Never ever going to get tired of writing about the Oasis reunion, which is maybe the only categorically good thing we can say that 2025 has given us --- and a timely reminder that love, forgiveness, and rock and roll can maybe still fix the world. @pastemagazine.bsky.social

The @nytimes.com asked me to write about the 20th anniversary (??!) of Twilight, and to recommend some books that have published since then that Twilight folks might love. Oh, this was SO FUN.

So #ChadPowers is fairly dumb TV, but Glenn Powell is excellent and it made me laugh a lot, so that's kind of everything I needed from it, honestly. My review at @pastemagazine.bsky.social:

The current vibe.

Matthew Lewis and Amanda Redman are great together in Acorn TV's newest cozy crime drama #MurderBeforeEvensong, a mystery series where the murder is the least interesting part of the story. My review at @pastemagazine.bsky.social:

David Tennant and Billie Piper at L.A. Comic Con 2025! Studio Chat was there to cover the full panel, which was hosted by Tiffany Babb. David Tennant and Billie Piper discussed some of their favorite #DoctorWho memories, answered fan questions, and more! youtu.be/V_qAcAFHXx8?...

Why not just ask people for permission? Oh what’s that? You don’t think enough people would consent? So you’re just going to steal their livelihoods to get rich and hope they never notice?

Oasis announce 25th anniversary editions of their iconic live album ‘Familiar To Millions’

SCOOP / UPDATE — Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancelations during the period 9/17-9/23, a Disney source confirms to me. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

Apparently, we’re all putting our lives in the hands of one particular rock and roll band, and the Oasis reunion is proof that a little bit of love, forgiveness, and rock and roll can still fix the world.

Hollywood star Matthew Rhys is returning to the Welsh stage this November for the first time in two decades in an acclaimed one-man play about Richard Burton to raise funds for Michael Sheen’s new Welsh National Theatre

Collecting official photos of the Gallagher brothers hugging like Infinity Stones at this point. 🤍

I don’t need a bunch of 25-year-old dudes coming into my digital house and calling me a sexual deviant for liking what I like. www.jezebel.com/ban-men-read...

Idk maybe it’s cool that seven people own all the mainstream news 🫠

ICYMI: Michael Sheen on BBC Radio 4 Desert Island Discs earlier today www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

For our TV Rewind column at @pastemagazine.bsky.social I wrote about #TheBorgias, which broke all sorts of TV boundaries by finally going *there* with historical siblings Cesare and Lucrezia.

Liam Gallagher said “see you next year” at Wembley last night and I’m going to use this not even remotely official confirmation of Oasis 2026 to get me through the rest of this year.

From new releases from big-name authors to buzzy debuts and long-awaited sequels, Fall 2025 is full of exciting new titles for YA readers.

😭😭😭

companies programmed us to refer to art, music, video, and writing as "content" to make it seem like it comes from the website and not from a person who had to think of it and make it

I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...

Toni Collette wants you to join her cult in the twisty, entertaining, and somewhat uneven new Netflix thriller #Wayward.

Oasis share new unplugged version of ‘Morning Glory’

Sinclair has said it will once again air JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!, and Nexstar likely will, too. But the last 10 days have shown why we are overdue for a massive reset in the network-affiliation relationship--or maybe the end of affiliates. Up now at @vulture.com www.vulture.com/article/jimm...

I really enjoyed #HouseofGuinness, Steven Knight's full-throttle, Succession-coded reimagining of the infamous Irish beer dynasty that's got punk rock vibes and surprisingly excellent female characters. My review at @pastemagazine.bsky.social:

deepest of deep breaths feeling nervous about this one, friends! I've written about the mainstreaming of pull-to-publish, its impact on fandom, and what it means for an increasingly corporate and IP-driven creative landscape.

There are like three musical artists that I will pay Ticketmaster platinum ticket prices for and I regret to inform Sarah McLachlan that much as I love her, she is not one of them.

@lacymb.bsky.social your time has come.

Lovely, longform conversation about Death at the White Hart with @lacymb.bsky.social for @pastemagazine.bsky.social and matters arising https://www.pastemagazine.com/books/chris-chibnall/death-at-the-white-hart-interview

Clocking in at over a thousand pages and full of dark, disturbing imagery, Alchemised is a fantasy that's not for the faint of heart.

Michael Sheen is on the first episode of The Ramesh Ranganathan Show podcast, available now open.spotify.com/episode/1j0m...

Today's soundtrack:

Finally watched the new #Superman and all I can say is Krypto deserves his own movie.

reminder: Jimmy Kimmel is enough of a mensch that he devised a segment on which actors who are just short of having enough work to qualify for union healthcare come on his show and deliver a single line of dialogue deadline.com/2024/07/jimm...

Everytime it feels like this industry must surely have hit bottom, oh no here’s a lower place.

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 week has been a long year. But you know what to do. 😍

This meeting could have been an email. This email could have been a passing fancy. This job could have been a lifetime of wonder.

I got to spend 40 minutes on the phone talking to the one and only David Letterman about his days in morning TV, launching Late Night, his love for Mulaney, why his wife feels the need to explain his jokes, and, yes, CBS's decision to nuke LATE SHOW. Only on @vulture: www.vulture.com/article/davi...
