It shouldn’t be surprising that he’s wound up here — his movies are puzzle boxes that JJ Abrams wishes he was talented enough to pen — but, as fun as these movies can be, it is somewhat frustrating to find us contractually back here again, when there once seemed […]

]]> ‘A House of Dynamite’ Review: Bigelow’s latest never goes critical https://vanyaland.com/2025/10/01/a-house-of-dynamite-review-bigelows-latest-never-goes-critical/ Wed, 01 Oct 2025 16:37:03 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10042418 Few things would surprise me less than Netflix dropping a three-hour, three-episode extended cut of Kathryn Bigelow’s A House of Dynamite. It’s already episodic by design – in essence, you get to watch the US Government try to stop an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), fired from somewhere in the Pacific, before it hits Chicago, and once that fails, decide whether or not to retaliate. All that drama takes place over the course of eighteen minutes, and we follow the action […]

]]> George Clooney gets his groove back in the ‘Jay Kelly’ teaser https://vanyaland.com/2025/08/05/george-clooney-gets-his-groove-back-in-the-jay-kelly-teaser/ Tue, 05 Aug 2025 16:00:22 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10042174 Hey, look! Noah Baumbach is doing one of those “last movie star” movies with George Clooney! It’s got all of the things the people want: ennui, reflection, boomer devil-may-care theatrics, Adam Sandler (ok, this one’s not a joke), and inside-baseball Hollywood humor. Yes, folks, Jay Kelly sounds like it’s not gonna change anybody’s mind about Noah Baumbach — either you’re with him in the post-Frances Ha “adult cinema for adults” autofiction era or you’re just wishing that Wolfs had been […]

]]> Steph Tolev sends a clear message to the haters with ‘Filth Queen’ https://vanyaland.com/2025/07/17/steph-tolev-sends-a-clear-message-to-the-haters-with-filth-queen/ Thu, 17 Jul 2025 19:38:32 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10041931 The YouTube bridge trolls can lurk all they want with their totally original comments about being ugly and what they think about her nose, but Steph Tolev is thriving in her moment as the newly crowned queen — more specifically, Filth Queen — of comedy. Continuing to bask in the hype and success of her debut special, Filth Queen, which has received rave reviews since its premiere on Netflix at the end of June, the Toronto native is truly loving […]

Twelve months of absolute chaos, but we made it — wait, what? We’re only half way through? Well, that sucks. Luckily though, we’ve had plenty of opportunities already afforded to us by some of the best in the comedy game to escape the insanity (for at least an hour at a time) and collect ourselves. Whether it was filled with social commentary, personal reflection, or just talking shit for the sake of […]

We’ll be hyping club shows, theater and arena gigs, open mics, and whatever else to help fill your free time with some much-needed laughter. The good news is, if you managed to get through all of the insanity that played out in Tom Segura’s new Netflix series, they’re all merely fantasies. The […]

Merely two weeks ahead of its May 13 premiere date on Netflix, Segura’s comedy-horror-fantasy series, Bad Thoughts (think Black Mirror meets I Think You Should Leave) has its official trailer treatment today (April 30), and while it certainly offers up a good taste of what we can expect from […]

It’s the same old ReVue Stage, with a little bit of a twist where we put together a short list of the best comedy releases from the past month, and deliver them all in a tight, one-stop package. So come on over and check out some of the best specials and albums that comedy had to offer this past month, and maybe […]

The Playlist broke a bug-fucking-nuts story on Monday evening involving one of our favorite movies of the last decade — the Quentin Tarantino epic Once Upon a Time in Hollywood — in what might be the biggest Netflix show of force in quite some time. It was so out there that almost no one believed it, and it took the might of the trades to confirm that it […]

That’s a sad fucking book […]
