One of the most notable changes involves the permanent shutdown of Spectrum Sports Hawaii. This dedicated cable channel, which had long served as a key source for local…
Shailene Woodley couldn’t resist a little celebrity name dropping at Televerse 26. During a panel for Hulu’s Emmy-nominated drama Paradise — where Woodley is up for Best Drama Guest Actress — she credited George Clooney, her costar on 2011’s The Descendants, with shaping the way she’s carried herself on set ever since. The panel brought together Woodley, Sterling K. Brown, Julianne Nicholson, director Hanelle Culpepper, visual effects supervisor John Weckworth, and casting director Josh Einsohn to look back on a season that awarded Paradise seven Emmy nominations, including Best Drama Series. Asked how the show’s directors create room for the…
There are plenty of reasons to scream out loud this August. Gas prices are still shockingly high, Ryan Murphy just debuted another critically reviled Hulu show and Ben Affleck and J.Lo still haven’t reconciled. There’s also a slew of new horror movies streaming on popular platforms such as Netflix, HBO Max and Hulu. Watch With Us has rounded up the best of the new batch this month, with the Netflix original flick The Last House at the top of our list. We also recommend director Zach Cregger’s breakout 2022 hit Barbarian, with Georgina Campbell and Justin Long, and a ‘70s-set…
Michael B Jordan on the red carpetPA Images/INSTARimages The last few years have been nothing short of a massive breakout for Michael B. Jordan, who was already one of the biggest stars in the world thanks to his villainous role as Killmonger in the first Black Panther movie. In 2025, Jordan reunited with his long-time director and friend Ryan Coogler for the vampire horror sensation, Sinners, which grossed over $370 million at the box office to become one of the highest-grossing original films of all time. Jordan even won the Oscar for Best Lead Actor for his dual performance as…

Google us!” The second season of MobLand will consist of ten episodes as Conrad and Maeve Harrigan (Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren) attempt to show a unified front as “rising rivals threaten their fractured criminal empire.” But tensions within the family intensify, making things difficult for their fixer, Harry Da Souza (Tom Hardy). Brosnan, Hardy, and Mirren will be joined by…
A toast is in order for Arthur, which became a comedy classic despite a quiet release 45 years ago. After penning Carl Reiner’s 1978 comedy The One and Only starring Henry Winkler, Steve Gordon was hired to direct his own Arthur script for Orion. Gordon initially considered George Segal and John Belushi for the title role before casting Dudley Moore off the success of 10, in which the actor starred opposite Bo Derek. Arthur centers on alcoholic playboy Arthur Bach, who will be cut off from his family fortune unless he marries a woman he doesn’t love, which becomes complicated…

There’s a fine art to crafting a show’s title sequence. It needs to be instantly catchy — matched with a good theme song — while revealing characters or plot. And it has to be repeatable. The perfect openings are the ones that are unskippable, whether it’s because they offer story teases (see: Only Murders in the Building) or because they just too damned compelling (see: Peacemaker). One of this year’s standouts is Murderbot. The intro to the Apple TV sci-fi series, based on the bestselling Murderbot Diaries book series by Martha Wells and produced by Paul and Chris Weitz (whose…
The “dark Academia” trend is prevalent for fall 2026, backed by designer collections like that of Miu Miu and Alaia, that celeb fans can’t get enough of.

The death-and-taxes certainty of Hong Sangsoo‘s filmography — comparable to Woody Allen’s prime career run in its regularity, consistency and recurrence of ideas and actors across a gently varying tonal spectrum — has lately been infused with some mild unpredictability. Earlier this year, his Berlinale premiere “The Day She Returns” continued an occasional experimental jag in which story and imagery alike are left out of focus; the forbidding title “Nowhere to Lay My Eyes” might hint at more of the same. Instead, the director’s 35th feature is as classically and welcomingly Hong as it gets: a brief, bittersweet comedy of…
