Eric Andre. Over a decade ago, Eric Andre was still an up-and-coming stand-up when he saw Cops on the TV at the gym and couldn’t believe that the show, which glamorized the police to the point of being essentially propaganda, was still on the air. So he wrote a joke about how gross the show was and the incongruence of its reggae theme song. What he couldn’t have imagined — or what he probably hoped wouldn’t be the case — is that all these years later, as he’s set to release his first hour-long comedy special Legalize Everything on Netflix on June 23, the joke would still be relevant.

The Lobster; The Batman; Alexander; Miami Vice. This article has been updated with Farrell’s most recent performances, including The Batman and The Banshees of Inisherin. Colin Farrell is burdened with one of the great faces among modern leading men: pleading eyes that can be romantic one minute, cold as ice the next; a pursed mouth that can speak to his lostness or his anger, depending on the situation.

The Fifty Shades franchise has given us so much — the rise of bored icon Dakota Johnson, hours of footage of Jamie Dornan’s best confused/acting face, a vision of life in a wealthy Seattle that’s actually Vancouver — but more than anything, it has delivered a lot of sex to the multiplex. By “a lot,” I’m simply referring to quantity, and by “sex,” I mean scenes in which two adults mimic the activities of humans engaging in intercourse, but with better mood lighting and a slowed-down pop song in the background.

Four years ago, Taylor Jenkins Reid released her best-selling #BookTok sensation Daisy Jones & the Six, and ever since then, fans have been eager to know what the music made by her titular fictional rock band would actually sound like. Finally, we have an answer, thanks to Prime Video’s ten-episode adaptation. The series, which stars Riley Keough, tells the story of the titular band, a fictional rock group loosely inspired by Fleetwood Mac and the making of their seminal 1977 album Rumours.

The Shining. This story originally ran in 2017 and has been updated to reflect recent releases. Stephen King’s work has been adapted so many times — sometimes by King himself — that it’s impossible to find a single unifying thread in all of the film adaptations. Sure, a lot of them are horror (certainly a lot of the worst are horror), but that’s largely because the boom period for King movies was the 1980s, when he was known solely as a horror writer.

RIP Syd-Carmy. We never knew you. Some fans of the FX on Hulu show The Bear have a sickness that no kind of medicine can cure. Symptoms include editing fan-cams of characters Sydney and Carmy to desperate Taylor Swift love songs, writing romantic fanfic about the pair, and making enough noise about the ship online that the cast and the crew have no choice but to acknowledge the delusion.

On Certified, the Boy’s truest loves are family, wealth, and self. The first sound heard on Certified Lover Boy, the sixth studio album by Canadian hip-hop heavyweight Drake, is a sliver of the 1965 Beatles song “Michelle” (as performed by Chicago vocal group the Singers Unlimited, as sampled by Virginia R&B star Masego in his 2017 track “Navajo”). If you follow the lore, you know the Boy got a tattoo on his forearm a few years ago depicting himself waving back to the Fab Four, in commemoration of shattering a few chart records previously held by the Liverpool legends.

Unlike most sequels, the events of The Bourne Legacy unfold at the same time as The Bourne Ultimatum, the film that preceded it. Except now, another agent, Aaron Cross, is the center of attention. But just as the phone call from Jason Bourne to Pam Landy in The Bourne Supremacy was turned inside out and given new meaning in The Bourne Ultimatum, other scenes, characters, and bits of jargon get twisted around in Legacy.
