If there’s one thing that Jon Hamm is great at, it’s playing a morally conflicted man in a bygone era. And in American Hostage, a new MGM+ series based on a true story (and a narrative podcast of that story which also starred Hamm), he’s asked to do just that as he plays Indianapolis radio […]
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) has a fun sequence that tells you everything you need to know about Peter Quill, and it’s all before he actually speaks.

Oasis is one of the most popular British bands of the 1990s, but also one of the most tumultuous because of the fractious relationship between its frontmen. Their reformation and 2025 tour are the subjects of the documentary Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger. Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger was made for the fans. That’s hardly […]
