Black Mirror Trailer: Jodie Foster Spins a Frightful Tale of Parental Guidance
How far would you go to protect your child? That’s the million-dollar question in the latest trailer for Black Mirror Season 4, which highlights the Jodie Foster-directed episode “Arkangel.”

The clip features Rosemarie Dewitt (Mad Men) as an overprotective mother who goes to extreme lengths to keep her daughter safe after a momentary scare at a park. This involves enrolling her kid in some cryptic “trial period.” What that entails is unclear, but there’s a procedure involving a giant needle (yikes!).

Will ‘Coco’ Topple ‘Justice League’ at the Thanksgiving Weekend Box Office?

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Half a decade ago, DC was riding high on an unprecedented tidal wave of critical and commercial acclaim. Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning Dark Knight trilogy fundamentally changed the kinds of conversations people were having about the superhero genre. And while people took Superman and Batman seriously decades prior, this was something new altogether: an undeniably adult, decidedly auteur, realistically shot thriller that had far more in common with police procedurals like The French Connection than with campy romps like Batman & Robin. Today, DC’s latest blockbuster, the long-awaited Justice League, can’t even scrape by at

‘She’s Gotta Have It’: Spike Lee’s Wild New Ending is Awkward and Provocative for All the Right Reasons

‘She’s Gotta Have It’: Spike Lee’s Wild New Ending is Awkward and Provocative for All the Right Reasons
[Editor’s note: The following article contains spoilers for the “She’s Gotta Have It” Season 1 finale, “#NolasChoice,” written and directed by Spike Lee. For a spoiler-free review, click here.]

Anyone looking to escape their own awkward Thanksgiving dinners by bingeing “She’s Gotta Have It” was in for a rude awakening in the Season 1 finale. Determined to set the record straight for herself and her three beaus, Nola Darling (DeWanda Wise) invites each of her lovers over for a surprise meeting of the men. While the dining room table discussions are just as awkward as you can imagine — and more so once Nola reveals her latest artwork — the episode overall turned out to be a beautiful statement of autonomy, agency, and understanding, helped along by the night’s in memoriam honoree: Prince.

But we’ll get to Prince in a second. Given the events of the season, it felt inevitable Jamie Overstreet (Lyriq Bent), Greer Childs (Cleo Anthony), and Mars Blackmon (Anthony Ramos) had to meet. They had come close so many times, be it near run-ins around Fort

Performer of the Week: Chris Sullivan

Performer of the Week: Chris Sullivan
The Performer | Chris Sullivan

The Show | This Is Us

The Episode | “Number Two” (Nov. 21)

The Performance | Going through a heartbreak is painful. Being the person supporting someone going through a heartbreak — while simultaneously experiencing your own major emotional pain — can be worse. And in Tuesday’s This Is Us, Sullivan did a first-rate job of conveying just how hard Toby was working to comfort Kate after her miscarriage.

The NBC series often relies on Sullivan for comic relief, especially in the midst of Pearson family turmoil (and to varied effect). But when it was time for upset and disappointment in Toby’s own family,

Gone, But Not Forgotten: 5 Must-See Movies and Shows Leaving Netflix in December 2017

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Season 1-11 – To me, Netflix’s best feature was never its vast movie catalog. Nor is it its growing library of original programming. Even its mailing service paled to its crowning achievement as a content streamer. Netflix has what is perhaps the best collection of TV series commercially available to stream. And while it’s natural and expected for program licensing to expire and content to be gradually replaced over time, it’s always disheartening to see entire series – especially critically acclaimed, long-lived ones – rotate out to make room for something inherently less impressive. But

AMC is Making a Mistake With MoviePass and It’s Going to Cost Them

Here is a thumbnail of the AMC-MoviePass tussle. AMC is the nation’s largest movie chain, and has up to now been forced, more or less, to accept MoviePass tickets into their theaters. MoviePass recently changed their terms of service to potentially limit members from overusing their passes because the company could potentially lose money. AMC, for its part, has done its level best to avoid accepting MoviePass pickets and a number of AMC moviegoers have decided to take their business elsewhere. MoviePass had to change their Terms of Service because, practically speaking, they have a questionable business model. Analysts wondered

Young Sheldon Review: We Give Thanks For Football

On Young Sheldon, Thanksgiving talk isn’t about the food on the table or the family blessings. In the Cooper household, it’s all about football. It’s only fitting we see Sheldon’s first active interaction in the game with his family. Not that Sheldon would ever willingly touch a football. He is more inclined to do what he does best: math. Usually the Coopers treat Sheldon’s mathematical ingenuity as an oddity in their house, but not necessarily something that directly affects them. Once Sheldon starts using math for something the family loves, even stranger things abound in the Cooper home. Sheldon is
