Stay Through the Credits

Danny Boyle and James Graham team up for "Ink," a flashy, theatrical look at how Rupert Murdoch and editor Larry Lamb turned "The Sun" into a tabloid juggernaut. We break down Jack O'Connell and Guy Pearce's electric performances, why the film's second half loses steam, and whether this story of ambition and moral rot has real awards season legs.

We're kicking off our Venice Film Festival 2026 coverage with the Horizons section opener, "The Girl With the Leica," a genre bending look at Gerda Taro, the photojournalist whose work helped create the legend of "Robert Capa." We dig into the film's collage style blend of drama and archival footage, Emilia Schüle's performance, and why this festival opener might be the sleeper standout of the whole lineup.

FX's "Adults" stumbled through a rocky first season, but Season 2 course-corrects hard. We talk about the new "Marathon Day" origin episode, the show's evolving love triangle between Paul Baker, Anton, and Issa, and why leaning into classic sitcom tropes actually saves this one. "Adults" Season 2 is streaming now on Hulu.

Fall TV is stacked, and we're breaking down the 28 shows we're most excited about. Zoe Kazan reimagines Steinbeck with Florence Pugh in "East of Eden," Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer head to "Blade Runner: 2099," and "Yellowjackets" wraps up its final season. Plus: Mike Flanagan tackles "Carrie," Tommy Lee Jones and Betty Gilpin join "The Lowdown" Season 2, and Jon Hamm goes hostage-drama in "American Hostage." We rank what's actually worth clearing your schedule for this fall.

Fall movie season is loaded, and we're breaking down the 54 titles we can't wait for. From Denis Villeneuve closing out his "Dune" trilogy and Tom Cruise going full arthouse with Iñárritu's "Digger," to Cannes standouts like "Fjord" and "La Bola Negra" finally hitting theaters, plus "Avengers: Doomsday," Laika's "Wildwood," and Robert Eggers' werewolf epic "Werwulf." We rank our most-anticipated picks and tell you what's actually worth the ticket.

HBO's new DC drama "Lanterns" wears its influences right on its sleeve, from "Watchmen" to "True Detective" to "Friday Night Lights." We break down why Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre's mismatched-partner dynamic works so well, how the show digs into race and the burden of "earning" a Green Lantern ring, and why all those familiar reference points might be holding it back from becoming something distinctly its own.

We're counting down our list of the 100 greatest sequels ever made, and the choices are wild in the best way. We dig into how "Magic Mike XXL" landed the top spot over "The Godfather Part II," why "2046" and "The Last Jedi" made the cut, and the rules we set for ourselves (and immediately broke) to define what counts as a sequel in the first place. From Kurosawa to Kieślowski to "Jackass Forever," this is a list built to start arguments.

Dominic Sessa's turn as young Anthony Bourdain in "Tony" is a genuine star-making performance. We dig into Matt Johnson's kitchen-set biopic, set during Bourdain's real 1975 summer in Provincetown, and talk about why it works as both an origin story and a coming-of-age gut punch. Plus: Antonio Banderas as the mysterious Chef, Emilia Jones as the girl he can't have, and why this might be the best Linklater movie Linklater never made.

Tom Holland delivers his most emotionally raw Peter Parker yet, grieving Aunt May, aching over a MJ who doesn't remember him, and fighting a mind hopping villain who might be the franchise's most human yet. We talk Ruffalo's Hulk cameo, that secret Avengers and X Men crossover everyone will be buzzing about, and whether "Brand New Day" finally proves less can be more after the multiverse chaos of "No Way Home."

Barbera drops his Lido lineup and it's stacked — McDonagh's back with Malkovich and Rockwell in Chile, Zeller pairs Bardem and Cruz for a doomsday thriller, and Boyle opens the fest with Guy Pearce as Murdoch. Oh, and Oasis has a documentary. We break down the buzziest titles, the wildest premises, and who's actually walking away with the Golden Lion.
