The disintegration of the partnership between Woody Allen and Mia Farrow is the focus of the new four-part docuseries Allen v. Farrow, which aired its first episode on Sunday, February 21st. The third, and penultimate episode, aired March 7th on HBO. The docuseries goes caustically in-depth about the sexual abuse allegations levied against Allen by their adopted daughter Dylan Farrow — and, to a lesser extent, Allen’s affair with another of Mia’s adopted daughters, Soon-Yi Previn — as well as the aftermath of the bitter and public custody battle on...

Two months after Netflix’s acclaimed Lupin — a modern-day retelling of the famed master thief of literature — ended on a cliffhanger, the streaming service has shared the first teaser for the second half of the French series’ first season. Without spoiling the first half, the trailer for the second installment picks up where that aforementioned cliffhanger left off, with Assane (played by Omar Sy) thrust into a role that’s more Taken than thievery as he seeks final vengeance for a decades-old injustice. Fans of Lupin will have to wait...

A review of the WandaVision finale coming up just as soon as I say that debriefs are for the weak… Yesterday, I wrote an essay praising WandaVision for leaning into its existence as a television show, rather than a Marvel Cinematic Universe film drawn out to fill up nine episodes. With an episode aptly titled “The Series Finale,” WandaVision concludes very much in MCU territory, a bit for good and more for ill. It’s not just that we’ve long since left the sitcom conceit behind(*), but that the bulk of...

This story contains full spoilers for the first season of WandaVision so far. As a comic book character, Wanda Maximoff has an origin story too convoluted to get into here. As a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she has an origin that can be boiled down to a simple idea: She is a child of television. Last week’s penultimate episode of Disney+’s WandaVision flashed back to our heroine’s younger years. While their native country of Sokovia is ravaged by war, the Maximoffs are a happy and tight-knit unit, gathering...

HBO Max has dropped the teaser trailer for Made for Love, a dark comedy series heading to the streaming service in April. Based on the minute-long preview, the series is a romantic comedy with a Black Mirror twist: Cristin Milioti’s character Hazel Green falls in love with a tech billionaire (Billy Magnussen) who, ultimately, implants a high-tech surveillance chip in her brain, resulting in her losing grip on reality. Hazel’s attempts to flee the relationship are sabotaged by the chip, which follows and captures her every move while tracking “emotional...

Abigail Cowen has always been drawn to magic, which explains her previous role as Dorcas on The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Now she stars in Fate: The Winx Saga, based on the Nickelodeon animated series and developed by Brian Young. “I loved the balance of real-life scenarios and situations and how Brian did such a great job of portraying these young women,” she tells Rolling Stone‘s The Breakdown. She compares the magical boarding school her character Bloom attends to Hogwarts. “It’s where you learn to master these powers,” she explains. “Guys...

Seven years ago, Rolling Stone interviewed Real World co-creator Jonathan Murray about the newest season of the groundbreaking MTV reality show. At the end, we ran an idea past him: “ back to that original cast in New York, it would be nice to see something with them again. Maybe put them all back into a loft for a week.” He was a little skeptical. “I don’t know doing it that way is best, and I’m not sure they’d be willing to do it,” he said at the time. “I’m...

Neil deGrasse Tyson cut to the chase and explained how the Earth and the universe will end during an interview with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show Tuesday, March 2nd. The topics are something Tyson explores in his new book, Cosmic Queries: StarTalk’s Guide to Who We Are, How We Got Here, and Where We’re Going. The scientist quickly ran through the well-known process by which the Earth will cease to exist — sun expands, oceans boil, atmosphere evaporates into space, Earth becomes charred ember that descends into center of...

The Queen’s Gambit’s Thomas Brodie-Sangster will portray Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren and Westworld’s Talulah Riley will play punk design icon Vivienne Westwood in Pistol, the Danny Boyle-directed FX limited series about the Sex Pistols. The latest cast additions also include Christian Lees — who previously played Jerry Lee Lewis in the Sun Records series — in the role of Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock and actress Iris Law, in her screen debut, as punk icon Soo Catwoman. With the series now in production, Rolling Stone also presents the first...

Jimmy Fallon and John Legend marked the inexplicable return of March and the one-year anniversary of the Covid-19 quarantine with a new parody song, “March Again,” on The Tonight Show Monday, March 1st. The tune spoofs “Belle,” the opening number from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, and finds Fallon recounting the monotony of life in lockdown: Endless Zoom meetings, moving from one end of the couch to the other, learning TikTok dances, and buying and trying to return a never-used exercise bike. Legend appears halfway through, offering a peek into...

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler said it all as they kicked off the 2021 Golden Globes: “Could this whole night have been an email? Yes.” This was the Zoom edition of the Globes: Tina was in New York’s Rainbow Room, Poehler was in L.A. at the Beverly Hilton. But unfortunately, that takes a toll on the whole point of this gala, which is cramming a Hollywood hotel room full of stars, plying them with free booze, and letting hilarity ensue. As the hosts quipped last night, it’s always a tipsy...
