Making my @pastemagazine.bsky.social debut w my review of #GenV Season 2. Chance Perdomo's absence is felt in every moment of S2, and I mean that as a sincere compliment. They deliver a strong sophomore outing (w one exception). And DAMN, Hamish Linklater. www.pastemagazine.com/tv/amazon-pr...

This Fall is going to be full of amazing reads for fantasy fans, so I rounded up a bunch of the biggest titles coming our way in the next few months at @pastemagazine.bsky.social:

Today at @pastemagazine.bsky.social, my list of the most anticipated horror books of the fall is finally here! New stuff from @keithrosson.bsky.social, @haileypiperfights.bsky.social, @almakatsu.bsky.social, @rachelharrison.bsky.social, @momoshaty.bsky.social, @pfracassi.bsky.social, and many more!

Check out my profile of The Daily Show's Michael Kosta, an essential member of the best cast on late night television today. We talked about his on-stage persona, empathy and comedy, and his stellar new memoir, LUCKY LOSER: For @pastemagazine.bsky.social: www.pastemagazine.com/tv/michael-k...

Fall TV is almost upon us and we've got a rundown of 25 new and returning shows you'll want to make sure to put on your calendar.

Halloween Horror Nights is back at Universal Orlando, running select nights now through November 2. We've been through every house, and here are our rankings of all 10, over at our sister site @endlessmode.bsky.social. www.endlessmode.com/article/the-...

Fall TV is almost upon us and we've got a rundown of 25 new and returning shows you'll want to make sure to put on your calendar.

We chat with YA author Maggie Stiefvater about the new graphic novel version of her iconic novel #TheRavenBoys, her adult debut, and lots more.

I loved The Thursday Murder Club -- a delightfully charming cozy mystery with an incredible cast and a confident sense of self. It's not groundbreaking, but it sure is fun. My review at @pastemagazine.bsky.social:

Our new roving roundup makes it a little easier to find good writing on the internet.

For our latest The MVP column, we look at the sudden genre rise of Jacob Anderson, who's playing a key role in some of TV's biggest and most successful recent sci-fi and fantasy properties.

New at @pastemagazine.bsky.social, my review of @isabelcanas.bsky.social's THE POSSESSION OF ALBA DIAZ, a sumptuous piece of historical fiction with a great horror hook. www.pastemagazine.com/books/isabel...

I wrote about seeing Oasis, the unexpected magic of this reunion, and the gift of such vast communal joy on this tour right when we all need it most (alongside a setlist that’s banging as hell). @pastemagazine.bsky.social

The very fun Devo doc on Netflix gets at a lot of what I find fascinating about art in the 80s - its anger, its wit, and its contradictions. More at @pastemagazine.bsky.social:

New @pastemagazine.bsky.social #TOONIN Aug includes an exclusive #SausageParty S2 clip; KingoftheHill EP Saladin Patterson; @raphaelbob.bsky.social on @netflix.com's #LongStoryShort; Craig Schulz & dir. Erik Weise on their AppleTV+ #SnoopyPresentsASummerMusical www.pastemagazine.com/tv/animation...

In our latest #TVRewind column, we look back on Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp, the rare comedy revival that truly earned its comeback.

#Outlander prequel #BloodofMyBlood may technically be targeted like a laser at me specifically, but it's also an achingly romantic, thoughtfully built period drama that speaks to old fans and new viewers alike. My review at @pastemagazine.bsky.social:

I find hope in very odd places, including the static calamity of The Armed's new record, THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED, which I reviewed for @pastemagazine.bsky.social. You know what? I don't disagree.

#AlienEarth is more than Noah Hawley's splashy new exercise in IP management and franchise expansion; the series blazes its own path and wrestles with complicated questions of identity, morality, and control.

Alicia Silverstone's new crime drama #IrishBlood arrives on Acorn TV next week, and we've got an exclusive first clip from the premiere:

I chatted with #TheSandman showrunner Allan Heinberg about Dream's journey in the series' final episodes, filming that emotional ending, how generally terrific Tom Sturridge is, and more. @pastemagazine.bsky.social

In Season 2, #TwistedMetal has become distinctly more comfortable in its own skin, fully embracing a bonkers, go-for-broke attitude that knows exactly what kind of show it wants to be. Our review:

Get your first look at the (gorgeous!) cover of Addie Thorley's forthcoming romantasy Burn the Kingdom Down --- and a sneak peek at the story as well!

#TheNakedGun isn't another lifeless reboot; Liam Neeson and Akiva Schaffer have made the funniest spoof movie in years.

It's my latest from @pastemagazine.bsky.social. Every month, I'm revisiting another all-timer of a movie fight scene. I decided it was time to highlight a Jackie Chan movie. Drunken Master 2 was the last time Jackie was a niche interest, and its final duel rips. www.pastemagazine.com/movies/jacki...

Hi. Follow our games site @endlessmode.bsky.social and its writers and editors.

I wrote about the ending of Netflix's #TheSandman, which is definitely the sort of adaptation that is more about the spirit than the precise letter of its source material, but is absolutely gorgeous all the same. @pastemagazine.bsky.social

New at @pastemagazine.bsky.social, my review of @casskhaw.bsky.social's excellent THE LIBRARY AT HELLEBORE, a powerhouse of gory poetry and boundless horror imagination. Out now! www.pastemagazine.com/books/cassan...

Hulu's #WashingtonBlack is an adaptation of the award-winning novel that explores complex themes in a very Sterling K. Brown kind of way (for both good and ill).

The sole subject of my late night column @pastemagazine.bsky.social: the cancellation of Stephen Colbert and the house that David Letterman built. www.pastemagazine.com/tv/the-late-...

Netflix's #TheHuntingWives is top-tier summer escapism: a soapy, scandalous thriller that knows exactly what sort of show it wants to be and has a great time doing the absolute most. My review at @pastemagazine.bsky.social:

I'm revisiting Marvel's entire streaming catalog in my ongoing feature Streaming Marvel for @pastemagazine.bsky.social, and this month it's the one that started it all: #WandaVision. www.pastemagazine.com/tv/streaming...

We're a little past SPECIES' 30th anniversary, but: for you all, because I care, I exposed myself to the manosphere for this read on the film as the embodiment of that network's worst nightmares, for @pastemagazine.bsky.social.

Eric Bana broods handsomely in wilderness thriller #Untamed, a six-part limited series whose extraordinary setting stands out against its fairly pedestrian plot.

This week, our #ItStillStings column looks back on the all-too-swift and deeply unfortunate cancellation of Dead Boy Detectives.

The final installment of Hannah Whitten's popular fantasy trilogy, The Nightshade God is a chaotic conclusion with a fully satisfying ending.

profiled tamino, one of my longtime favorite artists, for @pastemagazine.bsky.social 🤍 www.pastemagazine.com/music/tamino...

The rise of "Old Man Yaoi" is slowly changing the landscape of queer representation on TV and giving older queer men the spotlight they deserve.

From our new sister site @endlessmode.bsky.social: Since his arcade debut, Donkey Kong has been everything: villain, hero, destroyer, protector. He fills whatever role Nintendo needs him to. Marc Normandin looks at how Donkey Kong became Nintendo's supersub. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

Our picks for the best fantasy books of July are here, featuring everything from buzzy debuts and highly anticipated sequels to new stories from established faves.

For @pastemagazine.bsky.social, I wrote about the new Superman, starring Philadelphia's own David Corenswet, which feels weighed down by financial expectations enforcing a bloated plot www.pastemagazine.com/movies/super...

Lena Dunham grows up (for both good and ill) in the new Netflix romantic comedy #TooMuch, an uneven but mostly enjoyable trope-fest.

Looking for great, new animation to watch in July? My @pastemagazine.bsky.social #TOONIN column is up with @crunchyroll.com & @netflixanime.bsky.social; #Digman S2 EP Neil Campbell teases S2 + #Gumball creator Ben Bocquelet takes Elmore to Hulu this month! www.pastemagazine.com/tv/animation...

As we round into the back half of 2025, we take a look back at the best (and worst) of late night TV so far this year:

For @pastemagazine.bsky.social, I spoke with Katherine Jakeways, Beth Willis, Joe Innes, and Christina Hendricks about the most delightful part of #TheBuccaneers Season 2 --- the fact that a show marketed for its youthful exuberance still makes so much space for the mature women in its cast.
