The Peanuts Movie is No. 2 at the box office as I write this, having pulled in just over $83 million domestically since opening earlier this month. Clearly, there’s still a lot of love for Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest, but Peanuts is just one tiny slice of the long history of comic strips being adapted for film, television, even video games. With Peanuts once again in the pop-culture conversation in a big way, we here at the Dot decided to look back at some of our favorite comic strip adaptations over the years, beginning with our favorite creepy/kooky clan…

1) The Addams Family

Beatles or Stones? Flight or invisibility? The question of “Munsters or Addams Family?” may not precipitated quite as many bar arguments as those first two, but I think it says just as much about you as a person. I was always squarely on the Addams side of the equation. The Munsters may look more overtly horrific, but it’s only skin deep; under the neck bolts and widow’s peaks, they’re a bunch of pussycats. But the Addams clan? There was a real sense of darkness and genuine, well, ookiness lurking behind even their most mundane adventures in the 1964 TV series—the unsettling DNA of cartoonist Charles Addams’ morbid masterpiece comic strip surviving even the diluting effect of network television. That macabre brilliance is even better translated into the pair of films directed by Barry Sonnenfeld in the early ’90s.

The original Addams Family TV series ran for only two seasons on ABC from 1964-1966, but the longer seasons of the day meant that comprised a whopping 64 half-hour episodes. You can watch the entire run of The Addams Family on Hulu. As for the excellent movies—which still hold up brilliantly, by the way—both The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993) are currently available on Netflix Instant. John Astin or Raul Julia as Gomez? That’s a choice nobody should have to make, so we recommend you just binge watch all of it.

2) Blondie & Dagwood

Cartoonist Chic Young’s Blondie has been running in papers since Sept. 8, 1930, along the way inspiring both a long-running radio and film series. And we’re not kidding about the “long-running” part. The Blondie & Dagwood movies ran from 1938’s Blondie all the way through 1950’s Beware of Blondie, for a whopping total of 28 films. That beats out the Bond franchise, and they didn’t even have to recast. And thanks to the Internet’s nigh-endless catalog of fascinating shit you probably didn’t know existed in the first place, you can check out the full run of the Blondie films on YouTube. Even better: The films clock in a little over an hour apiece, so they’re perfect bite-sized entertainment if you’re in the mood for something silly, old-fashioned, and charming.

Both the Blondie comic strip and the films are about the titular plucky housewife, Blondie Bumstead, played by Penny Singleton and her bumbling but good-natured husband, Dagwood (Arthur Lake). Their relationship plays out a bit like a reverse of the I Love Lucy dynamic: She’s mostly the “straight man,” tasked with cleaning up Dagwood’s messes. In keeping with the film series’ comic strip roots, there’s also a surprising amount of continuity in the movies, even beyond Singleton and Lake’s presence, with the Bumstead children literally growing up in the roles over the course of a decade.

3) Charlie Brown

Since it’s the recent Charlie Brown movie that inspired this list, everybody’s favorite lovable loser has to hold a place of honor. Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts comic strip ran in syndication for five decades, from Oct. 2, 1950, to Feb. 13, 2000. Repeats of the strip continue to grace damn near every U.S. newspaper to this day. Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the gang have become an ever-present staple of American culture: Fashions may change, stocks may rise and fall, but one thing you can count on is that Charlie Brown is still going to keep falling for Lucy’s “pull the football away at the last minute” trick.

If anything, the Peanuts animated TV specials may actually be an even more powerful source of nostalgia for many than the comic strip. There have now been several generations for whom the holidays just wouldn’t be complete without A Charlie Brown Christmas or It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Schulz’s creation also spawned four theatrical films before this year’s CGI outing, and the first two are currently available on Hulu: 1969’s A Boy Named Charlie Brown and 1972’s Snoopy, Come Home. That’s only a small slice of Peanuts’ legacy on the big and small screens, but if you want to see the dozens of Peanuts TV specials that have aired since the ’60s, you’ll have to scour YouTube, your local DVD store, or Amazon.

4) Dick Tracy

The iconic square-jawed lawman with the yellow suit and the radio watch, Dick Tracy was created by Chester Gould and debuted in the Detroit Mirror on Oct. 4, 1931. Gould himself spent over 40 years spinning two-fisted tales of Tracy’s never-ending battle against his colorful rogue’s gallery of criminals, most of them distinguished by exaggerated physical characteristics that made them look more at home in the Mos Eisley Cantina than an FBI lineup—baddies with names like Flattop, Pruneface, and The Blank.

Dick Tracy has been adapted countless times for radio, film, and television, but unquestionably the most high-profile incarnation was the 1990 movie directed by and starring Warren Beatty in the lead role. The film spent a decade in development before Beatty took the reins, passing through the hands of other potential directors such as Steven Spielberg, Walter Hill, and John Landis. Very much riding the coattails of the Tim Burton’s successful Batman from the year before, Beatty’s Dick Tracy sported a Danny Elfman score and brought Gould’s colorful world to life with a cast that included Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, William Forsythe, and Madonna as femme fatale Breathless Mahoney. Unfortunately, decades of lawsuits that followed have kept any sequel plans sleeping with the fishes, but now you can at least enjoy Dick Tracy on Hulu… so long as you’re springing for the Hulu with Showtime package.

5) Garfield & Friends

Launched in 1978 by cartoonist Jim Davis, Garfield has become just as omnipresent a fixture in the funny pages as Schulz’s Peanuts, and has enjoyed a similarly successful multimedia life. Davis’ droll, lazy, lasagna-loving feline has spent 37 years complaining about Mondays, harassing his canine companion Odie, and belittling the love life and intelligence of his owner Jon Arbuckle. Along the way, the strip has sometimes been an easy punchline for critics of the form, not to mention the inspiration for brilliant deconstructive meta-projects such as “Garfield Minus Garfield.” Still, Garfield remains oddly comforting even at its most predictable, like an old comfy sweater covered in orange cat fur.

Garfield’s most high-profile expeditions beyond the newspaper page in recent years came in a pair of CGI/live-action films starring Breckin Meyer, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Bill Murray as the voice of Garfield. But there were plenty of other riffs on Davis’ sarcastic kitty before that, including a dozen primetime TV specials throughout the ’80s and early ’90s. My favorite version of Garfield, however, remains the animated series Garfield and Friends, which ran from 1988 to 1994. A staple of Saturday-morning TV in that era, Garfield and Friends followed the ongoing adventures of Garfield, John, Odie, and the rest, interspersed with toons based on another Jim Davis strip, U.S. Acres. More importantly, Garfield and Friends featured the one true voice of Garfield, the late and legendary voice actor Lorenzo Music. I’ve recently been introducing my own kids to Garfield and Friends, and it still holds up really well as good-natured family entertainment. Thankfully, the entire run of seven seasons is available on Netflix Instant.

6) Popeye

Perhaps the single most powerful weapon in the parental arsenal when it comes to getting kids to actually eat their spinach, Popeye the Sailor Man has been gracing the funny pages longer than anyone else on this list, first appearing in an installment of Thimble Theater on Jan. 17, 1929. Created by E.C. Segar, the squinty seaman soon became the star of a series of theatrical cartoon shorts for the legendary Fleischer Studios, and his multimedia voyages have continued for what’s fast approaching 90 freaking years.

With his grotesque and exaggerated proportions, Popeye isn’t a cartoon character who lends himself well to live action, but that didn’t stop director Robert Altman from giving it the old college try, and he started well by casting a human cartoon in the lead role. The late Robin Williams was perhaps one of the only humans capable of playing a live-action Popeye, and damned if he didn’t give it his all, even while saddled with ludicrous-looking prosthetic forearms. Even more perfectly cast was Shelley Duvall in the role of the waiflike Olive Oyl. And just because the idea of a live-action Popeye movie wasn’t weird enough on its own, they decided to make it a musical. Robert Altman’s Popeye can currently be viewed on Hulu with Showtime, and it’s just as weird as you might imagine.

When Paulie Malignaggi began his pro boxing career in 2001, Facebook was three years away from its introduction. Myspace hadn't been invented either, and not even Friendster existed. No Twitter and no Instagram. Social media occurred only when a bunch of reporters went out for drinks after making deadline.

If boxers wanted to get noticed by what can be a fickle fanbase, they had to do it the old-fashioned way: they had to win, do so impressively, and on television. It would help if a pugilist had the personality (and skill set) of a Muhammad Ali who could draw fans to arenas because either he was so lovable that they wanted to see him win or because he was so antagonizing that they wanted to see him get blasted.

Before social media, a fighter like Malignaggi might have had a tougher time getting noticed. He's a two-time world titlist, and his skills as a boxer have always impressed. But Malignaggi doesn't own much knockout power, and for many of his wins, he's had to rely on his defensive abilities and his slickness to grab unanimous decisions. He's got a compelling personality and he could always hype a fight with a little trash talking, but without any kind of social media outlet, Malignaggi might have never become a fighter with a legitimately large following.

He also might not have his job as a boxing color analyst for CBS, Fox, and Showtime.

"Now, it does also give the haters a chance to flood your page with garbage. But overall, it's been good." 

"When Myspace came out, I was already a couple years into my professional career," Malignaggi told the Daily Dot earlier this month after commentating on a nationally televised boxing card for Fox Sports. "Social media has changed so much, and it really helps boxers from a marketing perspective. Fans can get access to athletes a little more than in the past. It used to be that there was no accessibility. 

"Now, it does also give the haters a chance to flood your page with garbage. But overall, it's been good."

To illustrate that point, Malignaggi was inundated with at least a dozen selfie requests after the fights were over that night. Presumably, many of those images featuring a smiling Malignaggi with fists posed in a boxing stance ended up on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram where people who aren't familiar with him were indirectly introduced to him—his reach expanding one upload at a time.

And maybe, just maybe, if Malignaggi—who has a caree record of 34-7 with seven knockouts—ever fights on national TV again, the audience of casual fans who might remember him because of those selfies might choose to spend their time watching his fists fly. And if he doesn't fight again, a social media following that includes 129,000 fans on Twitter could help him in his post-boxing life.

"If you can show them you have a strong social media following," he said, "well, that's always going to allow you to pick up sponsors or get more commentating jobs."

One of the biggest fights of the calendar year takes place Saturday night when Miguel Cotto and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez—two of the 20 best fighters in the world—wage a battle in the middleweight division.

Cotto has more than 500,000 Twitter followers and Alvarez has a few thousand more than Cotto, but neither account is very exciting. They'll tweet photos and videos from training camp, which is interesting enough, but they also try to sell fans on subscribing to their YouTube channel or attempt to sell merchandise. There's not much, if any, trash-talking, and following them on Twitter probably isn't a necessity for most casual boxing fans.

But consider Deontay Wilder, who was the first American to win a heavyweight title in nearly a decade when he beat Bermane Stiverne last January. Wilder is a good quote with a fun personality, and though he claims he tries to stay away from Twitter beefs, that doesn't mean he's always successful in avoiding them.

Before facing Stiverne, the two engaged a in public war of words, and after naming Stiverne's title belt "Sophia," Wilder began using the hashtag #RoadToSophia and created the @SophiaTheBelt Twitter account.

Wilder even gets the spectators physically involved. After a Twitter user named Charlie Zelenoff threatened Wilder and his daughter via social media, Wilder met him for a real fight that was caught on tape and went viral.

"In that particular situation, even though everything went right on my end and made me look like the hero—especially defending against the cyberbullying—that so easily could have gone wrong to me," he said. "I felt like I was doing the right thing, defending myself and my family. But if it goes wrong, that would make me the villain. Sometimes the villain is good, and it could have been a win-win that way, too. But I'm the type of guy who likes to be the good guy."

That has not been the strategy of Floyd Mayweather, who's retired but who's accumulated a list of 6.5 million Twitter followers and 9.1 million on Instagram—in part, because he posts things like this.

"Social media can be helpful to a boxer to a certain point," former super middleweight title contender Librado Andrade told the Daily Dot. "But with Facebook and Twitter, you have to be mature about it. Some people are terrible at it, and it turns people off."

Instead, boxers like Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin, a former titlist who's fighting Danny Jacobs next month for his middleweight belt, have a strategy when it comes to social media. For Quillin, it's about staying true to his personality, because he doesn't only see himself as a boxer. He sees himself as a figure the public wants to know.

"We're living in that time right now where social media is the new TV," Quillin told the Daily Dot on a recent teleconference. "That puts you out there a little bit more. You've got some guys who put themselves out there in a negative way, and if you go follow me on social media you see that I put out positive things. I want people to feel more fulfilled and inspired by my story and also who I am as a person."

That's why Quillin has been active on Twitter and YouTube and puts out videos like the one below. Sure, it's a Jimmy Kimmel ripoff, but that doesn't mean his fans don't love it.

For a boxer like Miguel Flores, who's trying to make a name for himself as he's at the beginning of his pro career, gathering as many fans as possible and earning their goodwill is the right approach. He knows building a fan foundation now could be the key to earning millions of dollars per fight later. That couldn't have been the approach of Malignaggi when he started in 2001, but for today's younger fighters, social media is an enormous part of that foundational construction.

"Nowadays social media is where it's at; it's everything," Flores told the Daily Dot earlier this month after improving his record to 18-0. "I try to follow back. I try to write back. I just want to interact. If they ask for a shirt, I try to get them a shirt. All I want to do is just please the fans."

The stars of Comedy Central's Broad City partnered with Xbox for the release of Rise of the Tomb Raider, and were inserted into the role of Lara Croft. It's an epic quest, one that requires courage, stamina, and strength. 

But since this is Broad City, they eventually come back to the reality of New York City, which includes creepy dudes. 

Season 3 of Broad City returns on Feb. 17. 

This may come as a surprise to many music fans, but, as any musician who has spent weeks driving around the country in a smelly van will tell you, being a rock star is a job like any other. Sure, an investment advisor for a credit union stage-dives slightly less than the lead singer for a punk band, but paying the bills is still paying the bills.

That tension is something singer-songwriter Walter Matin explores in the inventively unorthodox way he released the single for his upcoming album. Martin, who spent over a decade as a multi-instrumentalist for the whiskey-soaked yet heartfelt New York indie rockers the Walkmen, dropped his newest track on LinkedIn.

Told in chronological order, the song's lyrics are listed as job descriptions in the “Experience” section of Martin's LinkedIn page.

“Freshman in college I was delivering pizza/But to deliver one pie was a half an hour round trip/And college kids, man, they don't tip,” Martin writes of the delivery gig he had for a few months in the mid-1990s. “So I quit, and it was their loss/'Cause I was the only driver not stealing from the boss and siphoning gas from students' cars." 

Martin also uploaded the video to YouTube:

Martin's upcoming album is slated for a January release.

If Krysten Ritter is having her moment, it’s about damn time.

The star of Marvel’s Jessica Jones has long filled a niche playing the quirky best friend in C-grade romantic comedies. But the problem is that she’s not a Judy Greer or Joan Cusack type: If this were the 1940s, the loose-limbed former model would be a slightly edgier counterpart to Carole Lombard—deadpan and dark where Lombard was effervescent and light. Had Ritter been born just 10 or 15 years earlier, she could have been a Tim Burton muse during the director’s late-‘80s heyday; in fact, the actress looks so much like a Burton character that he cast her in his most recent effort, the so-so Margaret Keane biopic Big Eyes. She has always seemed like she could be the next big thing—if anyone could figure out what to do with her.

Marvel’s Jessica Jones, the studio’s second Netflix adaptation, makes the best use of Ritter’s complex and contradictory gifts yet, playing a superhero-turned-detective in the well-reviewed neo-noir effort. The Daily Dot’s Gavia Baker-Whitelaw calledJessica Jones a “thoughtful and gripping psychological thriller,” and why Ritter works in the role is perhaps the very reason she’s had such a hard time breaking out. What gives her anti-superhero a hypnotic pull is Ritter’s own off-kilter presence—one that’s hard to pin down. When Jessica Jones claims in episode 2 that she can prove Kilgrave exists because she’s “resourceful,” you know she means it. It seems like Ritter is capable of anything.

After all, she has spent years proving it. Since her screen debut in 2001, she’s enjoyed a strange and diverse lineup of roles. Her very first was a walk-on in the forgettable Ashley Judd vehicle Someone Like You. Ritter would then follow that with another background role two years later in the ‘60s coming-of-age drama Mona Lisa Smile—starring Kirsten Dunst, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Julia Roberts—and a handful of small parts in soap operas (One Life to Live) and short-lived TV shows (Whoopi). In 2004, she was cast in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it spot on the 14th season of Law and Order, as the secretary of a murdered film producer.

But 2005 gave the young actress (then just 24) her biggest audience yet—in the CW’s great Nancy Drew-meets-Philip Marlowe detective show Veronica Mars. Ritter landed the part of Gia Goodman—whose father, Woody Goodman, owns the local baseball team. But unfortunately, the script gave her little to work with, as was the case when Ritter dropped in on the 7th season of Gilmore Girls. Following a disastrous change in showrunners for the program’s final season, the actress was tasked with a thankless role as Lucy, a college friend Rory meets at an art opening on campus. The friendship was so awkwardly established that Ritter’s character may as well have had air quotes around her; after trying out a love triangle, Gilmore Girls quickly threw “Art Girl” under the bus—all but forgetting she existed.

Ritter was wasted in these roles (and Gia’s appearance in the Veronica Mars movie was basically a glorified cameo), but it’s her trademark oddball charm that made her screen time memorable. She would perfect this persona during a short stint in the late-2000s rom-com mill. Her first romantic comedy was yet another assistant role; this time, she appeared in 27 Dresses as the humorously named “Gina the Goth Girl,” a wedding receptionist at one of the many ceremonies Katherine Heigl’s character attends. In What Happens in Vegas, Ritter has one scene as Ashton Kutcher’s friend with benefits—who waits for him at the door dressed in a sexy Girl Scout costume. She might be onscreen for two minutes, but as the old saying about character actresses goes, “she’s the best thing in it.”

Ritter is more explicitly Joan Cusack-esque in the late P.J. Hogan’s Confessions of a Shopaholic, playing the straight man to Isla Fisher’s bugged-out shopping addict. But she’s always proved she was better than just the put-upon best friend: In both this film and 2010’s She’s Outta My League, Ritter gives off a latter-day Clueless effervescence. Were they ever to remake Amy Heckerling’s classic Valley Girl satire, she would be an utterly ideal Cher Horowitz; perhaps that’s why Heckerling would cast Ritter in the underrated Vamps, across from Alicia Silverstone herself. The tongue-in-cheek vampire comedy smartly played off the actress’ almost innate sarcasm. Even when Ritter’s being completely genuine, there’s an ironic undercurrent to her delivery that gives it bite.

If Ritter always suggested she could do more if given great material, Don’t Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 proved it. The oddball comedy was a troubled casualty of ABC mismarketing, saddled with a terrible title while constantly switching nights. The show, starring Ritter and The Good Wife’s Dreama Walker as a pair of mismatched roommates living in New York City, got a surprise season 2 pickup before being burned off altogether by network execs, who dumped the show’s last few episodes online. A similar fate befell ABC’s Happy Endings, another smart comedy tortured to death by its own network.

Don’t Trust the B---- joins a long list of gone-too-soon cult comedies—like Bryan Fuller’s Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me, Better Off Ted, and likely the CW’s poorly advertised Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. But it’s worth rediscovering for how wonderfully, unbelievably funny Ritter is in it. The half-hour sitcom was intended as a comeback vehicle for James Van Der Beek, who plays a caricature of himself (a la William Shatner). “The Beek” more than holds his own, but it’s Ritter who steals every scene she’s in as Chloe, a unscrupulous socialite who may or may not have a heart of gold—but, like, probably not.

From American Dad and Fresh Off the Boat’s Nahnatchka Khan, Ritter is perfect for Khan’s blend of the pitch black and the downright demented. Don’t Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 is an ideal antidote to the fantasy New York of 2 Broke Girls, in which struggling Brooklyn roommates can still have a pony in their backyard. Chloe and June (Walker) have an unbelievably large Manhattan two-bedroom, but their New York is one in which people are forced to do anything to get by. In the pilot, Chloe attempts to scam June out of her rent money and sells drugs out of her grandmother’s Ottoman. In a later episode, Chloe secretly films videos of herself and her roommate making jam for a niche fetish site—with the help of the pervert who lives next door.

Modern screwball is difficult to pull off, but Ritter makes it look effortless. However, more dramatic roles have given her the chance to explore what’s underneath that fizzy comic persona. In the acclaimed indie Listen Up Philip, Ritter plays the hapless daughter of an emotionally abusive writer (Jonathan Pryce), but she’s perhaps best known for her work on Breaking Bad. Ritter was introduced in season 2 as Jane Margolis, the landlord and later girlfriend of Jesse Pinkman. While she’s a recovering drug addict and a potential trigger for Jesse’s meth habit, Jane also acts as a moral thermostat for the show, and Ritter’s wounded tenderness suggests deep reservoirs of her own pain.

When Jesse begins to spiral into drug addiction—after his friend, Combo, is killed by a rival gang—Jane signals Walter White’s official breaking point and descent into darkness. After Jesse gets her hooked, Jane becomes his worst enabler. Walt (played by three-time Emmy winner Bryan Cranston) is, thus, forced to make a choice between her life and his business, as Jesse’s meth problem threatens the future of their drug operation. In what might be the show’s most harrowing and heartbreaking scene, Walt breaks into their apartment to find that the couple have overdosed and sees Jane choking on her own vomit. He decides to let her die. In many ways, this is the moment Walt became Heisenberg—his own doppelganger.

But since Don’t Trust the B---- and Breaking Bad, the offbeat actress has continued to struggle for both acclaim and recognition (unless you count a Teen Choice Award nod). While there have always been ingenues who don't neatly fit into a box, Ritter remains one of Hollywood’s most fascinating contradictions: The second coming of Parker Posey, she’s dismissed as too classically pretty to be the best friend and too eccentric to be a cookie-cutter lead. But Posey, a ‘90s staple and Christopher Guest favorite, continued to shine in small indie projects and supporting roles in studio films throughout her career (Josie and the Pussycats, You’ve Got Mail). Posey is rarely the star, but she’s always the reason you keep watching.

Playing a deranged socialite might have proved Ritter has some of the Party Girl’s DNA in her, but Ritter seems to be taking a page out of her Marvel character’s playbook by forging her own unique path. If she has promised that Jessica Jones will be like nothing else on TV, there’s a reason for that: For 12 years, there’s been nothing else like Ritter anywhere. And it’s time for Hollywood’s almost “It Girl” to finally get her due.

But rest assured, even if you're too old for astronaut action figures or cowboy dolls, you can still live like one. Airbnb is filled with real-life versions of toy-sized abodes, allowing full-grown adults to live like their beloved toys from childhood, at least for a night or two. 

1) Woody

Price per night: $137

Just on the western edge of California's Mojave Desert, you and your stead can stay in a ranch that Woody would have been proud to call home. Have a drink at the cowboy saloon, soak in your room's clawfoot tub, or do some stargazing. Reviewers rave about the "tequila that flows like water" and that rare experience of sleeping under a tin roof during a desert thunderstorm. 

2) Slinky the Dog

Price per night: $98

Being in the dog house doesn't have to be a bad thing if you're staying at the Dog Bark Park Inn in Idaho's panhandle. The canine theme doesn't end when you go inside: Each room is filled with a variety of different dog tchotchkes, you can play a round of "Beagle-opoly," or browse their collection of dog literature. The inn's owners use a chainsaw to create wooden canine figures you can bring home. Said one reviewer, "It was a neat experience to spend the night in the belly of a giant dog."

3) Little Bo Peep

Price per night: $100 

Stay in a restored sheep wagon used by the owner's family during the 1920s. Located on an actual farm, guests will spend the night near a variety of different livestock, including (of course) sheep. Take pictures of the giant haystacks, cook a meal in your cast-iron stove, or go for a dip in the nearby lake. 

4) Buzz Lightyear

Price per night: $88

5) Barbie

Price per night: $196 per night

Spending a night in Barbie's dream house is possible in Essex. This lavish, bubblegum-colored estate sleeps up to 16 people, and includes an entirely pink-hued master suite with a king-sized bed. Since this is Barbie we're talking about, the property also includes a jacuzzi, a disco ball, a full-equipped kitchen, and a photography studio. One reviewer said it was like "stepping into a Salvador Dali painting."

6) Army Men

Price per night: $142

Bunk up in a military-style underground bunker like one of the Army Men figurines from Toy Story.  The location has 20 beds in total. The accommodations may look bare-bones at first glance, but that will change once you realize the property includes a Moroccan kasbah and a pub. 

7) Trixie

Location: Atlanta, Georgia 

Price per night: $350

Playing the drums isn't easy. That's why the latest iteration of the popular video game Rock Band allows virtual drummers to disable the kick drum pedal—because making your hands and feet do different things at the same time is something that a lot of people find too difficult.

Senri Kawaguchi, on the other hand, doesn't have that problem. A 18-year-old girl from Nagoya, Japan, Kawaguchi is an absolute monster behind the kit, as evidenced by this recent viral video showing her delivering a blistering drum solo in honor of Japan's national soccer team's World Cup qualification efforts.

Videos of Kawaguchi's impressive drumming frequently attract international attention. Here are some other clips showing Kawaguchi's awesome drumming skills.

With less than a month until Star Wars: The Force Awakens, director J.J. Abrams treated fans by releasing some of the film’s screen tests, proving just how difficult it must’ve been to cast it.

Back in the ’90s, Saturday Night Live made a reel of fake Star Wars auditions featuring the likes of Christopher Walken, Jack Lemmon, Burt Reynolds, Barbra Streisand, and other celebrities (played by Kevin Spacey and SNL cast members) badly auditioning for the film. The updated version of this sketch, with the backdrop of The Force Awakens, works much the same way—with a few surprises.

This time you have a mix of SNL cast members portraying the likes of Sofia Vergara, Shaquille O’Neal, and George Lucas while Jon Hamm, Emma Stone, and Michael Bublé play themselves. There are even cameos from The Force Awakens stars John Boyega and Daisy Ridley. Boyega’s just as surprised with the script as we were.

Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful, remember the ugly truth of the holiday, and—for many people—survive an uncomfortable meal with your racist relatives. But Saturday Night Live demonstrates that there’s something to unite us no matter our viewpoints.

The table is set, the drinks are flowing, the fuses are short, and the racism, xenophobia, and transphobia are rampant as a dysfunctional family passes around plates of food. But once Adele’s “Hello” starts to play, the faux-fur coats and hair start flowing.

If anyone can shut down any argument, it’s her.

This article contains minor spoilers from The Man in the High Castle.

It has taken a long time for The Man in the High Castle—the classic, Hugo Award-winning novel from Philip K. Dick—to make it to the small screen.

The book, which told of an alternate history where Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan won World War II, was published in 1962. The TV adaptation of the same name has been in the works since 2010 and changed hands a couple of times before ending up at Amazon Studios. The pilot debuted nearly a year ago as part of Amazon’s pilot season and was the most-watched pilot in Amazon’s history when it was greenlit in February. The 10-episode first season just debuted on Amazon Friday, free for Amazon Prime members to stream.

The show may be of an older time, but it has never been more relevant.

I watched the pilot episode of The Man in the High Castle shortly before chatting with showrunner Frank Spotnitz (The X-Files) and members of the cast at New York Comic Con. I read Dick’s novel in the month after NYCC and caught the rest of the season over the course of three days, thanks in part to press screeners offered by Amazon Studios. And as much as I tried not to, I couldn’t help but notice the unintentional parallels between this world and ours.

In the nearly two weeks since the Paris terror attacks, more people have been using World War II comparisons to describe how some U.S. politicians are reacting to the attacks and the Syrian refugee crisis. More than half the country’s governors have refused to take in Syrian refugees while the House of Representatives voted to halt the resettlement of Syrian refugees, bringing in comparisons to how Americans felt about Jewish refugees on the eve of World War II (the difference in circumstances aside). The mayor of Roanoke, Virginia, justified the internment of more than 100,000 Japanese-American citizens when discussing the Syrian refugee crisis. And Republican frontrunner Donald Trump is open to registering all Muslims in the U.S. in a tracking database, drawing more than a few literal comparisons to Adolf Hitler and an apparent rise of a “new American fascism.”

And it’s downright thought-provoking, even if you don’t take the recent political climate into account.

With an ensemble cast, The Man in the High Castle splits its time between New York in the American Reich, San Francisco as shaped by the Japanese-run Pacific States, and Canon City, Colorado, in the Neutral Zone with a vast range of characters. It takes until the very end of the first episode to find a character who isn’t white or Japanese, in part because that’s the world everyone lives in. The Jews were largely eradicated by the Nazis out east while the Japanese are slightly more tolerant (although Judaism is forbidden), whereas many people of color were forced out into the Neutral Zone.

It’s not even how dejected and resigned everyone is about living in this world. It’s how normal it all is; there are enough similarities and kinship to our own world that The Man in the High Castle’s reality almost feels like ours, but there’s just something off about it.

Juliana Crain (Alexa Davalos) is the audience’s way into the show as a woman who’s mostly content with her life until her sister is killed for owning a film containing newsreels showing a reality in which the U.S. won the war. She takes her place in the Resistance and meets Joe Blake (Luke Kleintank), a Nazi secret agent who’s constantly switching sides. Her boyfriend, Frank Frink (Rupert Evans), wants nothing to do with it but is forced into the fray after being questioned by the Kempeitai (led by Joel de la Fuente) and the death of close family members—which demonstrates the ruthlessness of the government while possibly being an instance of a character being killed strictly to motivate the male character.

Meanwhile, as Germany and Japan are engaged in a Cold War of their own, people within try to prevent World War III from happening—a war which Germany would most certainly win. Japanese Trade Minister Nobusuke Tagomi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) works with a Nazi official posing as a Swedish businessman to even the odds while Obergruppenführer John Smith (Rufus Sewell) tries to stop the Resistance as he juggles family, trying to find the mole in his office, and the possible breaking point in his unwavering loyalty to the Reich. 

In order to obtain or preserve the world they want to live in, everyone has to make sacrifices. And where does that leave them? In a world where nobody really wins, and even those in power are on the edge of losing it all. But given that future seasons (which have yet to be confirmed by Amazon) will likely be inspired by themes from The Man in the High Castle as opposed to being a straight adaptation, it’ll be fascinating to see just how far the show takes it.

Star Wars fever reached the stage at Sunday's American Music Awards, with an a cappella tribute from Pentatonix that brought down the house.

Harrison Ford was on-hand for the introduction before Pentatonix launched straight into a tribute with nothing more than clips from the first six Star Wars films and The Force Awakens behind them. They were dressed for the occasion, too, with nods to Princess Leia’s hair and the cloak of a Sith Lord as they harmonized on “The Imperial March” and “Binary Sunset.”

And once the full orchestra joined them to play more of those iconic Star Wars themes we grew up with, there was nothing to stop us from feeling like kids again.

Once upon a time, Arnie Niekamp was sucked into a portal behind a Burger King in Chicago and ended up in a mysterious world called Foon. As he explains in the opening of each episode of Hello From the Magic Tavern, he can still podcast from this strange alternate universe, and after a couple episodes, you’ll be sucked in too.

Niekamp is joined by shape-shifting badger Chunt (Adal Rifai) and quest-obsessed wizard Usidore (Matt Young), who announces his full name during every episode, plus a rotating cast of characters who inhabit Foon and, more specifically, the local “magic tavern,” the Vermilion Minotaur. In Foon, seasons include one called “blunder,” goblins have very active sex lives, hunger ghosts roam for eternity looking for scraps, and having two buttholes is not uncommon. There are some Earth-like similarities, though: Wedding planners exist, as do funerals.

Oh, and the show is entirely improvised.

For a podcast this layered, the connective tissue has to be strong, or else it’s going to be a mess. HFTMT succeeds in large part due to the improvisational talents of Niekamp, Rifai, and Young, who have been performing together in Chicago for more than a decade. Sure, they step on one another’s toes from time to time, but they also know each other’s strengths and weaknesses—when to save and when to step back. Niekamp had done podcasts before HFTMT with Chicago followings, but nothing really stuck.

“It sort of seems like to get any kind of attention these days, you have to do something sort of high-concept or a little more niche,” he told the Daily Dot. “At the same time, I love high-concept stuff and I love storytelling and basically I just pitched the idea to Matt and Adal. … I wanted to [make] what I love about podcasts, which is a laid-back chat show, and introduce a really weird story.”

Podcasts like Welcome to Night Vale and Limetown point to the success of a high-concept, alternate-reality-building approach. Though improv is its foundation, HFTMT wasn’t a stage show first; it was designed to exist as a podcast. Niekamp says they did a couple “test episodes” to ensure they would be able to pull it off, which ended up as HFTMT’s first two episodes.

Much like The Best Show’s Tom Scharpling, Niekamp’s role is to keep order among the chaos and character-building, to be the curious-yet-cautious guide to Foon. Rifai and Young are part of the main cast, but each week sees other Chicago improv performers stepping into the rift to embody a resident: Krom the Barbarian, Spintax the Green, Spurt the Elder, and Pimbly Nimblebottom, to name just a few.

“My role is to sort of be the ringleader, to keep things in order,” Niekamp said. “I’m sort of the audience surrogate, and so my job is to try to have as honest of a reaction as I can to everything that’s happening.” Niekamp adds that they’re often “juggling several different [improv] games at the same time, so usually the main game is that I’m trying to keep order and they’re trying to invent a lot of crazy stuff.

“Within that, I try to find the little things for myself to do, to make my character less of just a straight interviewer. My quote-unquote ‘character’ has his own quirks; he’s a little too obsessed with the podcast, beyond reason. Like, why would someone in this magical world really be that invested in doing a podcast?”

The fans, however, have become very invested. Hello From the Magic Tavern debuted in March, and since then a strong fandom has sprung up around the show, especially on Reddit and Tumblr. Niekamp relates that if they contradict or repeat themselves in a storyline, they’ll get emails about it, at the very real email address magictavern@puppies.supplies, which has become a recurring bit on the show. They often have to consult the fan-made Wiki page to remember certain references, and both Chunt and Usidore have their own Twitter accounts, even though Twitter ostensibly doesn’t exist in Foon. 

“I love the idea of the audience really being able to participate in the show,” Niekamp said. “And ask questions and suggest things that fundamentally become a part of the world of the show. That just seems like a kind of natural outgrowth of the improv we’re trying to do.”

More than 37 episodes in, HFTMT has developed a fanbase that returns every week, but Niekamp says they’ve resisted—at least for now—the idea of having “seasons.”

“One of the things I love about podcasts is they’re just kind of always there for you every week,” he said. “And I also worry that when you take time off, what percentage of your audience do you lose? Also, I sort of love the purporting-to-be-real quality, even though it says it’s not real.

“We try to find ways to have the show bleed into the real world. Someone wrote a Yelp review of the Burger King we mention in the show, with a lot of references to Foon, and I think that’s hilarious. …[It’s] giving you at least a small percentage of an open door to thinking, ‘You know, this could be real. This is happening in real time.’”

Redmayne took to YouTube as part of the promotion for his upcoming film The Danish Girl, in which he plays Lili Elbe, one of the first known participants in a sex reassignment surgery. He joined Raymond Braun, a former Google employee who’s become an LGBT YouTuber in his own right, documenting LGBT issues on the platform.

Redmayne previously cited transgender coming-out stories on YouTube as part of his inspiration for the role, including transgender Harry Potter activist Jackson Bird. It’s an additional level of connection, as Redmayne is also slated to join the Potter universe as the lead in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Redmayne further clarified in this collab that he’d found Bird during preparation for the Potter project and took the inspiration to The Danish Girl.

Braun also collaborated with other people from The Danish Girl, including director Tom Hooper and co-star Alicia Vikander. Braun points out that many of his viewers are young, and what would Redmayne offer to those of them who feel alone and like they don’t fit in.

“I think the notion of fitting in is so annoying,” said Redmayne. “Don't fit in; be yourself. Be different.”

“I would say take Lili’s lead,” he continued. “Have the courage to try. You’ve only got one shot at life.”

Fans are definitely not blue over a new slate of tour dates from YouTube favorite Troye Sivan, who will visit the U.S. and Canada in support of his first full-length album, Blue Neighbourhood, in 2016.

Blue Neighbourhood hits retailers on Dec. 4, but Sivan has been teasing fans with clips from the album and visuals on his YouTube channel since the beginning of November. Most recently he’s revealed some childhood images to accompany the song “Youth” and stories about his coming out as LGBT for “Heaven,” which features Betty Who.

With Netflix and Amazon Prime and Hulu and HBO Now all at our fingertips, it can be impossible to keep track of what to watch or when it’s available.

With a little ingenuity and a lot of time on your hands, you can find almost anything on YouTube—from avant-garde cat videos to women whispering in Spanish while holding a variety of household goods.

But fortunately for movie lovers, you don’t have to look quite as hard to check out the platform’s amazing array of options in the public domain. When a movie’s license expires or the work ceases to be owned by a corporation or a private individual, it’s essentially a public good and is freely distributable. Thus, while you can always briefly find studio classics like All About Eve, The Palm Beach Story, or Rebecca on the site, posters are often breaking copyright laws to do so, and the films are likely to be removed as quickly as they went up.

Luckily though, you don’t have to commit a crime to watch good movies for free—and maybe get a bit of a film history lesson in the process. All you need to know is what to watch and where to watch it.

1) Carnival of Souls

James Wan’s 2011 horror sleeper hit Insidious was famously inspired by this low-budget effort from prolific short-film director Herk Harvey. Filmed for just $20,000, Carnival of Souls has proven a major influence on directors George Romero and David Lynch, who seemed to draw on the film for his hypnotic 1997 effort, Lost Highway. The film—about a woman who finds herself haunted by an inescapable evil following a tragic car accident—is odd and hard to pin down, but that’s precisely part of its ineffable appeal. Its surreal atmospheric pleasures should be catnip for fans of better-known movies from the period—like Samuel Fuller’s Shock Corridor or Kiss Me Deadly (another Lynch favorite).

2) Detour

While the low-budget film noir was well-reviewed upon its 1945 release, Detour has only grown in critical acclaim in the years since. Filmed in just six days, it’s hard to believe that this dark tale of blackmail gone wrong survived the harsh censorship of the Hays Code era. Playing a particularly devilish femme fatale, Ann Savage (much later seen in Guy Maddin’s masterful My Winnipeg) became a cult icon. Savage’s Vera hitches a ride with Al (Tom Neal), whom she comes to believe has murdered a bookie. And in the grand tradition of film noir, she plans to use that to take everything—or almost—everything he’s got. As Vera would put it, “I don't wanna be a hog!”

3) The General

Like many future landmarks, Buster Keaton’s The General was a financial flop and received poor reviews from critics after it initially debuted in theaters. However, The General went on to be known as the finest work in its director’s distinguished career, and Citizen Kane director Orson Welles emphatically claimed it was the greatest movie ever made. It’s easy to see why: The General offers some of cinema’s most nimble physical comedy (Keaton did all of his iconic stunts for the film, which include jogging on top of a moving train), as well as its star’s trademark deadpan charm. If you you’re a fan of Charlie Chaplin or the Marx Brothers, you can’t miss it.

4) His Girl Friday

One of the funniest, fastest movies ever made, His Girl Friday is to dialogue what Gravity was to special effects—an utter miracle. If you’re a fan of the fast-talking dames on Gilmore Girls, test yourself by trying to keep up with the motor-mouthed wit of Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, playing star-crossed news reporters. Speaking in the movie’s trademark overlapping dialogue, the two share some of the sharpest barbs ever written. Take this exchange: Hildy (Russell) is explaining to Walter (Grant) why she’s marrying another man. She says, “He treats me like a woman.” Walter Burns: “Oh, he does, does he? How did I treat you? Like a water buffalo?”

When they say they don’t make ’em like this anymore, His Girl Friday is what they mean.

5) House on Haunted Hill

Between movies like House of Wax (not the Paris Hilton one), The Fly (not the Geena Davis one), and House on Haunted Hill (not the Chris Kattan one), Vincent Price carved out a niche for himself as the maestro of macabre horror. Price’s eerie yet alluring screen presence is unmatched in cinema, and this film—about a millionaire who pays a group of people to stay overnight in his spooky old house—is the perfect blend of retro horror and vintage camp. Those looking for more gems in Price’s massive filmography would be advised to check out his playing-it-straight roles in The Song of Bernadette and Laura, which gave Price a chance to show the fine actor underneath the steely kitsch.

The later Frank Oz–directed musical is the rare adaptation that improves on the original—buoyed by Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene’s nebbish charms—but the original also stands on its own two… vines? Boasting one of Jack Nicholson’s first screen appearances, the 1960 Little Shop of Horrors is more straightforwardly comic than other entries in the Roger Corman catalog. However, the film’s off-kilter, dark humor is well-suited to the tale of a bumbling florist who unwittingly creates a carnivorous plant, and Little Shop quickly gained cult popularity through regular television broadcasts in the 1960s and ’70s. For those with a taste for the absurd, it remains a delight five decades later.

7) Manos: The Hands of Fate

Manos: The Hands of Fate had the rare distinction of being—for a brief, beautiful time—the worst movie ever made. Manos formerly topped (?) IMDb’s Bottom 100 list, a user-reviewed ranking of film’s lowest of the low. (The current “champ” is something called Code Name: K.O.Z.) Like fellow IMDb honoree Birdemic: Shock and Terror, Manos has to be mocked to enjoy because—and I cannot stress this enough—parts of it are excruciatingly boring. One scene features seven nearly unbroken minutes of the characters driving. But there’s a reason it’s become an MST3K favorite: It introduced the world to Torgo, a twitchy satyr who works as the groundskeeper for a polygamist cult, and the Master, whose bizarre wardrobe reminds me that it’s never too early to pick out my Halloween costume for next year.

8) Metropolis

Saying watching Metropolis is a requirement for any serious lover of film makes it sound like medicine. But there’s a reason that Fritz Lang’s masterpiece has inspired everyone from Madonna—who paid homage to Lang’s work in the video for “Express Yourself”—to Janelle Monae and St. Vincent. Hailed as one of the silent movies ever made, Metropolis remains a visual and technical marvel, inspired by Art Deco and German expressionism, and these same influences could be seen in Robert Wiene’s likewise unmissable The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Fans of the director should also check out M, his other German tour de force, as well as his later works in America—such as the underrated noirs Fury and The Big Heat.

9) My Man Godfrey

If you had to put a gun to my head and ask me what my favorite comedy is, this is probably what I would blurt out first. The inimitable Carole Lombard is daffy perfection as Irene Bullock, a spoiled socialite who adopts a hapless homeless man (William Powell) as her pet projection—and hires him as the family butler. There’s a certain Wodehousesque weightlessness to the whole thing, as if the movie could float away at any time, but don’t let that distract you from how dense this movie is—with mad screwball humor, with fully realized characters, and with life itself.

10) Night of the Living Dead

While Victor Halperin’s White Zombie is widely credited as the first zombie movie, Walking Dead fans have George Romero to thank for starting the modern zombie craze with this landmark 1968 horror film. The low-budget indie was filmed for just $114,000 and grossed $12 million in the U.S., making it one of the most profitable movies ever made, nevermind an enduringly influential cult classic. Night of the Living Dead was a critique of discourses of race and social taboos, as well one of few movies in the era to cast a black actor in a lead role. While Romero’s film would launch a successful film franchise for the director (last seen in 2009’s Survival of the Dead), this will forever be remembered as the maestro’s finest hour.

11) Nosferatu

Nosferatu is, for my money, still the most chilling horror film to grace the big screen. For F.W. Murnau’s considerable gifts as a director—he also filmed Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, the first movie to ever win Best Picture—the movie lives and dies on Max Schreck’s utterly incredible performance as the titular bloodsucker. Here’s the ultimate indication of just how good Schreck is here: Shadow of the Vampire, a 2000 film starring Willem Dafoe and John Malkovich, suggested that Max Schreck was an actual vampire. That film is, of course, a work of fiction, but let’s just say this: I would never have wanted to be alone in a dark alley with Schreck to find out.

12) Of Human Bondage

The best adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham’s novel onscreen, 1934’s Of Human Bondage is a must for fans of Bette Davis (read: Kim Carnes listeners, gay men, old ladies). This was Davis’s breakout role and her very first Oscar nomination (prior to her consecutive wins for Dangerous and Jezebel) for a performance that has nothing to do with S&M—not that there’s anything wrong with that. Davis plays Mildred, the manipulative, low-class object of Philip Carey’s (Leslie Howard) affections, and owns every scene she’s in—especially in a bedroom confrontation where she destroys all of Philip’s things and storms out. Even when she’s playing basically the worst person on Earth, Bette Davis makes it look good.

13) Plan 9 From Outer Space

This might be an unpopular opinion, but for as “bad” as Ed Wood Jr.’s movies are—he’s often hailed as the worst director in film history—there’s a certain demented brilliance to them. For the mind-numbing mundanity of Glen or Glenda, the film features an unforgettably bizarre segment of Bela Lugosi (who is God, maybe?) pulling the strings of humanity. Plan 9 From Outer Space features a now iconic image of poorly made spaceships—that are made out of pie plates or hubcaps, depending on who you ask—hovering languidly over Los Angeles. Not a single scene or plot development in this movie makes any sense—and the dialogue is famously atrocious—but it appears to unfold over its weird dream logic.

The utmost expert on Creed has finally found his calling: reviewing Creed.

It’s not someone involved with the previous Rocky movies or even a film critic. It’s Creed frontman Scott Stapp, who seemed to think that he was reviewing an epic biopic about Creed the band instead of a Rocky reboot. He can’t say he understands the artistic liberties that the filmmakers took when putting together his story (or why everyone’s boxing in it), but he seems to like it all the same—with arms wide open, of course.

Shame about the Rocky Balboa guitar solo that ended up on the cutting room floor, though.

Take a look and plan accordingly. And if you’re curious about the comings and goings on Amazon or Hulu, we’ve got you covered there, too.
