Major publisher Gannett rolls the dice on AI-generated gambling content

2 days ago | avclub.com | Emma Keates

Here’s a fun Monday afternoon story that combines not one but two things currently turning American minds into mush: generative AI and online gambling. Oh, and it also has some good old degeneration of journalistic integrity thrown in there to boot.
Nathan Fielder's fake Canadian Idol contestant "didn’t sign up to be the punchline of a joke"

2 days ago | avclub.com | Emma Keates

Watching this increasingly deranged season of The Rehearsal (or really any Nathan Fielder show), it’s hard not to wonder what the very real people at the center of the joke think of their (often unwitting) participation. Last month, we got that answer from a major corporation, and now, we have it from an individual. The answer?
The MCU assembles another weekend box office win

2 days ago | avclub.com | Emma Keates

The MCU scored another victory at the box office this weekend—no asterisk. The New Avengers (née Thunderbolts*) flew to the number one spot for the second weekend in a row. While its $33 million pot was slightly lower than expected (according to Deadline, at least), the film’s 55% drop from its opening weekend ($74 million) is still a significantly better hold than Captain America: Brave New World, the MCU’s other offering this year, which fell 68% within the same timeframe.
Tracy Morgan and Tina Fey's new show scores series order

2 days ago | avclub.com | Emma Keates

Lopez Vs. Lopez, Night Court, Found, The Irrational, and Suits LA are dead; long live The Fall And Rise Of Reggie Dinkins. After a veritable bloodbath on Friday, NBC is starting to rebuild its comedy cabinet. New seasons of St. Denis Medical and Happy’s Place had already secured precious 8 p.m. slots on Mondays and Fridays, respectively. Now, the new single-cam series from creator Tina Fey and star Tracy Morgan will officially join their ranks, per Deadline.
Deaf President Now! is a mainstream take on protesting marginalization

2 days ago | avclub.com | Tim Grierson

The documentary Deaf President Now! features such engaging subjects and such a compelling narrative that one may wonder why they don’t end up loving the movie more than they do. As a look into one pivotal week in March 1988 at Gallaudet, the world’s sole Deaf university, in which the student body rose up in protest against an administration that forced a hearing president on them, this film doesn’t simply have a feel-good story to tell.
Doctor Who heads to Lagos in a vibrant, exciting outing

4 days ago | avclub.com | Isobel Lewis

With Doctor Who’s second season having now passed its midpoint, I’m ready to say it: This is the strongest run of episodes the show has seen in years. It’s an opinion I find a little frustrating (where was this consistency last season when the show really needed it?), but one I’m hearing from casual viewers in the real world as much as hardcore fans online.
Night Court and Lopez Vs. Lopez rest their cases at NBC

5 days ago | avclub.com | Emma Keates

It’s the end of the trial for both Lopez Vs. Lopez and Night Court. Both shows were canceled at NBC today after three seasons each, per Deadline. Night Court—the Melissa Rauch-led reboot of the original 1984 sitcom of the same name—lost its case first as NBC looks to clear space for more NBA coverage next season, according to the trade.

Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson to bunk at Camp Miasma for new Jane Schoenbrun film

5 days ago | avclub.com | Emma Keates

Jane Schoenbrun has a knack for writing great, evocative titles for their films (even if they sound a bit like Fall Out Boy songs). Case in point: their next feature is titled Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma, which follows I Saw The TV Glow, We’re All Going To The World’s Fair, and A Self-Induced Hallucination. Luckily, the newly announced stars of Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma are more than capable of honoring that killer title.
Feel-good restaurant fare undercooks its cast

5 days ago | avclub.com | Shayna Maci Warner

In director Stephen Chbosky and screenwriter Liz Maccie’s straightforward, seemingly apolitical, cheese-heavy fare Nonnas, there is allegedly nothing that a good meal can’t fix. Based on the story behind the real Staten Island restaurant Enoteca Maria, famous for employing nonnas from all over the world, the film follows Jody “Joe” Scaravella (Vince Vaughn) as he emotionally blackmails his way into owning and running a homestyle Italian restaurant as a tribute to his dearly beloved mother.
