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...

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).

John Oliver is taking on CNBC’s Jim Cramer, again.
Fresh from signing a new three-year deal with HBO, as revealed by Deadline last week, the Last Week Tonight host dinged the Mad Money host in a segment on trains.
Oliver was discussing Hunter Harrison, the train exec responsible for introducing precision scheduled railroading.
“You know a person is pretty awesome if they get a ringing sound effect-laden endorsements on an esteemed show like Big Bucks Word Puke with Captain Money Clown,” he joked.
It is his latest turn roasting former hedge fund manager Cramer. In July 2022, he took on Cramer for not ringing the bell early enough on inflation and early this year he mocked him for his take on crypto.
Oliver also reminded viewers of the dark tone of the Ringo Starr-narrated “sadistic” kids TV series Thomas The Tank Engine a few times during the episode.

Max Meyers has at least one firm rule about his new CNBC program, and it might surprise some of the business-news outlet’s die-hards. “I told everyone, ‘No earnings,’” says Meyers, a veteran producer at the NBCUniversal-backed cable network. “I don’t want to hear that.”
No net income on CNBC? Such a dictate would be anathema on “Squawk Box,” the morning-news program that Meyers previously ran, but it might just stick on “Last Call,” a new 7 p.m. effort from CNBC executives that aims to keep business-news aficionados hanging out with the network until later in the evening. Over the past week, anchor Brian Sullivan, who is moving from a 5 a.m. roost on “Worldwide Exchange” to anchor the new evening show, has held forth on everything from Tesla to Salesforce during rehearsals, ready to give late-breaking news to CNBC’s market faithful.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were one of the defining power couples of the 2000s. The reasons weren’t all positive, however. As with all of Cruise’s marriages, his time with the former Dawson’s Creek actor was something of a strange public spectacle thanks to his involvement with the Church of Scientology.
Holmes was distressingly quiet about her situation while married to the Top Gun star. Eventually, she had a dramatic split with both Cruise, and the clutches of the notoriously possessive Scientology leadership. While not all the details are public knowledge, there are a few shocking details out there about how Holmes got away from Scientology and her superstar ex-husband.

In a bright, wide-open studio at Fox News’ Manhattan headquarters, where cable-news programs often stick to tried-and-true formats, Dagen McDowell and Sean Duffy are trying something a little unexpected: an experiment.
Larry Kudlow just wrapped his after-market Fox Business program, and the duo are taking advantage of the empty facility to rehearse banter for their new show, “Bottom Line,” slated to debut Monday evening at 6 p.m. Sure, they strike familiar chords, with a segment that examines how President Joe Biden’s White House has grappled with continued revelations of classified documents being found in his offices that eventually segues into a discussion of his son, Hunter Biden. But McDowell, a longtime correspondent, and Duffy, the former Republican Congressman from Wisconsin. are also trying to create new music.

Jim Cramer has signed a new deal with CNBC that includes continuing Mad Money w/Jim Cramer and Squawk on the Street as well as the creation of a new subscription product, CNBC Investor Club.
Cramer also will provide articles and videos each day on CNBC’s digital offerings. The new agreement also will include the creation of conferences with Cramer, tapping into the lucrative events business.
The subscription product will be a venture between CNBC and Cramer Digital in which members will get his “unparalleled knowledge and analysis of portfolio management and investing and give behind-the-scenes access to Cramer and his team,” the network said in announcing the deal. Cramer will work with Margaret de Luna, who was former president and COO of The Street, which Cramer founded. De Luna is general manager and senior vice president of CNBC’s direct-to-consumer business.

AT&T continues to take a licking heading into the weekend with mogul Barry Diller describing plans to unload WarnerMedia as “a great escape” and calling its three-year dalliance with showbiz the telco giant’s latest bungle in a string of bad deals.
Never one to mince words, the founder of sprawling digital powerhouse Iac and former head of Fox and Paramount said, “It’s the power of monopoly. I mean, Ma Bell should have been dead and buried by now. I mean, they go into cable, only a few years later to say ‘oh my god we made a mistake’ and sell it. They go into Direct [DirecTV], and go into Time Warner with an idea, but certainly not fully fledged, and then they go about basically, I think, hurting Time Warner assets.”
AT&T acquired John Malone’s cable operator Tci in 1999, later selling the business to Charter and Comcast.

Rick Santelli, the veteran CNBC correspondent, recently got into an on-air spat with one of his longtime colleagues. Whether he will be given leeway to spar in similar fashion with new co-workers elsewhere in the company is something executives at NBCUniversal ought to work quickly to decide.
During an early-December panel on the business-news network’s “Squawk Box,” Santelli began to yell at Andrew Ross Sorkin, who pressed him on comments he had made about coronavirus restrictions at restaurants. Sorkin pushed his colleague to exercise greater caution about suggesting viewers should be able to crowd into restaurants the way they do into retail outlets.
“Who is this? Who is this?” asked Santelli, even though Sorkin has been a co-host of the program for almost a decade. As Sorkin prodded Santelli to reconsider what he said, the correspondent went into an on-air huff. “I disagree. I disagree! I disagree!” said Santelli,...

NBCUniversal tried to harness two Fox News anchors in the recent past and failed. Now the company no doubt hopes the third time’s the charm.
The company’s CNBC on Wednesday evening launched former Fox News daytime anchor Shepard Smith in a new 7 p.m. news hour that, as Smith himself described it, aims to give viewers “journalists and experts, not opinions and pundits.” The business-news network clearly has some ambition for the new program. It hired a well-known producer, Molly Kordares, from “CBS Evening News,” lured Sally Ramirez, a top news executive from a major-market CBS affiliate in Houston, and assigned one of its veterans, Sandy Cannold, to oversee the project.
Several Fox News personalities who have left that outlet have gained new recognition for their newsgathering or anchoring skills, including Major Garrett and Catherine Herridge at CBS News and Alisyn Camerota at CNN. But NBC News has...

CNBC’s Jim Cramer apologized for calling House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “Crazy Nancy” to her face during an interview earlier on Tuesday.
“I made a very stupid comment,” Cramer said during Tuesday night’s “Mad Money.” “It was a tongue-in-cheek attempt to make a point about the harsh tone of the negotiations in Washington, but it fell completely flat, and I apologize for that. As I said immediately after the comment, I want to make it clear that I have an incredible amount of respect for both the speaker and, of course, the office she holds.”
The comment in question took place during a “Squawk on the Street” interview about the new round of coronavirus stimulus legislation being negotiated over in Congress.
“I mean, what deal can we have, Crazy Nancy?” Cramer said, referencing the moniker the president frequently uses for Pelosi. The CNBC host then quickly added, “I’m sorry.

CNBC’s Jim Cramer apologized Tuesday after critics derided his use of the epithet “Crazy Nancy” during an interview with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a relatively rare example of the business-news outlet’s on-air personnel getting mixed up in news-cycle politics.
Cramer was questioning Pelosi about negotiations for new coronavirus relief, and appeared to use the “Crazy Nancy” phrase in describing the White House position. But he quickly realized he had blundered. “I’m sorry. I — that was the president. I have such reverence for the office, I would never use that term,” Cramer said, immediately after using it. “But you just did,” Pelosi responded. Cramer then continued on with the interview.
Detractors on Twitter called him to account, prompting him to address the issue. “When you criticize the president by mentioning what he calls the Speaker of the House, you should not be criticized for mentioning the terrible name he calls her,...

As one of the weirder “back to school” seasons in living memory rolls out, Hulu is heading back to school in its own way for September 2020.
The biggest Hulu original arriving to the streaming services stream this month is season 2 of coming-of-age comedy Pen15…which of course stars two adults who have already come of age playing their middle school selves.
Speaking of middle school, perhaps the biggest non-original addition to the Hulu library this month is the arrival of all The Twilight Saga movies on September 1. That should prove to be a real nostalgia trip for interested parties. Other library titles of note include Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, The Terminator, and 2019’s Judy on September 25.
Bookending Hulu’s originals this month is another intriguing comedy, Woke. This series will star Lamorne Morris as a Black cartoonist who gets an unexpected wakeup call.

After reaching an all-time high of $236 on Monday and $241.76 on Wednesday, Spotify’s stock closed even higher on Thursday — at $267.48 per share — boosted by an upgrade from Goldman Sachs, which raised its price target from $205 to $280.
The company singled out its recent podcast acquisitions and new advertising technology that has increased its revenue and subscribers, although its most recent numbers — 130 million paid subscribers and 286 million total global users — were announced in its last quarterly earnings call at the end of April.
Still, the boost is remarkable, considering that the stock was priced at $118 million in March. The company has been on a podcast acquisition binge in recent months, inking deals with Warner Bros. and DC for exclusive scripted podcasts and landing the popular “Joe Rogan Experience” — which is No. 2 on Apple podcasts — via a multi-year licensing deal reported to be for $100 million and one with Kim Kardashian West for one on criminal-justice reform.

A half-decade after passing the Daily Show baton to Trevor Noah, Jon Stewart is reflecting on what he deems to be the biggest failure of his 16-year run as host.
Speaking to the New York Times, Stewart says his incendiary 2009 interview with CNBC Mad Money host Jim Cramer about the 2008 financial crisis created an unfortunate “evisceration expectation” among viewers. “That’s the part of it that I probably most regret,” he bemoans. “Those moments when you had a tendency, even subconsciously, to feel like, ‘’We have to live up to the evisceration expectation.’’ We tried not to give something more spice than it deserved,...

Comedy Central is stepping on the gas in its digital-entertainment drive with the launch of its first YouTube channel for originals.
The Viacom-owned brand is touting the new Comedy Central Originals YouTube channel as a “one-stop shop for the very best digital original comedy.” The channel (available at this link) launched Wednesday (March 6) and will feature a slate of new and returning series, stand-up and social content, and is set to release about five new pieces of weekly, said Jen Danielson, Comedy Central’s senior VP of digital.
Comedy Central already has a primary YouTube channel, which has included original shows like short-form mockumentary series “Mini-Mocks” and commercial parody series “As Seen on Cc.” But overall, it’s largely tied to the TV channel. Jen Danielson, Comedy Central’s senior VP of digital, said it became clear there was an opportunity for a separate destination to feature its digital-only content and talent.

Callie Khouri shifted the attention off herself Tuesday night and on to the assault and hospitalization of “Empire” star Jussie Smollett in Chicago earlier that day.
Khouri, the Oscar-winning writer of “Thelma & Louise” and the creator of the series “Nashville,” made her remarks at the Paramount Theatre in Hollywood during her induction into the Final Draft Hall of Fame. She emphasized the role that writers play in troubled times.
“I decided to talk about our responsibility as storytellers,” she said. “We have to help each other understand how connected we are. We are seeing things in 2019 that would not look out of place in 1939 and that’s a failure of our society, so we have to keep telling our stories.”
Khouri admitted that it’s still a challenge to make herself write. “I would be most qualified to write about how to avoid writing because that’s what I’m best at,...

The U.S. Department of Justice is still building its case against At&T’s $85.4 billion acquisition of Time Warner, but some analysts believe the mega-merger will go through anyway.
In a lawsuit attempting to block the At&T-Time Warner deal, the DoJ has argued the vertical merger would be detrimental to consumers. The government says a combined At&T-Time Warner could use its newfound leverage to raise licensing fees, charging more for its channels, which would in turn raise costs for viewers.
But Btig analyst Rich Greenfield doesn’t think the DoJ has done enough at this point to back up that claim.
“The government has so far failed to show that vertical integration, even with must-have content, has historically led to higher prices for programming,” Greenfield wrote in a note to investors. “While predicting the outcome of a complex trial, particularly with a judge who has limited anti-trust case history, is challenging at-best, so far it appears the government has struggled to prove its theories of harm.”

Greenfield is not alone in his optimism for a go-ahead outcome. Before the trial started, CNBC “Mad Money” host Jim Cramer opined At&T would likely win the case and that its stock was a “Buy.”
However, the market itself doesn’t seem as confident as Cramer does. Shares of At&T are down about 5 percent from the stock’s closing price the trading day before its trial began on March 19. As for Time Warner, well, its stock is up all of 6 cents since just before the opening gavel.
Here are snapshots of the past month of trading for both public companies:

Meanwhile, John Bergmayer, senior counsel for telecommunications and internet law public interest advocacy group Public Knowledge, argues that the DoJ has actually made a pretty strong case.
“They have presented good evidence that there has been a violation of the Clayton Act,” Bergmayer told TheWrap, referring to the 1914 antitrust amendment that focuses on price discrimination, price fixing and unfair business practices.
“And I think [the DoJ’s star witness, economist and Berkeley professor] Carl Shapiro presented a strong case and held up to some tough questioning.”
On Wednesday, Shapiro testified that if the proposed combination of At&T-Time Warner is approved, consumers could be paying an extra $571 million annually by 2021. At&T-Time Warner’s witness disagreed but, Bergmayer told TheWrap, “At&T’s counter-evidence, by contrast, isn’t persuasive, and it often just promises that the company wouldn’t do the things it has every economic incentive to do.”
Also Read: Here's Everything You Need to Know About the U.S. Gov's Lawsuit to Kill the At&T-Time Warner Merger
Right now both sides appear to be hitting the notes they need to hit, according to Georgetown economics and law professor Steven Salop.
“It’s very hard to know who’s winning. It’s not like a football game,” Salop told TheWrap. “A lot is going to rest on how the judge interprets and uses in his analysis the At&T-Time Warner arbitration provision.”
The arbitration provision essentially says that At&T won’t black out Time Warner channels during negotiations with carriers, and it requires the combined company to enlist an arbiter to use fair market value to determine prices for things like licensing fees.
But in an article cowritten with Public Knowledge CEO Gene Kimmelman this month, Salop said he doesn’t think the arbitration is enough. Among the many issues Salop and Kimmelman identify is that the agreement doesn’t include HBO, nor does it include any new Time Warner networks.
At this point, how the trial shakes out all comes down to Richard Leon of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, a judge who is not an antitrust expert. In other words, your guess is as good as ours (or Greenfield’s, or Cramer’s, or Shapiro’s, or Bergmayer’s, or Salop’s, or…)
At&T and Time Warner did not respond to TheWrap’s requests for comment on this story. A rep for the U.S. Department of Justice did respond, though just to say, “Per Judge Leon’s instructions to the parties, we aren’t commenting on the case.”

Nobody is more virile than a blind man in a bad movie. From Army Ranger Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade in “Scent of a Woman” to Virgil Adamson in “At First Sight,” these characters are cartoons of masculinity, using their dicks like antennae as they help guide the sighted people in their lives towards some kind of personal growth. While blind women are often rendered as pretty, pitiable things in desperate need of assistance (a trope that Charlie Chaplin inadvertently helped cement in “City Lights,” and that Lars von Trier very deliberately weaponized in “Dancer in the Dark”), their male counterparts are seen as horny, feral animals who compensate for their sightlessness with bat-like sonar and a bloodhound’s sense of smell.
And so we end up with movies like Michael Mailer’s divertingly banal “Blind,” in which Alec Baldwin plays a vision-impaired (but hyper-sexual) writer who can tell from halfway...

CNBC’s Jim Cramer is known for his voluble stock advocacy, but the “Mad Money” host also made a key contribution to contemporary Wall Street lexicon, as he’s the one who coined “Fang” as a term for the stocks of Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google parent Alphabet. And those Fang stocks had quite a bite in 2015, when they averaged a robust 83 percent increase — during a year when the S&P 500 actually finished down less than 1 percent. Netflix, which jumped 134 percent in 2015, was the top performing stock in the entire S&P 500. The four Fang companies couldn’t...

Everyone has to forge their own path to Hollywood’s highest honors, but “Jackie” screenwriter Noah Oppenheim charted a particularly eccentric course. A Harvard grad, he got his start in media by co-creating “Mad Money with Jim Cramer” and producing “Hardball with Chris Matthews.” After a stint supervising the 7am hour of “The Today Show,” Oppenheim ditched television for books, co-authoring a series of secular devotional readers designed to “arouse curiosity” and “refresh knowledge.” And then he pivoted again, adapting screenplays for mega-budget Ya movies like “Allegiant” and “The Maze Runner.”
With that resumé, a piercing and deeply felt story of an American icon at the height of her grief isn’t the obvious next step. Then again, maybe a fraught, complex, and ineffably humanizing portrait of Jackie Kennedy in the immediate aftermath of her husband’s assassination — a portrait designed to liberate the former First Lady from the petrified...

Hey, anybody want an “old guys rob banks” movie that’s sort of like Last Vegas meets The Crew, The Bucket List, About Schmidt, Mad Money, and Dirty Grandpa? Plus, to sweeten the deal, it’s directed by Zach Braff, the auteur behind Wish I Was Here? That sound good to anyone? If so, Warner Bros. has a brand new trailer for a comedy called Going In Style, scheduled for release in the U.S. and U.K on April 7, 2017. The two-and-a-half-minute promo is actually something of a minor miracle, since there’s not one nanosecond of it that feels remotely spontaneous. It’s fashioned entirely from recycled material, right down to the use of “Highway To Hell” by AC/DC on the soundtrack.

When he was growing up, Jim Cramer says he would hear other kids talk about something that he didn't have: money.
"I would always hear about people getting an allowance, and I said, 'Why don't I have one?' " Cramer, 61, tells People in this week's issue. "My father said, 'For what?' I was like, 'I get the picture. I'll go to work.' "
It was this self-reliance and drive – not to mention a killer skill selling ice cream and soda at Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium – that set Cramer on a path to his financial empire and TV career, as host of CNBC's Mad Money.

I was like, 'I get the picture. I'll go to work.' " It was this self-reliance and drive - not to mention a killer skill selling ice cream and soda at Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium - that set Cramer on a path to his financial empire and TV career,...

25th Anniversary Five-Part Mini Series Event
When we left our heroines in Pt 1 of our 25th anniversary lookback at Thelma & Louise, they were fleeing the scene of their (first) crime but Louise needed a cup of coffee and to collect herself. Anne Marie & Margaret, our own superheroine duo in Los Angeles were grappling with the surprise killing of a would be rapist. Was it rage and pride that motivated Louise to shoot after she had already saved Thelma? It certainly provoked audiences but was there any other way to play the film's themes?
Louise is trying to plot their next move when we return to them, just before they jump back in their '66 Thunderbird - Editor
Pt 2 by Nick Davis
Now's not the time to panic. If we panic now, we're done for."

Money Monster has all the ingredients of a timely thriller: an explosive hostage situation, a critique of our current economic system, and major movie stars in the form of George Clooney and Julia Roberts. However, what unfolds onscreen is a simplistic and obvious expose about the manipulative power of both Wall Street and the media that by now is so familiar that its cynical perspective is unlikely to upset or provoke anyone. Perhaps a decade or two ago Money Monster would have been a compelling film experience but in this day and age it’s just picking obvious targets.
Money Monster stars Julia Roberts as Patty Fenn, a TV producer who spends the entire film in a control room full of consoles, monitors and engineers. Down on the studio floor Clooney plays Lee Gates, the hyperactive host of a show called Money Monster (based not-so-loosely on Jim Cramer’s CNN...

Ooh, la la! George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Jodie Foster enchanted the Cannes Film Festival crowd Thursday when they posed for photos prior to a press conference to promote their latest thriller, Money Monster, which is screening out of competition at the prestigious event. Clooney, 55, opted for an all-black ensemble as he stood alongside Foster, 53, who was all smiles in a white dress and strappy heels. Roberts, meanwhile, exuded European chic in a pinstripe jumpsuit and black heels. The trio were joined by costar Jack O'Connell, who plays an unhinged investor who hijacks the financial show hosted by Clooney's character.

The Jodie Foster-directed satire about the financial meltdown isn’t especially original, but it’s arguably more honest than Oscar favourite The Big Short
A miasma of pure silliness settles on this movie directed by Jodie Foster, showing here in Cannes out of competition; it deserves a genre of its own: screwball action. Julia Roberts plays a harassed TV producer who has to keep in line her waning star: Lee Gates, played by George Clooney, the ego-crazed, silver-fox presenter of a TV show called Money Monster, giving stock picks and spurious shock-jock-type commentary on the market, celebrating unfettered capitalism by breaking into embarrassingly geriatric hip-hop moves with backing dancers. (He reportedly bears a certain resemblance to a real-life pundit: Jim Cramer, presenter of a programme called Mad Money, on CNBC.)

After the high of Cappy returning to the screen, we take a bit of a break this time around with two smaller affairs on the docket. Get ready for The Darkness and Money Monster. Just remember, I'm not reviewing these movies, but rather predicting where they'll end up on the Tomatometer. Let's take a look at This Rotten Week has to offer. Rotten Watch Prediction 67% Who hasn’t watched Mad Money with Jim Cramer and wanted to commit some kind of act of violence? I’m not advocating it of course, but dude’s style just isn’t conducive to remaining calm with a little light, afternoon stock market talk. It’s loud, brash and generally worthless advice. So in this film they flip that up a bit by taking dude hostage and exposing the onion-like layers of the big ...

As Julia Roberts' character puts it: "This isn't good." In this tense exclusive clip from the upcoming film Money Monster, an unhinged investor who lost everything menacingly paces around the studio of a financial show modeled after CNBC's Mad Money while it's live on the air.

"This isn't good, Lee," producer Patty Fenn (Roberts) says to Gates through a headset from the control room into his earpiece. Clooney, meanwhile, covertly eyes a...
