Following the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, more than 300 historians and constitutional scholars signed an open letter calling for the impeachment and removal of President Trump.

This Shameless review contains spoilers.

Parents at Horizon Elementary School in Murray, Utah, were upset last month when a teacher read the book Call Me Max to her third-grade class. The book, written by transgender author Kyle Lukoff, is about a transgender boy who teaches his classmates and teacher about his identity. The book was brought to class by a
This article contains WandaVision spoilers. As much as we love it, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has never been great about telling complex emotional stories. Perhaps that’s understandable, as the franchise’s various Avengers must regularly wrestle with potentially world-ending stakes and still somehow save the day, all within a two-and-a-half-hour theatrical runtime.

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. In an already odd show, the commercials on WandaVision take an extra step into weirdness. While we know it’s part of the sitcom-within-a-show premise and is seen by those able to watch it, nobody has actually acknowledged or questioned them. Each one feels like part of the era the episode

This Clarice review contains spoilers. Clarice Episode 1 Clarice, episode 1, “The Silence is Over,” is a fairly literate title. It is set shortly after the events in the film The Silence of the Lambs, in the period when most agents should be reflecting on such an emotionally trying case. Especially since the agent, who
