A big day for Marvel’s B-list today, as the D23 expo has given the company a chance to announce a handful of new shows featuring some of its more beloved second stringers, all of them coming to upcoming streaming service Disney+. In addition to the Ms. Marvel series we reported on earlier today, Kevin Feige confirmed…

Ever since its title—the off-model-while-still-technically-containing-the-names-of-its-stars WandaVision—was announced, we knew that Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany’s little corner of the Disney+ MCU TV universe was going to be kind of strange. (It doesn’t help that one of its main characters is, uh, dead, and…

We’ve known since it was first announced that Disney’s long-in-the-works streaming service, Disney+, was being designed to compete with Netflix. And yet not even we were prepared for the levels the massive entertainment conglomerate would go to beat its rival on every conceivable metric, with Deadline reporting today…

The legal saga of A$AP Rocky and his arrest in Switzerland captured a lot of attention from fellow celebrities and public figures. One in particular, reportedly feels that he is owed a thank you for his performative pounding of the desk and tweets, none of which seemed to legally factor into the Swiss court’s decision…

Sending Eternals-heads everywhere into paroxysms of comic book-y joy— “Who will he play?!” they ask themselves, hands clutched in ecstasy. “I hope it’s Aginar, or Zuris!”—Deadline reports today that Game Of Thrones star Kit Harington is making his probably inevitable transition into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We…

NXIVM, the bizarre “sex cult” that counted Smallville actress Allison Mack in its ranks, is too weird a story to not get dissected to death. HBO, for example, has a documentary on the way, while Lifetime, as one might expect, wasted little time in putting together its own sensational depiction. Today, the network…

While much of our collective superhero focus over the last week or so has been on the fight raging between Disney and Sony over everyone’s favorite neighborhood tetherball, Spider-Man, the folks behind Disney+ are continuing to do their damnedest to lure us all in to their slightly more down-scale take on Marvel…

There is a version of the story of this company in which idealistic journalists, unconcerned with profit, are posed against ruthless business-doers, concerned about profit above all else. That would be a convenient story, pitching me and my colleagues and friends as people who just care too much about The Truth to…

Quibi, the forthcoming short-form streaming service with the dumb-yet-catchy moniker, hasn’t put on a flamboyant presentation like its Disney+ or Apple TV+ competitors (yet), but that hasn’t stopped the billion dollar-infused platform from announcing an assemblage of star-studded future programming. Headed by…

As anyone who’s recently tried can tell you, it’s practically impossible to find the time and people for a night of Pathfinder or Dungeons & Dragons campaigning. Roll20 has eased the recruitment process a bit, but if you still have neither the availability nor the adventurers, series like Critical Role, Force Grey, and…

Zombies are horror perfection: They kill without remorse, they never tire out, and there’s no reasoning with them. They’ve been around so long, and have gnawed so deep into our cultural fabric, that it’s easy to forget from whence they came. Thankfully, YouTube’s Nerdwriter1 is here to lay out the monster’s roots in…

Barack Obama, the former president who’s demonstrated a fine taste in pop culture—unlike that other guy who just fast-forwards through Bloodsport—has officially released his summer reading list for 2019. Using the presidential platform of Facebook, Obama posted a list of his recommendations based on books he read over…

Jada Pinkett Smith hadn’t acted in two years before she signed on to Angel Has Fallen, but it wasn’t like she was sitting around twiddling her thumbs. Smith is the creator, host, and producer of the Facebook Watch phenomenon Red Table Talk, which she appears on with her daughter, Willow, and her mother, Adrienne…

Today, Taylor Swift released her much-anticipated Lover, an 18-track collection of sparkly love songs featuring production by Jack Antonoff and collaborations with St. Vincent and Panic! At The Disco’s Brendon Urie. Give “London Boy” a spin and you might recognize another voice in Swift’s Cats co-star Idris Elba.

There’s a lot of music out there. To help you cut through all the noise, every week The A.V. Club is rounding up A-Sides, five recent releases we think are worth your time. You can listen to these and more on Spotify.

Well, the dipshits over at Fox News have gone and done it again. In the past, the network has picked on gun control activist teenagers, said it’s not really that bad to die in a church shooting, actually, failed to check that “a Navy SEAL” is actually a SEAL before having him on air, made Tucker Carlson a political…
