‘It Ends’ Review: A Brilliant, Existential Road Thriller for and by Gen Z
In Alexander Ullom’s “It Ends,” four friends fresh out of college find themselves on a road with no exits.

Chris usually struggles with […]

The Weekend Update anchors took on President Trump’s address to Congress on this week’s “Saturday Night Live,” taking down the commander-in-chief’s claim that “no president has changed government faster” than him. “Nobody changed airport security faster than Bin Laden,” Michael Che joked, before getting a drive-by in on the world’s — but not necessarily Americans’ […]
