In all other sports games, I’m a team player, but in NBA 2K22, it’s OK to look out for No. 1
When Denis Villeneuve’s Dunearrives in theaters and on streaming services October 22, it will do so while laboring under a number of shadows. There are the past adaptations of Frank Herbert’s landmark sci-fi novel, obviously—both David Lynch’s flawed but fascinating effort in 1984, and the unrealized (and thus…
The Beatles fans rejoice. The trailer for Peter Jackson’s docuseriesThe Beatles: Get Back, offers a first look at hours of never-before-seen footage of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr as they prepare for what would be their final live performance in 1969. After being locked in a vault…
You really only need to watch the first 3 minutes. I had no idea Newman was actually the guy in JFK!
It’s pretty easy for pop culture parodies to fall flat when thrown into movie and TV comedies, usually because they’re little more than pandering attempts to recreate familiar scenes and quotes with no point other than to spark a sense of recognition in audiences. Seinfeld’s references to film, though, were often…
Perhaps Adam McKay saw the Knives Out 2casting announcements and said “hold my beer” because his casting for his Netflix film Don’t Look Up is pretty incredible: Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothée Chalamet, Jonah Hill, Chris Evans, Cate Blanchett, Ariana Grande, Scott Mescudi (Kid Cudi),…
The trailer for Ridley Scott’s forthcoming historical epic features a lot of clanking armor, accusations, and not to mention a good ol’ yell from Adam Driver. Over the course of 2 minutes, with grand imagery bolstered by a strong cast, a crime committed against a woman becomes the framework for a conflict between two…
Just bought this, can't wait to read it, not reading this article
Few people in Hollywood have more affection for a throwback gesture than Quentin Tarantino. Old-school film formats, retro title cards, actual printed programs—Tarantino has filled his films, and the spaces around them, with his love of the ephemera and detritus of classic cinema. But no gesture has ever matched the…
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?
Stallone, apparently, never cared much, saying in 1992 that he’d be happy to have a meal in pill form because “I’m just not prone to chew a lot” and because “It doesn’t go with my personality.”. Wild.
Back in the ‘90s, there was no thrill more potent than swinging the doors of a Planet Hollywood wide open, knowing that you were in for an overpriced burger eaten below movie artifacts like prop jackets or a big, almost-nude Sylvester Stallone mannequin. The excitement the chain generated at the time was so high that…
Wawa is a way of life in Pennsylvania. With its fluorescent lights shining from the ceiling onto aisles of pretzel twists, Utz potato chips, and peanut chews, like beams from the heavens, the convenience store chain is nothing more than God’s country to Pennsylvanians. So who better than Wawa to bestow its…
We all love it when Steven Soderbergh does a heist movie. It’s a verifiable fact that it’s
one of everyone’s favorite things. Ask any person on the street what their
favorite thing is and say “no another thing” a bunch of times; eventually, they’ll say
“Steven Soderbergh heist movie.” They’d be right, too, because no…
We’ve been deprived of new episodes of I Think You Should Leave for two years. A lot has changed since then! Shit receipt stainer Steven Yeun is an Oscar nominee. The hot dog costume guy has become a political meme that’s been severely overused on Twitter. Paul still has no good car ideas, though. But we’ll soon get a…
Even when they weren’t facing the mortal perils inherent to trekking across a vast, mysterious landscape filled with fantastical creatures, rival armies, and roving bands of flesh-eating goblins, The Lord Of The Rings’ Fellowship still had to endure the need to make small talk during the many, many hours of downtime…
China managed two impressive feats last week: First, they successfully launched the first module of the nation’s new, badass-named Tiangong (“Celestial Palace”) space station aboard its Long March 5B rocket, marking a major milestone in human spacefaring for the country. Second, they accidentally sent a 30-meter-tall…
But there’s another major factor bringing pop-punk back, and it’s causing a lot of change in the music industry. TikTok has been revitalizing hits from the 2000s and 2010s – many of them scene staples like 3OH!3’s “DONTTRUSTME”, Paramore’s “All I Wanted”, and All Time Low’s “Dear Maria, Count Me In”. It’s also bolstered newer songs, like “I Miss Having Sex but at Least I Don’t Want to Die Anymore” by pop-punk-adjacent band Waterparks, who didn’t even release the track as a single (and have subsequently signed to hip-hop label 300 Entertainment). YUNGBLUD, whose work combines elements of pop and punk with other genres, frequently collaborates with Machine Gun Kelly and Travis Barker, and his song “parents” went viral on TikTok earlier this year.
Next level: When TikTok can get all those pop-punk bands that should have been huge back in the day a viral hit. Come on, let’s see some Lucky Boys Confusion dance move videos.

There are few things better than Prince’s guitar solo on “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” from the 2004 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Sure, parents will say, but “what of my baby’s head? Have you smelled it?” Has your baby ever finished one of the greatest solos ever by magically making a guitar vanish…
Amazon Prime Video’s adaptation of Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley’s Invinciblewas kind of a big swing, seeing as how it’s an adult-oriented adaptation of a well-loved comic book, done in the style of the sort of ‘90s superhero cartoons that nobody makes anymore and with a big-name cast, which pretty…
Remember when he was gonna release an album for every state. Lol.
Much like every musical savant in COVID-19 quarantine, Sufjan Stevens has kept busy. Last September, he released an 80-minute-long record, The Ascension. But Stevens hasn’t taken a break since then. On Monday, he teased on Tumblr (his only social media account) that “new holistic music” is coming this week, and today…
