Charlie Martin On Showing The Racing World The Trans Experience

EB: There’s extra pressure on you.
CM: Yeah! You feel like you need to get up and deliver. You’ve got to learn everything about Discord and how it works. I got more nervous than I do in a real race. It was like sweaty palms and that kind of thing. But it was good fun, and I think since then I’ve done more GT racing on Asseto Corse Competitzione, and that’s more in line with the kind of racing I do in the real world. It’s a bit more relatable. I’ve really enjoyed that. I’ve managed to build a really awesome sim. I’ve been working with some manufacturers there, which has been fun. I feel I’ve settled a bit into my rhythm now which is a good thing.

Delroy Lindo interview: How he channeled anguish in his Da 5 Bloods character

Alerts
Delroy Lindo is an actor who goes deep. He goes deep preparing for his roles, and he goes deep talking about them—although, as he told
The A.V. Club in our interview with him, he sometimes has trouble articulating what goes into his process, because in the moment he’s just trying to do right by the story and the people telling it. The deconstruction comes after.

Lindo has acted in pretty much every genre you can think of, in films and on TV, but some of his buzziest roles have come out of his fruitful, decades-long partnership with Spike Lee. The two teamed up for a fourth time when Lee cast Lindo as Paul, a tortured soul haunted by his experiences in the Vietnam War, in Lee’s war/heist movie hybrid

Interview: Andrew Bird on productivity in a pandemic and These 13

Hark!, including adding a pandemic-inspired track, the searching “Christmas In April.”
Most gratifyingly for the singer-songwriter, he was able to make an album he first conceived of in 1997: an unvarnished collaboration with the Zippers’ Jimbo Mathus. Out March 5,
These 13 is a moving, gospel-rooted culmination of an artistic partnership that first began in 1994, one that sees both Bird and Mathus in peak form. Before the album dropped,
The A.V. Club spoke with Bird about this long-gestating project, how Mathus kept him from making music that was “too cerebral,” and staying busy (willingly or otherwise) during a pandemic.

L.L. McKinney, Kwanza Osajyefo, and Denys Cowan on What the Future Hold for the Black Superhero

Welcome back, true believers! Our journey so far has taken us across decades, from the bell-bottomed ’70s to the lit af present. As much as I would like to bend the fabric of space-time, and tell you exactly what the future holds, I’m going to keep it a buck: I ain’t got that kind of power, b. I’m just a man on a laptop who spends an inordinate amount of time reading comics.
If I have any kind of superpower it’s having a job that makes people open to talking with a weirdo like me. I’ve decided to use that power to ask some of the best and Blackest minds working in comics about the current state of the Black superhero, and where they see things going.

11 Questions: Vanessa Bayer would like to join Troop Beverly Hills

I Love This For You, about a woman who, like Bayer herself, overcomes childhood leukemia before finding a career on television. On the show, it’s a home shopping network and not a long-running and somewhat legendary comedic sketch show, but you get the picture.
Still, Bayer wasn’t too busy to give thoughtful consideration to every one of our 11 questions. Below, she reminisces about a childhood ranch vacation, conjures up visions of the Cleveland mainstay she frequents when she’s back home, and schools us how she learned how to say no. But first, we had to talk to her a bit more about her recent

Tessica Brown Talks Going Viral and How It Affected Her and Her Children

My Dearest Reader,
Over the last few weeks, this author has done her absolute best to keep you all informed on the developments concerning the curious case of Lady Tessica Brown and her Gorilla Glued hairdo. As most of you are probably aware, the case finally concluded in a positive way thanks to the gifted hands of Duke Dr. Obeng from the Hills of Beverly (that’s Beverly Hills). But what you may
not be aware of is how exactly Lady Brown has been feeling whilst enduring this most horrendous hair catastrophe and in the aftermath of its resolution. What with all the jokes, memes, and SNL skits made about a truly unintentional albeit traumatic situation—it’s only right to wonder. But as we both know, Dear Reader, if there is anyone willing to find out, it is I, Lady Welpington of

Margaret Cho kicks off The A.V. Club's Love Week

Graphic: Natalie Peeples
Margaret Cho is known for her whip-smart comedic observations on—well, on a lot of things. Since breaking out in the mid-’90s as the star of
All-American Girl, the first American primetime sitcom to feature an Asian-American family, Cho has carved out a career as an actor, author, and activist, all while remaining true to her first love: stand-up comedy.
Over the years, Cho has also been an outspoken advocate for (and member of) what she calls “alternative sexual communities,” speaking frankly about her experiences with polyamory, pansexuality, and kink. She’ll bring some of the kinky wisdom she’s obtained over the years to audiences this Valentine’s Day with
