Ezekiel, Eugene, and Yumiko stuck standing immobile, for fear of triggering explosive activity, is all too apt a metaphor for this penultimate episode of The Walking Dead’s 10^th season. Rather than do anything to liven things up, the table-setting installment keeps everyone either waiting around or wandering…

I’ve started to play a little game with this final season of Homeland called “Who is the absolute worst?” I don’t mean which character is the most evil or who has done the most harm in the world; this is more about the character who causes my eyeballs to roll further back in my head with each and every appearance.…

As reported by Variety and confirmed by The Martha’s Vineyard Times, Lee Fiero—who had a memorable role in Jaws and spent decades as an acting teacher in Martha’s Vineyard—has died of complications from the coronavirus. Fierro had been living at an assisted care facility in Ohio. She was 91.

Not to shock everybody, but it looks like Larry David has gone and put his foot in his mouth by doing something that probably seemed relatively reasonable and inoffensive to him but seems appalling to us. You know, like he does on the show! Unfortunately, this one isn’t super funny, as David inexplicably took some…

It’s been quite a while since we heard anything about director Luca Guadagnino’s plans to make a sequel to his 2017 adaptation of Call Me By Your Name, but… well, there’s not much else going on in Hollywood, so let’s check in. Speaking with Italy’s La Repubblica (via Variety), Guadagnino recently offered an update on…

My Chemical Romance had pretty much just gotten back together when 2020 decided that it was not okay (I promise) and killed off even the Black Parade—because it’s a terrible time for big public gatherings, even if a lot of those goth kids were wearing gas masks in the video—but MCR’s Gerard Way isn’t letting the…

As reported by Rolling Stone, Marianne Faithfull has been hospitalized in London after testing positive for the coronavirus. She had been self-isolating but began feeling cold-like symptoms and went to a hospital, where she was tested for the virus. She later developed pneumonia, so she has stayed in the hospital, but…

If you’re feeling a little lonely and are desperate for some human connection in these dark times, you should probably know that you’re not alone. We’re here for you, if you want to go down in the comments or whatever, but more importantly, TV’s David Harbour is also here for you. He recently posted a video on…

We explore some of Wikipedia’s oddities in our 6,033,951-week series, Wiki Wormhole.

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Sunday, April 5. All times are Eastern.

Our weekly thought-starter asks you (and us) a simple question each week: What pop culture did you consume this weekend, and what did you think of it? If you have suggestions for AVQ&A questions, big or small, you can email them to us here.

The current coronavirus epidemic has, obviously, played merry hell with the normal Hollywood film release calendar for the next several months—if not years. Faced with a world in which theaters are no longer in operation (and would suffer seriously reduced box office draws even if they were), studios are forced to ask…

Netflix’s Tiger King has done yeoman’s work for the human soul over the last week or two, allowing us all to find bullshit even stupider than our day-to-day lives to fixate on for a bit. The show has also, of course, been deeply controversial, with questions ranging from “Does anyone involved in this whole scenario,…

Few famous people seem to have navigated the rocky waters of celebrity—and especially online celebrity, where you’re always just one bad Instagram caption away from disaster—better than Mark Hamill. Having settled, seemingly comfortably, into his role as one of the elder statesmen of the science fiction and animation…

Well, this was probably inevitable: The first of what we can only assume will be a whole spate of coronavirus-inspired comedies is now officially in the works.
