Nicolas Cage will play Jesus Christ in a horror movie about his biblical childhood, and that’s not even the most exciting casting update this week.

Everyone loved Shōgun, right? What’s not to appreciate about FX’s drama? It’s a rare gem of a book adaptation, beautifully developing the world of James Clavell’s novel while managing to turn it into a unique on-screen experience. In short, it’s a fantastic 10-episode limited series that tells the tale of Japan’s …

There was a time when Charli XCX made huge, chart-topping hits, but she’s spent the last few years cultivating a crew of niche, not-quite-underground figures. Her work throughout the second half of the 2010s with producers A.G. Cook and the late SOPHIE brought her to a new sonic palette that the rest of pop music has…

At this year’s Academy Awards ceremony back in March, Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt (both of them nominees that night) took the stage with a multi-layered agenda. They opened with some gentle teasing about the Barbenheimer rivalry, giving us all some closure on the biggest moviegoing phenomenon of the previous year.…

Just in time for another miserable election cycle, Amazon has arrived with a healthy slice of escapism. Yeah, we know that’s an oxymoron, but be honest—wouldn’t you rather check in on a White House run by Uma Thurman and her god-awful Southern accent than whatever we end up with in November? This writer certainly…

Megan Thee Stallion’s latest video proves that Kristen Wiig was right all along—being Jumanji’d is a real and present threat and we should all be way more concerned about it. Also, Jumanji-ing obviously means the characters come out of the game to kill you rather than you going in; none of that Jack Black/The Rock…

Summer can bring about more than just a certain mood evoked by warmer weather. Perhaps more than other seasons, it can bring up specific memories. For some, summer feels like adolescence, mountain bikes, chalk on the driveway, and trying to stave off the boredom after you’ve been ordered outside for the day. For…

Every frequent Grey’s Anatomy viewer remembers the first time the show made them cry. For legacy fans™ of 20 iconic seasons, including yours truly, the above image alone is quite triggering (RIP, MAGIC. If you know, you know).

Chris Pine’s directorial debut, Poolman, has not been having a good time with critics. The film has, in fact, been panned about as hard as a movie can be, both during its debut last year at the Toronto International Film Festival, and then again this month, when it began getting screened to a wider group of viewers.…

In news that simultaneously caused every single person you know who owns a bow tie to sit up and pay terrible, exuberant notice, Netflix revealed today that it’s working on a reality show based around Willy Wonka. This, despite the fact that the the last time Wonka attempted to intrude into our reality, it went so…

You know how, in cop shows, detectives are always getting threatened with being busted back down to foot patrol or whatever—a demotion to a world of decreased relevance, lower pay, and less chance at anyone actually seeing anything they do? Well, NBC announced tonight that Christopher Meloni’s Law & Order: Organized…

Jerry Seinfeld’s directorial debut Unfrosted is already filled with many of Seinfeld’s various famous friends—all of whom apparently shrugged and said “Eh, it’s Seinfeld, how bad could it be?” when he tapped them to appear in a fictionalized story about the creation of the Pop-Tart. But one notable Seinfeld ally is…

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they are very, very sorry for flattening the whole of human creativity to convince consumers to buy another iPad.

We’re now deep into Fantastic Four casting speculation season, as Marvel continues to fill out the ranks of the upcoming 2025 feature with very big names, typically coming attached to some very big question marks about who they’ll be playing. (There is, for instance, still nobody attached to the part of Doctor Doom,…

Baby Reindeer is a transfixing, vulnerable tale of creator and star Richard Gadd’s real experience with sexual assault and with a stalker pseudonymously referred to as “Martha.” Upon the release of the Netflix series, which was advertised from the jump as a “true story,” Gadd asked viewers not to speculate about the…
