We’re still a little stunned that there’s a new Gorillaz album coming out just over a year since the last one (2017's Humanz), but The Now Now will still be in stores later this week in June 29. Thankfully, if that’s still too long for you to wait to hear what Russel, Noodle, 2-D, and new member Ace (from The…

The season finale of Westworld airs tonight on HBO, but star Evan Rachel Wood is doing something more important than promoting her work this weekend. Evidently appalled by the inhuman bullshit Donald Trump and his goons are doing down at the United States’ southern border, Wood has hopped on a plane and flown down to…

David Lynch has built his career on bizarre films and TV shows that simultaneously become more meaningful and more confounding as you dive in deeper, but it seems like his current political leanings are annoyingly familiar. Speaking with The Guardian (via Deadline), Lynch says he voted for Bernie Sanders in the 2016…

According to Pitchfork, punk band NOFX claims it has been “effectively banned” from performing in the United States after frontman Michael “Fat Mike” Burkett and guitarist Eric Melvin made jokes during a show earlier this year about the 2017 Las Vegas shooting that left 58 people dead. “I guess you only get shot in…

Since the beginning of the year, “Weird Al” Yankovic has been doing a series of stripped-down performances for his “Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour,” with the basic idea being that he cuts out all of wacky stunts and costume-changes that are usually a staple of his energetic live shows. Plus, in…

A dark-ish secret of the entertainment industry is that a major factor in big awards like the Oscars and Emmys is the advertising campaigns that try to get voters’ attention. The idea is that if a voter gets a huge stack of critically acclaimed TV show episodes with no guidance, they might be so crippled by the huge…

Edgar Wright movies tend to land somewhere between “really good” and “great,” so it’s always a big deal when word starts to spread about whatever his next project will be. Will he reunite with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost for another brilliant genre satire? Will he make something wholly unique like Scott Pilgrim Vs. The…

After a few weeks of trying to work out deals, ABC has finally ordered 10 episodes of a new Roseanne spin-off that won’t have Roseanne Barr in it. Tentatively titled The Conners, Deadline says the show will premiere in the fall and that it will take over the time slot previously held by the Roseanne reboot last…

The final season of Parks And Recreation jumped a few years into the future, setting up some wacky running jokes about everyone’s absurdly high-tech hologram phones, and now AMC has confirmed that The Walking Dead is going to take a similar path for its upcoming ninth season. It won’t be giving everyone crazy phones,…

Johnny Depp has been going through some major financial woes over the last few years, with him claiming that his former managers at The Management Group have been stealing his money and the former managers claiming that Depp just really likes to buy stupid things (and wine). Whatever’s going on, it’s clear that Depp…

Just last month, Game Of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke claimed she didn’t know anything about what was going to happen in the show’s series finale, but Nikolaj Coster-Waldau at least seems to have a much better idea of what’s going on. Speaking with Variety, he said that showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff “couldn’t…

Earlier this month, Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz addressed the on-set outburst that Jeffrey Tambor had at Jessica Walter while filming the show’s new season—an incident that turned a New York Times interview with the cast into a complete disaster—with Hurwitz explaining that he didn’t realize how awful…

Donald Trump is still trying to figure out how he wants to structure his concentration camps, since that’ll be an important detail once history books start covering this horrifically dark and shameful period in American history, but at least we can always count on TV writers to take care of people in their times of…

We reported on a lot of horrible news in 2016, but one of the most horrible was the confirmation that the Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series would not be getting a third installment. Thankfully, nearly two long years later, we can now report a much happier development: According to The Hollywood…

Justice League didn’t murder its box office competitors with a precision blast of heat vision, as DC and Warner Bros. surely hoped it would, but everyone who passed on its theatrical run will soon get a chance to see some of the biggest superheroes in the world joining forces—assuming they have an HBO Go or HBO Now…

We haven’t had a Trailer Happy Hour in a while here at The A.V. Club, but we could all use a chance to relax, turn off the regular news, and pour ourselves a big glass of movie trailers. Today we’ve got some real refreshing stuff, including a movie where Steve Carell builds a toy town to recover from a traumatic brain…

According to a rumor dug up by Collider, Lucasfilm might not be making any more standalone Star Wars spin-offs like Rogue One and Solo, despite the fact that James Mangold was attached to make a Boba Fett movie just last month and The Hours’ Stephen Daldry was in “early talks” last year for an Obi-Wan Kenobi spin-off.…

The original Sicario was full of uneasy sequences where you knew something was about to go terribly wrong (or at least terribly violent), but you were never quite sure when it would all pop off. The sequel, Day Of The Soldado, looks like it will have a similarly unflinching approach to the dangers of battling drug…
