A new streaming service being developed by Fox Corporation, the Walt Disney Company’s ESPN and Warner Bros Discovery’s (Wbd) TNT Sports is likely to poach customers from traditional cable and comparable streaming products when it launches later this year, according to the findings of a new study by Horowitz Research.
The study, circulated among industry analysts and journalists on Wednesday, found 38 percent of Americans who are currently subscribed to traditional cable or a streaming alternative like Fubo and DirecTV Stream are likely to adjust their subscriptions to buy Venu Sports when it launches in August.
Pricing for the service hasn’t been announced, but it is expected to cost around $45 to $50 per month — substantially lower than the cost of a core pay TV package offered by cable, satellite or sports-inclusive streaming cable alternatives.

Eric Trump, the son of former President Donald Trump, was criticized for posting a statement about his family’s “sacrifice” on social media.
In a post on X on May 24, Eric replied to another post made on the same day by the pro-maga X account.
The post included an image of himself, his wife, Lara Trump, his father, former first lady Melania Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and his fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle standing together.
“The family that gave up everything to Save America,” the caption in Freedom’s post read. “Thank You!”
“And we will do it again,” the former president’s son wrote in response to the post.
During Memorial Day weekend, X users slammed Eric for the out-of-touch statement.
“Particularly disgusting to post this on Memorial Day weekend,” neoconservative writer Bill Kristol wrote in a post.

How does an aspiring model who came to Paris hoping to make it big end up in a refugee camp? Well, that’s the story of Adilah in Stephen Knight’s wonderfully written political thriller, The Veil. When Adilah tries to distribute food bags amongst refugees, one woman identifies her as an Isis militant and calls her a “daesh” (the radical Sunni Muslim Organization). Adilah is dragged into the middle of a raging mob of women who have lost their husbands and children, and Un officials save her before she gets stomped to death. Now Adilah sits in a secluded tent being watched, while the Dgse, CIA, and Mi-6 all want her, suspecting she’s a high-ranking Isis commander, ‘Djinn al Raqqah.’
Spoilers Ahead
Why did Adilah trust Imogen?
Adilah got stranded with no help from anyone, and she could be killed by any one of the thousands of refugees in the camp.

"We have to see loneliness as a threat to our health security." Abramorama has debuted the full trailer for a documentary film titled Join or Die, which is a rather ominous title for a doc. This important film centers on America's civic unraveling through the journey of scientist Robert Putnam (aka Bob), whose research on the decline in American community lights a path out of our democracy's present crisis. It first premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival last year, playing at the Boston, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Tallgrass, Tuscon, and Denver Film Festivals as well. Putnam is a renowned social scientist and the Malkin Research Professor of Public Policy at Harvard University. He describes this as a "film about why you should join a club... and why the fate of America depends on it." It is an examination of how the decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy's present crisis.

First Lady Jill Biden swatted away suggestions that President Joe Biden is too old for the job, saying on ABC’s The View today that her husband, at 81, is “about the same age” as the assumed challenger Donald Trump, who turns 78 in two weeks.
“This election is not about age,” she said, adding, “This is about character.”
“You have to believe [Trump],” she continued, “when he uses words like ‘dictator,’ ‘bloodbath,’ ‘third term,’ ‘violence.’ We’ve seen it, so when he says these words believe him, don’t think this isn’t going to happen.”
Asked about polls that put Trump ahead of Biden, the First Lady said, “Those polls are going to turn, I’m confident of it, because as time goes on and people start to focus a little bit more about what’s at stake and start to become educated on the issues and the differences between the two men,...

As of this writing, the "Law & Order" TV empire incorporates 65 seasons of television, providing 1,355 episodes in toto. If you're staying in a hotel anywhere in the world, you can probably turn on your TV and flip only three channels in either direction before you'll come upon a "Law & Order" rerun. It is ubiquitous and eternal, and it has become the ultimate "comfort watch" for a populace hungry for, well, law and order.
While "Law & Order" may feature multiple beloved characters who will stay on their respective shows for many years, they tend to rotate out when a given actor wishes to retire. The shows rarely suffer from multiple, frequent cast changes, however, and they're able to keep telling interesting stories without the benefit of a particular character's point of view. Each character might bring a gruff je ne sais quoi to the series, but after airing for decades,...

This past weekend, The Cabot theater in Beverly, Massachusetts hosted an event that was billed as An Evening With Richard Dreyfuss + Jaws Screening – but attendees did not expect what they got from legendary actor Richard Dreyfuss when he took the stage. Most of them probably expected the moderator to lead Dreyfuss on an overview of his amazing career, allowing him to discuss not only Jaws (and set the record straight about whether or not he was a jerk on set) but also films like American Graffiti, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Stand by Me, Stakeout, What About Bob?, or the two that earned him recognition from the Academy: Mr. Holland’s Opus (he earned a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his performance in the film) and The Goodbye Girl (he won the Best Actor Oscar for that one). Instead, Dreyfuss used the event as an opportunity to go on...

Vivek Ramaswamy, who disclosed a big stake in BuzzFeed last week, sent a letter to the online publisher’s board of directors asking for major changes from staffing and focus to the board makeup as well as an apology for previous reporting. CEO Jonah Peretti declined the mea culpa but agreed to meet with the former Republican presidential primary candidate and Donald Trump surrogate, whom he said has some “fundamental misunderstandings” of the company’s business.
“Hey Vivek – Thanks for reaching out, nice to finally hear from you. I’m glad you think BuzzFeed is undervalued – I totally agree!,” he wrote.
BuzzFeed went public in 2021 after merging with a Spac. Ramaswamy disclosed last week he’s acquired well over 8% of the company, making him one of the company’s largest individual shareholders.

T-Mobile has agreed to pay $4.4 billion for “substantially all of” U.S. Cellular’s wireless business, the companies announced on Tuesday.
The sale will see T-Mobile acquire U.S. Cellular’s wireless customers, stores and some spectrum-related assets, according to a press release issued Tuesday morning. U.S. Cellular has more than 4.6 million customers and is the fourth-largest wireless company in the United States, offering service in nearly two dozen states. It is popular in rural areas that have been typically underserved by major wireless providers.
“With this deal, T-Mobile can extend the superior Un-Carrier value and experiences that we’re famous for to millions of U.S. Cellular customers and deliver them lower-priced, value-packed plans and better connectivity on our best-in-class nationwide 5G network,” Mike Sievert, the CEO of T-Mobile, said in a statement.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized Democrats and women for underestimating the anti-abortion movement and recalled how she felt abandoned by women toward the end of her campaign for president in 2016 because she was not “perfect.”
Clinton called out the double standard against women in politics, claiming voters were more willing to take a risk on former President Donald Trump because was a man.
“They left me because they just couldn’t take a risk on me, because as a woman, I’m supposed to be perfect,” Clinton told the New York Times. “They were willing to take a risk on [Trump] . . . because he was a man, and they could envision a man as president and commander in chief.”
Former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley also faced sexist attacks during her campaign, similar to Clinton. Haley was insulted by Vivek Ramaswamy, another former GOP presidential candidate, who called her “Dick Cheney in three-inch heels.

An American man living in Turkey was arrested earlier this month and is in the process of being extradited to the United States to face charges of hacking into a computer system used by T-Mobile, The Desk has learned.
John Binns, 24, was detained by Turkish authorities after a local court approved an extradition request by federal prosecutors in the U.S., according to two sources familiar with the matter.
In January, The Desk reported Binns was indicted on 12 counts related to unauthorized access to computer systems used by T-Mobile back in 2021. Then, Binns digitally poked around T-Mobile’s servers until he found a hole, and was able to exploit the security issue in order to download records connected to tens of millions of T-Mobile’s current and former wireless subscribers.

After taking the stage in a housedress and, at one point, swinging his cane like a baseball bat at a Massachusetts holiday weekend screening of Jaws, Richard Dreyfuss went on to deliver a rant described by attendees as transphobic, sexist and homophobic.
“This was disgusting,” posted one attendee on the Facebook page of The Cabot theater in Beverly, Massachusetts. “How could the Cabot not have vetted his act better. Apparently (I found out too late), he has a reputation for spewing this kind of racist, homophobic, misogynistic bullcrap.”
The incident occurred on Saturday night prior to the film screening. In a brief YouTube video taken by an audience member, Dreyfuss can be seen walking onto the stage for a Q&a wearing a floral print dress and shaking his hips in a mocking way.

Over the years, Christopher Nolan has gained a reputation for his storytelling. Regardless of era, gender, personality, or region, one can always count on him to perfectly represent the depths of human emotion, tied in with some scientific phenomenon. On top of these, he has depended on both real life and fiction to draw inspiration for his masterpieces.

A Massachusetts theater is apologizing to its patrons who came to attend a screening of Jaws with star Richard Dreyfuss but instead were subjected to alleged sexist and homophobic comments from the actor over Memorial Day weekend.
Attendees who headed Saturday to The Cabot theater in Beverly, Massachusetts, for what was billed as “An Evening With Richard Dreyfuss + Jaws Screening” were likely anticipating some amusing or insightful anecdotes from the actor about filming the classic Steven Spielberg action blockbuster.
Instead, the Oscar winner went on a freeform rant that, according to social media posts from those in attendance, began while he was speaking about Barbra Streisand and moved into his bigoted perspective on trans youth, the Academy Awards’ inclusion rules and then on to trans kids affirming their gender.
Following the event, attendees quickly took to social media to criticize the actor’s remarks, with some saying they even walked out during the event.

While Chuck Norris started his career in action movies with 1977’s Good Guys Wear Black and Breaker, Breaker (a few years after playing Bruce Lee’s opponent in Way of the Dragon), one could argue that he only truly hit his stride in the mid-eighties. In fact, Norris’s best run of movies coincided with him signing a long-term deal with The Cannon Group, who produced many of his best-remembered films. Among his fans, one of the movies most often cited as one of his best is 1985’s Invasion U.S.A.

The Blue Angels happens to be a pretty cool title for a movie title. You are not at fault if you expect it to be some sort of thrilling thing. Well, “Blue Angels” is what the United States Navy flight demonstration squadron is popularly known as. In popular culture, it is, of course, the Top Gun films that have introduced us to them. Interestingly, Glen Powell, who rose to fame thanks to Top Gun: Maverick (2022), is one of the producers of the latest The Blue Angels movie. Powell also starred in another Blue Angels-inspired movie, Devotion (2023), following his Top Gun success. The Blue Angels is a documentary, though, about the real thing. Now I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but The Blue Angels turns out to be somewhat underwhelming—just saying.

Richard M. Sherman, two-time Oscar winner who collaborated with brother Robert B. Sherman on the songs for “Mary Poppins,” “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” and the enduring Disneyland tune “It’s a Small World (After All),” died Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills due to age-related illness. He was 95.
The Sherman brothers worked in a job that no longer exists: inhouse songwriters for a studio. In their case, the studio was Disney, and the brothers were hired for that steady gig after their 1958 song “Tall Paul” was a hit for Mouseketeer Annette Funicello.
In the early 1960s, they penned tunes for Hayley Mills in Disney films “The Parent Trap,” “In Search of the Castaways” and “Summer Magic,” as well as songs for “The Absent-Minded Professor” and “Moon Pilot”; Walt Disney, always aware of synergy, made sure his family comedies had a tune with radio-play potential.

Richard M. Sherman, one-half of the prolific Disney songwriting duo The Sherman Brothers, has died. He was 95.
Sherman and his brother Robert were responsible for dozens of the brand’s most memorable cinematic songs. They were most known for their work on “Mary Poppins,” which earned the duo two Oscars, the soundtrack for “The Jungle Book” and “It’s a Small World.”
“Richard Sherman was the embodiment of what it means to be a Disney Legend, creating along with his brother Robert the beloved classics that have become a cherished part of the soundtrack of our lives,” Bob Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, said in a statement Saturday.
“From films like ‘Mary Poppins’ and ‘The Jungle Book’ to attractions like ‘It’s a Small World,’ the music of the Sherman Brothers has captured the hearts of generations of audiences. We are forever grateful for the mark Richard left on the world,...

"73 Yards" is the strongest episode of the new "Doctor Who" season so far, which is surprising considering it's the first one that barely features the Doctor at all. Showrunner and episode-writer Russell T Davies has taken a cue from season 4's Doctor-lite episode "Turn Left," taking us through years of the companion's life without the Doctor around to help her out. The results are terrifying: as soon as the Doctor's gone, Ruby finds herself followed by a mysterious old woman. The woman magically stays exactly 73 yards away from Ruby at all times, and whenever Ruby sends someone else to talk with her, they freak out and suddenly want nothing to do with her.
It's a mysterious premise that puts Ruby through the wringer like we've never seen before. First, she has to spend a few nights alone at an inn filled with the world's rudest patrons. Then she goes...

Memorial Day weekend is upon us, and the box office is looking grim. The “Mad Max” prequel “Furiosa” is on track to score the lowest No. 1 Memorial Day weekend in nearly three decades, since 1998’s “Casper,” with an estimated $31 million take. But traditionally, the holiday weekend is a big one for moviegoing – kids are out of school, adults have three days off and the summer movie season is ready to roll.
For that reason, it feels like a good time to look back at the highest-grossing Memorial Day weekend box office openings of all time, dating back to 1996. Now it’s important to note these are Memorial Day weekend openings not Memorial Day weekend box office champions – “The Day After Tomorrow” pulled in over $85 million when it opened in 2004, but the top film at the box office for the holiday weekend was holdover “Shrek 2.”

We all know that laughter is said to prolong life, but what should we do when these days’ comedy titles are not as hilarious as they were before? Luckily for us, Reddit recalled some of the most unforgettable comedy gold movies to have a great chill with.
Here are 6 Reddit-approved comedies that will make you laugh to tears.
1. Tropic Thunder (2008)
First comes an action comedy that parodies the tropes of war films, as well as Hollywood movie production as a whole. Its plot revolves around a group of actors making a Vietnam War movie when they’re caught off guard by the death of their director.
2. What We Do in the Shadows (2014)
This mockumentary is probably the most famous vampire movie after Twilight. Taika Waititi’s iconic comedy focuses on the ridiculous exploits of several vampires who live together in a dark apartament, and it won’t leave you indifferent to their awkward adventures.

Since marrying Prince William in 2011, the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) has mastered royal protocol including a proper curtsy. While getting that right may not seem difficult, it is something Meghan Markle admitted she had trouble with at first. During the Sussexes’ Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, the duchess talked about meeting Queen Elizabeth for the first time and being told she had to curtsy.
“I remember we were in the car, driving and he’s [Harry] like, ‘You know how to curtsy, right?’ And I just thought it was a joke,” Meghan recalled.
“Now I’m starting to realize this is a big deal. I mean, Americans will understand this. We have Medieval Times dinner and tournament. It was like that. Like, I curtsied as though I was like … ‘Pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty,'” she said laughing while bowing and spreading out her arms.

American films and television invariably brush up against the issue of language. Since these stories are made for mass appeal — and said mass is English-speaking audiences — the films will depict characters speaking English even if that shouldn't be the case. Take films set during Roman times like "Spartacus" or "Gladiator," which have dialogue spoken only in English, not Latin or even a closer modern stand-in like Italian.
Then there are films with characters from different countries, yet the audience hears them all speaking the same tongue. Some handle this more cleverly than others; in "The Hunt for Red October," the Soviet characters are first heard speaking Russian before a quick switch to English -- letting the audience know while they're hearing English, the characters are hearing Russian.
"Shōgun," which recently went from mini-series to a two-season renewal, makes no attempt to hold its audience's hand. Set in 1600 Japan, Lord Yoshii...

Donald Trump has claimed that he will use his “great” relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin to secure the release of imprisoned Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich.
In a post to Truth Social, Trump said, “Evan Gershkovich, the Reporter from The Wall Street Journal, who Russia is holding, will be released almost immediately after the Election, but definitely before I assume Office. He will be Home, Safe, And With His Family.”
Gershkovich was arrested in Russia in March last year on spying charges. He has spent more than a year in a Moscow prison, with no date set for a trial. The Biden administration and the Wall Street Journal strongly deny the spying charges. U.S. Ambassador Lynne Tracy has visited the journalist in detention and reported that he remains in a “positive mood” as he awaits a trial for a crime he did not commit.

As far as iconic franchises go, George Miller’s Mad Max films are right up there among Hollywood’s favorite film series. Similar to his namesake George Lucas and his brainchild Star Wars, Miller created the dystopian action series back in 1979 with Mel Gibson, which was followed by two successful sequels in the 80s.

Universal Studio Group has greenlit a new live-action horror comedy TV series based on “The Munsters”, titled “1313”, set within the ‘Universal Monsterverse’, from James Wan and Lindsey Anderson Beer:
The original 1960's sitcom depicting the home life of a family of Universal Studio monsters, was created by Allan Burns and Chris Hayward, starring Fred Gwynne as 'Herman Munster' and Yvonne De Carlo as his wife, 'Lily'.
The idea of a family of comical monsters was first suggested to Universal Studios in the late 1940's by animator Bob Clampett who wanted to produce a series of cartoons.
The project didn't see development until the early 1960's, when a treatment for a similar idea was submitted to Universal Studios by "Rocky & Bullwinkle" writers Burns and Hayward. This format was later handed to writers Norm Liebman and Ed Haas, who wrote the pilot script, "Love Thy Monster", retitled as...

Dave Chappelle said Thursday a “genocide” is striking the Gaza Strip amid the Israel-Hamas war to cheers during his performance in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, while urging Americans to fight antisemitism, so Jews don’t feel like they need to be protected by Israel.
Chappelle’s comments come as Abu Dhabi has maintained its diplomatic relations with Israel even as it has increasingly criticized its conduct in the seven-month war.
Meanwhile, while pro-Palestinian marches have swept across the wider Middle East since the war began, protests and speech remain tightly restricted in the Emirates, a federation of seven sheikdoms on the Arabian Peninsula.
Even before Chappelle came on stage, the full crowd at Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena cheered as DJ Trauma, who accompanied Chappelle on the trip, played the song “My Blood Is Palestinian” by the Palestinian singer Mohammed Assaf. The thousands there agreed to...

Unlike a number of recent, high-profile events, last week’s 2024 Webby Awards were not disrupted by protests over Israel’s ongoing war with Hamas. There were no demonstrators visible outside of the event’s Cipriani Wall Street venue in Manhattan, and none of the five-word acceptance speeches delivered onstage on May 13 referenced the Gaza conflict.
But that doesn’t mean the evening was free from hot-button political issues.
Webbys president Claire Graves spoke about the “assault on reproductive rights all over this country” as she introduced Phenomenal Media CEO Meena Harris, who also happens to be Vice President Kamala Harris’ niece, who spoke about abortion restrictions implemented since Roe v. Wade was overturned, as she presented an award to the Plan C documentary about the initiative to increase access to abortion pills.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was also among this year’s winners, receiving an award for her “Governor Barbie” social videos.

Fourteen years after industry giants Live Nation and Ticketmaster came together in a blockbuster, industry-shifting merger, the Department of Justice is hoping for a curtain call.
On Thursday, the DOJ and attorneys general from 29 states and the District of Columbia brought a major antitrust lawsuit against the live entertainment giant, accusing it of maintaining a monopoly over the industry and engaging in anticompetitive practices.

Too many comedians are taking “the path of least resistance” and failing to address contentious political topics, according to the creator of The Thick of It and Veep.
Storied British comedy creator Armando Iannucci said he often hears comics utter phrases like “I have to be careful about what I say,” with his comments coming as both the UK and U.S. warm up for general elections in six weeks and six months respectively.
Speaking at the BBC Comedy Festival in Glasgow, Iannucci urged comedians to meet these challenges head on.
“Comedy is not belittling a subject but if it chooses to look at that subject it is offering a way into it that might offer a surprising or fresh perspective,” he added. “It is asking us to tell ourselves what we think about something, and how we might respond to that.

Updated, 7:58 Am Pt: As expected, the Justice Department sued Live Nation-Ticketmaster today, claiming that the ticketing and concert events giant is stifling competition and driving up prices for consumers.
In response, the self-described “largest live entertainment company in the world” accused the feds of going for a PR hit over the facts of the live music industry.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, also alleges that Live Nation-Ticketmaster punished venues that used more than one ticketer, that it hindered performers’ access to venues and that it bought up competitors, among other things.

Americans don’t want abortion to be banned. In fact, they barely want it legislated at all: A 2024 poll found that 81 percent of voters don’t want abortion issues to be regulated by the government. Instead, they want the decision to be between a patient and their doctor.
That overwhelming support for legal abortion leaves Republicans with a major problem: How do you defend and push a policy that no one wants? In the nearly two years since Roe v. Wade was overturned, the GOP has faced an unprecedented backlash.

Meghan Markle seems unfazed by Prince Harry’s family cancer battle. While Kate Middleton and King Charles have been undergoing cancer treatments and Prince William has been hanging on by a thread, Meghan Markle has been moving full-steam ahead with her Netflix series and new company American Riviera Orchard.
But, that doesn’t mean her political aspirations have been put on the backburner. Will Meghan Markle run for Senate?
Is Meghan Markle Running For Senate
It has been an ongoing joke and rumor that Meghan Markle planned to run for President Of The United States.
Considering the fact that Kanye West campaigned for the position and Americans actually voted for Donald Trump at one point, the idea of Meghan Markle running for President is not as absurd as it sounds.
Meghan Markle’s political aspirations are very real, although she’s never openly stated she planned to run for President.

Generating robust admissions for UK independent film at the global box office remains a challenge, but the figures do not paint the complete picture of what marks a release as a success, according to Stephan De Potter, CEO at Benelux distributor Cineart.
De Potter was talking about the release of Georgia Oakley’s debut Blue Jean, a feature debut and Venice premiere that was backed by BBC Film and the BFI.
It garnered $357,412 at the box office outside of the UK, and $384,232 within the UK, according to Box Office Mojo.
“It was not great [in terms of admissions], but we were very happy,” said De Potter.

Pre-play ads on so-called ‘ad-free’ streaming plans are increasingly common, and we’ll take a look at which streamers are forcing viewers to sit through them.
The one-time idealistic belief that streaming would be ad-free forever has long since been shattered. Streamers are not only spinning up ad-supported plans to tempt price-sensitive customers, they are even going to lengths like discontinuing low-priced ad-free plans and cracking down on account sharing to entice people to opt for ad-supported plans over ad-free versions. Streaming providers simply can’t ignore the revenue available through advertising, and ads have become such necessary income generators that they’ve even seeped onto ad-free plans. The Streamable has observed this trend and wants to help viewers who are shopping for ad-free streaming plans know which services actually provide streaming without commercials.
Key Details: Many ad-free streaming tiers force viewers to sit through an ad for other content available on that service.
