“Your life matters,” Blanca tells Pray Tell with conviction in the trailer for the third and final season of Pose. This line accurately and succinctly captures the spirit of the groundbreaking FX drama, which centers on New York City’s ball culture of the 1980s. The show, which premiered in 2018, broke barriers by…
Released just before COVID-19 locked us all indoors, Autumn DeWilde’s Emma is a frothy confection of Jane Austen realness. A charming mix of ethereal pastel dresses, sweeping landscapes, and young British actors we’ve all fallen even more in love with over the past year or so, the film makes Austen’s Clueless-inspiri…
It’s been almost 10 years since Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl released the original The Binding Of Isaac, evolving a quickly-assembled game jam game into one of the heralds of a new style of indie gaming: The roguelike. Since its original release, Isaac has devoured thousands upon thousands of hours of human…
Jason Isbell has seemingly done it all. Beyond his Grammy-winning music career, he inadvertently played a role in the creation of the 30-50 feral hogs meme, and wrote a song for A Star Is Born that’s arguably the best Bradley Cooper solo track. And now he can add another big milestone to his extensive resume: acting…
Yesterday, the sun was shining bright, and birds were chirping outside my window, and the buds were really starting to come out on the trees. It was a stupidly perfect day really, and I had to go ruin it all by watching Seaspiracy.
If you put on Victor Kossakovsky’s immersive new documentary Gunda hoping to “oooh” and “awww” at a farrow of adorable little baby piglets, allow us to reset your expectations. It’s not that the movie doesn’t offer those moments. It’s just that, as A.A. Dowd wrote in his review, along with naturalistic soundscapes and…
The recent success of HBO’s Watchmen and Lovecraft Country speaks to the interest and urgency surrounding TV shows that recognize the horror elements in literary depictions of Black tragedy and trauma. There was horror in the minstrelsy of The Clansman, the Thomas Dixon Jr. novel that served as the basis for the 1915…
Stephen Colbert welcomed current scourge of the duplicitous and downright terrible, investigative journalist Ronan Farrow, to Tuesday’s Late Show. Asking Farrow just how the day’s high-profile subjects feel about getting a phone call from the guy who helped expose some of recent history’s biggest jerks, Farrow was…
A grieving space vampire tech whiz? Lex Luthor representing himself in court? The Phantom Zone inexplicably taking away Kara’s bangs?!? Tonight’s episode of Supergirl has all the zippy, cohesive spark I was missing from last week’s finale-premiere hybrid. And the big upside of the show’s pandemic-related production…
You can just picture it now: a roundtable of executives trying to find ways to make Ghostbusters: Afterlife marketable: “Muncher went viral but he’s ugly as hell and we need the Baby Yoda cuteness factor. So what if we turn the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man into a Baby Yoda? Kids will buy that, right? Or better yet—why…
I’m a 29-year-old straight male. I’ve been with my 25-year-old partner for six years. I love her and think that we are perfect for each other. We have all the things that make existing with someone wonderful. But about two years into our relationship I had a two-week-long affair while I was out of the country. I…
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Wednesday, April 7. All times are Eastern.
What’s more terrifying: mysterious supernatural entities or strangers who can’t stop staring at you for no good reason?

The second season of Fox’s Duncanville won’t premiere until next month, but the network has already ordered a third season of the animated comedy series from Mike and Julie Scully. This comes just a few days after Fox canceled Bless The Harts, which always kind of fit in a similar slot as Duncanville (they’re both…
The most compelling throughline in “Both Things Can Be True” takes up the least amount of screentime.

Eventually every decade will have its nostalgic resurgence, but as someone who lived through it, “The One With The Nineties” only proves that the decade in question was never that interesting to begin with. For the most part, it was warmed-over Eighties leftovers. Hey look, it’s Blockbuster video! Remember Space Jam?…
Tina Fey and Meredith Scardino’s comedy series Girls5eva was one of the more high-profile announcements of Peacock’s first wave (because it was co-created by Tina Fey and has a pretty famous cast), and now we finally have our first look at the series. Girls5eva, as you might be able to guess from that name, is about a…
According to Variety, Naomi Watts has signed on to star in an American remake of cult classic Austrian film Goodnight Mommy for Amazon Studios, with Take Me To The River’s Matt Sobel directing and original directors Severin Fiala and Veronicka Franz involved as executive producers (though how much involvement that…
