a spicy tidbit: she loves Family Guy. She loves Family Guy so much, she reached out to creator Seth MacFarlane to help out with a translation of her 2009 hit “She Wolf.” The track was released in Spanish under the title “Loba,” but…

FX’s Shōgun—easily already one of 2024's best TV shows—brings James Clavell’s novel to life in a way the 1980 limited series did not. It compellingly unspools the tale of Lord Yoshii Toranaga’s (Hiroyuki Sanada) ascension in 1600s Japan and is rife with battle sequences, beheadings, bombings, and verbal combat about…

Remember when Justin Timberlake performed with a giant “hologram” of Prince (it was actually just a projection on a sheet) during his 2018 Super Bowl halftime show, and everyone freaked out? Those were the good old days, apparently. Now, artists are willingly turning themselves into dead-eyed avatars and making…

It appears we’ve reached some sort of millennial inflection point wherein all the new nostalgic coming-of-age films are set in the summer of 1991. But where Snack Shack was a rowdy, boisterous midwestern romp, the trailer for A24’s Janet Planet, premiering June 21, is a quiet East Coast meditation threaded with…

The most famous line from Madame Web doesn’t actually appear in the movie. “He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died,” a clunky, ADR-dubbed expositional sentence that could have used a run through Grammarly, was an invention for the trailer. That trailer, combined with…

When the “Middle Europe” palace Chancellor Elena Vernham (Kate Winslet) presides over first appears onscreen in HBO’s miniseries The Regime, itlooks more like a dollhouse than a stronghold. The impression—a too-big, too-square blot against a dwarfing mountain range—screams of uber-privileged playtime. Elena and her…

The appeal of the revenge thriller is simple: it’s catharsis. A grim power fantasy that taps into the irrational parts of our brains that crave satisfaction after being wronged. Of course, in life, most people will attest that real enemies don’t come along very often, and transgressions against us are typically mild…

It’s been more than 20 years since the Talented conman Mr. Tom Ripley last stalked our screens. Best known to modern audiences through director Anthony Minghella’s 1999 adaptation starring Matt Damon, Ripley was last played by John Malkovich in the under-seen (and fun-as-hell) Ripley’s Game, which should give some…

It was only a matter of time before Top Chef season 21 would dig into Wisconsin’s reputation as America’s Dairyland. (Frankly, the wait was way longer than we expected.) But before Wednesday’s edition could stick its knife into all of the bries, bricks, and BellaVitanos of the state’s artisan-cheese culture, the…

We want to be very clear, from the jump, that nothing we’re about to say is meant to be making fun of Will Trent the TV show, Will Trent the character, or the Will Trent book series, all of which, we have been assured, are pretty good and entertaining examples of the procedural cop drama formula. It’s certainly not Wil…

In the now more-than-a-year since James Gunn and Peter Safran took over Warner Bros.’ DC Studios, it’s been kind of hard to get a read on which directions they’d be taking the battered and embattled superhero brand. After all, most of the attention on the duo’s post-DCEU output has been on Gunn’s own Superman (formerly…

Something happens to people when they read casting news from within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Perhaps because the internet is built on the foundation of “Glenn Danzig would make a great Wolverine,” some simply can’t handle any time a slight swerve in casting. We can take this back to Michael Keaton playing…
