From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

"'The Comeback' Season 3 is about Valerie Cherish getting her own sitcom... written by A.I.!!!" is a thing I've been dying to shout about for months. March 22 can't get here fast enough. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1rV...

I wouldn't encourage anyone to watch the new "Scrubs" if they weren't already planning on it, but the most interesting part is seeing J.D. — a TV trailblazer for sensitive men in a sea of tough guys — step into a world where he's not the outsider anymore. www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

NBC's latest attempt to make it 1997 again through science and magic is to settle for making it 2007 again with Tracy Morgan and "30 Rock" writers — which works out quite well! Funny show! www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

Um, yes? Absolutely? Let's pick up that pilot order right now? www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/r...

* Do you have an A24 tattoo? * Have you spent $36 on hot dog finger gloves? * Did you cancel plans in order to hit a Marty Supreme pop-up? * Are you the actor Robert Pattinson? if you said yes/otherwise identify as an A24 fan, i would like to talk to you! please email [email protected] thanks!

One the best to ever do it. RIP.

HBO’s “Neighbors” kinda works as a provocative snapshot of American division, but it doesn’t work as a comedy, character study, or anything productive. (And after a few episodes, boy was I in a foul mood.) www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

Loved this! www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

Adult Swim's Primal has a novel approach to bringing a character back to life.

You know the old saying: Catch *one* ICE employee in an underage sex trafficking sting, shame on you. Catch TWO ICE employees in an underage sex trafficking sting, shame on you again you fucking psycho collection of lunatic underage sex traffickers.

Extremely exciting news: We're hiring a full-time film critic to come work with me at The A.V. Club! You probably have an idea if you're qualified for this, but if there's something that's not in the job listing, I'm sure I can answer Qs www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/43...

Fuck these fucking thieves

I wrote about this! Not the jackets (though, there is a hot tip in there about the vibrant Canadian reception, straight from a pal who is in the stadium), but the ceremony itself. More big heads, please. www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

Went on a lil rant about how increasingly annoyed I am by the early release of Super Bowl ads. Give me something to look forward to on Sunday! consequence.net/2026/02/supe...

One time when they knock and open the door at breakfast on The Traitors they should let in the pig in the Richard Nixon mask from I Think You Should Leave

Got a little finicky about how the "Fallout" finale's editing undercut a solid ending, which then got me thinking about the many (wrong) ways TV tries to hold our attention. 🤷‍♂️ www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

Seven years ago yesterday, this ad ran during the Super Bowl.

Some good news: "A Man on the Inside" has been picked up for Season 3! Here's my last review, which gets into why this pseudo-anthology format actually works. www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

"Wonder Man" is quite good, which is shocking on its own. But seven years since his "Watchmen" Emmy win, it's also a fantastic reminder of Yahya Abdul-Mateen's star power. www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

One hateful lawbreaking little worm down, plenty more to go.

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

For "The Pitt" sickos out there — an updating list! www.indiewire.com/lists/the-pi...

The History of Concrete: basically just an 100-minute episode of How to With John Wilson in which he ponders the impermanence of TV shows, rocks, and all living things. loved every minute of it. an obvious early #Sundance2026 standout. my review: www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...

“The Beauty” is just so incredibly *lazy* I couldn’t even enjoy it as maximalist nonsense. Bad vibe, bad time. www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

in the past week more than 400 people have cumulatively donated more than $23,500 to my fundraiser for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund! it would be *amazing* to hit $26,000 by the time the video drops tomorrow 👀 www.gofundme.com/f/david-ehrl...

It is a giant illegal plagiarism machine monetizing all of our intellectual property, & like every tech/finance grift before it, the business model is built on breaking the law & malfeasance. And the rush of university leaders & administrators to embed it in every aspect of our work is shameful.

Kudos to whatever NYT editor made sure these were in the same issue.

this one weird trick will let you make a talk show but not have to pay union rates

Hard to find a bigger treat to freedom of the press than the President openly reminding a powerful journalist, on TV, that the journalist only has his job because of the President, and everyone being so lazily used to this sort of thing they don't even bother to edit it out for propriety's sake.

I guess so! www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

abolish ice is the centrist position, the position moderates will take to appeal to the center

these videos have raised more than $180,000(!) for a variety of urgent causes over the last few years. this year i'm once again supporting the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, whose work is tragically as vital as ever. please consider giving if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/david-ehrl...

Glad the TV gods cleared tonight's schedule — there's truly NOTHING else on — so everyone can enjoy the "Industry" Season 4 premiere together. Good show! www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

Some nights you just need to sit in a theater filled with people who erupt in applause when Ken Leung appears onscreen. #Industry

The clock is ticking in “The Pitt” Season 2 — and not just on the wall of the E.R. (er, I mean, E.D.) Here’s my review of the subtle heightening of a drama built on urgency: www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

ICE shot and killed someone in south Minneapolis

"Stranger Things" ended almost exactly as expected, which honestly wasn't the worst way to go. My spoiler-y review: www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

Everyone hearing this news will have the same one-word reaction. Might be sad, might be pissed, might be a dozen different feelings, but they’ll use that single word to express themselves, just like he could. A great, special actor.

Started crying before the opening title hit, so this take may be a tad simplistic but it’s still worth unpacking, I think. “Pluribus”! Good show! www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...
