The Korean-made Netflix hit Squid Game is about the desperation of survival in a system rigged against you if you’re at the bottom, and the dark labyrinths of human psychology that lead us to become strangers even to ourselves.

Almost three months to the day since Deadspin was obliterated by its clueless owners, the site is back — if only for a tantalizingly short while.

I know we already technically covered this in today’s links post, but I’m still trying to unpack the sucker punch Olivia Munn threw at Go Fug Yourself yesterday. All it took was four sentences for the prominent and beloved fashion blog to earn the Munn’s ire. And it’s hardly unusual for a celebrity to take…

Just days after the Kardashians reportedly left Cleveland in a huff over Khloe’s decision, Tristan doubled down on his own controversy by crying foul over how he’s being treated.

Is Narcos a true story? How much of it is real? Questions of the Netflix original series’ veracity have intrigued viewers since its debut, thanks in large part to a steady stream of realistic, but fictional portrayals of criminal enterprise.

The Gilmore Girls cast for the Netflix reunion is finally set–and Sookie will return! Melissa McCarthy announced the unexpected news today, in conjunction with the release of the first pictures from the specials.

Unfortunately, would-be citizens of Stars Hollow should not expect to see Melissa McCarthy in the Gilmore Girls reboot. As we’ve previously reported, last year, Netflix ordered a sort of Gilmore Girls reunion miniseries. Since everyone involved with the original show is now too busy to commit to an entire season’s worth of episodes, the streaming giant will…
Why was Dasha Polanco arrested?

After years of rumors and false starts, it’s finally (potentially) happening: a Gilmore Girls revival is in the works over at Netflix.

Bill Murray was the featured guest on the second-to-last episode of David Letterman’s late-night program yesterday. He entered the stage by jumping out of a giant cake; we were treated to a Murray Retrospective featuring highlights from his 33 years as a guest on Letterman’s shows; Murray closed the bit by running out of…
Something interesting happened during Catfish: The TV Show on MTV on Wednesday night, and it had nothing to do with that sweet single dad getting duped by a phony using photos of a gorgeous model. (Poor Felipe.) No, what most caught my attention was a departure from yearrrs of overly sanitized advertising practices. Specifically, when…
(CAUTION. This review contains spoilers. You probably assumed that that was true when you clicked the link; but, just to be totally, 100% above board with you: this is a review of the third season of House of Cards, and so there are going to be spoilers in it. If you haven’t seen season…
Paul Reubens has not had a starring role as Pee Wee Herman since Pee-Wee’s Playhouse went off the air in 1990. Since then, he’s revived the character every now and again for the occasional short film tied in to some other, larger purpose; or, during a brief stretch in 2011, Jimmy Fallon’s late-night program….
You guys: the new season is House of Cards is only five days away. And, technically, it’s even less than that, since the premiere’s going to happen at three AM Eastern Standard Time. Four days and sixteen hours! That’s practically tomorrow! Netflix knows it, too, which is why they teased us with a second proper…
The newest season of Netflix’s biggest hit premieres three weeks from yesterday. That means it’s fewer than three weeks away! That is super close, you guys. And, as usual, the show’s producers have kept the specifics of this season’s plot under a pretty tight wrap. The two brief trailers we’ve gotten so far tell…
The good people at Netflix know how to brighten your winter, political backstabbing-style: they’ve set a late-February release for House of Cards’ new season. Get the lowdown on all the upcoming showdowns, and check the first trailer.
Seinfeld’s as coy as they come about releasing information prematurely. But he has to loathe getting up to change DVDs as much as the rest of us.
After Chelsea Lately ends in August, Chelsea Handler isn’t wasting much time before getting involved in a new project. The details of the landmark deal were announced today…
When Netflix released the entire first season of their original series House of Cards all at one time, it was a huge novelty and a huge hit. The streaming video company has since continued the practice with other series (Orange Is the New Black, Arrested Development, Hemlock Grove) and on Valentine’s Day of this year they made the full second season of House of Cards available resulting in an epidemic of HOC binge-watching. So how popular is the show versus similar network and cable series like Mad Men or True Detective? The answer to that question is difficult because Netflix does not allow third-party monitoring of their downloads.
When the whole season of House of Cards was released on Valentines Day, many Americans settled in to watch episode after episode of the addictive thriller; but, some people didn’t just indulge, they binged. What constitutes binge-watching, though? How many episodes is too many? Can too much of a good thing be dangerous?
Forget the rule of thumb that actress’ careers slip after 40! Research from the Journal for Management Inquiry found that actresses earn less after 34. Meanwhile, actors’ wages increase into their 50s and then hold steady until their 60s.
The beginning of the new year brings a bit of good news/bad news for Netflix streaming subscribers. We shared the bad news earlier in the form of a list of more than 80 TV show and movie titles that will no longer be available to watch online after the ball drops ringing in 2014, but now we’d like to offer up the good news in the form of another rather impressive list of titles that will be added to the Netflix streaming catalog effective January 1, 2014!
Due to licensing agreements, on January 1, 2014 Netflix will be losing the rights to such classic films as Titanic, Top Gun, Braveheart, In The Name Of The Father, Flashdance, Platoon, and Requiem For A Dream as well as entire television series such as the 1960s cult classic Dark Shadows and sketch comedy game changer Kids In The Hall. Keep reading for a complete list of the more than 80 titles that will be gone by the end of the week!
Everyone knows that Netflix and other streaming media sites gather data from their users. But, with its new original series, House of Cards Netflix has taken “Big Data” even further. Read on to see why some are concerned about what data driven programing might mean for the future of media.
Philip Greaves writes manifestos and instruction guides about pedophilia and self-publishes them as $5 ebooks available on Amazon. They’re full of disturbing material that advocates sexual relationships between children and adults, and at first glance it seems obvious that this guy is a pedophile.
