As much as Mary Neely loved reproducing The Sound of Music song by song for Twitter, there were a couple times she had to step back and question what, exactly, she was doing. Like when she realized, a little too late, that maybe borrowing a $2,
Ramy Youssef is in a situation many auteurs have stumbled into before. When a person creates, writes, and stars in his own show—with his name in the title, to boot—viewers tend to confuse where the fictional character stops and the real person
Television. It’s a pandemic. OK, maybe that’s a little crass in light of things, or is at least a bit of a false equivalency. But it could be fair to say that television has become...annoying? Stressful? A nuisance? It is wild to think about ho
If Nanette was Hannah Gadsby’s attempt to, as the Tasmanain comedian put it in the show itself, “tell her story properly,” her new set, Douglas, finds her processing its aftereffects—and expanding it even further. It’s also, perhaps, her best t
A relative of neither the repulsively crass Dirty Grandpa nor the inappropriately goofy Bad Grandpa, director Sasie Sealy’s Lucky Grandma (now available on VOD) is an alternately salty and sweet tale of a strong, silent widow who, through provi
On the one hand, we knew everyone in quarantine was spending more time than usual watching footage of men ejaculate. (Studies have shown!) We just didn’t think that it would be happening in primetime on Fox.
After the crime writer Michelle McNamara died of an accidental drug overdose four years ago, her husband Patton Oswalt worked through his grief to get her definitive book on the man known as the “Golden State Killer” to print. I’ll Be Gone in t
Jamie Lynn Spears has officially returned to television. After more than a decade away from the small screen since her Nickelodeon series Zoey 101 wrapped in 2008, Spears has taken a special guest role in Netflix’s Sweet Magnolias. The romantic
What’s immediately striking is the tone of his voice. No “Hey, What-the-fuckers!” No “How’s everybody doing?” No jangly guitar theme song. Just a halting, “Hey, OK, it’s Marc.
Even from the first flourish of cheerful music, it’s clear that The Big Flower Fight, Netflix’s new garden sculpture competition series, is out to eat The Great British Bake Off’s lunch. But rather than vying for a handshake from Paul Hollywood
Nicholas Hoult knows exactly how to use his face. Gifted with a boyishly beautiful mug—bright blue eyes, high cheekbones, pouty lips, brows for days—the English actor has mastered the art of making you either want to hold it in your hands or pu
Catherine the Great did not fuck a horse. That is the official position of The Great, Hulu’s zany period piece chronicling Russia’s longest-ruling female as she first arrives in the country and enters a loveless marriage to Emperor Peter III, t
In early March, when it became clear that the wrath of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States was going to be widespread and unforgiving, a disturbing, if unsurprising report came out: Wealthy Americans were apparently contacting their d
It is perhaps the most miserable day yet. They’ve all been vaguely miserable, but this one, coming when it’s started to seem pointless to even tally the days of quarantine anymore, seems particularly bleak. The wind is so loud you can hear it i
Daniel Radcliffe sits across from me in a staging area for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’s interactive special, Kimmy vs. The Reverend. He’s wearing a scraggly (fake) beard and murmuring, so as not to disturb the filming taking place on the other s
The new HBO series I Know This Much Is True is excellent. It’s also incredibly depressing. As in relentlessly, viscerally depressing. Right now, in these times, with the lot of us passing the time staring grimly out the window yearning for a wi
When Larry Wilmore welcomed controversial right-wing commentator Ben Shapiro on his podcast last year, his fans revolted. The former host of The Nightly Show wasn’t phased. “I’m like, whatever everybody, calm down,” Wilmore says on this week’s
To those of us isolated and claustrophobic in 500 square foot apartments, be grateful: at least we’re not stuck on Justin Bieber’s boat. As if we weren’t already suffering enough, the singer and his wife Hailey (née Baldwin) have offered viewer
The upcoming Michelle Obama book-tour documentary, Becoming, presents a point of confirmation about what we might expect from the Obamas’ post-White House project. Namely, that it is primed to inspire individuals to integrate themselves into th
In this present moment of intense national (and global) stress, there’s nothing quite as cathartic as a simultaneously wrenching and heartening cry. In that regard, Rewind delivers in spades. Sasha Neulinger’s documentary is as affecting as the
Does anyone actually want TV shows and movies to tackle life under coronavirus quarantine? Parks and Recreation’s one-time reunion special proved Thursday night that there may be exactly one case when the answer to that question is yes. And thi
“While we’re all trying to do the most to stay sane during the pandemic, the president is doing literally the least,” Samantha Bee says at the top of her latest episode of Full Frontal from the woods behind her house. In this exclusive clip fro
One perk of being a man in Hollywood? Apparently it means you can walk off the job for over a week and blame a “thyroid issue.” At least, that’s what Olivia Munn says Bryan Singer did while working on 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse. “I never shot a h
Paul Mescal didn’t think he’d be talking this much about his penis. Well, he knew he would be talking about it some. The nudity and the sex scenes in Normal People would be of natural interest to people. They’re integral to the new Hulu series
To understand how a cult operates, one need look no further than the nightly news, where a charismatic strongman messiah preaches to his acolytes that he’s the only bulwark against a conspiratorial evil enemy, and then convinces them to behave
