Modern reality TV’s lineage can, in many ways, be traced back to Susunu! Denpa Shōnen, a 1998-2002 Japanese game show that made international headlines for its outrageous premise and dubious format. On the program, young aspiring comedian Tomoaki Hamatsu—known as Nasubi (i.e., eggplant)—was placed in a largely barren room, stripped of his clothes and personal belongings, and told that he could only leave once he’d accumulated $1 million yen’s worth of prizes earned from magazine mail-in sweepstakes.

The members of Canada’s chart-topping, arena-filling Nickelback—Chad Kroeger (vocals, guitar), his brother Mike Kroeger (bass), Ryan Peake (guitar) and Daniel Adair (drums)—come across as nice, thoughtful guys in Hate to Love: Nickelback. Nonetheless, Leigh Brooks’ documentary knows that they’re also arguably the most reviled foursome in rock ‘n’ roll, and it isn’t afraid to address that state of affairs. Unfortunately, as an authorized project primarily designed to celebrate rather than investigate... Читать дальше...

Ahead of the release of Netflix’s live-action adaptation of One Piece, fans anticipated what the possible consequences would be if the series was actually, miraculously good. There could be an increased One Piece fanbase (more nakama!), bigger and more fan events coming stateside, or simply a second season—itself a win, considering the legacy of the anime. Waves upon waves of viral thirst videos featuring a man whose clown nose is his actual, biological nose was perhaps not on many fans’ bingo cards. Читать дальше...

There’s a special feeling when you watch a movie, suspended in disbelief and overwhelmed by a single thought: How on Earth did this get made? That’s not an insult, mind you—I’m speaking of the kind of movie that’s so incredibly out there, so bold and outrageous, that you can’t imagine someone actually getting the money to make it. The newest member of that distinctive club is A24’s first foray into musicals, appropriately titled Dicks: The Musical. Based on the play Fucking Identical Twins by Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp (who co-star)... Читать дальше...

If you’ve caught any of Ahsoka, Disney+’s latest Star Wars series, you’ve likely already heard the name Thrawn. In the show, somebody name drops the mysterious villain every five minutes—which doesn’t make for the most compelling viewing, but it does make Ahsoka one of the most important series for the franchise’s near future.

One of the freshest, most consistently entertaining original comedy series in recent memory has arrived—so of course it’s not American-made (and it’s not animated either!). While there have been a few decent new entries into the comedy genre stateside, most of them suffer from the same recurring problem: the need to appeal to the wide range of demographics and comedic tastes across the country at once, if they want to survive. Few can do this successfully... Читать дальше...

Studio Ghibli

TORONTO—Hayao Miyazaki has long been one of cinema's most revered filmmakers. A pioneer of animation, Miyazaki has spent nearly 40 years at the forefront of Studio Ghibli, turning it from a plucky upstart to one of the most legendary—if not the most legendary—animation studios in the world. His career has been nothing short of staggering, delivering bonafide masterpieces like Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Princess Mononoke over his multi-decade career. That’s why animation fans... Читать дальше...

Ben Shapiro—the pugnacious right-wing commentator famous for “DESTROYING” college undergrads in debates, slamming his political opponents with a wide variety of vicious labels, and his long-pinned tweet about facts not caring about your feelings—thinks the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is being super mean to Elon Musk. He also thinks the billionaire is “correct” in his belief that he’s being defamed by the nonprofit.
