Doctor Strange opens in theaters in two weeks, on Nov. 4. But after that, it will be six months before Marvel movie magic graces the big screen again. (Yes, Logan will be released on March 4.

Who doesn’t love a little corporate synergy? OK, maybe no one except the executives and producers who push for placements and crossovers across a conglomerate’s various properties.

Westworld started off its first season with two episodes that were mostly filled with introductions. While the first two episodes were strong, the third one blew both out of the water. After getting most of the “world building” and introductions out of the way in the first two episodes, Westworld was able to jump right […]

Helped by a presidential campaign that has at times seemed like a comedy sketch, and two hosts (Margot Robbie and Lin-Manuel Miranda) with rabid fan bases, Saturday Night Live is off to its best start, ratings-wise, in nearly a decade. The first two episodes of season 42 might also be two of the better ones […]

Hugh Jackman’s final appearance as Wolverine is setting up to be a doozy. As announced last week by Jackman and director James Mangold, the third standalone Wolverine film will be titled Logan.

One of the intriguing questions regarding HBO’s Westworld is what this series is really about. The show can be about more than one thing, of course. And truly great television often is. After two episodes, it’s quite apparent that the series will explore many themes and storylines, which is surely a significant reason why showrunners […]

Two of New York City’s biggest cultural institutions, Saturday Night Live and Broadway, have occasionally crossed paths over the course of SNL’s 42 seasons.

If you’re a fan of Key & Peele, you know that the duo could get pretty dark with some of their sketches. That was especially true in season four. “Make-A-Wish” is a darker skit that comes to mind, along with “Aerobics Meltdown.” With that kind of talent for finding the creepy in comedy, it probably […]
