Strong Guys, Green Guys, and Roof Guys in This Week’s Three Trailers

19 hours ago | pajiba.com | Jen Maravegias

Just when we thought the debate over the best movie President was settled, here comes John Cena throwing his hat in the ring with Prime Video’s Heads of State. Oh, it also stars Idris Elba as the Prime Minister of England. I don’t know if anyone around here is into him, though. I want to watch them fight each other with saplings. The rest of the cast is strong, too. Not strong strong. But, you know, talented strong.
New York City: We’re Tryin’ To Elect a Mayor Here!

3 days ago | pajiba.com | Jen Maravegias

It seems like everyone in the world is aware of New York City’s democratic primary race, and frankly, the scrutiny is exhausting. Why did I wake up this morning to someone in the Netherlands asking New Yorkers’ opinions about mayoral candidates on Threads? I assume the Netherlands has its own politicians that the locals should be worried about. Let me drink my iced coffee in peace. And in the dark. Because not only is it Primary Day here in NYC, it’s also the hottest day of the year.
Is ‘The Gilded Age’ Good Now, Actually?

4 days ago | pajiba.com | Chris Revelle

By Chris Revelle | TV | June 23, 2025 Header Image Source: HBO Max Hello, fellow opera-lovers, temperance activists, and railway barons! We return to HBO’s The Gilded Age to find it has transformed. The first two seasons cemented the series as a god-tier, Smash-level so-bad-it’s-good mess with its inability to see plotlines through, its allergy to dialogue that doesn’t clunk upon delivery, and its wobbly attempts at shining a narrative light on social justice.
Gone with the Windbags: 'Natchez' Skewers Plantation Pageantry and the Lost Cause Myth

4 days ago | pajiba.com | Jason Adams

It took Margaret Mitchell more years to write her novel Gone With the Wind than the actual Confederacy lasted, which in retrospect is as good a proof as any that the most potent weapon in any arsenal is propaganda. Here it is almost a century on from that book’s publication (and its subsequent beloved movie adaptation), and we’re still being forced to battle against her romanticized vision of America’s Antebellum nightmare.
Why Did 'And Just Like That...' Bother Bringing Aidan Back?

4 days ago | pajiba.com | Chris Revelle

It’s a well-worn observation that, like The Morning Show, HBO Max’s And Just Like That is a series where chaos reigns. Characters change personalities from episode to episode to serve the whims of harebrained plots, threads are begun and discarded with wild abandon, and guest stars, even when fabulous, are squandered on meager archetypes with too few lines.
'The Buccaneers' Starring Kristine Froseth and Alisha Boe

1 week ago | pajiba.com | Chris Revelle

By Chris Revelle | TV | June 20, 2025 Header Image Source: AppleTV+ When AppleTV+’s The Buccaneers first premiered, the series felt like a fun throwback to the era of CW teen soap operas, particularly the anachronistic period drama Reign. The adaptation of Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel acted as a companion to HBO Max’s The Gilded Age, imagining the tangled misadventures of rich American teens hunting for husbands among the landed gentry of England.
Sam Rockwell Casts Doubt on His MCU Return

1 week ago | pajiba.com | Andrew Sanford

I was bartending at a Broadway theater when an older woman insisted I go see Iron Man 2. “You haven’t seen it yet,” she asked. “You have to go. It’s amazing!” Movies in a theater were not in my post-conservatory budget at the time. Even still, I was surprised to hear someone tell me that, despite the monumental success that was the first Iron Man film. My memory of Iron Man 2 was that it was a bit of a disaster, which is wild to consider, given how far the MCU has come since.
'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia,' 'The Institute,' 'The Rainmaker'

1 week ago | pajiba.com | Jen Maravegias

Welcome to the longest, brightest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, campers! Once the season of endless, boring reruns, summer is officially upon us in these parts. But television seasons are a thing of the past, and we have plenty of new shows to look forward to (or avoid) in the next couple of months. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia returns for its 17th season in July.
Jimmy Fallon Wants You To Know That Businesses Are People Too

1 week ago | pajiba.com | Andrew Sanford

Look, late-night shows are dying; I get it. Having to hear Seth Meyers talk recently about being bummed that there won’t be a new generation of hosts was sobering. It’s not surprising, but dagnabbit, I think I’ve always held out hope that what is old would become hip again. Not just hip, but a successful and viable source of entertainment with which networks could make money. I’m not naive. Without bringing in bucks, those shows won’t continue.
'28 Years Later' Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Jodie Comer

1 week ago | pajiba.com | Jason Adams

By Jason Adams | Film | June 19, 2025 Header Image Source: Sony Not to cast the suits at a movie studio as arbiters of taste (heaven forbid) but try as I might I can’t figure out how after all these many years Danny Boyle managed to sell the studio on this version of 28 Years Later that’s hitting theaters this weekend. Was the familiarity of the title simply enough?
