Good show. www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

Impossible to overstate how much Shea Whigham Shea Whighams in this. Top-tier entertainment. www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

I was amped after the first episode of "All Her Fault" — Sarah Snook and Dakota Fanning teaming up in a trash TV mystery to expose the perverse laziness of disconnected dads? hell yes! — but then it... kept going. And going. And yawn. www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

As the cold reality of Cuomo’s defeat sets in, this is a moment for centrists to ask themselves: Have we lost touch with the common voter? Get out and spend time in the tattoo parlors and dispensaries. The drag shows, community gardens and outsider art galleries where Real New Yorkers congregate

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

October turned out to be a pretty great month for TV, from exciting series premieres (🪑) to standout new episodes (🍔) — and a few random gems scattered throughout (🧢). A little roundup: www.indiewire.com/gallery/best...

Bonus good thing: Walter Mosley wrote last night’s episode and graciously agreed to talk about it. www.indiewire.com/features/int...

When I say “Welcome to Derry” is way sillier than it is scary, just know I’m generally a big ‘fraidy cat. And when I complain that Pennywise isn’t around much, you should also know I hate clowns. www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

Really loved Rebecca Miller’s Martin Scorsese documentary, “Mr. Scorsese” — which, among other highlights, features a plainly uncomfortable Leonardo DiCaprio saying the words “a woman’s buttocks” while breaking down the opening shot of “The Wolf of Wall Street.” www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

They ruined Google search for nothing

I didn’t write much about the performances in “Monster” Season 3, in part because they’re the least of its problems and in part because of this. (And, as always, because I’d already written 1000+ words.)

This should be a regime ending moment.

Appreciate @katerbland.bsky.social including my (deranged) take in this, considering I clearly didn't understand the assignment. www.indiewire.com/features/gen...

Wrote about good people doing good things amid bad times, and how nice it feels, even for a night, when resistance is rewarded rather than punished. www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

NEW: JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE is not dead. Up now at @vulture.com www.vulture.com/article/jimm...

Still thinking about this one. www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

Not to excuse Disney's actions -- which are an unconscionable capitulation and an abandonment of first amendment principles -- but I think people just genuinely do not understand how much power affiliates wield in the broadcast TV game. Still! To this day!

TCA condemns ABC and Disney’s capitulation to the government’s demands of censorship.

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

For those of you watching "Alien: Earth" — and especially if you also read Noah Hawley's last book, "Anthem" — a long talk about kids! www.indiewire.com/features/int...

After three seasons of batshit nonsense, Season 4 commits "The Morning Show's" last indefensible sin: It's a snoozefest! 🥱 🛌

OK, not even getting into the ethics or the existential issues around AI: Have some goddamn self-respect. If you're a writer and you do this I don't know how you look at yourself, but I know exactly how I look at you.

Reading Alan is as essential as it gets if you want to know what’s going on in television and the culture at large. That he’s also a pleasure to read is like a nice little favor he does for everyone, so let’s not take it for granted, OK? Subscribe —> alansepinwall.ghost.io/dont-stop-be...

Hoping Larry David is planning a new "Curb" episode to get back at Ted Danson for this.

Anthony Rizzo not only sitting in the Wrigley Field bleachers but heckling his old teammate (Ian Happ), taking photos and having beers with the fans — his statue can’t be big enough. #AnthonyRizzoForever

Matty cooking up a third season of “Perry Mason” any way he can.🤞 variety.com/2025/tv/news...

So good I wondered for a second if Bertha was wrong, actually.

“None of this is thought out,” Robinson tells Vulture. “It’s not planned. It’s not on purpose.” "The Chair Company" premieres Sunday, October 12 at 10pm ET. First look --> www.vulture.com/article/tim-...

Given the raw, aching emotions of its central duo, “Task” can feel like a big ask. But it’s so graceful, so compassionate, so enriching in how it explores their lives, it’s more than worth it in the end. Also, Thuso Mbedu is a no-bullshit sharpshooter. Hell yeah. www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

Deliver Me from Nowhere works as a spare character study of a depressed rock god on the cusp of superstardom, falls flat whenever it tries to flesh that out with biopic trappings. i'll take it over the Dylan one any day. my review: www.indiewire.com/criticism/mo...

Spike Lee's 3rd Katrina documentary sees him wrestling with what this country has become in the 20 years since the levees broke. It's a curious, cagey little update — just one episode in a three-part series, amid a slew of other anniversary docs — and better for it. www.indiewire.com/criticism/sh...

Had the amazing opportunity to speak to the PEACEMAKER choreographer, Charissa Barton, for @vulture.com and explore the changes in season 2’s opening. James Gunn was the Eagly stand-in on set! www.vulture.com/article/peac...

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
