Pink plastic cows and fake aqua-blue trucks decorated the lobby of the Wiltern during the last night of Chappell Roan’s U.S. Midwest Princess Tour in November. Her fans — donning sparkly devil horns and bedazzled bralettes decorated with hearts — posed for photos in front of the backdrops as they made their way into the art deco Los Angeles venue, where death-dropping drag queens lip-synced on stage. “The Wiltern… It doesn’t feel like a gay club, you know what I mean? It’s proper. It’s very fancy,” Roan, 26, says.…

Luke Bryan, Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, and Ryan Seacrest aren’t in Hollywood anymore! American Idol debuted a Wizard of Oz-themed promo for its 22nd season with Rolling Stone on Friday, ahead of the show’s premiere on Feb. 18. The teaser hints at the theme of the newest season, which will see the show stop by different cities “big and small,” including the hometowns of each of the judges and some of the competition’s most iconic winners. (The judges were recently spotted filming in Perry’s native Santa Barbara.)…

Film: Fear the Night (Lionsgate)Cast: Maggie Q, Highdee Kuan, Kat Foster, Ito Aghayere, Philip BurkeDirector: Neil LaButeRating: 2/5Runtime: 92 mins This home-invasion set-up is a lame excuse for a generic action-thriller. Action star Maggie Q ( from ‘Nikita’) has little to do here other than look aware, tense and serious. Iraq War veteran Tess (Maggie Q) has a contentious relationship with her sister Beth (Kat Foster) have to put aside their differences for their little sister Rose’s…

When I first saw Exoprimal, I groaned because it looked like yet another game in which an interesting premise (fighting dinosaurs!) would be swallowed by the soul-sucking banality of being a third-person live-service multiplayer game in an era that sees such games released for a hot six months before they’re shut down. But word of mouth from friends and colleagues I trust was enough to get me to try it, and from the first handful of moments — none of which had anything to do with dinosaurs — I was all in. At the very…

Photo: Disney ParksNow open at Disney California Adventure’s Hyperion Theater at the Disneyland Resort is Rogers: The Musical. Perhaps one of the last things Twitter fandom made happen, the abridged musical history of Steve Rogers’ Captain America takes the corny parody seen in Disney+’s Hawkeye and expands it into a theme park-perfect musical theater sampling that really smashed our expectations. io9 attended a media preview of the bite-sized musical at Disney Parks, opening for a limited time as part of their summer…

Mrs. Davis is a deeply silly show deeply committed its silliness. And that's precisely what makes it so much fun. The new Peacock series from Tara Hernandez (The Big Bang Theory) and Damon Lindelof (Lost, The Leftovers), pits a nun with a mysterious past against an all-powerful, seemingly omniscient artificial intelligence. Her mission: to find the Holy Grail. You know, another one of those stories. Along the way, there are a slew of messy beheadings, a cheesy '90s-era car chase and a group of villainous German henchman…

There really is so much good SFF happening right now, it’s kind of wild. Renfield is looking to be a campy, Raimi-esque comedy gorefest, The Power reflects modern inequities through a sci-fi reversal, and... oh, well, I guess Joker 2 is still happening. But the animated Gamera miniseries? That looks incredible. Time to get ready for the movies, spoilers!Ghostbusters: FirehouseDeadline reports Emily Alyn Lind has joined the cast of the untitled sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife (currently codenamed “Firehouse”) in an …

Image: New Line Cinema Horror aficionados want to wake the sleeping giant of the genre, with the wait teetering on too long as fans get their writer’s hats out. A Nightmare on Elm Street’s legacy as one of horror’s best franchises has hit a snag over the last decade thanks to inaction on any further films, but hardcore horror fans already know exactly the pitches which will get the reboot happening. Hollywood, please read and take in all of these ideas, especially the more ridiculous ones. The franchise has…
