By Chris Revelle | TV | April 11, 2025 | Header Image Source: HBO/Max Hacks returned to Max on Thursday with a double-episode fourth season premiere that picks up literally moments after the third season finale. Ava (Hannah Einbinder) blackmailed her boss/friend/mentor/tormentor, Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), into giving her the head writer position on Deborah’s new late-night talk show.

By Chris Revelle | TV | April 1, 2025 | Header Image Source: Hulu Mid-Century Modern is a sitcom from 1987 that discovered a time machine in its attic, accidentally stumbled through its glowing portal, and has come to the cursed year of 2025 to claim the lowest-hanging and most obvious fruit available on the joke tree. It’s the “fun aunt” of TV shows that wears tiny red glasses, can never have enough chardonnay, and will always order extra dessert.

By Chris Revelle | TV | March 27, 2025 | Header Image Source: AppleTV+ Another season of AppleTV+’s Mythic Quest ends, bringing the dysfunctional hijinks of our video game developers to a close. Finales of the past left a few threads open to pick up in the following season, but for its fourth season finale, Mythic Quest chose violence. The final moments of the finale (directed by cast member Ashly Burch) are divisive.

By Chris Revelle | TV | March 23, 2025 | Header Image Source: Netflix Whodunnits these days often riff on the vibes of canonical hits and iconic sleuths of the past. There are Sherlocks, Jessica Fletchers, Miss Marples, Hercule Poirots, and more—each with their own mystery-solving style. It makes sense, then, that Shondaland’s zippy new madcap murder mystery The Residence would toss a whole bunch of inspirations into a blender to spin its wild tale.

By Chris Revelle | TV | March 1, 2025 | Header Image Source: HBO/Max I enjoy the HBO series White Lotus for two main reasons: 1. There are heightened caricatures of rich people being absolute messes, and 2. Talented actors are cast to make meals of these caricatures’ many tics, foibles, and vanities. It’s fun to watch ridiculously rich fools sow casual ruin at every achingly beautiful resort they visit like a never-ending Real Housewives cast trip.

By Chris Revelle | TV | February 26, 2025 | Header Image Source: AppleTV+ There’s a moment in the first episode of AppleTV+’s Prime Target that I didn’t see coming and of all surprises to be found on the series where math is magic and mathematicians are treated like mad scientists with the potential to destroy the world, the thing that surprised me the most was this moment of character development.

By Chris Revelle | News | February 18, 2025 | Header Image Source: Getty Images On Easter Day 2018, I was crossing the street at around 9:45 AM when I was struck by a car. Though I broke my leg and embarked on a long recovery that was complicated by two other unrelated surgical events (2018 was a fun year for me), I genuinely consider myself lucky. If I had injured my back, head, or even hand, it could have been so much worse and I’m thankful for that.

By Chris Revelle | Film | February 12, 2025 | Header Image Source: Focus Features One of the dominant narratives of this Oscars season has been the explosive rise and embattled fall of Emilia Pérez and its star, Karla Sofia Gascón. As Kayleigh recently wondered, has there been a bigger disaster of an Oscar campaign than this? Putting aside the scandal of Gascón’s bigotry, there’s also the film’s flawed portrayal of trans identity.

By Chris Revelle | TV | February 7, 2025 | Header Image Source: AppleTV+ I used to subscribe to the idea of “guilty pleasures” because couching my affection for Bravo and the major motion picture Showgirls in irony made me feel less embarrassed. The unspoken insistence that enjoying that stuff doesn’t represent my otherwise “good” taste feels fussy. We humans are contradictory and inconsistent creatures that can find pleasures of all brow levels from low to high.
