I said, ‘Dad, Poppy you cannot be there on time. Nobody can.’ It’s a tough one. I understand. It premiered in Cannes and I’m sitting there in the audience and I was like, ‘Oh my God, no that’s me.

Chef Andrea Terry’s restaurant might have closed in The Bear’s season-three finale, but chef Curtis Duffy’s is still very much open. Ever may have closed on The Bear, but in real life, the Chicago restaurant is still very much open. “Our publicist said to make that very clear right off the top,” jokes Michael Muser, Ever’s director of operations. Helmed by chef Curtis Duffy and — fortunately — not Olivia Colman’s Andrea Terry, the two-Michelin-star restaurant sits in the city’s Fulton Market neighborhood, where it has offered an eight-to-ten-course tasting menu since opening in July 2020.

It never hurts to log off and touch grass. The vibes on Twitter are off. They have been for a while, but now the bird app has turned into the meme of a girl watching a house burn down, thanks to Elon Musk’s continued efforts to command the platform — which have so far included charging users $8 to (in his own words) “trash” him, laying off about half of the company’s 7,500 employees, recommending that people vote Republican, suspending Kathy Griffin for “impersonating” him, and polling/trolling the internet.

2020 has been quite the year for America’s favorite prolific musical genius and quippiest kilowatt blonde, the unsinkable Dolly Parton. She’s currently winding down the year with a hat trick consisting of a new Christmas album (A Holly Dolly Christmas), a new Netflix holiday movie (Christmas on the Square), and the cure for COVID-19 (via a million-dollar donation that helped develop the promising Moderna vaccine). Your fave could never, as the kids say. [Read More]

High Fidelity’s “Simon’s Top Five” and Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet’s “A Dark Quiet Death” take a break from the shows’ main protagonists to tell stories about someone else entirely. One of the fundamental truths of great TV storytelling is that all shows should have at least one stand-alone episode, and that has never been more clear than for two of February’s most interesting new shows. On Apple TV+, there’s Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet, a workplace sitcom from the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia team about video-game developers that’s easily 50 percent better than its title makes it sound.

Spoilers follow for the film Everything Everywhere All at Once.  No one in Everything Everywhere All at Once is only who they seem to be. If the multiverse is infinite and limitless, argues the movie from co-directors and co-writers Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (collectively known as the Daniels), then we, as products of that multiverse, are capable of anything and everything, too. The film’s leads embody that idea. [Read More]

[In the style of Billie Eilish:] What was this made for? After an awards season that felt like it lasted for eons (with the added 2023 Emmys to make things even crazier), things are finally winding down. Oscar voting closed on February 27, so our winners have been chosen, and the ceremony is finally being held this week. We’re almost free! Ahead of his hosting gig at this year’s early-bird Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel starred in a surprisingly long Barbie-themed ad to promote the awards ceremony. [Read More]

On September 18, 2022, at 4:26 a.m., a user on GTAForums referring to themselves as teapotuberhacker posted nearly 100 videos totaling 50 minutes of footage from Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6. The unauthorized release of the material has been described as “one of the biggest leaks in video game history” by Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier. The day after posting the footage, which appears to show the game in an early development state, the user posted again claiming to have access to not only the source code of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 but also Grand Theft Auto 5, the single-player and online-multiplayer game released in 2013 that has raked in over $6 billion in revenue.

What is the deal with international comedy? Join me each week to ask that very question in Comedy Tourism as I explore different trends and traditions of how the rest of the world makes funny in their respective native tongues. Don’t forget your passports! Just kidding, you don’t need your passport. Or do you? (You don’t.) Michael Scott is gone and nothing, aside from a failed movie career or star-studded series finale, is going to bring him back. [Read More]
