If you want the durability and lifetime warranty of Anker’s PowerLine II charging cables, but you own a lot of different devices, this $11 microUSB cable (with promo code ANKERKJ8) includes Lightning and USB-C adapters attached to the end. It’s a little awkward, but it’s nice to know you’ll always have the right cable…
The Razzies have long been a lazy cabal of lowest-common-denominator jeering, routinely bestowing their booby prizes upon the kinds of cynical Hollywood fluff that never sought to be good in the first place. That said, a broken clock is right twice a day, and this year’s ceremony made the right choice by piling…
Jordan Peele immediately established himself as one of the foremost horror directors working today with his debut, Get Out. But, lest we think it was only the success of his first movie that spurred on a wave of spooky-looking projects—Us, The Hunt, that Lorena Bobbitt documentary—let us remember that, even from his…
Here’s everything The A.V. Club reviewed this weekend (some weekends start on Thursdays, right?), from the Star Trek: Discovery season-two premiere to the complete second season of Marvel’s The Punisher. Read more recaps and pre-airs on our TV reviews page.
Lucifer is a character who has gone through many phases over centuries, with writers and artists using the fallen angel to explore temptation, rebellion, and the darkness within human souls. The most recent Lucifer revival from Vertigo Comics, part of the larger Sandman Universe project, explores these many aspects of…
In the 1997 comedy Wag The Dog, Dustin Hoffman plays Stanley Motss, a movie producer hired to distract from a presidential sex scandal by orchestrating a fake war in Albania. Toward the end of the film, as Motss watches the elaborate military funeral he helped put together, he laments that his efforts are destined to…
$40 off the new water-resistant Kindle, a bunch of discounted Timbuk2 bags, Anker’s newest true wireless earbuds, and more lead off Monday’s best deals from around the web.
In the spring of 2015, the fact that Tina Fey and Robert Carlock had created a sitcom about a survivor of a doomsday cult wasn’t half as strange as where that show had ended up: Produced for NBC, it was later acquired by Netflix and set to be the first original comedy series to debut on the streaming service. Today,…
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Monday, January 21. All times are Eastern.
Welcome back to Supergirl and welcome back to a brand new Supergirl status quo! Rather than pick up on the Ben Lockwood arrest storyline from the midseason finale, “Suspicious Minds” takes some unexpected swerves as it explores Kara’s newfound separation from the DEO. It’s a pretty weird outing, one that starts as…
Through Maggie, the return of Charmed taps into its sweetspot of blending supernatural plotting with emotional character work, blurring the lines of the two worlds the sisters belong to in a coherent and meaningful way. Maggie’s devastated in the wake of learning that Parker lied to her and manipulated her. She feels…
Outlander’s passionate defense of true love has long been foundational to its narrative. Jamie and Claire have gone to great lengths to be together, traveling through time and space, grappling with war, loss, grief, drama, facing their fears and challenging their beliefs in the name of their magnetic, blazing love.…
“Are you awakening to what you withheld?”
The pivot point of Shameless’ ninth season was Fiona’s fall from grace: on the verge of translating her investments into true financial stability, her entire future vanished after a combination of a poorly thought-out investment, an ugly breakup, a drunk driving accident, and the underlying argument that the universe…
Just in case you need a reminder: Shazam! looks like a hell of a lot of fun. This new trailer is weirdly short, but what it lacks in runtime it makes up for in new footage that makes it clear that this is unlike any other superhero movie that Warner Bros. has put out in the last few decades—to the point where the big…
Hey, remember when Frank Castle experienced a morality shifting existential crisis when he thought he’d accidentally murdered three innocent people in a manic shootout? No? Well, good because neither does The Punisher! That hugely dramatic scene from the end of “The Dark Hearts Of Men” has literally no bearing on the…
Last week, Jason Reitman announced that he had been developing a secret sequel to the original Ghostbusters movies—as in, the ones with men—that would be targeted directly at the “fans.” A trailer even came out that billed the movie as Ghostbusters 3, with rumors suggesting that the surviving ‘busters from the old…
There’s nothing wrong with an awards season surprise, but the continued popularity of Peter Farrelly’s divisive Green Book during this awards season has been the kind of surprise that people are going to complain about for the next few years. The movie already took home the Golden Globe for Best Musical Or Comedy and…
Let’s talk about Dr. Krista Dumont, a wildly uneven character who feels reflective of this wildly uneven season of The Punisher. There are times when the character totally worked—pretty much anytime she was putting on a polite face to manipulate someone and particularly in her relationship with…
It’s looks like the Abrams family is going to start buying that fancy mustard soon, as Deadline reports that all of Hollywood’s richest and most powerful studios are wining and dining J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot production company in hopes of luring them away from Paramount for a not new deal—and, presumably, a…
