It’s a big day for Jake Peralta: Not only is he appearing in a trio of new trailers for Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s return to the airwaves (courtesy of NBC), but he’s also getting to live out a fantasy that is legally distinct from Die Hard—which, as viewers will recall, is his all-time favorite. As it turns out, the fantasy…

There was a huge Spider-Man: Far From Home panel at the CCXP comic convention in Brazil this weekend, and while those of us who weren’t there didn’t get to see the new trailer that premiered, some footage from the panel has popped up online that gives us some very weird and surprising hints at the direction the movie…

We just heard that Jodie Whittaker would be sticking around for at least another season on Doctor Who, and to celebrate we now have a teaser for her very first special since becoming the Doctor. Unlike in previous years, the special will air on New Year’s Day instead of Christmas, but it looks like it should be just…

If the Marvel Cinematic Universe has taught comic fans anything, it’s that the name of a movie doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with any comic storylines that have the same name. For example, Avengers: Age Of Ultron’s only connection to the Age Of Ultron event was that Ultron was in both, Captain America: Civil…

With The Defenders almost completely cut loose, it’s time for Netflix to move on to another superhero comic adaptation with The Umbrella Academy, an adaptation of the comic series by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá. The streaming service released the first trailer for the series this weekend, and while there are a number of…

Jodie Whittaker’s first season zipping around in the TARDIS on Doctor Who has been a huge success, so fans should be happy to hear that she has no plans of pulling an Eccleston and ditching the show after only one season. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Whittaker said that her time as the Doctor has been “an…

Every Friday, A.V. Club staffers kick off our weekly open thread for the discussion of gaming plans and recent gaming glories, but of course, the real action is down in the comments, where we invite you to answer our eternal question: What Are You Playing This Weekend?

There’s nothing worse than realizing you’ve fallen out of touch with society, like you used to be with it until they changed what it was and now what’s it seems weird and scary (to quote Abe Simpson). Luckily, that’ll never happen to us and it’ll never happen to you, because we’re all super cool here and we definitely…

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association got all the headlines very early this morning with its Golden Globe nominees, but it’s not the only organization that wants to hand out some trophies early next year. One of the others is the Writers Guild Of America, which has just announced the nominees for the TV categories…

It’s been close to two years since we last heard anything about Bad Boys For Life, the third movie in the reasonably good action movie series, but it seems like the project is still having some problems. After all, it was supposed to come out a month ago and didn’t, which is usually indicative of some issues.

Last week, we reported that Fox and producers working on Cosmos were investigating allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior that had been raised by three women against famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson (the host of Cosmos). The next day, Tyson released a statement about the allegations, saying that he…

The past few years have been tough for Milo Yiannopoulos, the writer(?) whose fascist, racist, Trumpy fanboyism has made him one of the most reliably hated people in the internet. Or at least he used to be on the internet, as he’s been kicked off Twitter, quit Breitbart before he could be fired, and lost a Daily…

In a move taken from the Justice League in the ‘80s, Sony has apparently dubbed its Men In Black reboot Men In Black International—at least according to some promotional materials spotted by Collider at Brazil Comic-Con. The original Men In Black movies were more or less relegated to Manhattan and the surrounding…

Thanks to super-producer James Wan, the Resident Evil movie series is getting rebooted with a new focus that will reportedly bring it more in line with the Resident Evil video games—or at least the good Resident Evil video games. Now, as reported by Variety, the reboot has found a writer and director in Johannes…

For a show that was very well received in its first season, American Gods has had a hell of a time making it to season two. Original showrunners Bryan Fuller and Michael Green quit the show last year, either because Starz wouldn’t give them the budget they wanted or because they were butting heads with Neil Gaiman…

This week, EA released “The Last Tiger,” the final mission for Battlefield V’s single-player campaign. Unlike the rest of the game, which has you fighting Nazis from various perspectives throughout World War II, “The Last Tiger” actually puts you in the jackboots of a German tank commander as he tries to defend…

The Simpsons has been on for a long time. A long time. Some might even say too long. On Sunday, we’ll get a very clear indication of just how long its been when Fox re-airs the very first full-length Simpsons episode as part of a mini holiday celebration in the lead-up to Christmas. The episode in question is…

For the past day or so, the film world has been freaking out over the Motion Picture Academy’s apparent inability to find someone—anyone—willing to host the 2019 Academy Awards. It was the sort of huge nightmare scenario that regularly devastates the film industry but is mostly meaningless to everyone else, especially…

In a twist befitting some hypothetical filmmaker who is known for manufacturing clever twists, the Tales From The Crypt reboot that M. Night Shyamalan was working on a few years ago is officially dead, and it’s all for a spookily mundane reason. The reboot was in the works at TNT and actually got as far as having a…
