This weekend (and next) will bring some of the most legendary classic rock stars to the desert: Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Roger Waters, the Rolling Stones, Neil Young, The Who, and Roger Waters. The venue is in Indio, and typically only sees more youthful crowds and, honestly, less stellar talent during fests like Coachella. But now dad's home, and things...

From September's debate. (Getty) If an election year was ever meant for the big screen, it's this one. And this Sunday, the 2nd presidential debate will head to Regal Cinemas nationwide, where you can sit back with some popcorn and watch a supersized Donald Trump interrupt Hillary Clinton.

It's called: the Manor, and it was built...

The probability of a big earthquake has died off since last week's advisory. (We hope we didn't just jinx it.)

Stranger Things—a show about making you feel nostalgic via '80s songs, Spielberg tropes, and the presence of Winona Ryder—has been a huge hit for Netflix, for the previously stated reasons. So it's no surprise they are planning a second season, which they've just announced. The video announcement features a dramatic 1980s video game slow jam, and these words: "Madmax. The boy who came back to life. The pumpkin patch. The palace. The storm. The...

Following the success of the Serial podcast, HBO's The Jinx, and Netflix's Making A Murderer docuseries, CBS is putting itself in the true crime ring by revisiting one of the more famous unsolved mysteries of the 1990s: the JonBenet Ramsey murder. It's been twenty years since the 6-year-old, often pictured in her beauty-pageant regalia, was found murdered on Christmas day, and while there were a few suspects (including her own parents) there was never...
