John Oliver starts his latest web exclusive for Last Week Tonight promising us rocks (not just any rocks, either, but "specific rocks"), before explaining that he'll need to "ramp up" to it by first talking about furries and Georgia politician (and recent loser in the race for governor) Kandiss Taylor. It sounds like a lot, and it is, but as usual Oliver weaves some seamless storytelling, starting with Taylor's ridiculous campaign promise to ban furries from schools before ending with her equally ridiculous campaign promise to demolish the Georgia Guidestones because they're part of a "Luciferian Cabal" or something. As always, local U.S. politics proves to be a fascinating and disturbing place. Want more?

It's long been suspected that "Stranger Things" season four might feature a time jump, and for now, we know where and when the majority of the storyline takes place in the latest season. Following a three-year pandemic-induced hiatus, the Netflix sci-fi series is back with a bang. Set in the small Indiana town of Hawkins, "Stranger Things" tell the story of a group of teenagers who band together to fight the menacing supernatural forces tormenting their town. The drama takes place in the mid-'80s, complete with nostalgic walkie-talkies, classic synth-heavy hits , and retro 'fits. The first season of "Stranger Things" takes place in 1983, while its follow-up second and third seasons are set in 1984 and 1985, respectively. Season three of the show ended with the Battle of Starcourt. While trying to defeat the Mind Flayer and close the Gate inside Hawkins National Lab to avoid further catastrophe, Hopper (David Harbour) sacrifices himsel...

Most of us know that Netflix's expansive library has some of the greatest true-crime documentaries ever, with "Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel" and "Tiger King" among its most popular hits. Still, Netflix isn't the only place where you can become paranoid about life-insurance policies - Hulu has also been hopping onto this grisly wagon in recent years. The streaming service's foray into this genre is relatively new, but the originals that it does have are just as well-produced as Netflix's true-crime documentaries . That's to say, you won't be missing out on high-quality content, even if Netflix has been at the game for a little longer. Hulu's true-crime collection spotlights critically acclaimed original features such as "Fyre Fraud" and "Untouchable." These projects break down more recent stories, such as the titular Fyre Festival scandal and the horrifying Harvey Weinstein abuse cases, respectively...

Hot Topic leggings , Claire's headbands, and rainbow Silly Bandz were a constant in my middle-school days. But years after stuffing every last band T-shirt in a box and pushing it deep in the back of my closet to be forgotten, Jessica Conrad pulled an Evanescence and said "wake me up inside" to all of my cringiest teenage moments. The TikTok creator, who's been posting videos since January 2021, struck a chord with former emo kids and scene kids alike, myself included, when she began posting her "Emo/Scene Kid" series, in which she re-enacts painfully accurate outtakes from life as a teenager in the 2000s. For some, Conrad's character might come off as a caricature of a stereotypically angsty teen . For others who lived through the "rawr means I love you in dinosaur" days, her Y2K-inspired videos are a deeply relatable nod to the past. "I hear, 'Oh, I went through this, too,' or 'You're describing my life,' or '...
