A disaster horror comedy that’s equal parts Can’t Hardly Wait and Idle Hands, Kyle Mooney’s directorial debut Y2K is often hilariously sincere in its depiction of social and technological anxieties from the tail end of 1999. Mooney remembers all too well a world where promises of connectivity had not quite caught up with the technology. For those that were not ’90s kids, your mileage may vary and the premise of Y2K might seem confounding: why would a computer system rolling back the clock to 1900 be an issue?
Of course, the anxiety was very real––as documented in Brian Becker and Marley McDonald’s recent HBO documentary Time Bomb Y2K and in stickers from Best Buy telling consumers to shut their computer off before the clock strikes midnight. Mooney’s version bursts with the absurd creativity of a teenager sketching out a wild comic book scenario with...

The 1994 horror movie "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" was the seventh film in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series, and featured one of the cleverest conceits for a horror sequel. The vicious supernatural serial killer Freddy Krueger — able to kill his victims from inside their dreams — somehow escaped the surly bounds of fiction and began stalking the actors and filmmakers who made the original "The Nightmare on Elm Street" a decade prior. Heather Langenkamp appears as herself, as does Robert Englund, John Saxon, Craven, and New Line Cinema bigwig Robert Shaye. Langenkamp did have a young child in 1994 — her late son Daniel Atticus Anderson was born in 1991 — but in the movie, Langenkamp's child was named Jacob and played by actor Miko Hughes.
Prior to "New Nightmare," the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series had become increasingly outlandish and cartoony. Freddy was no longer a menacing murderer, but a comedic supervillain who dispatched his victims in creative,...

Thirty-eight years ago today, Mr. Snider went to Washington. A new graphic novel, Dee Snider: He’s Not Gonna Take It (due out Nov. 21), illustrates the fateful day the Twisted Sister frontman spoke in defense of free speech, alongside Frank Zappa and John Denver, at a Senate hearing regarding placing content-warning labels on album covers. Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello penned a foreword for the book paying tribute to Snider’s heroic spirit.

Some Madonna songs have an important message. The Queen of Pop revealed that she didn’t like the song at first. She decided it had a meaningful story at its center.
One of Madonna‘s songs is about a father-daughter relationship. Madonna herself expected the track to get misinterpreted. Despite this, a famous activist praised the song.
1 of Madonna’s songs was ‘a celebration of life’ that was designed to ruffle feathers
During a 1986 interview with The New York Times, Madonna discussed her attitude as an artist. “I like challenge and controversy — I like to tick people off,” she said.
The Queen of Pop then mentioned one of the most controversial songs of her career. “‘Papa Don’t Preach’ is a message song that everyone is going to take the wrong way,” Madonna said. “Immediately, they’re going to say I am advising every young girl to go out and get pregnant.

Tipper Gore was scandalized by Madonna’s “Dress You Up” and Cyndi Lauper’s “She Bop.” They were two of several songs that inspired a government hearing. Nevertheless, “Dress You Up” was a big hit in the United States.
Madonna‘s “Dress You Up” is a pretty innocuous song. However, “Dress You Up” was once considered so dirty that it inspired a government hearing. Subsequently, the hearing changed music forever.

Were you as shocked as we were while watching “The Masked Singer” on March 29 to discover that the celebrity competing as the Doll was a man? When the character first appeared onstage at the start of the 80’s Night episode, we thought it was a woman hiding inside this elaborate costume. Only when we heard the Doll sing “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” by Simple Minds did we realize that we had been duped.
The judges were just as surprised as we were. By the time the Doll sang “Hungry Like the Wolf” by Duran Duran in the Battle Royal against Scorpio, we were focused on figuring out the name of the fellow that had fooled us. We’ve rewatched both of his performances and his clues package. Forget those guesses by them that Doll is Sebastian Bach, Gene Simmons or Donnie Wahlberg. We are sure we’ve know Doll’s true identity.

Dungeons & Dragons has played a big role (pardon the pun) on Stranger Things since its very first episode. The show’s central four youths Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), Will Byers (Noah Schnapp), Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo), and Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin) all enjoy the role-playing game that utilizes its players’ imaginations to create one sprawling fantasy quest. Many of Stranger Things’ mystical villains have even had their names borrowed from the game with monsters getting monikers like the Demogorgon, the Mind Flayer, and in season 4: Vecna.
In Stranger Things season 4, however, Dungeons & Dragons takes on a more threatening context. In the season’s first episode, the D&d playing Hellfire Club makes note of an article conflating the game with devil worship. After that it becomes clear that the Hawkins community at large starts to view these harmless nerds with some suspicion. The notion that a childrens’ game...

Toward the end of his life, Prince was creating so much music that he appeared to lose sight of his vision. Although his records contained glimmers of brilliance, he had started entombing potentially glorious singalong choruses, jaw-dropping guitar solos, and clever lyrics in overwrought R&b and heavy-handed garage rock. (Check the sparkly impotence of 1999’s Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic.) And unlike the stunning concerts he performed until his death, his albums felt sinful (and not in a Dirty Mind kind of way), since the music was often so...

The third installment of FX on Hulu's new "American Horror Story" spinoff anthology series "American Horror Stories" launched Thursday, featuring performances by "AHS" staple John Carroll Lynch and franchise newcomers Madison Bailey and Rhenzy Feliz. In this hour, Lynch plays Larry Bitterman, the filmmaker of the fictional "Rabbit Rabbit," a supposedly cursed film that had all of its prints destroyed after moviegoers killed each other in the first showing.
Turns out, the film is truly cursed and teen lovers Kelley (Bailey) and Chad (Feliz) find that out the hard way when they attend a drive-in showing of the last remaining print and everyone starts becoming murderous zombies that they have to take out to survive.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “American Horror Stories” Season 1, Episode 3, “Drive In,” streaming now on FX on Hulu.
After a fun and scary two-part premiere that took viewers back to “American Horror Story’s” “Murder House” from its first season, “American Horror Stories” went a different way for Episode 3, “Drive In.”
The action stayed in Los Angeles, kicking things off with a couple of teenagers fooling around while Bob Ross painted happy little trees in the background on TV. The boy, Chad (Rhenzy Feliz), thought they should be “normal” and have sex because they’ve been together for six months, while the girl, Kelly (Madison Bailey), was not ready. When Chad threw a previous relationship in her face, Kelly stormed off and he lamented he was going to die a virgin. Well, knowing this show… maybe!

American Horror Stories will take viewers back to a familiar American Horror Story location.
In a bonkers first-look trailer, we get to see a new crop of characters in the iconic murder house introduced on American Horror Story Season 1.
The house was also featured on American Horror Story Season 8, and when we last left it, it was still filled with countless spirits from the past.
There's no sign of any familiar characters in the house setting, but FX typically keeps plot points under secret until transmission, so there may well be some big faces.
There is the confirmation of the return of the Rubber Suit, which terrorized people on countless occasions throughout the run of the show.
What will it get up to?
We also get a glimpse of the Infantata, which looks poised to be making a return in some capacity during the special season.

Jimmy Fallon and WandaVision star Elizabeth Olsen took a trip through Tonight Shows past in a tribute parody of the actress’ Disney+ Marvel Comics series. As the pair shared a Zoom-style split screen, Tonight became unstuck in time, flashing back to a boozy, black and white ’50s vintage, a late ’60s-early ’70s groovy, smoky, wide-lapeled Carson vibe, a floppy-haired ’90s take with Tipper Gore jokes and finally to, well, no spoilers.
The “FallonVision” bit, complete with era-correct graphics and sets, makes good use of the unsettling, something’s-wrong-here mood of WandaVision as Olsen becomes increasingly aware that things are not quite right.
“Jimmy, you have to stop,” she finally implores. “We all want Covid to be over but you can’t keep running.”
The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.

By all accounts Enid Baines is the perfect film censor. Her fastidious work ethic and principled opinions on things such as swearing and excessive depictions of genital mutilation are the perfect qualities needed for a job like hers. Indeed, she is the last line of defense in the fight to protect the world from the obscene “video nasties” that threaten to undermine the moral compass of society in the 1980s. Her day to day grind resembles less of Tipper Gore in her crusade against members of Twisted Sister and more of what Maggie Nelson’s days might have looked like while doing research for her novel The Art of Cruelty.
Enid is also a woman haunted by the mysterious circumstances surrounding the childhood disappearance of her sister. In all likelihood, the gruesome and cathartic nature of her work probably helps Enid to deal with the loss of her sibling. However...

“Let’s Go Crazy: The Grammy Salute to Prince” airs Tuesday night, four years to the day after the national shutdown began. Strike that… it only feels that way. Actually, as the CBS special is quick to remind you, it arrives exactly four years since the death of Prince — a span of time that feels considerably shorter than that, maybe because of our lingering collective denial over that tragedy, and because it’s impossible to feel eulogistic or even particularly retrospective when recurrent hits like “Kiss” still feel like the product of a new power generation, not a bygone one.
This is a worthy tribute special, as long as your expectations are not that anyone on it will ever actually go crazy. Some of the stars, like Miguel, Juanes and Usher, are content to try on Prince’s pantsuits for size — figuratively speaking — with recreations of his sheer sex appeal,...

In 2019, a lot of big-budget Hollywood movies try to be all things for all people, and end up failing everyone in the process. Is this because of the pervasive liberal P.C. agenda in Hollywood? A desire to prop up new voices and reflect the diversity of our communities in our art? Or is it conservative pearl-clutching that demands our entertainment be palatable, with any rough edges smoothed off? Nah, it’s probably because of money.

In 2019, a lot of big-budget Hollywood movies try to be all things for all people, and end up failing everyone in the process. Is this because of the pervasive liberal P.C. agenda in Hollywood? A desire to prop up new voices and reflect the diversity of our communities in our art? Or is it conservative pearl-clutching that demands our entertainment be palatable, with any rough edges smoothed off? Nah, it’s probably because of money.
In the latest episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, “Thunder Gun 4: Maximum Cool,” the gang are invited to attend a focus group screening of the latest film in their beloved Thunder Gun film franchise. Ready to “tear into this experience,...

Slipknot’s Corey Taylor likened gun culture to a cult and blasted politicians for continuing to blame music and video games for mass shootings in a new interview.
Speaking to the Independent prior to the release of Slipknot’s new album We Are Not Your Kind – and two days before the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio – Taylor said, “There are too many fucking guns in America. I could walk outside right now and find a gun within minutes. There’s a very toxic gun culture here,...

If you were a kid growing up in the ’80s or ’90s and you read Alvin Schwartz’ 1981 spook-tale collection “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark”, you may have felt like the stories added up to your own private “Twilight Zone,” to be consumed with a flashlight under the covers. They had a subversive wonderstruck creepiness intertwined with a weirdly comforting morality. Of course, much of the impact came from Stephen Gammell’s drawings, which were jaw-droppingly horrific for the illustrations in a book aimed at children. His melty black-and-white images of skeletons and corpses and rats and scarecrows and wounded bodies were at once fleshy and ghostly, like dreams with a quality of decay. You could call his style pop-art Francis Bacon, but it also owed something to the children’s-book illustrator Garth Williams (of “Charlotte’s Web” and “Stuart Little” fame). His drawings were over-the-top EC Comics visions given an elegant Victorian timelessness.

Netflix probably thought they made a swift surgical move cutting Marvel’s The Punisher and Jessica Jones this week, but Eminem made it very clear tonight he can take a slice out of the streamer in retaliation.
The Oscar winning hip hop artist took to social media late Wednesday to loudly protest the February 18 cancellation of the bloody Jon Bernthal led vigilante series:
Dear @Netflix,
Regarding Your Cancellation Of The Punisher, You Are Blowing It!!
Sincerely,
Marshall
— Marshall Mathers (@Eminem) February 21, 2019
Along with the early retirement of the Krysten Ritter starring Jones, the not all-together unexpected end of the saga of the ruthless Frank Castle by Netflix one month after its second season launched marks the termination of the once burgeoning business partnership between the Disney-owned superhero giant and the streamer that originated to such fanfare in 2013.

In 1993, Danzig were still largely an underground phenomenon. Although they’d put out their self-titled debut LP in 1988, they were still best known as the heavy-metal follow-up band for the Misfits’ former singer. But that changed when a live version of “Mother,” from the Ep Thrall: Demonsweatlive, became a video hit, and the group started gaining wider exposure.
Around that time, the band made a menacing appearance on The Jon Stewart Show — the host’s MTV talk show before he went to The Daily Show — and Danzig, the band and the man,...

When grunge slaughtered hair metal in the early Nineties, all that remained in its wake on hard-rock radio were a bunch of pity parties by singers who hated themselves and the world. And that’s pretty much how it’s been for the past quarter century. The majority of mainstream heavy hits in the past year have been about bad relationships (From Ashes to New’s “Crazy”), hating haters (Five Finger Death Punch’s “Sham Pain”), macho declarations about rising above existential bullshit (everything by Godsmack) and, oddly, rats (Ghost...

Despite what the likes of Tipper Gore and Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin might have you believe, movies don’t desensitize us to violence — violence desensitizes us to violence. It’s not because of “The Matrix” or “John Wick” (or whatever the scapegoat du jour) that bereaved teenagers have been forced to the front lines of America’s war of attrition against radical gun fetishists, it’s because nothing changed after Las Vegas, or Sandy Hook, or San Bernardino, or Sutherland Springs, or Orlando, or Aurora, or Virginia Tech, or Fort Hood, or Columbine, or any of the tens of thousands of other shooting deaths that have happened in this country between the ones we all know by name. It’s because every senseless death makes the next one that much more unreal — easier to believe but harder to imagine.
If anything, movies have the power to re-sensitize us to violence,...

Tipper Gore is back in the spotlight with a renewed mission to shatter the stigma surrounding mental illness.
Gore, the estranged wife of former Vice President Al Gore, announced on Tuesday that she’s made a $1 million donation to the National Alliance on Mental Illness to help expand its teen outreach program, The Washington Post reports.
The former second lady, 68, told the Post she plans to work with the organization to promote its “Ending the Silence” program, which aims to raise awareness and change perceptions around mental health conditions and help young people get the treatment they need.

George Michael may not have had a discography to rival his fellow peers like Madonna and Prince — he released only five studio albums as a solo artist; three with Wham! — but his influence on pop music is undeniable. He scored two Grammys, eight No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, four MTV VMAs, and sold more than an estimated 100 million records worldwide. With news that the boundary-pushing icon died Sunday at the age of 53, EW is looking back on just a few of the songs that made him so special.

Music icon Prince, who won multiple Grammy awards as well as an Oscar during his storied four-decade career, has died. He was 57.
According to TMZ, which first broke the news, Prince’s body was discovered at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota early Thursday.
Prince cancelled a pair of concerts in Atlanta earlier this month, citing the flu. A week later, his private jet had to make an emergency landing in Moline Ill., when he fell ill.

What, you didn't know Catherine Zeta-Jones covered "Hit Me With Your Best Shot"? Oscar winner Catherine Zeta-Jones turns 46 today, but we should really be celebrating her for another reason: that time she did her damn best to make "Rock of Ages" fun with a cover of "Hit Me With Your Best Shot." The year was 2012. We thought we were getting the Czj comeback we desperately deserved. But no. "Rock of Ages" was lame, and no one appreciated the "Chicago" actress' performance as an '80s-era, Tipper Gore-type objector to popular music. Below, you see why that is a crime. Happy birthday, Czj. "Fire and Ice" next, please. ...

Horror games have been around since the early 1970s. Let's take a look back at the birth of one of gaming's most popular genres...
More than 40 years since the first horror game hit arcades, the genre is still going strong. Why? For the same reasons that people still watch horror movies today – they are fun, and, on a deeper level, they tap into our shared fears about death and the unknown. Scary titles have been around since the birth of the video game industry.
We thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the most notable retro horror titles. Some of these will be as familiar to you as the hoodie you wrap around yourself to keep away the chill on brisk autumn nights.

Albert Gore, youngest child of former Vice President Al Gore and Tipper Gore, and Brittany Toscano were married Saturday in Washington, D.C.'s Union Station, with a reception taking place in the East Hall of the historic depot, a representative for the senior Gore tells People. The bride, 28, and groom, 31, live in New York City and first met as high-school students at Sidwell Friends in Washington, but did not begin dating until 2010, after reconnecting at a New Year's Eve party in the nation's capital.

Test Your Madonna Knowledge Against TheBacklot’s Louis Virtel On The YouTube Game Show “The Experts”
It feels bizarre to claim that I’m a Madonna expert when, really, casual fans of the 55-year-old Material Monarch can accidentally know everything about her too. Madonna’s history is pop history, so even if you’re a Radiohead fan or a sports junkie, you still might know that “Take A Bow” is Madonna’s biggest single and that Christopher Walken guest-stars in the “Bad Girl” video. (Though you might not know that Madonna’s cited inspiration for the “Bad Girl” video is Looking for Mr. Goodbar. Diane!)
Nonetheless, I’m the anointed “Madonna expert” on this week’s episode of The Experts, a YouTube game show that tests savants on a specific area of expertise and pits them against other geeks. I’m competing with a Batman expert and a Melrose Place expert, so whether you’re a dead-eyed Madonna zealot or a low-key Daphne Zuniga fan, there’s something here for you.

-- Until this summer, few people outside the R&B music scene knew who Robin Thicke was. Then came his new song "Blurred Lines" and an unrated online video to promote it.
"You the hottest b---- in this place!" Thicke sings, as topless models playfully dance around him.
The video has stirred a debate, with detractors complaining that it's too racy and degrading to women.
Thicke insists he meant no offense – and the song, meanwhile, has become the No. 1 hit of the summer.
Certainly in pop culture, pushing the limits of what's considered appropriate is hardly new. Back in the roaring 1920s, young women of the "flapper" generation raised eyebrows. In the 1950s, Elvis gyrated and caused a ruckus.
In the 1970s, comedian George Carlin joked about "The Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television," quickly listing them in a social commentary about the pitfalls of censorship.

The child of musicians (his mother was a singer, his father a bandleader), Prince (born June 7, 1958) was a precocious talent who had his first band at age 12 and, according to the notes to his second album, had learned to play 26 instruments before he was out of his teens. In fact, he made his first album as a teenager. He'd signed to Warner Brothers, which he picked because it was the only label that contractually agreed to let him self-produce. That's a pretty ballsy demand for a teenager to make; by comparison, the great Stevie Wonder only achieved that degree of production control after over a decade of being micromanaged by Motown. On that debut, For You, Prince plays and sings every note).
Until he began feuding with Warner Brothers in the '90s over how frequently he would be allowed to release albums, Prince was achieving Top 10 hits with regularity...

There’s a lot of talk these days about the increased visibility of queer folk on TV. And while this is certainly true, there is one woman who repped lady love on mainstream TV way back when, back before any state had marriage equality, before Glee was even a glimmer in Ryan Murphy’s eye, even before Ilene Chaiken.
And that woman is Roseanne, y’all.
Gayer shows and characters may have come our way since Roseanne went off the air in 1997, but no one has covered both feminism and queerness in such blue collar realness since, and I worry no one else ever will. Lest we ever forget its greatness, here are my Top 5 Lesbian Moments of Roseanne

Nooooooooooo! There is probably no other couple on the planet we would be more horrified to learn are splitting up. This is like Al and Tipper Gore all over again! Despite embodying all our hopes and dreams about “having it all” and “being an amazing comedy duo as well as sensual lovers at the same time,” Amy Poehler and Will Arnett are getting divorced after nine years of marriage. Their rep confirmed the suprising news to People, though we struggle to understand how he or she got the announcement out in between all their choking sobs.
We guess we would be less stunned by the news if we had any inclination that the Parks And Rec star and spouse were having trouble. Someone needs to consult their publicists for tips on how to keep a celeb’s private life on lock. The marriage was Amy’s first, and Arnett’s...

"ParaNorman" tells the story of Norman Babcock, a horror-movie obsessed outcast who doesn't fit in with the other kids at school. But what they don't know is that Norman can communicate with ghosts -- and his ability to speak with the undead is the only thing that can save his little town of Blithe Hollow. So when a vengeful witch unleashes a zombie plague on the community, Norman must use his spectral back-up to defeat the witch... or else lurching zombies will munch down on his friends and family. "ParaNorman" is the second film from Laika Animation (the team that brought you the Academy Award-nominated "Coraline"), a studio that aims to tell a different kind of story, away from the typical Disney fare. Moviefone had an in-depth conversation with "Norman" directors Chris Butler and Sam Fell about why kids love horror movies, the renaissance of stop-motion animation and how "ParaNorman...
