This week’s question comes from The A.V. Club’s Deputy Managing Editor, Caitlin PenzeyMoog:

Once in a very long while, strangers on the internet will put aside their differences in the name of an important cause. It’s never something so divisive as humanitarian aid or the restoration of our democracy. That’s the stuff you’re supposed to fight over. No, the collective energy of internet users should be saved…

Nobody in TV bats a thousand. Well, maybe the British The Office. But, by and large, even the medium’s most vaunted series have a dud episode or two in the mix. Just look at Stranger Things’ second season last year, which paired us up with a bunch of bargain-bin X-Men in one of the most disappointing TV episodes in…

You know Cyrano de Bergerac even if you don’t know Cyrano De Bergerac. The protagonist of Edmond Rostand’s century-old play—based loosely on the life of an actual French polymath—is a canonical figure, his romantic plight, panache, and prodigious proboscis immortalized in countless stagings, adaptations, and lit-class…

Almost 10 years after their Comedy Central revival, the cast of Futurama will reunite at the ATX Television Festival. Well, most of the whole cast—as Entertainment Weekly reports, Billy West, Maurice LaMarche, Phil LaMarr, and David Herman will do a table read, followed by a Q&A, with showrunner David X. Cohen. But…

Though getting to know the voice behind iconic cartoon characters can be somewhat distracting, it can also reveal some hilarious truths. Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob Squarepants, played both a satanist preacher and an acid-tripping monster during his stint on Mr. Show, for example. And Phil LaMarr, whose head we…

Netflix has announced its January 2018 offerings just in time to help you narrow down your New Year’s viewing resolutions.

He’s best known for his voice work on Futurama as Bender, but he also lends his talents to Adventure Time, American Dad!, and Samurai Jack. But, as we all do, he had to start somewhere. At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, he took part in…

John DiMaggio has the kind of résumé that would leave most voice actors envious. He’s best known for his work on Futurama as Bender, but he’s also made appearances on Adventure Time, American Dad! and Samurai Jack. At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, he took part in the I Know That Voice panel. The 2013 documentary is…

While most voice actors tend to go unrecognized for their talents, forever hidden behind the larger-than-life characters they lend their voice to, John DiMaggio is one of the few exceptions. As the voice of Bender in Futurama; Jake The Dog in Adventure Time; and countless other memorable characters from TV, movies,…

Generation-X kids were pretty well off during their formative years, pop-culture-wise: They could play some Donkey Kong, chat with their friends via AOL, and amuse themselves with great TV like The Ren & Stimpy Show, He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe, and Doug.

This week’s question comes from reader Ben Kennedy:

If the GIF is the preeminent art form of the 21st century, then the High Quality GIFs subreddit is the virtual salon where the medium’s best and brightest meet to show off their work and compare notes. Recently, 17 members of this Reddit community collaborated on an ambitious project: a four-minute GIF tribute to…

Regular human sports are fine, but there’s going to come a time when mankind is just sick of watching beefy athletes catch stuff, throw stuff, and hit stuff. On that day, we’ll be thankful for the people who developed technology as awesome as these Japanese Sumo robots. After all, this kind of thing is just a few…
