A week after releasing a vague teaser that was basically just Emma Stone and Jonah Hill starting at each other in a perfectly empty white room, Netflix has released a full trailer for its upcoming limited series Maniac confirming that it’s out to beat FX’s Legion at its own retro-futuristic, super fucking trippy game.…
A few years ago, we saw actor Jonah Hill get understandably miffed by a French TV host who relentlessly ridiculed him on live TV. In the aftermath, there were reports that Hill was considering canceling the rest of that particular press tour, which caused many to ask, “Why so sensitive, Jonah?” Well, watch the above…
Once upon a time, Jonah Hill was just the guy from Superbad. He’s good in Superbad! But now we are living in a world where Jonah Hill has been nominated for two Oscars, and is the guy from Superbad no more. Your latest instance of Jonah Hill being pretty darned impressive comes courtesy of A24, which is home to Hill’s…

Superbad was a pretty big hit upon its release, but, even then, film buffs would likely have been surprised by just how much Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s raunchy comedy would continue to resonate for both older and younger audiences more than a decade later. Sure, it’s funny, oddly wholesome, and filled with…
Based on the memoir of the same name, Gus Van Sant’s new biographical film Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot tells the story of cartoonist John Callahan, played by Joaquin Phoenix, who became a quadriplegic after being in an auto accident when he was 21.

We still don’t know a ton about the show, but Netflix has now released some teaser images from Maniac, a new black comedy series created by True Detective and Beasts Of No Nation director Cary Fukunaga. The show is based on a Norwegian show of the same name, and The Hollywood Reporter explains that it’s about “two…
It’s been a while since Gus Van Sant both wrote and directed a film—since 2007’s Paranoid Park, in fact—and nearly as long since one has scored with either audiences or critics. Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot aims to reverse that downward trend by returning to a favorite theme of friendships forged among the…
Ten years after its initial release, Superbad continues to live on in the American zeitgeist. Like other comedy hits before it, references to the film’s jokes have gone from being hilarious, to annoying, to nostalgia-inducing, to hilarious again. And even after a decade of everyone and their mother misquoting McLovin,…
When Rosie O’Donnell tweeted that she’s “available” to play Saturday Night Live’s Steve Bannon, it unleashed a feverish round of “Omgggggg what a good idea. Do ittttt” tweets from the anti-Trump cognoscenti. A fan-generated image of O’Donnell as Bannon even started making the rounds online, with O’Donnell ultimately…
Michelle Williams is celebrating her latest Oscar nomination by playing one of the ’90s moms to the cool ‘90s kids in Jonah Hill’s upcoming directorial debut, Mid-90s. Deadline reports that Williams will star as a single mother in Hill’s skateboarding coming-of-age movie, presumably fretting about the myriad…
Variety reports that Rooney Mara and Jonah Hill have signed on for Gus Van Sant’s Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot, based on the autobiography of subversive quadriplegic cartoonist John Callahan. Mara and Hill join a cast that includes Van Sant’s old collaborator Joaquin Phoenix, to tell the life story of…
Jonah Hill’s promotion of War Dogs—which was just released in France—hit a hiccup this week, after he received some rough treatment on a Francophonic chat show. The Superbad star went on CanalPlus’ Le Grand Journal a few days ago to promote Todd Phillips’ arms-dealing dramedy alongside his co-star Miles Teller. While…
There have been plenty who paid a price for The Wolf Of Wall Street. Margot Robbie, who gritted her teeth through uncomfortable sex scenes. The sleazy, shitbag swindler who sued for defamation of accurately portrayed character. The entire country of Malaysia. But perhaps none suffered so much as Jonah Hill, whose…
Jonah Hill, who first made a strong impression on viewers with roles in such Judd Apatow projects as Superbad and Knocked Up, has been making a bid for serious respectability in recent years with subdued turns in classy films like Moneyball, for which he nabbed an Oscar nomination, and Hail, Caesar! But the scruffy…
A car pulls up in an icy industrial nowhere in Albania and men in long black coats get out, dragging an American stripped down to his underwear. He is narrating in the archetypal voice of Penthouse Forum, some variation on, “I never thought that a career in international arms trafficking would happen to me, but…” His…
Despite promising evidence—a title even!—that mashup of the Men In Black and Jump Street franchises was improbably going to come to fruition, Jonah Hill himself is saying otherwise. Speaking with The Toronto Sun recently, Hill said, “I doubt that movie will get made.” Apparently it’s just going to be too…
It would be easy and accurate to describe Sausage Party as a parody of contemporary family-friendly animation, particularly of the Pixar-produced variety. It explores the secret life, unseen by humans, of seemingly inanimate objects; it sends its celebrity-voiced lead character on an epic journey that ends in an antic…
