While watching the video for Adele’s new single, “Hello,” how many of you thought of Lionel Richie’s 1983 song with the same title? It’s an easy connection to make, and maybe even an easier joke to crack, but at least someone took the time to create a mash-up of the two videos — even if […]

Supergirl premieres Monday night on CBS and seems to arrive at just the right point in current pop culture. Superhero movies and TV shows are obviously a phenomenon right now, dominating the Hollywood blockbuster landscape (which has led to some grousing among those who feel more original material or the “middle class” of films are being […]

About midway through watching Steve Jobs, I asked myself if I really liked this movie. That’s not something which typically happens for me, and I imagine the same is true for you. A good or great movie pulls you in and you’re not thinking about whether or not you like it, because you’re already enjoying it. A […]

Netflix and Marvel have been consistently churning out teaser videos and images from its upcoming series, Jessica Jones. Given the almost entirely unknown profile of the character (except to those who read the comic book series, Alias, upon which this show is based), that seemed like a smart marketing strategy. Let people know that this […]

Nostalgia has fed audience cravings as people want to spend more time with the characters they’ve grown to love, even at the risk of altering the trajectory of the shows they cherish. It’s […]

Drake has been the spirited quarterback of popular music for quite some time. While his contemporary Kendrick Lamar carves poetic justice into America’s poplar trees, and his elder statesman Kanye West adds volume to his endless cultural domain, Drake’s prolific production has permanently altered the sound of the time. His antepenultimate project Nothing Was The Same made him equal parts international […]

Even if you watch Saturday Night Live until the very end of each episode and watch the closing credits roll up the screen, you might not notice certain changes unless you’re really looking closely. Splitsider’s Megh Wright was one of those people with a discerning eye, catching this not-unimportant change to the SNL writing staff […]

As a nation Monday night, our reward for sitting through two quarters of the New York Giants-Philadelphia Eagles Monday Night Football game was the promised new trailer (kept under lock and key before it debuted, from what we hear) for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. You’ve probably already seen it (multiple times) and bought your […]

Just in time for the League Championship Series round of the MLB postseason, a video has been making the rounds from Japan that must be seen to be believed. A samurai licing a 100 mph baseball in half with a samurai sword? Yes, this happened. Oh, and swordsman Isao Machii was standing 30 feet away from the pitching […]

I always come late to the party. Seriously. I came into Breaking Bad in its third season, Battlestar Galactica during that series’ third season, and Arrested Development in its second. Which means I wasn’t around to witness the birth of a television show which would shape so much of my early twenties. October 4, 1990 was […]

Depending on which generation you belong to (and whether you’re male or female, most likely), this week’s news that Playboy magazine will stop running nude photos in its pages was received with either a shrug or a gasp. If you’re over the age of — let’s say 35, but it’s probably closer to 40 — […]
