News, Ashley Judd, Harvey Weinstein, sexual misconduct By Vivian Kane on Thu,2:00 U.S. District Judge Philip Gutierrez says he's not denying Judd's claims that she was harassed, just her ability to sue for harassment. TV, Netflix, Penn Badgley, YOU By Rachel Leishman on Thu,1:11 I'm not the only one who thinks the internet's obsession with Joe is weird. You star Penn Badgley has used his Twitter account to continually point out that we shouldn't thirst over Joe Goldberg. TV, Jon Bernthal, Netflix, The Punisher By Chelsea Steiner on Thu,12:49 The first full trailer for Netflix's second season of The Punisher has landed, giving us our first look at the new roster of supporting characters that will join Frank Castle on his endless quest for vengeance.

Movies, DC Comics, marvel, superhero movies By Rachel Leishman on Thu,12:27 You'd think that after all this time, people would finally start to accept that superhero movies are here to stay, but still we have tweets and articles claiming that the superhero narrative is boring. Why? Because people can't let anyone just enjoy something without critiquing it to death. Movies, Green Book By Princess Weekes on Thu,11:20 Post-Golden Globes, it hasn't been a good week for Green Book. Movies, Glass, M. Night Shyamalan By Rachel Leishman on Wed,6:02 Not everyone is an M. Night Shyamalan fan and, from what I can tell, they are not going to become one after seeing Glass.

Jackson By Kaila Hale-Stern on Wed,3:23 We're getting a lot of new information about Carol Danvers and Captain Marvel as outlets release embargoed interviews with the cast and creatives. And Nick Fury himself may have just flipped a lot of our assumptions and theories on their head. TV, Lifetime, Netflix, YOU By Rachel Leishman on Wed,3:04 I get it; a man dedicated to you so much that he'd do anything for you can seem appealing, but You ain't it, fam—especially because that "dedication" leads to Joe murdering people for Beck, even though she didn't ask for it. News, donald trump, GoFundMe, government shutdown By Vivian Kane on Wed,1:53 We're nearly three weeks into what is currently the second-longest government shutdown in U.S. history, meaning hundreds of thousands of government workers are still unable to work or are being asked to work without pay, and there's no end in sight.
