With a name and actions straight out of Game of Thrones, Philip Reeker, the acting assistant secretary of state in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, gave testimony (and provided a wealth of information while doing it) to House investigators behind closed doors on Saturday, according to the Wall Street Journal.

In news that should not surprise anyone who stuck with the show through the final season, Game of Thrones series creators David Benioff and DB Weiss admitted that they had no idea what they were doing, while on a panel as part of the Austin Film Festival this weekend. Maybe hoping that the story of their stumble into success would come across like one of two intrepid underdogs, it unfortunately highlighted the startling ability of white male mediocrity to always “fail up.”

We all know (at least those of us who want to know) the huge influence that women have had on the horror genre. We pretty much invented it.

As reported in Variety this afternoon, Tina Tchen - CEO and president of Time's Up - has released a statement asking for NBCUniversal to release all of its employees from their NDAs so that they may speak "without any fear of retaliation." This statement was sparked by the announcement Rachel Maddow made on her show Friday evening that the media conglomerate will release former employees if they first contact their legal department.

Part one of the final season of Bojack Horseman dropped on Netflix today! But before we jump into back into that world of animated animals that makes me cry very human feelings, I thought I would take a moment to reminisce over some of the greatest moments of the real protagonist of the show (yeah I said it!) Princess Carolyn!

Queen of space, and also my heart, Jane “Barbarella” Fonda, was arrested yet again at climate protests this week. She’s had a few celebrity pals arrested with her, like cast member and Law & Order District Attorney Sam Waterson, and the silver fox zaddy Ted Danson, and at this most recent protest, filmed her BAFTA acceptance speech while being zip-tied and led away.

This week was heavy with reminders about the importance of state and local elections in impacting key human rights issues, not the least of which being reproductive rights.

I'm a patient person (or I'd like to think that I am), but the knowledge that Lucasfilm has been toying with the idea of an Obi-Wan Kenobi standalone story for the last 4 years, and Ewan McGregor knew about it, is the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back.

A true American hero emerged today at Elijah Cummings' funeral after passing right by Senate Majority Leader "Moscow Mitch" McConnell without a handshake.

Girl on the Third Floor, the directorial debut of longtime genre producer Travis Stevens, hits streaming this weekend. It tells the story of Don Koch (C.M. Punk), a man attempting to rebuild his life by renovating an old house in the suburbs of Chicago. He is in partially self-imposed exile, with his very pregnant wife remaining behind in the city. They both hope this new house will give their relationship and livelihoods a fresh start.

Rudy Giuliani remains the king of endlessly mockable breaches of national security.

Kudos to the GOATs. May Jane Fonda, Ted Danson, and Sam Waterston have iconic mugshots that I will willingly wear on t-shirts.

It’s interesting to take a character like Annie Wilkes, in 2019, and place her in not just a central role, but in the role of the apparent heroine (it is Castle Rock, after all, so this could change with a few more episodes).

The wait to return to Jennifer L. Armentrout's Lux universe is finally over. 'The Burning Shadow' is here.

The reporter released audio and a transcript of a call with Conway, who called to berate her–and again, this is a reporter from the Washington Examiner so really, there are no heroes here. But my god, Conway sure is pushing to make herself the villain.

The Current War, which was slated to premiere back in 2017, has had quite the journey to make it to theaters, but that's kind of fitting, as the story focuses on the fight to bring electricity to America that took place between Thomas Edison (Benedict Cumberbatch) and George Westinghouse. At the premiere, we got to talk to screenwriter Michael Mitnick, director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, and star Benedict Cumberbatch about the film!

The Disney-afflicted network, Freeform, has decided not to renew the superhero drama Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger for a third season.

Do you know what events Harvey Weinstein should most definitely not attend, ever? Ones geared towards young performers, and especially ones where young women are performing.

This is what happens when they try to make people into characters. In real life, there is no fourth wall separating their self-sabotage from their audience, and they don’t realize that although they imitate characters on a screen, this is no performance.

There are a lot of Halloween and other sorts of costumes that shouldn't exist. There's the racist cultural appropriations and there's the weird sexualization of Gilead residents, but "child bride" isn't one that I'd seen before Kmart announced they were pulling that outfit from their shelves in Australia.
