What If ‘Murderbot’ Is Just Quibi Done Right?

3 days ago | pajiba.com | Tori Preston

By Tori Preston | TV | June 3, 2025 Header Image Source: AppleTV+ “Appointment TV” used to be synonymous with water-cooler shows, the ones you’d tune into every week because everyone else was watching too, and you wanted to be a part of the conversation.
‘Mountainhead’ Review: Jesse Armstrong Speed Runs the End of Civilization for Laughs

4 days ago | pajiba.com | Tori Preston

By Tori Preston | Film | June 2, 2025 Header Image Source: HBO (via screenshot) Jesse Armstrong is an absolute madman. He came off the end of the critically acclaimed Succession and apparently decided he had more to say about the ways ultra-rich people ruin everything, so he wrote a movie about it. Then he directed it himself, as his feature film debut. He did all of that, the writing and the directing, in under six months. And here’s the kicker: it’s good.
Netflix's Guillermo del Toro and Oscar Isaac 'Frankenstein' Trailer

5 days ago | pajiba.com | Jen Maravegias

Netflix’s global fan event, cleverly named “Tudum,” was Friday night. It’s the streamer’s version of an upfront where they drop first looks, teasers, and trailers for their upcoming projects. But we only have eyes for the much-anticipated teaser for Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. Oscar Isaac stars as Mary Shelley’s visionary, but morally corrupt, Victor Frankenstein.
'The Phoenician Scheme' is Another Bespoke Slice of Wes Anderson Movie Magic

5 days ago | pajiba.com | Jason Adams

“It’s not a conspiracy, it’s a family!” That line of dialogue was spoken by one Flanders “Flan” Kittredge (Donald Sutherland) in the 1993 film version of Six Degrees of Separation. A wonderful film and a wonderful performance (go watch it if you never have), which coincidentally you could drop down into any Wes Anderson movie without breaking a single bead of sweat.
'And Just Like That...' Is Shallow 'Sex and the City' Fanfiction in Season 3

1 week ago | pajiba.com | Chris Revelle

By Chris Revelle | TV | May 30, 2025 Header Image Source: Getty Images At the end of last season’s And Just Like That…, Carrie Bradshaw led her many pals to let go of something that was in their way: distrust, the past, guilt, all classic roadblocks any given adult has encountered at some point. Ultimately, Carrie chose to leave expectations behind because no one can predict the future, and hoping to change or control what’s coming is a fool’s errand.
Pete Davidson Continues to Get Work, Kim K Is a Lawyer (on TV), and Holt McCallany Returns in This Week’s Three Trailers

1 week ago | pajiba.com | Jen Maravegias

By Jen Maravegias | News | May 30, 2025 Header Image Source: Miramax The personal trials and tribulations, as well as the limited box office success of his movies certainly hasn’t prevented studios from continuing to hire Pete Davidson. He plays lead in his next film, The Home, which comes from writer/director James DeMonaco, best known for The Purge films.
The Cast of the Disappearing Actress: January Jones

By Dustin Rowles | Celebrity | May 29, 2025 Header Image Source: Getty Images Every now and then, someone I haven’t thought about in years will randomly pop into my head. I’ll look them up, and without fail, they’re either on a CBS procedural, an NBC drama, or—if they’re women—they’ve aged into invisibility. For actresses in their 40s, the roles just vanish.
Mike Birbiglia's Urban Air Bit Is the Best 10 Minutes of Stand-Up in 2025

1 week ago | pajiba.com | Dustin Rowles

Mike Birbiglia may not be the funniest stand-up comedian working today, but few, if any, craft a special as skillfully as he does. He can be hilarious, heartfelt, and even tiptoe right up to the edge of controversy, but he always pulls it back to a central theme. He never fails to make me laugh and hit me square in the feels. He’s a storyteller first, who just happens to be incredibly good at telling jokes. His latest Netflix special, Good Life, is no exception. It’s fantastic.
Aziz Ansari's Keanu Reeves and Seth Rogen Movie Has a Trailer (But It's Not the Bill Murray Movie)

1 week ago | pajiba.com | Dustin Rowles

Recall that Bill Murray was booted from an Aziz Ansari film back in 2023 for inappropriate behavior (he thought it was funny to kiss a woman while wearing a mask; the woman did not). That movie was called Being Mortal, and it starred Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer. After the Murray allegations, Ansari scrapped Being Mortal and pivoted to a new project: Good Fortune, which—coincidentally or not—also stars Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer. The two films are entirely different, though.
How Did John Mulaney Fare in His Fight with Three Teenagers on 'Everyone's Live'?

1 week ago | pajiba.com | Dustin Rowles

Several weeks ago, on Everyone’s Live with John Mulaney, the host teased—in a take on the 100 people vs. a gorilla meme—that he, John Mulaney, would engage in a fight with three teenagers. He wasn’t kidding. He trained for this fight. And in last night’s season (and potentially series) finale of Everyone’s Live, Mulaney followed through on that promise. The theme was Teen Night.
