Whether it’s thanks to podcasts, streaming series, or Stranger Things, the world of Dungeons & Dragons is being demystified for those who thought it was all cumbersome rules and statistics. There’s also been a conscious effort from Wizards Of The Coast, which acquired TSR in the late ’90s, to fling open the door for…

Every month, a deluge of new books comes flooding out from big publishers, indie houses, and self-publishing platforms. So every month, The A.V. Club narrows down the endless options to five of the books we’re most excited about.

Wes Anderson returns to stop-motion. Claire Denis goes to space. Joaquin Phoenix gets immobile and intimidating, not necessarily in that order. When sitting down to compose a list of the year’s most enticing upcoming releases, The A.V. Club tried to keep it to a manageable 25 titles, we really did. But then we started…

Search Party was one of the few good things to come out of November 2016, premiering on TBS in a weeklong binge (and just in time for the holidays).

Now that the Emmy deadline rush has transformed March and April into TV’s equivalent of year-end movie listings choked with Oscar-baiting prestige fare, fall premieres just don’t have the luster they used to. They still have the volume, however, as the broadcast networks cling to tradition, court consumers who spend…

Every Friday, dozens of new records are released into the wild. Some make big splashes, and others sink almost immediately. For most music consumers, it’s almost too much information, and save for those precious few who spend their hours glued to review sites and release calendars, it’s hard to know what’s coming out…

There are many reasons to go to a music festival. There’s the joy of the outdoors, the endless expanse of food vendors, and lest we forget, the luxury (and the music, we guess). This year, instead of putting together a qualitative list of the year’s best festivals, The A.V. Club has opted to highlight the ones that…

“Quiet” is a relative distinction when it comes to Oscar season; Hollywood’s annual pageant of self-congratulation—stretched across several very long weeks of acceptance speeches, for-your-consideration campaigns, and precursor award ceremonies—is about as reliably loud as any other pageant.
