Nicholas Hoult and Anya Taylor-Joy Fight To Escape a Deadly Dinner in ‘The Menu’ Trailer
Nicholas Hoult and Anya Taylor-Joy star as a wealthy couple in the trailer for Searchlight Pictures’ upcoming film, The Menu. The couple is ready for a lavish evening out at an ultra-exclusive restaurant. After being ferried to dinner via private boat, they’re sat down with ten other guests, ready to dig into the creations of the mysterious Chef Slowik (Ralph Fiennes). “He’s not just a chef. He’s a storyteller,” Hoult tells Taylor-Joy. “The game is trying to guess what the overarching theme of the entire meal is going to be. You won’t know until the end.” While the meal is intended to function as a puzzle, where guests have to try to figure out its theme before the night’s over, it quickly takes a dark turn and leaves Hoult and Taylor-Joy fighting for their lives. After guests are shocked ...
Beavis and Butt-Head Are Quite the Catch in Preview Clip of Episode 3: Exclusive
Beavis and Butt-Head try to track down some chicks but prove to be quite the catch themselves in an exclusive new clip from Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head. The third episode of the revived series premieres tomorrow, August 11th on Paramount+, but to hold you over, you can check out 80 seconds of pure silliness below.

What follows is a classic bit of slapstick that wouldn’t have been out of place in golden age silent movie. Check it out after the jump. So far, the revived series has been a mix of old pleasures and new surprises, including Beavis’ e...
Artist of the Month Raffaella Wants to Be as Honest as a Kid
Artist of the Month is an accolade bestowed upon an up-and-coming musician or group who is poised for the big time. For August 2022, we interview singer and songwriter Raffaella about her brand new mini album, LIVE, RAFF, LOVE (Act I). Upon entering Raffaella’s childhood home in New York City last weekend, a few things stand out to me: The walls are covered nearly inch-to-inch with both art and musical instruments, signed photographs and records decorate the hallways, and the busied look of the apartment feels quintessentially New York. Today, however, Raffaella is merely a visitor in her old abode — and she’s brought an exciting and radiant new collection of songs home with her. This Friday (August 12th), Raffaella — who is Consequence‘s August Artist of the Month — will release her ...
