If late-night TV hosts were in the mob, Jimmy Fallon would 100 percent be the snitch.

Oof

My review of the movie of the year (and even that might be an understatement) Paul Thomas Anderson's ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER dropped at @pajiba.com today. To say I liked it would be a bit of an understatement #onebattleafteranother

Jimmy Kimmel Was Both Defiant and Conciliatory in His Return

Are we sure this is not a paid advertorial for The Rock? “Johnson listens hard, strenuously, athletically — as if he is squatting the weight of your answer with the bulging quads of his soul."

Of course I wrote about the Rapture

Here's how I know a recession is looming: Someone came in the dead of the night and stole not one, not two, but EVERY SINGLE APPLE from our apple tree. Picked it bare. I don't know if we should call the Apple Cops or just quietly respect the hustle.

"history is also going to remember the cowards who definitely knew better but still let things happen—whether it was for money, convenience, or just comfort. Use ... the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away: F**k you. Make me.”" www.pajiba.com/news/john-ol...

Also, on @pajiba.com , I waxed poetic on how Margot Robbie's one-scene performance in Asteroid City is one of the best Wes Anderson movie performances ever! www.pajiba.com/film_reviews...

Colbert, Meyers, Stewart and the Last Stand of Late Night

Fuck yeah Letterman

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

It's a good thing that Dave Portnoy has never said anything a ton of people found rude, dumb, or offensive in real time or mocked the memory of a dead man. I guess Dave is woke now.

Cancel your Disney+/ESPN subscriptions tonight. Even if you ultimately restart them because your favorite NFL team is on MNF or because your kid can't live without Encanto. Cancel it anyway because it's the only thing they'll listen to, and you may just find that you didn't need it anyway.

A refresher as we wait for next week’s season finale of #AlienEarth

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score. I know I should feel immense shame. It's not cool bad. Or even memorable. Even the masses disliked it! It's rotten as hell and deserves it and I still can't help myself.

Where Are Bari Weiss and the Free Speech Warriors Now?

And what about every single politician, celebrity, and late-night host that Greg Gutfeld "jokes" about every night? Are they "targets," too? Or does it only count if it's a cartoon?

Gross.

What we hope is that history looks back on this dark era as an aberration. What we fear is that we are so warped by this era that history ultimately sees the era of progress that came before it as the aberration.

My review of THE HISTORY OF SOUND just dropped y'all. And what an absolutely lovely film it is.

i understand that our attention is divided as a nation but i do need everyone to know that henry winkler is on a fishing trip

You're Not Imagining What's Happening on Rotten Tomatoes

I got on the phone with Colin Hanks for about an hour to talk about his new documentary about John Candy and his own experiences with Candy as “his dad’s coworker.” (There are so many Candy movies I’ll never watch the same way again) www.indiewire.com/features/int...

I swear if Hawley gives this thingy a dance number, I will poop myself in DELIGHT

I just think it's weird that almost no one promotes A.I. unless they directly financially benefit from A.I.

Netflix has the antidote for everything that tried to kill us this week. (Also, look ma, they let me review a movie! jk my mom's not on Bluesky and doesn't read Pajiba lololololol)

Nobody can stick to their alliances this season for even half an episode! It's insane.

Just because he doesn't watch movies doesn't mean that Denzel is not a man of impeccable taste. He knows where the real talent lies.

We’ve all done it, at one time or another. Here’s why we should stop.

It’s not a great fit. www.pajiba.com/tv_reviews/d...

"Don't blame me! Even I could've come up with something better." -- ChatGPT

The same kind of person who thought COVID deaths were acceptable if they were old, overweight, had asthma, were non-white, or lived in a city.

I’m back on my hobbyhorse about how publications need critics even more in an age of overwhelming entertainment options.

Marc Maron Is the Oppenheimer of Podcasters

No one has any idea what the fuck they're doing anymore.

Over on @pajiba.com , I had the privilege of breaking down how the "Dear Sister" SNL sketch is the ultimate and hysterical precursor to The Naked Gun. www.pajiba.com/film_reviews...

Someone needs to write a TV series about a small, close-knit midwestern town trying to deal with the sudden disappearance of 2 percent of its population after a series of ICE raids bankrupt businesses, tear apart families, and destroy the community. It's like 'The Leftovers,' but for real.

That little girl is not gonna convince me to buy anything. She hasn't even had to consider what perimenopause is. Be serious!

Hello WGAW writers! I’m running for board and would be honored to have your endorsement. I'm running because simply put, it’s a tough time for writers, and I want to help. Would you enjoy more details? Check out my candidate website here! elections.wga.org/2025/mike-ro...

Last year, Colbert averaged 2.2 million viewers a night to Fallon's 1.2 million. And yet, Fallon's show made $20 million more than Colbert's in ad revenue. This is why.

Un-fucking-real

I want Stephen Colbert to break shit.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Here’s the last month of my life: Why, 40 years later, THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN is still invincible. I got quotes from pretty much everybody, there are multiple Jon Peters stories involved, and I had an extremely unpleasant interaction with the screenwriter www.indiewire.com/features/int...

Beyond appalling. You simply do not get better than Margaret Lyons.

David Corenswet is good at Superman.

BREAKING: A federal court just blocked the president's executive order restricting birthright citizenship nationwide. This is part of our new case challenging this illegal policy. The 14th Amendment is clear: If you are born in the U.S., you are U.S. citizen.

One hell of an accomplishment. Congratulations!

Oh hey look at this back door review of “Nine Puzzles” coasting on some tenuous “Squid Game” news!
