All season long I’ve been positing that Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy, and the writers’ room at Westworld were both rebooting and rehashing the thematic and storytelling threads of season one. Visually, we saw this every time “Christina” (Evan Rachel Wood) woke up, an echo of the way we first
CODA’s Troy Kotsur recently had his Jeep stolen in Mesa, Arizona (Jeep people will know that nothing ever happens to a Jeep owner’s “car,” it’s always specifically their Jeep), and while that was probably very frustrating, what was probably more frustrating was what got stolen alongside Kotsur’s Jeep: No, not his

“Too Much Birthday,” the seventh episode of the third season of HBO’s hit dramedy Succession, is a brutal thing to watch. Over the course of an hour of TV, we watch the last traces of joy drain out of Jeremy Strong’s Kendall Roy, the euphoria of finally managing to strike back, however briefly, at his tyrannical
A battle-hardened dispatch from the frontlines of the streaming wars: although Hulu’s catalog has been one of the casualties, losing a considerable amount of films to other platforms recently, they’ve also led the field in creating acclaimed, buzzworthy cinema. Look no further than its 2022 slate of originals: Fire
An astonishing 25 seasons after South Park debuted on August 13, 1997, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone continue to satirize hot-button topics and prominent public figures without restraint.
