The Boys are back in town, and they're still absolutely covered in blood
You can say a lot of things about the wide array of sociopathic superheroes, anti-heroes, and just plain old psychopaths populating the comic book universe of Amazon’s The Boys , but you can’t call them lazy.

In AI Dungeon 2, You Can Do Anything--Even Start A Rock Band Made Of Skeletons
Plenty of games offer players multiple solutions to problems. Fight or talk. Stick to the beaten path or explore. Stealth or charge in like a conspicuously bullet-resistant idiot. A game that lets you do anything, though? That’s harder to come by.
Released yesterday, AI Dungeon 2 purports to be one such game, and for the most part, I’ve found it to be true. Like its name implies, it’s an...

Forget Satan, Have You Met Evil's Most Evil Character?
CBS’s Evil has become one of this fall’s most pleasant surprises—if you can apply “pleasant” to a show that examines the very worst of humanity: serial killers, child murderers, racist doctors, people who produce fake “ghost hunter” TV shows, etc. But the worst of the worst prize goes to one character: Leland Townsend.
Tweedy and bespectacled, Leland (played by Michael Emerson, who is...

The 2020 Fiat 124, An 'Italian-Designed, Fun-To-Drive' Car, Lives For Now

Little Joe puts a creepily mundane art-house spin on Invasion Of The Body Snatchers
Sixty-four years later, the premise of Jack Finney’s sci-fi allegory The Body Snatchers still packs a nightmarish wallop. It’s why they keep making movies, officially and unofficially, from its blueprint: No matter the era or the symbolic function, the pod people remain a potent expression of universal anxiety—that nagging fear that those in your life have changed somehow, and maybe that...
