Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth are ready to hit the road in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The two star in the epic prequel to franchise director George Miller’s Oscar-winning 2015 hit Mad Max: Fury Road, which follows the titular character in the roughly two decades leading up to her becoming the Imperator Furiosa. In Entertainment Weekly's cover story on the film, Miller, Taylor-Joy, Hemsworth, and fellow costar Tom Burke open up about their plunge into the Wasteland and reveal what audiences can expect from the latest descent into madness.

Incoming 10th grader Jin Wang (Ben Wang) hopes to "get on another level" socially this year. His plan: Focus a little less on comics and manga, get a spot on the junior varsity soccer team, maybe land a date with Amelia (Sydney Taylor), the cute girl in his biology class. "I just want to be a regular guy who does regular things," he says. But in American Born Chinese — the extraordinarily fun and uplifting new action-comedy from Kelvin Yu (Bob's Burgers) — the world won't let Jin forget that he's not like every other kid at Sierra Mona high school.

I have, over the years, sat through more than my share of overly hyped, all-slash-and-no-fun reboots of famous horror-film franchises. There was the new Jason, the new Michael Myers, and the new Leatherface — all lackluster knockoffs of the originals (and, yes, I’m including Rob Zombie’s Halloween in that litany of disappointments). The new relaunch of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, though, gave me good reason to be pumped. It’s not every day that one of our rogues’ gallery of iconic psycho killers gets to be played by a creepy and fascinating actor — in this case, Jackie Earle Haley taking on the role of Freddy Krueger, that burnt-to-a-crisp scarecrow of a madman.

He has a burned, hideously scarred face, skin covered in cysts and boils. Yellow eyes glare over a crooked nose. A fiendish grin exposes rotten teeth. He's bone-thin, leans sideways, and wears a torn red-and-green-striped sweater and brown fedora. His trademark right-hand glove is made of leather, bolts, and sheet metal with knives as fingers. Cackling, lurking in the dark, he cuts into the flesh of his victims in their sleep.

There are few places in the world where one can share their innermost dreams, dish out some seriously scandalous gossip, and leave feeling more beautiful and confident than when they initially entered. Jaja's African Hair Braiding — the fictional, eponymous salon at the epicenter of Jocelyn Bioh's new comedy, now playing at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre — is one of them. The Ghanaian-American playwright (School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play) and director Whitney White (Our Dear Dead Drug Lord) have teamed up with producers Taraji P.

Last night, the cult favorite Eureka began a new season, and Haven, based on a Stephen King novel, debuted. These two Syfy series are more fantasy than sci-fi, and had contrasting tones. Haven took a government-agent-plus-unexplained-phenomena approach. The FBI’s Audrey Parker (Emily Rose) came to Maine to investigate a murder. She found much more in the tiny town of Haven. Aside from cute local law enforcement in the form of police detective Nathan Wuornos (Lucas Bryant), she encountered a genial, slightly sinister fellow played by Eric Balfour (aside from 24, will this frequently-cast TV actor ever land in another hit?

Newly elected New Jersey state senator Taissa Turner (Tawny Cypress) snaps awake in the front seat of her car. Confused and disoriented, she grabs her phone and looks at the pulsing dot on her GPS, which hovers silently on a road she doesn't recognize. Twenty-five years earlier, Tai's teammate and fellow plane crash survivor Nat (Sophie Thatcher) returns from a hunt with a drawing scribbled on the back of a history quiz.

Warning: This post contains spoilers from the third and final season of A Series of Unfortunate Events. Read at your own risk! Since Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events began, Patrick Warburton's dutiful narrator Lemony Snicket has warned that the tragic story of the Baudelaire orphans wouldn't have a happy ending, which turned out to be only partially true in the third and final season. Sure, Violet (Malina Weissman), Klaus (Louis Hynes), and Sunny Baudelaire (Presley Smith) probably didn't live happily ever after, but the series' conclusion was far from miserable.

The No. 1 album in the country this week is IV, the fourth album from rock outfit Godsmack, and with that album’s first single, ”Speak,” the band also set a record for the most top 10 active-rock singles ever: 13, besting Metallica, Creed, Foo Fighters, Nickelback… the list goes on. We spoke (ha!) with frontman Sully Erna to get the lowdown on the Boston-based band’s past, present, and future. There was a period from around 1998 to 2002 where all these nü-metal bands — you guys, Staind, Disturbed — kind of bled together for a while, but Godsmack just kept going when it seems like some of those bands disappeared.

There's a general idea in show business that January is where movies go to die, a dumpster month for studios looking to quietly burn off the cursed and broken projects still lingering in last year's outbox. The fact that The 355 has landed there twice now (it was originally scheduled for release at the start of 2021, then delayed for COVID) fits pretty neatly into that narrative: Why else would a big-budget action film starring a cadre of internationally famous actresses slink so quietly into the post-holiday wasteland?
