Saying your new album is your “most personal yet” is the oldest pop cliche in the book. It’s an easy – or lazy – way to say that fans should be invested in your next record without telling them why, exactly; a tease that buying a copy of the album will get them ever-so-much-closer to the inside of their favourite star’s head.

While season one of The Last of Us took audiences on a whirlwind, cross-country tour of the United States, very little of what you saw was actually the United States.

That filming location is changing for season two, but not by much.Thanks, Last of Us. Thanks a Lot. | The Last of Us Episode 7 ReviewDeadline reports that Joel and Ellie are heading west as The Last of Us will be…

The return of Pixar shorts is something we’ve been waiting for, and Carl’s Date is a fitting choice—not least of all because it’s a wonderful homage to the late, great Ed Asner, the voice of Up’s Carl Fredricksen. What Exactly is the New Movie, Lightyear?io9 was in the audience and not emotionally prepared (so yes, bring tissues) for a surprise screening of Carl’s Date at Pixar during a press day for Elemental. Fans of Pete Doctor’s 2009 Pixar classic—and of Dug Days, the recent Disney+ Up universe shorts—will especially…

Season two (and probably three) is on the way, but for now, fans are left to wallow in the horrific actions of Joel (Pedro Pascal) and their impact on Ellie (Bella Ramsey).Along the way you may have noticed, but maybe not, that most of the images io9 used to illustrate articles on The Last of Us didn’t reveal much. That’s because HBO would release only a handful of photos—all carefully chosen to avoid…

Episode eight, “When We Are in Need,” just aired and it brought the story back to Joel and Ellie after episode six’s stabbing and episode seven’s detour into flashback. Can Ellie save Joel? How would that happen? Neither answer is what you think.Things begin in the desolate, cold town of Silver Lake, Colorado. A preacher we’ll later learn is named David (Scott Shepard) is…
