Heidi, Charli, and Marc D’Amelio. Nepotism babies have existed since time immemorial. Nepotism parents? They’re a more recent phenomenon. No technological development has made sudden, extreme fame more attainable than YouTube and TikTok, which has launched the careers of tens of thousands of micro-celebs. Hoping to emulate their pre-social-media forebears, from Dina and Michael Lohan to momager-in-chief Kris Jenner, the next generation of influencer nepotism parents is just as comfortable in front of a camera as its progenitors.

Michelle Wolf. As it goes with literally every single White House Correspondents’ Dinner, a headlining comedian capped off the evening with some jokes — some people liked the jokes, or some people really didn’t like the jokes. Daily Show contributor Michelle Wolf had the honor of making everyone giggle uncomfortably this year, and as expected, her set is divisive among attendees and viewers, with the main point of contention being the remarks she made about Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Roxana Hadadi is a TV critic who also writes about film and pop culture, with the closed captions on and motion smoothing off.

Saul Williams’s Afrofuturist, anti-colonialist film is a mission statement by way of a musical. Neptune Frost is a mission statement by way of a musical, and its defining image is a middle finger taking up the whole lens.

The court of internet opinion is in session, and in the case of best Halloween group costume we rule in favor of The New Girl cast for their spot-on take on The People v. O.J. Simpson. Though Fox will not be airing a special October-31-themed episode of the sitcom owing to the World Series schedule, the costumes will appear in a Christmas-centric flashback episode that will air later this year.

“It’s really gross how often you talk about high school,” says a wise character in the Zoey 102 trailer. Jamie Lynn Spears reprises her role as Zoey Brooks, a now-30-year-old millennial who thinks her adult life pales in comparison to what she envisioned for herself as a teenager at the show’s boarding school, Pacific Coast Academy, in the upcoming film continuation of the series Zoey 101. When fellow alumni Quinn Pensky (Erin Sanders) and Logan Reese (Matthew Underwood) ask Zoey to be maid of honor at their wedding — via futurist PearPhone Pro — she’s in crisis.

Outlander is already being positioned as a feminist answer to Game of Thrones, but I don’t see much resemblance other than the fact that it’s on pay cable, is based on a series of best-selling fantasy novels, and many of its characters ride horses and swing swords. This new Starz drama from Ronald D. Moore is, like his brilliant and sometimes infuriating reimagining of Battlestar Galactica, defiantly its own thing: part romance-novel fantasy, part time-travel story, and part wartime drama (set across two time periods).

This article contains spoilers for the series finale of Justified. Justified finished its six-season run last night not with the explosion-filled deathfest some came to expect, but rather with an explosion-filled survivalfest. (When Boyd Crowder has dynamite, Boyd Crowder will use dynamite, thank you.) The episode was filled with callbacks and allusions, which crystallized the sense of completion and conclusion that any finale would aspire to. Now Justified joins the hallowed ranks of former FX dramas — as good a lineup as one can picture, really; HBO has more duds, Showtime fewer hits.

Rob Reiner and Morgan Freeman. After working together on The Bucket List, Morgan Freeman and director Rob Reiner are back again with another feel-good family movie about finally living your life just as it’s coming to a close in The Magic of Belle Isle. Freeman plays an irascible writer named Monte Wildhorn, who hides out on Belle Isle one summer after his wife dies, determined just to drink his life away, only to find new inspiration when he’s no longer looking for it.
