You thought it was plenty dark when you found out The Sandlot’s Bertram “got really into the ’60s and no one ever saw him again,” but Benny Blanco and Juice WRLD’s “Graduation” music video takes movie-character epilogues to their next logical conclusion: the Robotic Wars. What starts as a sweet end-of-high-school tale starring lovebirds Hailee Steinfeld and Justice Smith spirals out of control as we find out the fate of our seniors in the futuristic hellscape that awaits them after high school.

The first issue of the National Lampoon appeared in April 1970 and sold fewer than half of the five hundred thousand copies printed. Some readers may have thought they were buying yet another Harvard Lampoon magazine parody, understandably confused by a cover that was a variation on their recent Time parody; a dimly lit model in revealing costume posed against a muddy brown background with the caption “Sexy Cover Issue.” Less predictably, next to the model was a grinning cartoon duck — a Doug Kenney idea.

When we read that Bill Murray was arrested in Sweden for driving a golf cart under the influence — we’re not going to make any stupid jokes about it, TMZ has that covered — we naturally thought of Caddyshack, a movie about gophers that tangentially involves golf and features Murray, as Bill Spackler, slurring his words as if he were drunk. Here’s Spackler telling the highly amusing story of hitting the links with the Dalai Lama.

While Boardwalk Empire’s Margaret Schroeder (Kelly Macdonald) rallies the women’s vote, housewife Angela Darmody (Aleksa Palladino) seeks a quieter revolution: one that will allow her to have a painting career and a female lover. Despite her Gibson Girl features, Manhattan-born Palladino had never done a period piece before Boardwalk Empire. The actress got her start as a teenager in a series of well-received indies (Manny & Lo, The Adventures of Sebastian Cole) before getting a major career boost in her twenties from director Sidney Lumet (Find Me Guilty, Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead).

How a small theater in Amsterdam became the most influential American comedy factory you’ve never heard of. Photo-Illustration: by Vulture; Images courtesy of Andrew Moskos It’s late 1997. Seth Meyers is not yet Seth Meyers, but you can see the outlines of him in the skinny 23-year-old onstage at a scruffy Amsterdam theater. In a white button-down, dress pants, and a dark tie, with his hair pulled back tightly into a small ponytail, he looks a bit like a high-schooler whose parents made him dress up nice for Dad’s company Christmas party.

Some spoilers for BPM (Beats Per Minute) below.
It’s impossible to even begin talking about a movie like BPM (Beats Per Minute) — French director Robin Campillo’s thrilling, heartbreaking portrayal of the AIDS activist group ACT UP Paris in the early-to-mid-1990s — without stating first that such a film about the epidemic has never been made, nor perhaps ever will be made, in the United States.
