The nostalgia machine has turned the childhoods of people who grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s into big business, but anyone younger than that has largely been left behind by the Funko Pop! industry for one simple reason: Stuff that kids liked in the ‘80s and ‘90s is super cool, but older stuff is sometimes weird and…

The last time we saw the Bluth family in the first half of Arrested Development’s fifth season, a handful of people were missing, the family had realized it had no chance of funding its wall across the Mexico-America border, and Buster was facing a murder trial. Of course, that wasn’t really the last time we saw the…

March is a very “Tuesday” month, which sounds like something we’ve pointed out in one of these roundups before, but Amazon Prime certainly isn’t treating March of 2019 like a Tuesday. Not only is the streaming service getting the final season of its hit series Catastrophe, but it’s also getting another season of Tim…

Last week, The New York Times published a report on the abuse allegations of seven women against singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, with the accusers saying he had a history of being obsessive and controlling, as well as verbally abusive and vindictive against women who refused his advances—in addition to an allegation…

The original Avatar was built on the fantastical sights and sounds of a lush forest planet full of colorful cat-people who rode on dragons, but other than the familiar story of mean military people trying to destroy wildlife, it was all a little hard to follow. Why are we supposed to care about these people and these…

Veep is coming back to HBO for one more season in March, and this new trailer makes it clear that being a politician in the Veep universe is as miserable as it as always been—not that it’s any less miserable in our universe, of course. This time around, Selina Meyer is facing off in a presidential campaign against…

[The following contains spoilers for Alita: Battle Angel, so don’t read this if you don’t want to know about sequel plans.]

Aaron Sorkin’s HBO drama The Newsroom was sort of a revisionist history-style take on current events, with Atlantis Cable News’ team of smart, ethical journalists consistently working to find the most accurate and even-handed way to report on events from the recent past like the killing of Osama Bin Laden. In an era…

Perhaps better than anyone else in the galaxy, Anthony Daniels tends to know at any given moment what, exactly, is going on with Star Wars. He’s been in every movie, even the one that C-3PO isn’t in, and he clearly loves the brand so much that Disney and Lucasfilm are comfortable with making him an ambassador for the…

According to Variety, Chadwick Boseman is set to star in Da 5 Bloods, the next joint from Spike Lee—and the director’s first for Netflix, assuming the negotiations for that deal work out. The movie is reportedly about a group of Vietnam veterans who “return to the jungle to find their lost innocence,” with Boseman…

A few days ago, Fox renewed The Simpsons for two more seasons, ensuring that it will live on past the Disney-Fox merger, but it’s not the only animated show that will live on past 2019. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, both Bob’s Burgers and Family Guy have been renewed as well, though they’ve only received…

When people talk about the big late night shows and the fights to be on top of the ratings, most of the conversation involves Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, and (if he’s only a particularly good political tear) Jimmy Kimmel. They don’t generally bring up Carson Daly, though, despite the fact that he’s apparently been…

The Travel Channel was once the TV world’s best outlet for shows about ranking waterslides and travelogues about foreign countries with weird food, but it’s hard to get today’s young people to pay attention to the world’s best waterslides when they’re so busy doing a Fortnite. So, the Travel Channel recently rebranded…

Earlier this month, rapper 21 Savage was arrested by ICE—that’s U.S. Immigrations And Customs Enforcement if you’re a cop—on charges of overstaying his visa. 21 Savage is a prominent member of Atlanta’s rap community and has spent most of his life in the United States, but it turns out that he was actually born in the…

Comedy Central’s new show The Other Two just premiered a few weeks ago, but what it lacks in age it more than makes up for in enjoyableness, with our own Erik Adams saying in his review that it’s “as good as a freshman TV comedy gets.” Positive buzz like that wasn’t lost on Comedy Central, apparently, as the network…

In 2017, months after numerous sexual assault allegations surfaced against Danny Masterson, outspoken Scientology critic (and host of A&E’s Scientology And The Aftermath) Leah Remini theorized that the reason no charges had been brought up against Masterson was because Scientology had been working behind the scenes to…

Alexander Payne’s work always has at least a touch of the comedic, but apparently 2017's shrinking Matt Damon movie Downsizing didn’t do enough to scratch the Nebraska and Sideways director’s funny itch. According to Variety, Payne is working with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s production company Gary Sanchez for The…

Last week, we reported that ABC was working to ensure that this year’s host-less Oscars ceremony would stick to a “brisk three hours,” since not everybody can stay up late on a Sunday night to watch whatever painful skits and shenanigans the Academy has planned in lieu of a host, and now we know one of the ways that…

Netflix apparently doesn’t want to be in the Marvel business anymore, which may have something to do with Disney pulling its streaming offerings in anticipation of the launch of Disney+, but Hulu doesn’t have any such beef with Marvel or the mouse people. Not only does it already have Runaways, but today Hulu…
