The “Moon Knight” star revealed in an Esquire cover story that he believes there is a reason why the MCU has dominated box offices for years. “Marvel has taken the place of big comedies, to a certain extent, in the theater,” Isaac said. “There was a time when you’d go and watch the big comedies. You’d watch ‘Hangover,’ you’d watch all the great Judd Apatow films. And now it feels like these are the movies that people go to, to have a really good time and to laugh....

“Patriot Act” had the breadth of a show that aired for far longer than its nearly two-year Netflix run. With an eye toward explaining some of the brewing sociopolitical fracture points while giving context for the unintended consequences of everyday life that so many people take for granted, “Patriot Act” packaged Minhaj’s personal hosting touch with a thorough dive into each weekly topic.

Ralph Fiennes, who played the iconic baddie in the “Harry Potter” film franchise, spoke out on the “verbal abuse” weathered by author Rowling amid her repeated anti-transgender comments. “J.K.

The verbal abuse directed at her is disgusting, it’s appalling....

Forgive the familiar lede, but some things bear repeating, particularly in the context of a new movie that unfolds like a mission statement for its irrepressible creator. The poet emeritus of ero guro nansensu (literally, “erotic grotesque nonsense”) has been prolific as ever since rolling out of his hospital bed two years ago, with Sono’s recent credits including psychosexual bloodfeast “The Forest of Love,” a segment of the omnibus “State of Emergency,” and the post-nuclear Western “Prisoners of the Ghostland” starring Nicolas Cage....

“Oh, women!,” Gervais said in the special. “Not all women, I mean the old-fashioned ones. The old-fashioned women, the ones with wombs. Those fucking dinosaurs. I love the new women. They’re great, aren’t they? The new ones we’ve been seeing lately. The ones with beards and cocks. They’re as good as gold, I love them.
