Azealia Banks Filmed Herself Cleaning a Closet She Claims to Have Performed Witchcraft Rituals in, a

If you think you are incapable of being further surprised by this year or by Azealia Banks, then this video of the rapper and Twitter personality cleaning out her small witchcraft den might shake the numb off of you. According to Banks, who is filming herself here, she’s been practicing witchcraft in a closet (presumably in her home) for about three years now, and it’s apparently time to do some pre-spring-cleaning on the walls and floors that really, really seem to be covered with blood and bird feathers.

Baby Reindeers Richard Gadd Leaves Netflix for HBO

Richard Gadd. Richard Gadd doesn’t want TV, he wants HBO. The man who wrote and starred in the Netflix breakout hit Baby Reindeer will leave the streamer for more prestigious waters. He will create, write, and produce his next series with a co-producing assist from HBO and the BBC. “Ordering a HBO box set of The Sopranos, The Wire, or Oz and watching it from start to finish were some of the happiest moments of my childhood,” Gadd said in a press release announcing the news on June 27.

Babyteeth Is Not Your Standard Cancer Romance

A terminally ill teenage girl falls in love with a junkie in Shannon Murphy’s sweet but unsentimental directorial debut, now available on VOD. Moses (Toby Wallace) is a love interest drawn in equal parts from a teen’s erotic imagination and a parental nightmare. He’s a 23-year-old junkie who looks to have been sleeping rough since his mother kicked him out of her house. When he whips off his shirt, which he does with reasonable frequency, you can practically see the accrued crust of weeks of dried sweat on his skin. [Read More]

Beach House Is Still Mad About That Volkswagen Ad

A few weeks back, Volkswagen released a British commercial using music that sounded an awful lot like Beach House’s “Take Care,” but was not in fact Beach House’s “Take Care.” (This happens a lot.) Fans cried foul, and the Baltimore duo took to Facebook for a polite protest: “The ad agency actively tried to license ‘take care’ from us for weeks, to which we politely declined. People’s comments/ anger should not be directed towards VW or us. [Read More]

Bear with Seth MacFarlane Again

Thanks for coming to Seth MacFarlane’s Ted talk. After two movies, MacFarlane is once again gearing up to voice the foul-mouthed teddy … but in a TV show this time. Set in 1993, the upcoming prequel series Ted will follow its titular character’s life in Framingham, Massachusetts.

Before Challengers, Josh OConnor Served Sex and Swagger in a Masterpiece Series

Whenever Josh O’Connor is onscreen in Challengers, he’s a cocky charmer, confident in his power (and his sexual prowess) even at his lowest. It’s a far cry from the role most people in the U.S. know him for — The Crown’s Prince Charles — but it’s not too distant from the role people should know him for: The Durrells in Corfu’s Larry.  Airing from 2016-2019, The Durrells in Corfu (or The Durrells, as it’s known in Europe) is an ITV period drama with swagger.

Behind Her Eyes Is Trolling You

In Netflix’s Behind Her Eyes, Louise (Simona Brown, left) gets drawn into a tense, secretive psychosexual relationship with Adele (Eve Hewson) and her husband, David. Behind Her Eyes, the new Netflix series based on the novel by Sarah Pinborough, is a psychological adultery thriller about a woman having an affair with her married boss. It’s also about addiction, lucid dreaming, British classism, lies, and trauma. Mostly, though, Behind Her Eyes is a series about its ending. [Read More]

Behold Leslie Knopes Awful Version of We Didnt Start the Fire

On last night’s Parks and Recreation, Leslie and Ron finally ended their feud — but it wasn’t easy. It took an overnight lock-in in their old offices to finally get to the root of their estrangement, and while Leslie was eager to get everything out in the open, Ron was … predictably less so. So Leslie brought out the big guns: her personalized version of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” It’s awful and amazing, irritating but brilliant, and should be canonized in karaoke books across this land.

Behold, an Actually Good Omen Movie

Nell Tiger Free in The First Omen. This article was originally published on April 5, 2024. The First Omen began streaming on Hulu on May 30, 2024. At some point, we should probably have a conversation about how our culture has now given us, within the span of two weeks, two separate horror movies in which young American nuns arrive in Italy only to discover a sinister plan by a demonic faction of the Catholic Church to impregnate women — with a biological heir to Jesus Christ in Immaculate and, now, with the Antichrist in The First Omen.
