Do you feel like we, as a society, have had our fill of the Friends reunion? Well, too bad! The Late Late Show with James Corden gave us one more sliver of Friends content with a Carpool Karaoke in which the cast sang their own theme song. …Read the full story

Every few weeks for the foreseeable future, Vulture will be selecting one film to watch as part of our Friday Night Movie Club.

In the final 15 minutes of Make Happy, the 2016 special from stand-up and singer-songwriter Bo Burnham, the Massachusetts native appears to figure his whole thing out: “I try to make my show about other things, but it always ends up being about performing.” What follows is a quick riff on millennials and performance, how […]

Vin Diesel sent the entertainment-news cycle into overdrive last week with his revelation that the next two installments of the Fast and Furious franchise — let’s call them Fas10 and Furious 11 — will pull the emergency brake once and for all on the 20-year-old, $5.4-billion-grossing hot-rod saga. This, of course, won’t be the first […]

For three seasons now, The Handmaid’s Tale has been building up to one central question: How will June get her revenge? Moss has been ramping up the character’s long stares and twisted smiles. And the symmetry was beautifully designed: the former handmaids arranged in a perfect circle around him, just as they’d been trained to […]

It’s sort of like putting a podcast on 2x speed to just plow through it, or putting your pinky in your partner’s booty button so they’ll just blow their load and you can roll over and just get yourself some sleep already. Is that the legacy she thinks her grandmother wants? As Heather says, she […]

As Flowers tells it, Springsteen texted him right before COVID-19 shut down live performances, and a disbelieving Flowers had to text Springsteen’s son to “get verification that the number really is coming from his old man.” Flowers goes on to explain that “A Dustland Fairytale” was originally written in the middle of his mother’s illness […]

The lawsuit alleges that Mannion, who shot the cover of Jay-Z’s debut album, Reasonable Doubt, “exploited” Jay-Z’s name and image “without consent.” Further, the lawsuit claims that Mannion uses images of Jay-Z on his website in addition to selling prints of the rapper for thousands of dollars, without Jay-Z’s consent. Jay-Z, according to the lawsuit, […]

Then Allison walks into the kitchen and this trope-y world abruptly transforms. Suddenly, she’s in what appears to be a single-camera drama along the lines of Better Call Saul or Barry. That last action is a metaphor for what Allison will attempt to do in the first, fascinating season of Kevin Can F**k Himself: destroy […]

This week, Entertainment Weekly is celebrating the 15th anniversary of The Devil Wears Prada’s release with a look back at the 2006’s fashion-world comedy, part of which asks the film’s screenwriter, Aline Brosh McKenna, to imagine where Prada’s protagonists, first conceived in author Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel, might be a decade and a half later. […]

When a horrified Isabel asks Victor, “what excuse could you possibly have for doing that in my house?” with Adrian sleeping in the next room, Benji tries to defend their actions, insisting that she wouldn’t have reacted like this if she had caught Victor with a girl. To Isabel and Armando’s surprise, Adrian, who knows […]

After Benji’s posh mother secretly invites him to a fancy birthday dinner, Victor, despite having no idea what “cozy chic” means, could not be more excited, but his fashion sense … could use a little work. When Benji apologizes, explaining that he didn’t want Victor to think of him as an alcoholic, Victor wants to […]

When we celebrate Pink Floyd, we’re envisioning the years where Roger Waters and Syd Barrett made plush, trippy music about mental breakdowns, not the too-neat, conspicuously well-named, post-Rog ’80s nadir A Momentary Lapse of Reason; we don’t speak of Squeeze, the Velvet Underground album Doug Yule wrote after Lou Reed and John Cale left, the […]

So I was about as shocked as Victor, the show’s chirpy, newly out high-school protagonist, when he notices a squishy plastic cylinder lying on top of his more experienced boyfriend’s wallet when they go off to a cabin for the weekend. In its framing, the show’s depiction of Victor’s coming out pushed against Love, Simon’s […]

When Victor Salazar decided to come out to his parents on the night of his first Spring Fling at Creekwood High School, he let out a major sigh of relief that could be felt as much as it could be heard. But, Victor assures, the summer is not a complete bust. Since his mom is […]

And in this version, they wind up somewhere they couldn’t go onstage: at the public pool, where word about the winning ticket starts to spread like spray from a cannonball. There’s a dream ballet trip from Cuba to America in the 1940s for the song “Paciencia Y Fe” and a Fred-and-Ginger moment in “Before the […]
