Andrew McCarthy reunited with his St. Elmo's Fire costar Emilio Estevez for the first time in nearly four decades for his Hulu documentary Brats. In it, the two revealed that the fallout from the Brat Pack label of the 1980s led to the demise of a future onscreen collaboration. An insightful exploration of the label coined by New York Magazine reporter David Blum in his 1985 profile of a young Estevez, Brats dissects the deep discomfort felt by the young stars at the center of the label, including Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Rob Lowe, and Demi Moore.

For more than 20 years, it was almost impossible to turn on a television without seeing these four words: "Created by Susan Harris." Between 1975 and 1998, Harris was one of TV's most prolific writers, creating 13 comedies, including the trailblazing cult hit Soap, the future pop culture paradigm known as The Golden Girls, and the long-running family sitcom Empty Nest. Along with mentor Norman Lear, Harris and her brand of bold, brainy comedy brought the sitcom into the modern era — and she did it all at a time when women were barely represented in the room, let alone seated at the head of the table.

At the height of Disney Renaissance in the 1990s, Disney’s animation studios were churning out hit after animated musical hit, from Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin to The Lion King and Mulan. Soon, every studio in Hollywood wanted a piece of the animated action, and while some efforts soared (like Anastasia), others fell flat (remember Quest for Camelot and The Swan Princess?). In the middle of that rush, Warner Bros.

Some songs will always be associated with the TV shows that used them as sound cues. The O.C. made Imogen Heap’s “Hide and Seek” meme fodder for Saturday Night Live while many will forever associate Anna Nalick’s “Breathe (2AM)” with the image of Meredith grasping a bomb housed in someone’s body on Grey’s Anatomy. These are shows that became known for using new, relevant music to an unprecedented artistic effect — and now, The Bold Type has a good chance of joining their ranks.

Actress Hannah Fierman admits she had mixed feelings when writer-director David Bruckner (The Signal) approached her about a playing a mysterious, ferocious, and at times completely clothes-free, lady-monster in his “Amateur Night” segment of the 2012 horror anthology, V/H/S. “I was a little iffy,” she recalls. “You know, somebody comes up to you and says, ‘Hey, want to be a naked demon girl in my movie?’ It’s like, Gosh, do I?

This small act of sisterhood is as familiar in an everyday context as it is surprising in the DC Extended Universe. It's one of the many ways that Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) differs from its superhero movie forebears: It not only stars women, it was made by them, too. "There's more women in front [of] and behind the camera than any movie I'd worked on, which is pretty incredible,"

The only thing certain right now is uncertainty — and if you happen to run an independent bookstore, that rings perhaps even more true. With less time for socializing and cultural events outside the home, it should be a great time for books (unless you’re simply too stressed and unable to focus on reading — in which case, we understand). But that doesn’t necessarily translate to being a great time for bookstores who are closing their doors and being asked to re-think their business in fundamental ways.

Intergalactic rom-com, art-school goof, Earth Boys Are Easy: It’s hard to know exactly how to categorize How to Talk to Girls at Parties — a problem that director and co-writer John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) seemed to have in the movie’s execution too, though he does it with so much determinedly daffy charm, he almost pulls it off. Based on a Neil Gaiman short story of the same name, the narrative opens on Enn (Alex Sharp) and his two best friends — restless schoolboys who spend their considerable spare time wandering the teenage-wasteland streets of outer-borough London circa 1977, constantly in search of the elusive, perfect punk-rock moment.

It's a short list of activities that are borderline essential to Thanksgiving: turkey, family, football, and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  The annual tradition is back again in 2023 and we've pulled together everything you need to know to ensure the parade is a part of your Thanksgiving festivities. The full parade lineup reads like a bloated "12 Days of Christmas," minus the numerical consistency. This year, Macy's will give you 30 floats, 29 clown crews, 25 balloons, 17 musical performances, 9 marching bands, 6 Balloonicles (balloons on wheels), and 1 Cher.

It just wouldn't be Thanksgiving without Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!
