Proper Condom Use Comedy Central Sex education in American public schools is a joke in and of itself, but “South Park” pushes it to new heights with “Proper Condom Use.” Cartman and Kenny are tricked by the fifth graders into believing it’s possible to “milk” a dog, when in reality, they’re just stimulating a dog until it ejaculates. The two show Stan and Kyle what they’ve learned, which Stan executes in front of his parents and all of their friends to all of their horror....

Tokyo Godfathers Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan The holiday legitimacy of Satoshi Kon’s 2003 film may be up for debate. But the Frank Capra-esque dramedy that bursts to the seams with empathy makes it a Christmas movie in my book! Loosely based on Peter B. Kyne’s novel “Three Godfathers,” “Tokyo Godfathers” is a film that follows three unhoused people — a depressed alcoholic named Gin (Tōru Emori), a trans woman named Hana (Yoshiaki Umegaki), and a runaway teen named Miyuki (Aya Okamoto) — discover an abandoned baby on Christmas Eve....

The Midnight Club Final Teaser: Heather Langenkamp Is Here To Help You Die Netflix By BJ Colangelo/Sept. 30, 2022 7:40 pm EST The name “Mike Flanagan” might as well be a license to print money these days, with “The Haunting of Hill House,” “The Haunting of Bly Manor,” “Midnight Mass,” “Gerald’s Game,” “Doctor Sleep,” and just about anything else he’s ever put his name on developing massive and dedicated fanbases. For the most part, Flanagain deals with the horrors of adulthood, but his new Netflix series “The Midnight Club” has him firmly in the teen sphere....

The Nightmare On Elm Street Prequel Pitch That Earned Robert Englund’s Stamp Of Approval New Line Cinema By Witney Seibold/July 29, 2022 4:56 pm EST Looking back, it’s astonishing how large the character of Freddy Krueger loomed over the pop consciousness of the 1980s. Freddy, played by Robert Englund in eight of the nine “A Nightmare on Elm Street” movies, was a serial killer in the fictional town of Springwood, IL who had tortured and killed multiple neighborhood children....

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story Ends With A Nod To An Iconic Horror Movie The Roku Channel By Shae Sennett/Nov. 4, 2022 10:19 pm EST Just in case this is necessary, spoilers for the biopic parody “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” lie ahead. You’ve been warned? If there’s one thing “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” does well, it’s a parody. Weird Al rose to fame performing hilarious takes on hit pop songs, like his version of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It,” titled “Eat It,” and Yankovic’s biopic remains true to the comedic sensibility of his work....

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story Trailer: The True Story Of The Icon Who (Literally) Changed Music Roku By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 29, 2022 10:24 am EST In the years since Daniel Radcliffe first threw on those famous glasses and saved the world as the boy wizard in the “Harry Potter” franchise, the talented actor has since completely reimagined his image multiple times over. He’s been the hunchback Igor in “Victor Frankenstein,” a farting corpse relearning the ways of the world in the Daniels’ brilliant feature debut “Swiss Army Man,” a totally unassuming guy who gets guns nailed to his hands in “Guns Akimbo,” and most recently a delightfully mustache-twirling villain in “The Lost City....

Daniel Radcliffe was charmed Hyperion Entertainment The “Harry Potter” star has already been a part of several weird-but-very-original movies. Radcliffe has a reputation for doing crazy stuff, and that’s a conscious choice: he doesn’t want to be afraid to step out of his comfort zone. So, when the actor was presented with the “Guns Akimbo” script, it didn’t take much convincing for Radcliffe to say yes. The script was teeming with physical comedy and featured a character that did some action work; plus, it was a fast-paced premise....

Avatar: The Last Airbender Had To Change Its Name To Avoid A Certain James Cameron Movie Nickelodeon By Rafael Motamayor/Dec. 7, 2022 1:45 pm EST They say not to judge a book by its cover, but what about its title? Because if you grew up outside of the United States, you probably grew up knowing certain famous movies by totally different titles. Sometimes, you get a literal translation of a movie title, but in other instances, movie and TV titles get changed to ridiculously different names, at times for the dumbest reasons....

Billy West ‘Didn’t Get’ One Of Futurama’s Funniest Jokes 20th Television By Witney Seibold/Aug. 9, 2022 1:17 pm EST Despite a career spent saying silly things into a microphone, actor Billy West sometimes doesn’t get the joke. He may have ranted about Jerry the Bellybutton Elf in the voice of Larry Fine, kibbitzed as a cockroach, and played a bisexual polar bear, but every so often a line of dialogue will be handed to him that he simply can’t wrap his head around....

BioShock chooses its director 2K Games For years, fans of the acclaimed “BioShock” video game series have clamored for the material to receive the big-screen treatment, finally bringing all the mind-blowing concepts, disturbingly well-realized character designs, and the oppressive world-building of the underwater city of Rapture into sharp relief on the biggest possible canvas. Those efforts have resulted in quite a tortured development history, with “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “A Cure For Wellness” director Gore Verbinski previously attached to bring the vivid world to life....

‘Black Adam comes at things in a different way and handles them in his own way’ Warner Bros. Pictures There was a trailer event that I went to a while back, and you had mentioned that we need a character like Black Adam to speak their mind, no matter what the repercussions are. So I’d love to hear you talk a little bit more about that. I do. I really think that the world is ready for a character like Black Adam, and I think there have been so many great comic book movies out there, but there’s never been an antihero like Black Adam on the big screen....

Bong Joon-Ho’s Mickey 17 Gets Release Date And A Quick Teaser Featuring Robert Pattinson Warner Bros. By Erin Brady/Dec. 5, 2022 6:17 pm EST Cue up your “Return of the King” title card memes, because Bong Joon-ho will be returning to our screens in 2024. Out of nowhere, Warner Bros. released the first look at the sci-fi drama “Mickey 17” to their social media channels, and admittedly, there’s not a lot of footage to parse through and analyze....

Candy Cane Lane: Everything We Know So Far About The Eddie Murphy Holiday Comedy By Jenna Busch/July 20, 2022 9:00 am EST Just imagine that. You write a spec script and none other than Eddie Murphy agrees to star in it. Not that Younger is a new guy in Hollywood, of course. He co-created and co-executive produced “Muppets Now,” and wrote and co-executive produced “Muppets Haunted Mansion.” He was a member of the Disney Animation Story Trust and, according to the site, worked on things like “Frozen 2,” “Moana,” and “Raya and the Last Dragon....

Cinema Paradiso Ending Explained: Whatever You End Up Doing, Love It Titanus By Lee Adams/Sept. 4, 2022 7:00 pm EST It doesn’t take much to make me cry when it comes to movies. Whether it’s a deathbed scene, a happy reunion, or a coach giving a motivational speech in an underdog sports movie, I’m close to blubbing every time. “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “The Remains of the Day,” and “Atonement” are just a few movies that leave me in a puddle on the floor, and I even get emotional during films that aren’t traditionally tear-jerking....

A question of identity 20th Century Studios In an interview From the “Avatar: The Way of Water” cover feature for the December 2022 issue of Total Film (on sale November 10th), Stephen Lang talked about his new character’s precarious situation. Given that the original version of Quaritch perished in the first film, the one we see in “The Way of Water” is known as a “Recombinant,” an avatar with all the old memories of Lang’s character....

Disney Freaked Out About This Recess Episode, Calling It A ‘Critique Of Religion’ Walt Disney Television Animation By BJ Colangelo/Aug. 5, 2022 5:05 pm EST The late 1990s was a golden age for serialized animation for young audiences. Nickelodeon, The Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network were firing on all cylinders, and ’90s kids were able to reap the benefits of an explosive new entertainment landscape. In 1997, Walt Disney Television Animation debuted the show “Recess” on ABC, as part of Disney’s “One Saturday Morning” block of programming, the last vestige of Saturday Morning Cartoons....

Filming For Weird: The Al Yankovic Story Went At A Breakneck Pace The Roku Channel By Witney Seibold/Sept. 16, 2022 3:19 pm EST “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” is, for the nerds keeping track, the third partially accurate satirical biopic of the life of “Weird Al” Yankovic. The first came in 1985 with the release of the VHS special “The Compleat Al,” which was released to coincide with his third studio album “Dare to be Stupid....

Francis Ford Coppola Thinks Perfectionism Poisoned Keanu Reeves’ Dracula Performance Sony/Columbia Pictures By Sarah Musnicky/Oct. 3, 2022 12:58 pm EST This year marks the 30th anniversary of Francis Ford Coppola’s “Bram Stoker’s Dracula.” It’s an exquisite tale of love, horror, and tragedy full of eroticism that does the original novel justice. Nothing has managed to get as close to the novel in spirit and storyline, and it is a favorite among many horror and non-horror fans for this reason (among many others)....

We can be heroes just for one singularly unwatchable movie Universal Pictures According to Brad Duke’s “Harrison Ford: The Films,” the actor viewed the looming (though far from guaranteed) success of “Star Wars” as a springboard to more interesting work. “Heroes” offered an appealing landing spot. Ford was third billed behind Henry Winkler, a television phenom based on his portrayal of The Fonz on “Happy Days,” and Sally Field, who was about to become a full-fledged movie star as Burt Reynolds’ co-star in 1977’s second-highest-grossing movie (behind “Star Wars”) “Smokey and the Bandit....

Yet another question of succession HBO “The Lord of the Tides” begins the culmination of mistakes made so long ago, that those at fault still believe they can be left behind forever. But the damage has been done beyond repair: Rhaenyra can keep trying to dodge the consequences, but the fact of her children’s parentage will never stop haunting them. And though Alicent can try to make nice, the resentment that she’s passed down to her children has taken root....
