Somehow the creators of Adult Swim's "Childrens' Hospital" (Thursdays at Midnight) managed to score the incredible Megan Mullally. Mullally plays "Chief," the freakishly egotistical head doctor who doesn't let common sense or decency interfere with her desires. We talked with Mullally about the show and her other fearless work! more ›

This landmark film is like the search for the holy grail meets the Terminator for a string-theory stroll through time and space with pregnant, gym-techno loving robots, poodles with laser beam eyes, creepy Abe Lincoln,... more ›

Gentlepeople, behold, the package includes: an ATHF beach ball, koozie,... more ›
