Eric D. Johnson was stranded. When he called the The A.V. Club from a rental-car counter in Atlanta, the facility was fresh out of cars, bringing a sudden halt to a long day of travel for the singer-songwriter who’s been recording under the Fruit Bats moniker since 1997. Johnson was stranded, but not without support:…
Throughout the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, Jean Coulter was a leading stuntwoman in Hollywood, racking up hundreds of credits on shows like Charlie’s Angels, Wonder Woman, M*A*S*H*, and Days of Our Lives. She is perhaps most recognizable from Jaws 2, in which she played the ski boat driver who attempts to set the villainous…
What’s the ideal scenario for a “good” episode of Modern Family in its tenth season? The show is never going to reach the heights of its strongest seasons, the ones that made it a massive hit during its earliest days, but there’s usually still a few surprises with each new seasom. A few weeks ago the show said goodbye…
With adjustable weights, a massive DPI range, and custom RGB lighting, it’s no surprise that Logitech’s G502 was named our readers’ favorite gaming mouse earlier this year. If you want to experience it for yourself, it’s down to an all-time low $35 (from the usual $50) right now on Amazon.
Homecoming presents a captivating mystery, aided by an unnerving, sometimes jarring score. Across its 10 extremely bingeable episodes, Homecoming’s music is borrowed from some 45 film scores, lending their own historical and emotional resonance to a show that traffics in forgetting and remembering the past. And while…
On a day when the press became the story—that of an unhinged, panicky bully berating and eventually banning reporters for asking questions he didn’t like—Stephen Colbert was lucky enough to have booked a journalist who was on the ground for all the action. CBS White House correspondent Major Garrett was on The Late…
There’s a line from a John Mulaney bit that seems strangely fitting for tonight’s episode, and a lot of TV today- “This might as well happen.” It might be easy to think that with a season that relies heavily not only on the existence of an Antichrist with a My So-Called Life level of teenage angst but a cyborg Kathy…
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, November 8. All times are Eastern.
Note: This post reveals plot points from tonight’s episode of Riverdale.
There’s a strong case to be made that over the course of South Park’s 22-season run, “ManBearBig” is the most regrettable episode they’ve ever done. Don’t get me wrong; it’s far from the worst in terms of humor (who doesn’t love watching Cartman shit out fake treasure?), but by mocking Al Gore by having him get…
“Oh my God. I get it. I get it.”
Good news for anyone who had “Fuck no, dumbshits” chosen in their office pool to predict whether the end of the 2018 election cycle might lead Donald Trump to back off on his verbal war with the American press: CNN is reporting that its reporter Jim Acosta has now been suspended from the White House press corps, after…
According to CNN, the Girl Scouts organization has filed a lawsuit against the Boy Scouts Of America over its decision to accept membership from girls and change its name to Scouts BSA, which Girl Scouts says has “marginalized” its “brand and activities.” Boy Scouts Of America has been planning this shift away from…
In a way, every single episode of Riverdale is a gimmick episode. So when the show goes out of its way to create a very clear “gimmick episode” (for example, the Carrie: The Musical episode), it feels even more like an out-of-body experience than your standard, already pretty “out there” episode of Riverdale. But now…
In the wide and varied history of comic book adaptations, “unadaptable” has always been a dangerous word. Watchmen was considered “unadaptable” once upon a time, after all, as was Garth Ennis’ violent, profane Preacher. For many creators, the concept itself is little more than a challenge or a dare, as they push the…
Amazon’s Wickedly Prime snack brand makes a Nutella-like chocolate spread, and it’s actually pretty damn good! And at $9 for two 13 oz. jars (after clipping the 20% coupon), it’s way cheaper too. That’s down from the usual $11, so stock up, and pig out.

In news that sounds like more of a big deal than it might end up being, Kingsman star Taron Egerton has revealed that he will not be in the next Kingsman movie—despite having been the main character in the first two movies. Egerton dropped that announcement in an interview with Yahoo, and the specific phrasing he used…
