Celebrating the fifth anniversary of X-Men: Dark Phoenix and Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, Deadline reports the Mouse House is finally getting serious about a new X-Men movie. Marvel Studios is reportedly in final talks with…

In an update that is most likely for the best, the BBC announced this week (via Deadline) that Michaela Coel is no longer developing a new series with links to her semi-autobiographical hit, I May Destroy You. Back in 2021, Piers Wenger,…
Thanks to a growing roster of shows from Marvel (your WandaVisions) and the Star Wars camp (your Andors), along with a cache of beloved series, from Alias to Black-ish, there are plenty of gems on this streamer worth watching beyond…
From the moment Disney announced its Star Wars hotel—sorry, its Galactic Starcruiser—it was the subject of ridicule and indignation. The price point was a particular area of consternation; the hotel only offered two-day, two-night stays,…
It is said that the grand metaphor to describe the United States is a melting pot, where cultures from all over the world that have gathered in a shared space form a gumbo where their flavors merge, the whole supplanting the constituent…
AI could truly never make The Fly or Videodrome, but David Cronenberg still envisions a world in which the technology blots out Hollywood entirely. “You can imagine a screenwriter sitting there, writing the movie, and if that person can…
In this increasingly cynical age of recycled intellectual property, it’s probably not surprising that we would get a new cinematic adaptation of Garfield, especially given the original comic’s perpetual status as meme fodder for every…
Last year, I wrote about how Abbott Elementary had TV’s greatest ongoing slow-burn romance, a wholesome and endearing one that filled a Leslie-and-Ben- and Jim-and-Pam-shaped void in our hearts. And apparently, seasons one and two of the…
Jon Stewart returned to his desk tonight ready to talk about the fifth most important news story of the day: The so-called cancelation of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. Butker recently gave one of those classy commencement…
Scarlett Johansson must be the only actor AI companies know. Months after taking legal action against another sketchy tech firm that used a deepfake of Johansson to sell worthless junk, the two-time Oscar nominee remains undefeated. Per…
Not since an impromptu bullying trip to Qatar with disgraced English sports broadcaster Richard Keys and his “exceptionally Scottish” friend Andy has Alan Partridge’s fire burned so brightly. That was May 2017, when his masterful Scissored…
Last year, Disney described Pirates Of The Caribbean as a “priority,” but the franchise has been in development hell basically since the last soft-reboot, Dead Men Tell No Tales, in 2017. In 2020, it was announced Margot Robbie was…
Love Is Blind continues to be a fairly popular Netflix reality series as well as a fairly controversial breeding ground for some of reality television’s nascent organizing efforts. Previous contestants have accused Netflix and the show’s…

Kevin Costner is big on believing, whether that’s in aliens or in himself. “I’m so grateful that I’ve never seen a UFO,” the actor-director said in a recent GQ cover story. “I’m a pretty sane person, although some people would think maybe…
It’s a pretty big stretch to think that classically liberal Hollywood would ever make a movie that was a flattering portrayal of Donald Trump. Maybe because it’s an indie film, billionaire investor Dan Snyder (owner of the Washington…
We know, we know—it’s tough to subscribe to yet another streaming platform. But even so, NBC Universal’s service is worth the sacrifice. Peacock is home to network standouts like The Office, 30 Rock, and other irreverent comedies. To help…

Lawyers for Cassie Ventura—the recording artist and ex-partner of Sean “Diddy” Combs—have responded to an apology video posted by the rapper on Instagram on Sunday. Combs uploaded the mea culpa in response to a disturbing hotel security…
Youth Without Youth, Tetro, Twixt—years could pass without us hearing the titles of these Francis Ford Coppola movies. These digitally-shot, classically-infused “late era” films excited, baffled, and irritated 21st century audiences in…
Three decades ago—on January 26, 1994, to be precise—two glorious words graced the ears of 26 million ABC viewers for the first time: “It stinks.” Cartoon film critic Jay Sherman (voiced by Jon Lovitz) had a massive audience but would be…
Amy Winehouse fans weren’t exactly delighted by the news that there would be a biopic of her life. Following the singer’s tragic death in 2011 at the age of 27, her devotees have grown used to witnessing all manner of tacky and…
Well, that was fast. Even for a show so eager to reconfigure and relocate itself episode by episode, it still feels like next week’s finale, and the Captain’s return to Vietnam, has suddenly snuck up on us a little, with so many dangling…
Any reservations I may have had following Anne Rice’s Interview With The Vampire’s second-season premiere have dissipated with what is arguably the way you kick off a change of time and scenery following a season-break time jump. Long gone…
Welcome to What’s On, our weekly picks of must-watch shows. Here’s what you need to watch from Sunday, May 19 to Thursday, May 23. All times are Eastern.
We did it, folks. Another season of Saturday Night Live has officially come to an end, with some real highs (Ryan Gosling! Kristen Wiig! Adam Driver!) and some woeful lows (two words: Shane Gillis).
There’s maybe no project looming on the pop culture horizon at the moment that we need to be good quite like the King Of The Hill revival that’s currently in the works at Hulu. Mike Judge and Greg Daniels’ long-running, low-key examination…
