The Trailer for Freddie Mercury Biopic Bohemian Rhapsody Will Rock You

Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury in biopic & Queen movie Bohemian Rhapsody
Was it really only months ago, in the fall of 2017, when the first image of Rami Malek as Queen lead singer/absolute legend Freddie Mercury blew us all away? It feels like forever ago, not just because of how time seems to have come to a standstill lately, but because, while Malek certainly looked the part, we were all waiting to see if he would sound it, with the movie's appropriately unique approach to capturing Mercury's unique voice.

In Supergirl’s “Shelter From the Storm,” Lies Are Everyone’s Kryptonite

Supergirl -- "Shelter From the Storm" Pictured: Odette Annable as Samantha Arias/Reign -- © 2018 The CW Network, LLC. All rights reserved.
This week's Supergirl is all about protecting Ruby from a Reign who's determined to claim Sam by killing "her heart." It's also all about lies: the lies we tell each other when our relationships are strained, and the lies we tell to protect each other. Episode 18 of the season examines the idea that lying to those we care about never ends well, whether well-intended and "for good reason," or not. [**SPOILERS AHOY**]

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was by no means a sure bet for renewal at ABC, but the show squeaked by under the ax and will be returning!

This “Feminist” Comedy Take on Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” Is Peak White Feminism

YouTube comedienne Nicole Arbour must have missed all the attention she got the last time she created a video based on ignorance. Back in 2015, she made this fat-shaming video that demonstrated that she clearly didn't know how things like "comedy" and "satire" work. Now, she's released a new video demonstrating how little she understands about "feminism" and "parody."

A Farewell to the Under-Appreciated Last Man on Earth

last man on earth cast
The Last Man on Earth is a show so profoundly weird that it almost defies description. Even its title was no longer accurate after the pilot. The show eventually stopped being about a guy trying to get laid in the apocalypse, and instead became a strange, sad, fart-joke-laden meditation on the nature of isolation and loss.

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery Would Be a Great Game If It Weren’t Impossible to Play

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery Mobile Game
If you're not willing to spend a ton of money, it takes multiple hours to finish a task that has at most a couple of minutes of simple gameplay. It's incredibly frustrating. Even worse, it's boring.

The “Dead Lesbian” Trope and the Subversiveness of NBC’s Timeless

With "The Watergate Tape," the show that had spent its first five episodes upholding the white, male historical narrative began to subvert it, which it's been doing wonderfully ever since.
