It’s never been easier to cut the cord with some of the best deals on live TV streaming services and on-demand video platforms. For Memorial Day, movie and TV lovers can save nearly 70 percent on Peacock, while other streamers are enticing potential subscribers with free trials of up to 30 days. For those unfamiliar with how streaming services work, all most people need is an internet connection to watch live TV and on-demand movies and shows. (Those in more rural areas may need satellite service.) Online cable alternatives such as Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV, Fubo, YouTube TV and others allow subscribers to watch local channels (including ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CW and others) as well as national news, entertainment and sports networks such as CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, FS1, TBS, TNT, Lifetime, Investigation Discovery, Paramount Network...

In Los Angeles, a car completes the look. It’s the last article of clothing that we put on before heading out, an accessory, like shoes, that is at once intensely personal and a functional necessity. Our cars are meant to telegraph our achievements, our sense of self, even our political and social beliefs — witness all the Teslas in the Netflix lot plastered with “Elon Sucks”-style bumper stickers. But they are also our Wakanda, a protective sanctuary, armoring and enriching us in our voyage between home, work, meetings and social engagements. L.A.’s streets and highways thus become a catwalk, and nearly everyone — from the valet at Musso & Frank to the guy waiting at the bus stop bench to one’s boss — is an Anna Wintour-level critic: deeply aware of the context and category and ready to...

The American Cinematheque is set to give its top honor to Michael B. Jordan. Jordan as an actor, director and producer will be honored with the 39th American Cinematheque Award on Nov. 20 during a gala ceremony in Beverly Hills. American Cinematheque board chair Rick Nicita, while announcing the selection, said in a statement, “the career of Michael B. Jordan has been an unparalleled showcase for the combination of superb talent and purposeful vision that has made him a major power in today’s movie business.” Jordan had early roles in Friday Night Lights and Parenthood and a 2013 breakout performance in Fruitvale Station. He then rose in Hollywood with star turns in Black Panther and three Creed movies, including his directorial debut Creed 3. “He has become a prolific producer with multiple projects across our business and his philanthropic activities are many and wide-ranging. Most recently, his outstanding performances (yes, two...

The stress on display in The Studio isn’t always artifice. Just off camera from the chaos of cringe into which Seth Rogen’s beleaguered film executive is thrown, the creative team undertook some borderline masochistic shoots — while juggling a circus of A-list cameos. “The most pressure I felt was that we’d convinced all of these people to come on our show,” says Rogen, the Apple TV+ comedy’s star and co-creator. “Some of them we know very, very well. Some of them we didn’t know at all. I just wanted them to be happy with this experience.” Adding to that pressure, most of the guest stars showed up to the first season of the Hollywood satire to play themselves under heightened circumstances. Zoë Kravitz overdosed on psychedelic mushrooms. A weeping Martin Scorsese collapsed into Steve Buscemi’s arms. Ron Howard being a dick. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos even popped up...

You’re watching The Studio, and every minute pretty much seems to bring another A-lister who either makes a two-minute appearance or has a multiple-episode arc. It starts out with Bryan Cranston, who stars as Continental Studios CEO Griffin Mill  – and throughout the first season, stars like Zoë Kravitz, Dave Franco, Olivia Wilde, Adam Scott, Charlize Theron, Ron Howard, Zac Efron, Steve Buscemi, Quinta Brunson, Greta Lee, Anthony Mackie, Ted Sarandos… the list goes on and on (here’s a full list of guest stars). While the star caliber is massive, there was one clear “white whale” that co-creators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg were going for — and actually got. “I feel like they got their white whale, which was Martin Scorsese,” casting director Melissa Kostenbauder tells THR. “I know what big fans they are, and truly everyone is of Marty, and...

David E. Kelley is set to receive the Visionary Tribute at the 2025 Gotham TV Awards, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Kelley is being recognized for his work as showrunner on Apple TV+’s Presumed Innocent TV series, the first season of which starred Jake Gyllenhaal, as well as his long Emmy-winning career, including his work on such memorable series as L.A. Law; Doogie Howser, M.D.; Chicago Hope; The Practice; Ally McBeal; and Big Little Lies. The Visionary Tribute is designed to recognize boundary-pushing work that will inspire the next generation of storytellers. “David’s commitment to crafting complex characters, tackling difficult social issues, and consistently elevating television as an art form embodies the spirit of innovation that The Gotham champions,” Gotham Film & Media Institute executive director Jeffrey Sharp said in a statement. “From his extraordinary breakout writing on L.A. Law to creating cultural touchstones such as Doogie Howser, M.D., Picket...
