This is the inaugural “One Thing Considered,” an occasional attempt by Megan Garber and Conor Friedersdorf to talk through cultural artifacts that tickled their brains. In this edition, the artifact at hand is the song “Stressed Out,” the nostalgia-laced hit from the Ohio duo Twenty One Pilots (also known as Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph)….

Poor Ben Affleck. The early reviews for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice(including ours) have been absolutely brutal, and despite the fact that the Batfleck’s performance as the Dark Knight was a bright spot in the middle of an otherwise total clusterfuck, the actor doesn’t seem to be taking the criticism well at all. Just take…
Kanye West has lived a “hell of a life,” and he’s brought his listeners along for the ride with a catalog of songs that recount his childhood, rise to fame, and struggles as a celebrity. If Yeezy ever released an autobiography, it would top the best-seller list, but for now, we combed through hundreds of…

We’ve reached the stage in the lifecycle of the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon where copies are swamping thrift shops. In fact, one store already has so many that volunteers have built a modest fort out of the “erotic” bestsellers, and they really, really don’t want any more. The Mirror reports from an Oxfam outpost…

Batman v Superman was written by two men capable of telling an entertaining story. Chris Terrio won an Oscar for his Argo screenplay, and David S. Goyer helped on the story for all three Dark Knight films. But Batman v Superman has all the problems of a reboot mixed with everything that’s annoying about films…
We all know Batman, the billionaire who dons a kicky bat-themed ensemble to fight crime by punching it squarely in its face. He is brooding, laconic, muscular and absolutely unbeatable in a fight. This is the Batman of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight film trilogy, and if the gloom-and-rain-soaked trailers are any indication, it is what…
