You Need to Watch SNL’s Instant Classic Digital Short Grouch

Sometimes you just know it immediately when Saturday Night Live has pulled off an instant classic. On this past Saturday night’s episode, host David Harbour became Grouch in a pitch-perfect parody of Todd Phillips’ Joker. It was the kind of video that highlights some of SNL‘s most potent strengths, which includes taking some hugely popular or talked about piece of the zeitgeist and distilling it down to its most absurd elements.

Zombieland: Double Tap Early Reactions Hype Hilarious Return to Zombie-Killing Form

We were pretty excited when we heard the gang is back for some fresh, and most importantly funny, zombie-killing antics. We were especially tickled when the first trailer revealed that our favorite zombie-slayers have been spending their downtime at the White House.

Screenwriter Scott Z. Burns & Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist Jake Bernstein on The Laundromat

Steven Soderbergh’s new film The Laundromat boasts a stellar cast. Meryl Streep, Antonio Banderas, Jeffrey Wright, and Gary Oldman are all part of Soderbergh’s latest, which is currently streaming on Netflix.

Longtime Soderbergh collaborator and screenwriter Scott Z.

Go Behind-the-Scenes of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

For Breaking Bad fans, finding out about El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie was like hearing from a long lost friend you had assumed was gone for good. Vince Gilligan’s twitchy, tumultuous five-season series was about as perfect as any show has any right to be. It is rightfully considered one of the best shows of the century, period. It left us with Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) gleefully,

It’s David Harbour Versus a Peacock in SNL Promo

We’ve already been enjoying the 45th season of Saturday Night Live, which started off the year with two great hosts; Woody Harrelson and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

While the fate of his Stranger Things character Jim Hopper is a big unknown at the moment,

It’s Road Trip Time in the First Official Trailer for Pixar’s Onward

They were last seen together battling side-by-side in both outer space and upstate New York in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, but now Chris Pratt and Tom Holland have an entirely different kind of epic quest to take on.

Alicia Vikander is a Haunted Ex-Pat in First Earthquake Bird Trailer

Well here’s a delicious-looking new thriller. Netflix has just released the first look at writer/director Wash Westmoreland’s Earthquake Bird (produced by Ridley Scott, no less). The film is based on Susanna Jones’ novel and stars Alicia Vikander as Lucy Fly, an ex-pat living in Tokyo in 1989 who gets involved with a photographer named Teji (Naoki Kobayashi).

Jamie Lee Curtis Reveals First Look at Laurie Strode in Halloween Kills

There are few horror film characters more indomitable than Laurie Strode. As embodied by Jamie Lee Curtis, Strode has seen a shocking amount of carnage and horror thanks to that lumbering super-killer Michael Myers. Over the years, she’s become Michael’s main obsession and pluckiest adversary. Now we’ve got our first look at Curtis as Strode in this new image from Halloween Kills. Curtis shared this shot of herself on the set of the sequel to last year’s smash hit Halloween reboot.

Fans of George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road, Alexander Payne’s Election, iconic 1980s flick Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and pop music, in general, are going to find something they like in Daybreak. Netflix has gotten good—very good—at creating series based on teenagers en extremis. The Society, 13 Reasons Why and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before are well well-crafted and wildly different. 

Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman Getting Historic Broadway Screening

If any director was going to see his film be the first-ever to play at the historic Belsaco Theater on Broadway in New York, it would have to be Martin Scorsese. The legendary auteur’s upcoming (and highly touted) The Irishman will be the first film to play in the Belasco’s 112-year history.

Let’s Talk About Joker‘s Wild Batman Connection

*Obviously, major Joker spoilers below.

So you’ve seen Joker. Good, then this story is for you. Writer/director Todd Phillips (he co-wrote the script with Scott Silver) and Joaquin Phoenix delivered on their promise that Joker wouldn’t be like any previous superhero film. True enough. In nearly every conceivable way, Joker defied the conventions of the comic book movie and set itself apart narratively, stylistically, and emotionally.

Raising Dion Showrunner Carol Barbee on Netflix’s Singular Superhero Show

On film or television, there has never been a superhero origin story with a focus on the superhero’s mom. That changes with the new Netflix show Raising Dion, which is based on a 2015 comic book of the same name by Dennis Liu. The show features Alisha Wainwright as Nicole Reese, a young widow raising 8-year-old Dion (Ja’Siah Young), who begins to exhibit superhuman abilities. Michael B. Jordan plays her late husband Mark,

Joker Composer Hildur Guðnadóttir on Creating a “Wordless Dialogue”

A female composer being hired for a studio film is a rarity, with 94 percent of the 250 films released in the US in 2018 scored by men. It is to his credit that director Todd Philips hired Icelandic cellist and composer Hildur Guðnadóttir to create the score for Joker. It offers a welcome challenge to the statistics, and also has proven to be a brilliant move on his part. Guðnadóttir just won an Emmy for Chernobyl,
