Mikey Day and Ryan Gosling as Beavis and Butt-Head.Screenshot: NBC/YouTube People watch Saturday Night Live to laugh, of course, but there are laughs and then there are sketches that last forever. This past weekend, Ryan Gosling hosted SNL and the episode may have featured one of those all-time sketches. What starts as a discussion of AI then turns into one of the most absurd and random pop culture references imaginable as two audience members who look like the characters fromBeavis and Butt-Head derail the whole thing. If the sketch felt random, well, not only was that by design, it’s because ..read more

Screenshot: Paramount Twenty-six years ago today, Deep Space Nine delivered the knife under its cloaked examination of Star Trek’s morals in wartime with all the delicate precision of a sewing needle: the incredible “In the Pale Moonlight,” not just one of DS9 or Star Trek’s finest hours, but one of the all time greatest episodes of TV ever made. But the finest moment in an already immaculate piece of television is all about the ways to enact violence without lifting a single finger. “In the Pale Moonlight,” framed around a maudlin Captain Sisko recounting recent events in his personal log aft ..read more

We think so—but here’s our spoilery take on what works, and what doesn’t.

Speculation about who will play the fan-favorite character in the latest entry in the popular video game-adapted series has been running high, and now the Hollywood Reporter cites “multiple sources” (and hat-tips t ..read more

Photo: JoJo Whilden/Prime Video Have you finished binging Fallout on Prime Video yet? You need not have played the massively popular games that inspired the series to enjoy its blend of bonkers action, oddball humor, post-apocalyptic retro-futurism, and outrageous violence—but there are plenty of Easter eggs sprinkled throughout for fans of the source material. One example, and this actually may or may not be a game reference: the phone number that flashes on-screen in at the start of episode six, when Walton Goggins’ character Cooper Howard, “star of stage and screen” (also known elsewhere in ..read more

Today Hasbro revealed a brand new wave of figures to debut its special sub-line of Marvel Legends marking Marvel’s 85th anniversary—a mix of standard figures, deluxe-sized bruisers, and two packs, and then one very special bike to add ..read more

Screenshot: Amazon Yes, Josh Brolin’s cowboy hole show is back, and indeed holier than ever—but if our first look at season 2 of the Prime Video series is anything to go by, then the Mystery Hole That Sends You Through Timeseems honestly pretty low on Brolin’s list of things to deal with. Amazon has dropped a new trailer for Outer Range’s second season, which sees Dune star Brolin’s Wyoming rancher Royal Abbott dealing with so much more than the giant mystery hole in his back yard. You know things are going to get esoteric and weird when Josh Brolin starts contemplating the Book of Genesis rig ..read more
