Viewers discovering Homicide: Life on the Street, now streaming on Peacock, will note Det. John Munch’s (Richard Belzer) penchant for conspiracy theories. This may not have always been the case. The Baltimore murder cop may have gotten the bug while on duty at The X-Files for season 5’s “Unusual Suspects.” The flashback episode to the creation of the Lone Gunmen supplies origin stories to much of the science fiction series’ canon, including how Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) was initially infected with his unique brand of governmental paranoia.

Homicide: Life on the Street, based on the book Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon, who would go on to create The Wire, ran on NBC until May 21, 1999, concluding with Homicide: The Movie (2000). After the finale, Det. Munch became a main character on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. The X-Files aired until May 2002 on Fox, spawned two feature films,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for NCIS Season 20 Episode 15 “Unusual Suspects.”] NCIS celebrates a milestone with “Unusual Suspects” — its 450th episode — but you wouldn’t know it based on the case, B-plot, or any of it. Rather, it’s just like any other episode, with a standalone case and a bit of insight into one of the agents’ lives off the job, with the two mixing just a bit. The milestone episode’s case is simple: The investigation into a rideshare driver’s murder leads to a retirement home, one Parker (Gary Cole) insisted was rundown when he looked at it for his dad (more on that shortly), and the question of whether the victim was really as nice as he seemed. But was he having an affair with an 85-year-old woman in said retirement home, leading ...

Gucci Mane and Kevin Gates performed their boastful single “I’m Not Goin'” on Tuesday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. The rappers exchanged verses on an unadorned stage, pacing back and forth as they fired off lines about wealth, status and fighting off their naysayers.

“They told me, ‘Stop buying all these fancy cars’/ They told me, ‘Please take all your diamonds off,” Gucci rapped on the chorus, utilizing a high register that blended with the booming backing track. “I’m getting too rich to fly commercial flights/ They wanna lock me up like Suge Knight.

Kirke, 27, shared a short but biting response to the outlet’s critic Anthony Lane, whose review of her film Gemini commented on her character’s wardrobe choices.

“She wears big jeans and a baggy gray top, while sporting the haircut from hell —brown bangs cut straight across, as if by a six-year-old with blunt scissors,” he wrote in his review, which appeared in the April 2 issue with the headline “Unusual Suspects.”

“At one point, in need of camouflage, she dyes the...

It may be so 90s it hurts, but the Highlander TV series spin-off is still very much worth a watch...

You may have seen a few articles about the original Highlander movie recently, as it’s just celebrated its 30th anniversary. Lots of things have turned 30 this year. Just a few examples: The Legend Of Zelda, Pixar, the M25. Fine institutions, but did any of them spawn a mostly superior TV series in 1992? I think not. Don’t let the fact that it was made in the 90s put you off. People still watch Buffy.

The series follows the adventures of Duncan MacLeod (cousin of the movie’s Connor). Explaining the premise of Highlander in complex detail would make me go far over my word count, so I’ll be brief. Basically, immortal sword fighters fight to decapitate each other in order to be the last one...
