Solo: A Star Wars Story is due out May 25, after a somewhat rocky production that saw directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller replaced by Ron Howard over creative differences with Lucasfilm, the removal of Michael K. Williams’ character, and reports that Alden Ehrenreich, the star of the spin-off, needed an on-set…
As befits a movie featuring 60 or more characters—including several of whom have their own franchises—Avengers: Infinity War has the longest runtime of any Marvel Cinematic Universe movie to date, clocking in at 156 minutes.

You might not immediately recognize Amber Nash’s name or face, but the second you hear her raucous laughter in Archer, you know things are about to get really freaky.

Though your personal preference may vary, Szechuan sauce and “I’M PICKLE RICK” are easily in the top five most-circulated bits and quotes from Rick And Morty season three. The former took on risible life outside of the show, while the latter has had its Breaking Bad parallels broken down by co-creator Dan Harmon. The…
Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s Westworld adaptation has come a long way from early reports of its fitful production, including calls for extras to perform some “genital-on-genital touching.” Now in its second season, the sci-fi/western thriller series has offered engrossing mystery after mystery, and several great…

The first season of The Handmaid’s Tale, Hulu’s adaptation of the eponymous Margaret Atwood novel, made for some of the best TV in 2017.

After filing for bankruptcy in late 2017, the toy retailer and refuge for those who don’t want to grow up announced it would close one-fifth of its U.S. locations, a number that ballooned to all 735 shops just last month.
