Mike Pence is a simple man who enjoys simple things, like discriminating against gay people, staying as far away from women as possible, and watching pleasantly apolitical football games. Unfortunately, while Pence and…
Netflix has Black Mirror and Hulu is getting the Stephen King-inspired Castle Rock, and it looks like Amazon is ready to compete with both of them thanks to Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dream, an anthology series telling stories based on the work of the eponymous sci-fi writer. As seen in this trailer, Electric Dreams …
At long last, Hulu has offered up concrete proof of a Stephen King connection in its new J.J. Abrams-produced series Castle Rock, with this New York Comic Con trailer featuring a glimpse of a Shawshank State Prison logo on a car as it sinks into a lake. Up until this point, the people working on the show have promised…
A robotic vacuum that’s also a mop, the first real discount on the Echo Show, and eBags’ lie-flat toiletry kit lead off Sunday’s best deals from around the web.
Mike Pence is a simple man who enjoys simple things, like discriminating against gay people, staying as far away from women as possible, and watching pleasantly apolitical football games. Unfortunately, while Pence and the rest of the Trump administration are having a great time discriminating against gay people and…
After being gone for a long time, it looks like Mulder and Scully’s son is going to play a major role in the upcoming 11th season of The X-Files. That’s according to this new teaser, at least, which was released during the show’s New York Comic-Con panel and features some very X-Files-y teasers for what’s going to…
It has been almost six months since Disney and Lucasfilm released the first trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and while fans will still have to wait before they can see the next trailer, at least it won’t take too much longer. As announced today in a press release, a new Last Jedi trailer will be released tomorrow…
Other than a 2-pack discount, we’ve never seen a deal on Amazon’s Echo Show, until today.
Donald Trump is an absurdly self-centered oaf who couldn’t think of someone other than himself even if he were a character in a body-swapping movie where he had to live as a regular person until he learned how to be less of a jackass, so it’s not surprising that he seems to everything he does or says is brilliant and…
“House Call” is a finale full of send-offs but few goodbyes, proving once again how little anything sticks on Transparent. But this time, it isn’t mere tolerance that’s keeping the Pfeffermans (and their now-extended family) in each other’s lives. A general air of acceptance fills the episode, beginning with Maura…
More so than its central mystery or its musings on the nature of memories and humanity, I love Blade Runner for its world-building—even if that world is decidedly not a very nice place. The sci-fi classic is back with Blade Runner 2049 and I’m not spoiling anything by telling you that world is even worse now. More…
With Justice League coming out in just over a month, Warner Bros. has finally shared a new trailer for the huge team-up movie. This one isn’t wildly different from the footage we’ve already seen, but it’s worth noting that this is the first full trailer (not counting that Comic-Con clip) to come out since original…
With more than 5.4 million articles, Wikipedia is an invaluable resource, whether you’re throwing a term paper together at the last minute, or investigating whether millennials really have changed the way people drink wine, or if they’re still pouring it into their mouths like before. We explore some of Wikipedia’s…
After being witness to nearly six hundred fans being gunned down (59 fatally) right in front of him while he performed at Las Vegas’ Route 91 Harvest country music festival last Sunday, Georgia-born singer Jason Aldean opened last night’s Saturday Night Live. Bumping what’s become the standard SNL-Alec Baldwin cold…
“Is it a maybe, or is it a no?”
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Sunday, October 8. All times are Eastern. I don’t feel tardy.
We’ve expanded the definition of AVQ&A—our weekly thought-starter—by asking you (and us) a simple question each week: What pop culture did you consume this weekend, and what did you think of it? If you have suggestions for AVQ&A questions, big or small, you can email them to us here.
“With everything he’s lost, it’d be a shame if that went too.”
Look, we get that John Krasinski is probably sick at this point of having every role he takes get compared with Jim Halpert, the floppy-haired smartass he played for nine seasons on NBC’s The Office. But it’s not our fault that the teaser for Krasinki’s new Amazon terrorist drama, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, opens with…
We have to give it up to the McDonald’s marketing team: When Rick And Morty creator Justin Roiland’s food-based obsessions gave them an opening into the fervent fanbase of one of TV’s hottest shows, they grabbed that greasy, breaded football and ran with it, as far and as fast as it could take them. Those efforts…
Jerry Seinfeld is a guy with a reputation for caring about jokes and comedy above all else (give or take a cup of coffee or a fancy car). Seinfeld doubled down on that humor-over-everything attitude last week, when he went on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and the two ended up on the subject of comedy legend and…
