M. Night Shyamalan mashes up two past hits into the wacky superhero sequel Glass
B-
The first time Samuel L. Jackson appears in Unbreakable, M. Night Shyamalan’s majestically moody turn-of-the-century spin on the superhero origin story, he’s waxing rhapsodic about comic books, with all the command Jules Winnfield reserved for imaginary Bible verses. Comics are real art, and not just for kids,…
NBC closes the case on Trial & Error
Sad news tonight for fans of the funnier side of murder: NBC has canceled its two-season comedy series Trial & Error, after an unsuccessful effort to shop it to another network. Per THR, Warner Bros.

Specifically, the…
A lovingly lighthearted Modern Family offers up a nice change of pace
B+
This season of Modern Family hasn’t featured too many “in between” episodes. You know, the ones that aren’t outlandish comedies or loaded with emotional stakes. Rather, the “in between” episodes are perfect to break up the season. This season has swung wildly to either outrageous, often annoying bits of comedy, or…

After last week’s riff on 90s films, You’re The Worst returns with a “standard” episode, one that prominently features the main ensemble, wacky adventures, some good ol’ sexual content, and, yes, plenty of jokes. “The Pin In My Grenade,” written by Philippe Iujvidin and directed by Stephen Falk, reaffirms Jimmy and…

Riverdale returns with bisexual cat burglars and shifting relationship dynamics
B-
Riverdale is a show built around protracted flirtations, none more thrilling than that between its kookoo-bananas invented world and our flesh-and-blood reality. For a vast swath of fans (including, admittedly, myself), the program does not take place between 8 and 9 P.M. on Wednesday nights but all day every day,…
Here's how those infamous, bonkers photos of Paul Ryan fuckin' shredding it at the gym came to be
Few political photographs of the modern era have sparked more obvious, Marie Kondo-esque joy in viewers of a certain sensibility than the Paul Ryan gym photos.

This Spinning Sleeve Makes Your AirPod Case Even More Fidgetable
As much I love my AirPods as headphones, the best feature of Apple’s wireless earbuds has always been their fidget-friendly charging case. I’m honestly shocked I haven’t broken the little magnetic lid from all the time I’ve spent absentmindedly clicking it open and closed to keep my hands busy. And now, thanks to Air…
With Hunchback Of Notre Dame, Disney's live-action remake machine has reached the B-tier
With Beauty And The Beast, The Jungle Book, and Cinderella already in the books and Aladdin, The Lion King, and Dumbo on the way, the options for Disney’s live-action remakes of old animated films are getting a little slim. That brings us to today’s news, which is that Disney is now in “early development” on a…
Captain Marvel's kitty cat has his own movie poster now, which is either cute or ominous foreshadowing
Ever since the first images for Captain Marvel started popping up online, Marvel’s marketing department has been very careful to put the film’s true star front and center: Carol Danvers’ adorable tabby cat, Goose. Goose (Chewie in the comics) has been there since the beginning, peeking out of the edges of big…

Rob Zombie's Devil’s Rejects sequel is done filming and apparently "chockablock with gratuitous violence"
It was the bloodthirsty, Leatherfacian Firefly family of 2003’s House of 1000 Corpses that introduced us to the filmmaking of Rob Zombie, but it was its sequel, 2005's The Devil’s Rejects, that had us thinking he may actually be good at it. Since then, he’s had some highs (The Lords Of Salem), some lows (Halloween),…
