Game of Thrones Ends Its Emmys Run as the Best Drama on Television But Not Much Else

It was a complicated night for Game of Thrones. The eighth and final season may have taken home the award for Best Drama at the 2019 Emmy Awards, as well as quite a few technical wins last week but it got snubbed elsewhere. All in all, the series has ended its reign on a divisive…

The Newest Frozen Sequel Trailer Is Enchanting and Dangerous

Elsa and Anna’s world is getting a whole lot bigger, more beautiful, and a bit more terrifying, as the latest trailer for Frozen II introduces the magic that lies beyond Arendelle.

“Is that still happening?” you ask. We, uh, we think so? Indiana Jones 5, which was initially slated for next year before being pushed back to 2021, is a movie that may or may not be happening, that we’ve had precious little news come out of even though all the principal players—Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg—insist…

The Story Behind That Delightful Ad Astra Cameo

Ad Astra is a thoughtful movie, a cosmic Heart of Darkness featuring Brad Pitt as a quiet and calm astronaut searching for his father. Serious business, in other words.

This Batman Day, I Have to Admit My Favorite Batman Isn’t Bruce Wayne

He’s not even my second favorite, either. Okay, so, yeah, Batman Day is a made-up holiday, but it still has me pondering. And, honestly, I’m just not that excited by Bruce Wayne.

In the Tall Grass Is a Peculiar and Gross Addition to Stephen King’s Horror Pantheon

When Stephen King makes cars, animals, housekeepers, diseases, or clowns scary, it somehow all makes sense. Those things can actually be scary. But grass? Grass isn’t scary, right? Wrong. In the Tall Grass, written and directed Vincenzo Natali, is based on a 2012 novella by King and his son, Joe Hill. It’s the story of…

PSA: Into the Spider-Verse‘s Full Spider-Ham Short Is Now Online

Listen, if you don’t love John Mulaney as Spider-Ham, then you and I will just never see eye-to-eye as people. It’s a perfect, goofy performance, all Looney Tunes and slapstick, an homage to old animation and also to one of the silliest iterations of Spider-Man. (Though maybe not as silly as the one where he’s…
