Welcome to our weekly open thread for the discussion of gaming plans, nagging questions, and whatever else we feel like talking about. No matter what the topic, we invite everyone in the comments to tell us: What Are You Playing This Weekend? Matt Gerardi: Well, Derrick, in your review, you told everybody you’d return to update us on how Splatoon […]

Bonsoir, Hannibal. I missed you. “Antipasto” is one of Hannibal‘s more dreamy episodes, playing with temporality and dreamscape in ways that few other shows even attempt. It’s a beautiful episode that answers many questions about Bedelia and Hannibal’s relationship, while bringing up so many more. For a show that ended its last season in a cliffhanger, few of the basic […]

In recent installment of the A.V. Club’s fabulous DVR Club, TV Editor Erik Adams and staff writer Joshua Alston offer a wonderful deconstruct of the first two episodes of this series. And they ask a completely serious and legitimate question: Is Manson too good-looking on this show? The resounding answer is yes. Manson was famous for being able to lure […]

Not only that, but events from the episode “One Of Our Senior Realtors Has Chosen To Retire” seem to […]

As most people know by now, Fifty Shades Of Grey got its start as a piece of Twilight fan-fiction, with author E.L. James transforming that series’ protagonist from a mere blood-sucking stalker into a figure of actual, creepy menace. Given that James, publisher Random House, and the producers of the Fifty Shades movie have all made heaping, chain-festooned yachtfuls of […]

Moving quickly to fill the “rich, immensely talented black guy who people are a little quick to write off as crazy” niche left by the absence of Kanye West, Spike Lee has apparently announced that comedian Dave Chappelle is joining the cast of his musical comedy Chiraq (which may or may not now be called Chi-raq). Lee posted a picture […]

Martin the Human is a despicable being. He’s manipulative, deceitful, unfaithful, and totally delusional, believing that he’s a huge hero despite the fact that he is the complete opposite. All these negative qualities are highlighted in “On The Lam,” Martin’s first solo spotlight episode. Imprisoned on an alien planet where rebel koalas fight for food and medicine from reptilian oppressors, […]
