No matter how the year panned out, at least horror was bountiful. Just a precursory glance at the most notable genre series that released in 2020 indicates an overwhelming selection.

Let’s be honest: over the past 12 months, listening to a whole album or even an EP sometimes felt like simply too much effort. We’ve already highlighted the best that both of those formats had to offer in 2020, but to close off our 2020 Year in Review, it’s only fitting we round up the
Exclusive The men responsible for Ahmaud Arbery‘s death have a litany of requests for their murder trial — notably, they don’t want the word “victim” uttered in court while referring to him.

At first, Erin Rae’s new song “He’s Not Free” sounds like a sweetly rendered Southern pastoral, full of “early summer peaches” and “cold water glasses sweating.” But by the end of the first verse, when Rae rhymes “honeysuckle vines” with “Georgia voters stood in all-day lines” it’s clear that “He’s Not Free” is something else
RuPaul’s Drag Race is already shaking things up for 2021. (And it’s only the first day of the year!)

Austin City Limits aired for the first time on Jan. 2, 1975.

When it comes to so-called niche content, whether it be stories with LGBTQ subject matter or stories with diverse leads, there’s always a chicken or the egg scenario. Is it allegedly less popular because it doesn’t have mega-famous talent behind it or because it doesn’t have the marketing budget and exposure to provide awareness or

Some strange creatures are called “monsters” because, well, they are monstrous. The Chupacabra certainly is. As are the Bigfoot creatures, the Abominable Snowman, the Jersey Devil, and the Mothman of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Other creatures achieve the term “monster” because of one thing: they are giant-sized. That’s right, it’s the scale that provokes the
