Although it lasted only one season, Freaks and Geeks continues to hold a special place in viewers hearts 25 years later.

On Wednesday, series creator Paul Feig and EP Judd Apatow celebrated the milestone anniversary of his breakout ’80s-set high school series, which aired 1999 to 2000 on NBC, along with stars Seth Rogen, Martin Starr and Samm Levine.

“Freaks & Geeks premiered 25 years ago today on @nbc,” wrote Feig with throwback photos from the set. “It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and changed everything for me. Eternally grateful to @juddapatow for taking a chance on my little spec script about growing up in Michigan and making it happen with @dreamworks as well as to our stellar cast, writers, directors and crew for bringing it to life. I truly love you all.”

Rock’s friskiest couple Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox are back with a brand-new edition of their “Sunday Lunch” performance series. This time around, the King Crimson guitarist and the new wave singer deliver a lickin’ good version of the Iggy & The Stooges classic “Search and Destroy.”

Sporting matching mohawks, the married pair pay homage to the godfather of punk, Iggy Pop, with a playful rendition of the Raw Power tune. Robert plays the song’s iconic guitar licks while Toyah sings and dances seductively around her husband. It all culminates with Toyah slowly licking the side of Robert’s face.

The ever-youthful Robert and Toyah just celebrated their 78th and 66th birthdays on May 16th and May 18th, respectively. They’ve been entertaining fans with their “Sunday Lunch” series for four years now.

‘Search and Destroy” follows performances of blink-182’s “Dammit,” Beastie Boys’ “(You Gotta) Fight for Your...

Tilda Swinton’s feature directorial debut The Hexagonal Hive And A Mouse In A Maze, co-directed with Bartek Dziadosz, will world premiere in competition at Sheffield DocFest (June 12-17) as the full programme is unveiled.

The 109-strong line-up includes 48 world premieres, 14 international and 17 European.

Swinton and her co-director travel the world in The Hexagonal Hive And A Mouse In A Mouse to explore the concept of learning. The documentary was first introduced at Sheffield’s MeetMarket in 2018.

All the competition titles are world premieres including the latest from Croatian filmmaker Goran Devic, Pavillon 6 which surrounds Croatia’s fight for the Covid-19 vaccination.

Hulu’s list of new releases for May 2024 is missing a certain amount of original series firepower. In the place of a blockbuster like The Handmaid’s Tale or Shōgun, however, is some content diversity.

The first of the month sees the premiere of four-episode British series Shardlake. This mystery drama takes place during the reign of Henry VIII and features none other than Thomas Cromwell (Sean Bean) investigating a murder. Other series of note this month include the Korean drama Uncle Samsik on May 15.

Movies are bit more interesting on Hulu in May. Teen comedy Prom Dates premieres on May 3. That will be followed by the 2023 Adam Drive film Ferrari on May 24. Before all that though is the real heavy hitter. You can watch Austin Butler’s acclaimed performance as The King in Elvis as early as May 1. But get to it quick before the Baz Luhrmann film departs on...

Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox take on blink-182’s “Dammit” in the latest installment of their “Sunday Lunch” series, as the married couple deliver an “elderly edition” of the coming-of-age punk anthem.

The 77-year-old King Crimson guitarist and the 65-year-old new wave singer have proven to be ever-youthful since launching their “Sunday Lunch” YouTube series in 2020, serving up playful covers of popular rock songs. And their performance of “Dammit” is filled with energy, as Toyah jumps up and down while singing blink-182’s first hit single.

It’s only at the end that Toyah calls it an “elderly edition” of “Sunday Lunch,” causing Robert to break out in laughter.

Over the past year, Toyah and Robert have offered up covers of Beastie Boys’ “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party),” Kiss’ “Lick It Up,” Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love,” Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation,...

What’s the best destination for spring TV? IndieWire doesn’t have a definitive answer, but as we do every month we’ll help you weigh the options with a breakdown of everything coming to your favorite streaming platforms in May.

The month is a prime time to have Disney+, what with the ongoing and buzzy success of “X-Men 97” and upcoming “Marvel Studios’ Assembled” going behind the scenes of the reboot series. May is of course the month of Star Wars, and the House of Mouse will celebrate with “Star Wars: Tales of the Empire” on May 4. Disney is also home to BBC America’s “Doctor Who,” which returns for a highly-anticipated 14th season with Ncuti Gatwa stepping into the Tardis as the new Doctor (he stepped into the role in December 2023 as part of the series’ beloved Christmas special tradition).

Five years ago, Robert Fripp was still merely known as the legendary guitarist of prog-rock pioneers King Crimson. Fast-forward to the present, and he’s the guy who does kooky “Sunday Lunch” YouTube videos with his wife Toyah, so it wouldn’t exactly be a shock if he joined OnlyFans. Thankfully, though, a new video declaring as much is merely an April Fools’ joke.

The clip was posted on the 77-year-old Fripp’s Instagram page with the caption, “Robert has officially joined OnlyFans! Subscribe now for exclusive, jaw-dropping content you never knew you needed…” In the video, we see a naked Fripp seductively sitting on a staircase, with only his guitar strategically preventing things from getting X-rated.

It’s not the only fun new clip from Fripp.

Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox kick it old-school with their latest “Sunday Lunch” performance. The married couple take on the Beastie Boys classic “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party).”

The King Crimson guitarist plays the Licensed to Ill song’s iconic riff as Toyah shows off her rhyme-slinging skills. Robert even chimes in on vocals in the chorus, and wraps up the performance by exclaiming, “Fight for your right to party with Toyah and Robert’s ‘Sunday Lunch.'”

These days, Toyah and Robert don’t post new “Sunday Lunch” videos every week, often re-posting past performances from the archives, but this is a brand-new edition of the popular YouTube series.

The couple celebrated New Year’s Eve with a cover of Kiss’ “Lick It Up,” and last year they performed such songs as Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation,” Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love,” Mötley Crüe’s “Shout at the Devil,...

Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox celebrated New Year’s Eve with a special “Sunday Lunch” performance of the Kiss song “Lick It Up.”

Less than a month after Kiss played their final show ever, the married couple paid tribute to the legendary rock band by putting their own spin on the classic tune.

‘The “Sunday Lunch” performance features King Crimson guitarist Fripp in Gene Simmons’ “Demon” makeup, with a giant red tongue as an accessory. All the while, Toyah dances around and sings the song’s suggestive lyrics.

The next day, January 1st, the couple posted a “Happy New Year” greeting, featuring Toyah planting a big kiss on Robert’s lips.

This past fall, Toyah and Robert embarked on their first-ever “Sunday Lunch” tour, hitting multiple cities in the UK. While they no longer post new videos every week, 2023 saw the couple offering frisky renditions of Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love,...

Seven small towns in the U.S. will welcome Jason Aldean and Kid Rock next year when the polarizing singers co-headline the Rock the Country Tour. The festival tour will stick mainly to the South, spending two nights at each stop in Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Missouri, Kentucky, and Georgia.

“Rock The Country is for everyone who makes this country run and loves America. Nobody knows how to party like Small Town America,” Kid Rock said in a statement about the predominantly country music showcase.

As one door opens, another one closes, and although Hulu will be adding plenty of titles to keep you busy through October, once the month wraps up, the streamer will be eliminating over 100 series and movies from the platform.

If you’re planning on doing your Halloween binge-watching via Huluween, don’t expect to extend your holiday: many of the horror titles Hulu will be adding for October will be removed from the platform on October 31. All the more reason to celebrate Halloween all month long.

Carrie Underwood kicked off the 2023 season of Sunday Night Football with a rousing rendition of “Waiting All Day for Sunday Night.” Her performance found her strutting the catwalk and behind the drum kit. This marks the country star’s 11th consecutive season as the voice of NBC’s Sunday evening NFL game.

After a few weeks of revisiting past performances, Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox are back with a new “Sunday Lunch” cover song. The married couple take on The Hives’ “Hate to Say I Told You So” in the latest edition of their popular YouTube series.

While Robert and Toyah usually cover older material, “Hate to Say I Told You So” is becoming a classic itself, having been released more than 20 years ago. It remains the signature song for The Hives, the Swedish garage rockers who’ve now been around for 30 years as a band.

For this cover, both Robert and Toyah are dressed as bees (get it: hives!), with the King Crimson guitarist being pestered by his singer wife throughout the performance. A sign on their kitchen cabinets reads, “Fripp is ma honey bee.”

While new editions of “Sunday Lunch” have become more sporadic in recent months, the couple have...

Country-pop star Carrie Underwood opened the first two shows of Guns N’ Roses ‘ 2023 North American tour, and she worked a handful of rock classics into her setlist on each occasion.

Underwood’s first support slot for Gn’R came this past Saturday (August 5th) in Moncton, New Brunswick, where she opened with Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation” and played Pat Benatar’s “Hit Me with Your Best Shot,” The Rolling Stones’ “Wild Horses,” Led Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll,” and lastly and most notably, the Motörhead staple “Ace of Spades.”

Hearing Underwood and her band take on a song bordering on heavy metal is a treat, proving that the singer can pull off heavy music with as much energy and conviction as her standard Nashville fare. Of course, it also appeals to the crowd largely consisting of Gn’R fans.

If that wasn’t enough, Underwood later appeared onstage during...

Carrie Underwood, as both a country singer and an American Idol winner, knows that the stakes are high and the odds are against her as the opening act for Guns N’ Roses. But as she has been proving this week, she’s willing to gamble — just like Motörhead’s late frontman Lemmy Kilmister. At gigs in Moncton, New Brunswick, and Montreal in the past few days, she’s included a raucous rendition of Kilmister’s calling card, “Ace of Spades,” in her set list.

At the Montreal gig, steam rose...

Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox usually cover a classic song on Sundays. But this time around they not only cover Cream, but also get covered in cream as they perform “Sunshine of Your Love.”

The fun-loving married couple pay homage to one of rock’s first supergroups — comprised of Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, and Ginger Baker — by literally incorporating the band’s name into the performance. Toyah pours cream all over herself as she sings the song, and then friskily asks Robert to take off his guitar. She then hugs the King Crimson guitarist so that he gets covered in cream, as well.

Sexual innuendo aside, it’s another fun “Sunday Lunch” episode from Toyah and Robert as they prepare to hit the road in support of their popular YouTube series. The couple recently announced a fall tour of the UK, kicking off September 30th in Wimborne, and wrapping up October 29th in Birmingham.

After taking a month off from their “Sunday Lunch” performances, Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox are back with a rendition of the Joan Jett classic “Bad Reputation.”

The King Crimson guitarist and his vocalist wife play off the song’s theme, with Robert taking on the bad-guy role and Toyah pasting sticky notes with the word “Bad” all over his forehead. Along with her usual revealing outfit, Toyah is sporting a new hairdo that harkens back to her days as a new wave singer in the late ’70s and early ’80s.

The couple had been posting archival videos over the past few weeks, with the previous new “Sunday Lunch” performance being a cover of J. Geils Band’s “Centerfold” in late March.

Other recent “Sunday Lunch” performances include covers of Mötley Crüe’s “Shout at the Devil,” Kiss’ “I Was Made for Lovin’ You,” and The Offspring’s “The Kids Aren’t Alright.

It feels just like last month we were complimenting Hulu on its true crime offerings. Well, with its list of new releases for February 2023, Hulu is staying in the true crime lane. Suppose that’ll happen when you push back the release date of a series or two.

February sees the arrival of three notable true crime series on Hulu. Taiwan Crime Stories premieres on Feb. 1 and presents four true tales from Taiwan’s criminal “dark underbelly.” That will be followed by ABC News Studios’ Killing County on Feb. 3. That three-episode series ponders the question “what happens when police kill?” The most interesting true crime offering premieres on Feb. 9. That’s when Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence College shares its four-episode saga of Larry Ray and the young college students he victimized.

As far as non true crime offerings go, the third and final season of Hulu...

Forty years after topping the charts with I Love Rock’n’Roll’s snarling menace, Jett is still rocking out. She talks about the sexism she faced, nurturing today’s female stars and her dad sneaking into her early gigs

When Joan Jett was 13 years old, she had her first lesson on the electric guitar her parents had given her for Christmas. “I went in there all excited and said to the teacher: ‘I wanna play rock’n’roll,’” she says. “And he said to me: ‘Girls don’t play rock’n’roll. Let me teach you [the folk song] On Top of Old Smokey instead.’” Jett never went back for a second lesson – instead, she bought a book and taught herself to play. It wouldn’t be the last time a man tried to put her in her place: “It’s the hand in the face telling you ‘You can’t do...

The road to WWE WrestleMania has officially begun. When the dust settled in St. Louis, it was Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar who walked away as the winners of the women’s and men’s Royal Rumble matches respectively. Both were surprise entrants in the 30-superstar battle royals and former UFC champs. Straight from the Dome at America’s Center, let’s revisit the biggest moments from the Royal Rumble. Welcome Back Ronda WWE After a history-making run with WWE, Ronda Rousey took time away to start a family. There was always the question if we would see the trailblazing Mma fighter back in the ring again. That was answered at the Rumble. You could almost feel the building shake as the sounds of Joan Jett and The Blackhearts’ “Bad Reputation” echoed through the building. Rousey and Charlotte Flair were the last two, which created quite the big fight showdown.

Epiphone has teamed up with rock legend Joan Jett on the Joan Jett Olympic Special, a new guitar designed for both beginners and pros alike.

This week’s episode of “The Masked Singer” took a break from the competition in order to celebrate the best moments of the season in the form of a sing-a-long special. Nick Cannon hosted the first-ever “Masky Awards,” with highlights shown of the remaining six contestants and the four panelists. Fans followed along with the bouncing ball throughout the evening in classic sing-a-long fashion. So how’d it all play out on Wednesday night?

Then be sure to sound off in the comments section about your favorite costumed characters on Fox’s reality TV show and who you think has what it takes to win the entire competition.

Logan Paul is the latest YouTuber to be booted from The Masked Singer, a hit reality franchise born in South Korea whereby celebs compete in a singing competition while uproariously costumed from head to toe.

During his brief tenure on the series -- which is hosted by Nick Cannon (though Niecy Nash is filling in as Cannon recovers from Covid) and judged by Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke, and Nicole Scherzinger -- Paul was disguised as a character named 'Grandpa Monster', and last night aptly performed Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation.” During yesterday's show, panelists incorrectly guessed that Grandpa Monster was quarterback Johnny Manziel, Jake Paul, Kevin Hart, and wrestler The Miz, reports The Wrap.

Paul told The Wrap that he’s a big fan of The Masked Singer format, and was previously in talks to appear in a spinoff titled The Masked Dancer, but asked to be removed...

Hollywood’s freakiest costume party got a little smaller on Wednesday night’s episode of “The Masked Singer,” when Grandpa Monster was sent packing after rocking out to “Bad Reputation” by Joan Jett. The orange, furry beast was revealed to be internet personality, podcaster and boxer Logan Paul. Nobody was more crushed by his reveal than panelist Nicole Scherzinger, who guessed Grandpa Monster was Logan’s brother, Jake Paul.

“You thought I was Jake?” a sad-faced Logan asked the Pussycat Doll during his unmasked interview with guest host Niecy Nash. Despite the social media star’s early exit, he did enjoy his brief stint as an entertainer. “Singing is so scary for me and being in this costume, ironically, as restrictive as it is, you feel so free in here and it was a lot of fun,...

First there was Monster (T-Pain). Then there was Miss Monster (Chaka Khan). Later came Squiggly Monster (Bob Saget). And now there’s … Grandpa Monster! This orange, elderly, bearded creature hopes to follow in T-Pain’s footsteps by winning “The Masked Singer” Season 5, and he’s on the right track as he already has the support of the show’s panelists. “You know you shut it down when your unifocal is fogged up,” laughed Nicole Scherzinger after watching Grandpa Monster give it his all on the stage during his debut performance on Wednesday, March 17.

“The Masked Singer” Season 5 returned Wednesday with an episode featuring Group B’s second performances and the show’s second “Wildcard” round. And just like last week, the night’s surprise contestant came in and managed to steal the slot from an existing competitor. In this case, it was newbie Crab who got more votes than Grandpa Monster, who was thus eliminated from the competition and unmasked at the end of the episode.

Following last Wednesday’s inaugural “Wildcard” round for Group A — which now consists of Russian Doll, Seashell, Robopine (f.k.a. Porcupine) and Orca (who ousted Raccoon) — Group B’s remaining contestants Grandpa Monster, Chameleon, Black Swan and Piglet took the stage again.

They each gave their second performances in front of panelists Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke and Nicole Scherzinger, as well as guest host Niecy Nash.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 5, Episode 4 of “The Masked Singer,” which aired March 31 on Fox.

Logan Paul admits his experience on “The Masked Singer” got off to a rough start. Paul, who was the next celebrity to be unmasked on Wednesday’s episode of “The Masked Singer,” said learning to sing and dance at the same time for the show wasn’t exactly what he expected.

“I can barely sing, I’ve never performed in this way, let alone adding dancing to this,” said Paul, who performed as Grandpa Monster. “This is a nightmare. And it was at first, until I crossed that hump and really started falling in love with the show.”

But he recalled being “scared and hesitant” early on. “My PR team got the angry call, I was like, ‘this show is not for me I’m not good at it.

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Wednesday’s episode of “The Masked Singer.”)

YouTuber Logan Paul was the celebrity eliminated and unmasked on tonight’s installment of “The Masked Singer” Season 5. But before he took his Grandpa Monster head off, judge Nicole Scherzinger confidently guessed the contestant’s true identity was another internet star: Logan’s brother, Jake Paul.

“It was almost too perfect with how close she got,” Logan Paul told TheWrap ahead of his unmasking on Wednesday’s episode. “A part of me was disappointed because I don’t love being mistook for Jake, as I’m sure he doesn’t like being mistook for me. We’re our own people who have completely separate identities. We’re yin and yang. The exact same and the exact opposite. So when she said it, I was under the mask and my heart sank a little bit. But I knew...

Another week, another wild card. This time around, Crab joined the cast of “The Masked Singer” as the second wild card of Season 5. This mystery celebrity performed after the other Group B contestants — Black Swan, Chameleon, Grandpa Monster and Piglet — but all were eligible to be unmasked in front of America. So which four costumed characters sailed through to the Group B finals and who was sadly eliminated? Guest host Niecy Nash once again presided over the show and asked questions of panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger.

My husband and I have gone a lot of drives since moving to New Jersey last year — to small seaside towns, to rolling farmlands, through the notorious Meadowlands and their belching sulfuric funk.

The most obvious point of comparison for “Suzi Q,” a new documentary about the pioneering 1970s rocker Suzi Quatro, is “Bad Reputation,” a two-year-old doc about Joan Jett. That’s not least of all because Jett is a frequent on-camera presence in the new movie, and comes off as such an acolyte of the woman who broke glass ceilings slightly before her, that you can almost imagine there’s some kind of “All About Eve” story in the wings. There doesn’t seem to be, although Quatro does mention with a hint of rue that when the other singer’s smash “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll” came out, people mistakenly congratulated her. In some sense, Quatro was Jett before Jett was really Jett — laying down the leather law when no female rocker had yet managed the combination of sex appeal and pure machisma.

Ultimately, though, Quatro comes off quite differently...

Swift tweeted the list, titled "Songs Taylor Loves" and there is an eclectic and intriguing mix of big names and varying styles.

Rihanna appears twice on the list with her songs, "Close to You" and "Kiss It Better," off her 2016 album, Anti.

Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus made the cut as well, with "The Cure" and "Malibu," respectively. Other big names include Ariana Grande, Halsey, The Chainsmokers with Coldplay and Lana Del Rey.

There is no shortage of pop culture references of Joan Jett’s 1980 punk anthem “Bad Reputation.” The song was used as the opening theme for Freaks And Geeks, during the tournament scene at Farquaad’s Castle in the first Shrek movie, and more recently in the teaser for the first season of Jessica Jones.

There is no doubt when you’re watching Tom Hardy that you’re getting 100% commitment from the actor. However, that intensity of craft has left behind a reputation that the actor is “difficult,” with “Mad Max: Fury Road” proving to be one of the most public instances where his behavior on the set spilled into the public. But Hardy is never one to sugarcoat anything, and while he doesn’t quite agree he’s a bad boy, he does admit he’s sometimes not been the easiest person to work with.

Since any New York City cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it’d be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city’s most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you’re not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we’re of the mind that it’s time extremely well-spent.

During the Marvel Panel at Comic-Con, the studio screened some of the first footage from director Jon Watts' Spider-Man: Homecoming. The movie has only been in production for ten days, but they had already shot a good amount of footage involving some of Peter Parker's high school scenes. Of course, there were a few other shots of Tom Holland as Spider-Man in action.

We've heard a lot about how Watts was inspired by the films of John Hughes when developing the movie and that inspiration was exploding all over the screen when this footage screen in Hall H. It was just so wonderfully charming in every way and it's almost as if Hughes himself was actually directing the film.

The footage starts out with Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation,” against a montage of old high school yearbook photos. As we see the photos there's a caption that reads, "All heroes have a beginning,...

Netflix is showing viewers more of its next superhero-themed series. The streaming platform released a new teaser trailer for Marvel's Jessica Jones on October 1, 2015.

Jessica Jones is based on the early-2000's Marvel comic book series Alias by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos and stars Krysten Ritter as the titular ex-superhero working as a private investigator on cases involving similarly super-powered beings. In the new teaser for the Netflix series (which also stars names like David Tennant and Carrie-Anne Moss of Matrix fame), viewers see Jones select Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation” on a jukebox before walking across a bar full of beat-up foes and taking a shot of liquor.

Netflix previously released a first teaser for Jessica Jones on September 26. That clip showed Jones’ New York City apartment littered clothes, alcohol bottles, and newspapers while Jones sleeps heavily in bed. When her alarm goes off at 3 Pm to...

A new teaser trailer for the Marvel-Netflix collaboration series Jessica Jones has been released. ‘Jessica Jones’ Teaser Trailer The trailer starts with the words “7:54 pm.

Sometimes a song says it all, and for their latest teaser for "Jessica Jones," Netflix cranks up "Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett. While I'll always associate the song with "Freaks & Geeks," for the comic fans out there, it's the track that lays the groundwork for the next Marvel small screen series. As you know, Krysten Ritter is the titular character, who is trying to go straight, but can't quite keep her superpowers at bay. Here's the official logline: After a tragic ending to her short-lived Super Hero stint, Jessica Jones is rebuilding her personal life and career as a detective who gets pulled into cases in New York City. It's time the world knew her name... It's a neat teaser I guess, though the whole room-full-of-maimed-bodies thing is getting a bit played out. "Jessica Jones" arrives on November 20th. ...

"Jessica Jones" doesn't care if she's got a bad reputation.

Netflix has released a new, under-minute teaser for their upcoming Marvel drama, and it's as tantalizing as the first. We never get to see Jessica's (Krysten Ritter) face, but we certainly get a sense of her personality as she cues up Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation" on the jukebox. Then, she picks her way carefully through the remains of a big bar fight - other patrons knocked out or trying (and failing) to get at her.

So, what we know: 1) Jessica likes to drink, and 2) She can brawl. Our kind of girl!

Other than that, we know that Jessica is a former superhero who has given up her powers to open a supernatural detective agency. Mike Colter stars as Luke Cage (before going off to his own Netflix series), David Tennant as the villain Kilgrave, Rachael Taylor as Bff Patsy,...

Jessica Jones doesn't give a damn about her "Bad Reputation."

Marvel released a new teaser for their upcoming Netflix series "Jessica Jones" on Wednesday, depicting the anti-heroine sauntering past the remnants of a bar fight as Joan Jett's classic rock anthem plays in the background.

Like previous clips, star Krysten Ritter's face remains obscured, but her streetwise demeanor is on full display. The camera focuses on her motorcycle boots and leather jacket, and the final sequence shows her bloodied hands slamming a shot glass onto the bar.
