Between its Y2K aesthetic and buttery smooth bunny hop-adjacent movement, Don't Stop, Girlypop! seems like one to look out for. www.endlessmode.com/article/dont...

Animation is everywhere this October, and we've got a full rundown of what you can watch from Solar Opposites to Hazbin Hotel.

Given Max Martin’s track record with Taylor Swift, her 12th album rings a tad disappointing. Even so, it delivers on the promise of a punchier pop album and justifies its existence with crisp production and unexpected melodies—if you can stomach the lyrics. www.pastemagazine.com/music/taylor...

Upgrading from two days to three, this year's All Things Go Festival went big and bold in 2025, bringing in some of the best young talent to Forest Hills Stadium.

From Boston Blue to The Last Frontier, here are five underrated new TV shows that we're excited to see in October.

In Noah Baumbach latest, George Clooney plays Jay Kelly, an actor looking back. Is it the character or movie who feels incomplete?

Daniel Day-Lewis and his son Ronan bring plenty of artistic integrity to Anemone, but there's some self-indulgence here, too.

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:

100% worth watching.

I wonder if people like Anderson and Leo and Taylor and del Toro and Hall all wake up in the morning consciously devoted to outdoing themselves, or if I just have recency bias? Each hits a new height in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, is why I'm asking. My review, for @pastemagazine.bsky.social:

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.

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.

Both revolution and fatherhood present Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another with crackling tension.

Across its all-too-brief two seasons, Marvel's #AgentCarter subscribed to a consistently winning genre formula.

On 'Neon Grey Midnight Green,' Neko Case insists that grief sharpens rather than clouds reality, and that connection—human and animal alike—is the antidote to dread.

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

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

The Chicago Tribune and the Sun-Times have offered their film critics buyouts and killed their positions. These are the papers that gave us Siskel & Ebert. To reflect on that, I interviewed Chicago film critics old and new for @pastemagazine.bsky.social. www.pastemagazine.com/movies/film-...

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

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.

The rule-breaking, foul-mouthed Die Spitz aren’t simply one of the best live acts in Austin, they’re a bad-bitch band making music that yells in all-caps.

This week at Endless Mode, we're exploring video game maps, and @thewillarowe.bsky.social kicks us off with a piece about 1000XResist's intentionally crummy map of the Orchard. While it may not be particularly useful for directions, it works as an extension of this setting and those who live there.

@pastemagazine.bsky.social laments the death of the movie critic, highlighting that the newspapers that gave the world Siskel and Ebert cut those positions recently www.pastemagazine.com/movies/film-...

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
