The Oscars may be silly, and the Golden Globes unnecessary, but the Golden Raspberry Awards, aka The Razzies, are straight-up trash.

As we’ve mentioned before, the “parody” awards show honoring Hollywood’s “worst” movies is arguably just a lame cash grab, with a membership system that feels distinctly pyramid scheme-esque. Then there’s the organization’s history of misogyny and transphobia, and the fact they once nominated a 12-year-old child for “Worst Actress.”

Now we find out that, in addition to all of that, the Razzies don’t even give the “winners” actual awards to take home?

Dakota Johnson recently guested on Amy Poehler’s podcast Good Hang and, naturally, the subject of Madame Web came up. The 2024 Marvel comics-inspired bomb famously starred Johnson as a psychic whose mom died in the Amazon while researching spiders.

Madame Web “won” three Razzies, including Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay and Worst Actress for Johnson.

Looking for fresh content to stream this June? Well, you’re at the right place, as Hulu’s lineup is brimming with a mix of nostalgia favorites and exciting new releases. From Big Eden’s 25th anniversary celebration to the heartfelt rom-com Boy Meets Girl, there’s something for every viewer.

Moreover, along with these two, you’d also get a mix of action, drama, comedy, and maybe even a few surprises you didn’t see coming. But it would definitely be worth it, as the streaming service is bringing a plethora of projects for you to choose from. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s check out what’s landing this June!

Movies and TV shows landing on Hulu in June 2025

Summer’s here, and Hulu is all set to turn up the heat with a fresh lineup of movies and television shows that keep you entertained. That...

This month, you can find lots of new movies and shows added to Hulu. From classic hits like Alien and Big Fish to new series like Call Her Alex and The Snake, there’s something for everyone.

Don’t miss popular Hulu Originals like Predator: Killer of Killers and Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything. Plus, some favorites like Christmas with the Campbells will be leaving soon, so be sure to watch before they go!

Let’s check out the full list.

While the Max rebrand back to HBO Max has the streaming world in a tizzy, it’s worth remembering the significance of keeping diverse subscriptions. While “Hacks” and “The Last of Us” wrap up over on that side of your library, the Hulu and Disney bundle is essential for maximizing this summer’s offerings.

Disney+ continues to be the go-to streamer for family friendly viewing options; this month, they’ll add the official “Frozen” Broadway musical to that library, along with Marvel’s “Ironheart,” about Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) who was introduced in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”

Hulu has everything you need for an “Alien” movie marathon, all to gear up for FX’s “Alien: Earth” which premieres in August. You could also do a “Mamma Mia!” marathon or “Bachelor” binge — we’re not here to judge.

Top Pick: “The Bear” Season 4 (Available on Hulu)

Much as we are not...

Tom Green's bafflingly stupid and admittedly "disjointed" Freddy Got Fingered is regarded as one of the worst cinematic atrocities ever staged. And despite all the criticism he absorbed, there was one unlikely man who still championed him. The same man who awarded his movie zero stars out of four, Roger Ebert. Full of disgusting scenes pieced together without any semblance of a meaningful or engaging plot, not even fans of The Tom Green Show could wrap their minds around it. The Canadian's mainstream directing career was over as soon as it began.

20-something years following that dismal experience, he revealed a dire but all-too-common story, the "uncut" version fatefully derailed in post-production. Green's movie career never recovered post-2001, the provocateur easing into the goofy uncle of the comedy community in the podcast era. In one such interview, he quietly dropped a bombshell, explaining how his dream movie was...

Tom Green recently found himself letting go of his past by plunging headfirst into it.

The star — known for his 1990s sketch series The Tom Green Show, roles in films like Road Trip and touring as a stand-up — has launched three projects in the past few weeks. After buying a farm in his native Canada, his new lifestyle is documented in Tom Green Country; additionally, he stars in the comedy special Tom Green: I Got A Mule! and directed the feature documentary This Is the Tom Green Documentary about his life and career. (All three are currently streaming on Amazon’s Prime Video.)

As he continues to look to the future, having recently established his production company to develop other new ventures, Green has found some solace in reflecting on his past. After all, the star is known for ruffling feathers, with The Tom Green Show landing a high-profile MTV...

When Tom Green comes on stage to a raucous standing ovation for his new special, I Got a Mule!, we see a man, now 53, with a long beard with plenty of gray in it. He’s wearing cowboy boots and jeans. It’s almost a shock that he doesn’t have a lasso as well. The daredevil look that was once his trademark — the one we saw him wield on The Tom Green Show, first in its original Canadian iteration and then, later, on MTV — is long gone, replaced with a warm, weathered smile. He grabs the mic and the first thing out of his mouth is more a statement than a joke: “This is what I look like now.” Many things may have changed about Green, but that ironic, slightly antagonistic, disarmingly funny tone of voice is still evident.

I Got a Mule!, which premiered on Prime Video last month,...

As further evidence that we may be living through a Greenassaince, comedian Tom Green is the subject of a new documentary on Amazon Prime, appropriately titled This Is the Tom Green Documentary.

The doc runs through Green’s life and career, editing archival clips of his show with slow-motion footage of him riding a horse on his farm, presumably in an effort to appeal to fans of Yellowstone.

While we all know about Green’s controversial movie Freddy Got Fingered, his brief marriage to Drew Barrymore and the time that he partnered with Monica Lewinsky to troll the entirety of the news media, a less-well known aspect of Green’s story is that he inadvertently inspired the creation of one of the most popular, and controversial, podcasts of all-time.

Following the cancellation of MTV’s The New Tom Green Show in 2003, Green decided to build a late-night talk show set in his living room,...

Leos Carax isn’t the only recent filmmaker turning the camera lens on himself. One of the most brilliant comedic minds to emerge at the turn of the millennium, Tom Green made waves on MTV, in feature films, and as of the last many years, taking a more personal, direct approach to reaching his fans. He’s now returning this month with three new projects, all coming to Prime Video.

First up, this Friday, This Is The Tom Green Documentary, directed by Green himself, will arrive. Here’s the synopsis: “This Amazon Original documentary follows Tom Green’s career as a trailblazing influence on comedy, film, television, and internet culture. With thousands of hours of digitalized personal footage, rare episodes, and unseen raw footage from past series and films, the documentary captures the early days of his humble beginnings in Canada, to stardom in Hollywood, as he goes full circle...

Anyone who grew up in the '90s knows who Tom Green is, and if you don't, well, you're about to thanks to Amazon, who have announced three new projects with the legendary comedian. Green was a staple on MTV from 1994 to 2000 with The Tom Green Show, and later transitioned into films. He starred in such offbeat comedies as Road Trip, Freddy Got Fingered, and Stealing Harvard, while also appearing in the reboot of Charlie's Angels alongside Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Prime Video will debut three new projects with Green, all coming by the end of January. Not only is he the star of each one, but he also directed them as well, and serves as an executive producer with Rory Rosegarten through his Tom Green Productions Canada banner. First up on the list is This Is the Tom Green Documentary, which "will...

Tom Green, the one-of-a-kind funnyman who rose to fame with the success of The Tom Green Show on MTV, is returning to the small screen. Courtesy of Prime Video, there will be three all-new projects from Green made available for streaming this month.

The new projects released this month include a documentary, a new comedy special, and a reality series. Releasing on Jan. 24, This Is The Tom Green Documentary follows Green's career "as a trailblazing influence on comedy, film, television, and internet culture. With thousands of hours of digitalized personal footage, rare episodes, and unseen raw footage from past series and films, the documentary captures the early days of his humble beginnings in Canada, to stardom in Hollywood, as he goes full circle and returns to his roots moving from his LA home to a rural farm in the country." Green opens up on his journey in the doc, touching...

Fresh off the critical re-evaluation of his revolting film debut Freddy Got Fingered, Tom Green sat down with Graham Bensinger for an extended interview covering his life and career, up to and including the time he teamed up with Monica Lewinsky to troll every media outlet in North America.

Play

They also discussed the early years of The Tom Green Show, and how he had to battle MTV over its content. Not because the network had a problem with potentially offensive pranks, like the time he turned his parents’ car into “The Slutmobile.”

Nope, they just didn’t want any hideously old people on the air. You know, like a 36-year-old.

Green explained that, when the show first began on Ottawa’s local public access channel back in 1994, he was still in college studying television broadcasting. This meant that he was able to edit segments himself, which quickly led him...

We’ve talked before about Criterion, the home video company that celebrates the medium of film with prestige releases of great works of cinema, which they then use as bait to trap celebrities in their closet. Does someone want to check on Jude Law real quick and make sure that he got out okay?

Criterion also has its very own streaming app, the Criterion Channel, which allows subscribers to pay $10.99 a month in order to feel extra guilty for binging the entirety of Riverdale while the complete films of Ingmar Bergman remain untouched.

But the Criterion Channel doesn’t just contain foreign and arthouse classics, they’ve also expanded to include some less-obvious choices. Like how they included Tom Green’s Freddy Got Fingered in their Razzie-themed program earlier this year.

Play

Well, next month they’ll be streaming a whole new collection, one that showcases movies that were all...

Now that they’ve set the year’s best film for a December 10 debut, the Criterion Channel have unveiled the rest of next month’s selection. John Waters’ films are inseparable from John Waters’ presence, making fitting Criterion’s decision to pair an eight-film retrospective (Multiple Maniacs to Cecil B. Demented) with his own “Adventures in Moviegoing” wherein the director extols virtues of Bergman, Chabrol, Barbara Loden, and Samuel Fuller. His own Polyester will have a Criterion Edition alongside the Bob Dylan doc Don’t Look Back, an iconic film in its own right and, I think, fitting companion to The Unknown with Lon Chaney, also streaming on Criterion. No Country for Old Men and Election receive likewise treatment; the latter appears in “MTV Productions,” a series featuring Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, The Original Kings of Comedy, and (coming close to Freddy Got Fingered for least-expected 2024 addition) Jackass: the Movie.

Cinema lovers are spoiled in just how many places are on their bucket list. We think of the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, the steps of the Palais in Cannes, Mount Rushmore We can visit all of these, but one that is out of reach is the famed Criterion Closet, a tiny room packed wall-to-wall with the catalog of The Criterion Collection. But now, you may have your chance…with a twist.

The Criterion Collection has announced that they are taking their Closet out on the highway, posting on their website that this comes at just the right time. “In celebration of our fortieth anniversary, Criterion has built a replica of our famous film closet inside an eighteen-foot delivery van, and later this month, we’ll be taking our Criterion Closet Picks show on the road. Stocked with more than 1,500 of the greatest films from around the world, the Criterion...

Paramount’s free streaming service Pluto TV has revealed its August highlights. Pluto TV is boldly going where no streamer has gone before, becoming the first service to offer the entire Star Trek film series for free!

Pluto TV has long been home to a galaxy of science fiction entertainment, and now all of the cinematic adventures of the Star Trek Prime Universe (William Shatner and Patrick Stewart) and the Kelvin Universe (Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto) are beaming up to your favorite device. Also joining Pluto TV in August are Alien Nation by Dust and three new channels from Fox.

Pluto TV offers various genres, languages, and categories featuring movies,...

The trailer just dropped for Mr. Throwback, a new mockumentary series starring Happy Endings’ Adam Pally, Saturday Night Live’s Ego Nwodim and… The Golden State Warriors’ Steph Curry?

Produced by David Wain, Mr. Throwback actually looks pretty funny for a show starring an NBA point guard in a prominent role. Come to think of it, there have been more than a few solid comedies featuring pro basketball players, such as…

5 Marques Johnson in ‘White Men Can’t Jump’

When we think of White Men Can’t Jump, we tend to think of Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson, and of course, Jeopardy! champion Rosie Perez.

But it also features former NBA player Marques Johnson as Raymond, an aggrieved victim of Billy and Syd’s hustle. Johnson later revealed that the character was based on real-life basketball player Reggie Harding, who died tragically in 1972.

4 Michael Jordan in ‘Space Jam’

Space Jam is a ridiculous movie,...

He was a Hollywood sensation headlining on Saturday Night Live – and was still too young for a driving licence. But things did not always go well for The Breakfast Club actor

If your formative years were shaped in any way by the 80s teen movies of John Hughes – crushes, triumphant underdogs, and an everlasting hankering for American high-school lockers – those actors feel something akin to long-lost relatives. Anthony Michael Hall has had an enduring acting career doing other work: he’s a 56-year-old father and looks nothing like his teenage self. But he can’t escape the nerdy kid in Weird Science, Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. If he is tired of reminiscing about films that are 40 years old, he doesn’t show it.

Hall has now been acting for 48 years. One of the biggest lessons his career has taught him is to “stay humble, because the journey will humble you.

The Greenaissance continues! Just a few months ago, Tom Green’s Freddy Got Fingered appeared on the Criterion Channel, alongside other Razzie-winning bombs arguably deserving of critical reevaluation. And now the Canadian comedian reportedly has three projects in the works with Amazon Prime Video. Not bad for a guy who just four years ago was the co-lead of an Asylum-produced Pixar knock-off starring Joey Lawrence.

The three projects include a stand-up special featuring footage from a recent North American tour, as well as a career-spanning documentary which “captures the early days of his humble beginnings in Canada, to stardom in Hollywood.”

Then there’s the unscripted reality show called Tom Green Country, which follows Green as he “relocates from the bright lights of Hollywood to a simpler life on his newly purchased country farm.” Green has already been sharing some videos of his Ontario farm on YouTube, for anyone who...

Hulu has to be pretty pleased with its list of new releases for June 2024. That’s because it’s about to be the summer of The Bear once again.

The Bear season 3 premieres all of its episodes on June 27 on Hulu. This FX dramedy has proven to be one of the most successful shows of its era. Jeremy Allen White stars as Carmy Berzatto, a world-famous chef who returns home to Chicago to help his floundering family restaurant after the death of his brother. Season 2 saw The Original Beef of Chicagoland crew transform the spot into fine dining establishment The Bear. It ruled. So will season 3 probably.

FX is responsible for the other major TV release on Hulu this month. Clipped premieres on June 4 and is about the scandalous real life story of Donald Sterling, the awful owner of the basketball team the Los Angeles Clippers. Another intriguing TV option...

June is busting out all over, especially on streaming. Whether it’s hiding from the heat or taking a break from school and work, Disney+ and Hulu are here to satisfying your mid-year entertainment needs.

Disney+ will premiere the first new live-action Star Wars since 2023’s middling to “The Mandalorian” Season 3 and “Ahsoka” with “The Acolyte,” starring “Squid Game” breakout Lee Jung-jae. The series is set before the events of “The Phantom Menace” with a familiar master-padawan storyline but new characters and a new era where that dynamic unfolds. The streamer will also premiere various new options for kids and family-friendly programming, as well as new episodes of “Doctor Who” starring Ncuti Gatwa.

On Hulu, FX comes in hot for the summer, along with an adaptation of Candice Carty-Williams’s “Queenie,” the brat-pack documentary “Brats,” and yes — more “Love Island.” The TV and film library continues to shift with new and expiring titles,...

When a movie is as big as Crocodile Dundee, you better believe there will be a sequel. Audiences renting a VHS tape of the movie back in 1987 had a little introduction before the film, teasing the fact that a sequel was in the works, something all of us kids who grew up on this movie were psyched by.

So when the first one came out, Paul Hogan became a massive international star. He was already big in Australia, but before Crocodile Dundee, Hogan was mostly known for his ‘Shrimp on the Barbie’ Australian Tourism adverts. By 1987, he was so popular that he was one of the three hosts of the 1987 Academy Awards, opposite Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. Crocodile Dundee II would be a much bigger film than its predecessor. After all, this wasn’t a tiny Australian indie anymore. It was a big studio film, with Paramount Pictures, who distributed the first film,...

Sad news has been revealed as actor Joe Flaherty, whose career included memorable roles in Happy Gilmore and Freaks and Geeks, has passed away. The character actor, who also starred in the acclaimed sketch comedy series Sctv, was 82 years old. As of now, a cause of death has not been disclosed.

Flaherty's death was confirmed by One Crazy Summer co-star Joel Murray, who said on X, "We've lost another of my idols." Chucky star Jennifer Tilly, who appeared in 1997's The Wrong Guy, also commented on the news. She shared in a post on X, "Joe Flaherty played my dad in The Wrong Guy. I was so thrilled to be able to work with him. His performance was pitch perfect. A great comedian. Gone too soon." Joining them was Freaks and Geeks actor John Francis Daley, who played Flaherty's son in the cult classic series. He said, "Joe Flaherty...

One of the last movies we’d ever link to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is Showgirls. The Razzies, sure, but the Oscars? But the much-derided film is finally getting some due, with a special 35mm screening at the Academy Museum this week. Yes, it sold out.

Elizabeth Berkley – who played aspiring dancer Nomi in the 1995 movie – made a speech at the Showgirls screening, cheekily telling the audience, “So tonight I’d like to thank the Academy…Museum.” She went on to note the importance of the story that its initial audience missed, expressing her gratitude to those that have continued to support the movie nearly 30 years on. “[Showgirls] really pushed the boundaries at that time that now have been embraced — not misunderstood but truly embraced. And I’m so grateful that the film has found its way not only in your hearts but especially the LGBTQ community…...

The Criterion Collection is known for their dedication to championing classic and contemporary movies we should all be seeing, showcasing them with exquisite transfers and film school-level special features. But when it comes to their streaming service The Criterion Channel, the catalog is a bit looser. And it got weird and worse(?) this month, as they added a 14-title retrospective of the Golden Raspberry Awards. Titled “And the Razzie Goes To…”, Criterion’s grouping compiles 14 movies that come complete with bees, turkey time and whatever the hell Tom Green was doing for the duration of Freddy Got Fingered.

Here is the full list of Razzie flicks now available on The Criterion Channel: Cruising (1980), Heaven’s Gate (1980), Xanadu (1980), Querelle (1982), Under the Cherry Moon (1986), Ishtar (1987), Cocktail (1988), Showgirls (1995), Barb Wire (1996), The Blair Witch Project (1999), Freddy Got Fingered (2001), Swept Away (2002), Gigli (2003), and The Wicker Man (2006). That’s more than 80 Razzie nominations, ranging from Showgirls’s...

Each week we highlight the noteworthy titles that have recently hit streaming platforms in the United States. Check out this week’s selections below and past round-ups here.

And the Razzie Goes to . . .

As much as we hate to give Razzies any sort of promotion, The Criterion Channel has a new series to show just how wrong the execrable organization has been over the past decades. Launching today, they are spotlighting comedic gems like Tom Green’s Freddy Got Fingered, Elaine May’s Ishtar, and Neil Labute’s The Wicker Man, alongside Cruising, Heaven’s Gate, Xanadu, Querelle, Under the Cherry Moon, Cocktail, Showgirls, Barb Wire, The Blair Witch Project, Swept Away and Gigli.

Tom Green has cancer. It is early 2000, and he is about to go under for surgery, and guess what? He’s recording the whole thing because he would like to educate you on the world of testicular cancer, and if you can see his internal organs while doing so, so be it. And so there he is at 28 years old in a hospital gown, making jokes while medical professionals get ready to chop off one of his nuts. “This is going to freaking suck,” he says. But, if we know anything about him, nothing is off limits for Tom Green. It was the ultimate combination of tragedy and comedy; you have a young man in his prime facing death while telling the world’s greatest testicle joke. This comedian turned cancer into performance art, which made me believe God might have a twisted sense of humor… kinda like Tom Green himself.

There is, a critic will argue, a great deal of value in finding and discussing the worst films of the year. All the films released in a given epoch are a reflection of the trends and ideas that produced them, and scoring the bottom of the barrel for the worst filmmaking, the worst ideas, and the most misguided thinking will provide a valuable analysis of where we are as a society. Worst-of lists are important and vital and should be written with enthusiasm. They also let critics blow off steam a little bit; we don't have the luxury to skip bad movies or avoid talking about the ones we hate. It's our job.

The Golden Raspberries, or the Razzies for short, however, lost sight of that value a while back. The annual Razzies announcement is usually a snarky affair that only serves to pick on the year's least popular blockbusters,...

Some apotheosis of film culture has been reached with Freddy Got Fingered‘s addition to the Criterion Channel. Three years after we interviewed Tom Green about his consummate film maudit, it’s appearing on the service’s Razzie-centered program that also includes the now-admired likes of Cruising, Heaven’s Gate, Querelle, and Ishtar; the still-due likes of Under the Cherry Moon; and the more-contested Gigli, Swept Away, and Nicolas Cage-led Wicker Man. In all cases it’s an opportunity to reconsider one of the lamest, thin-gruel entities in modern culture.

A Jane Russell retro features von Sternberg’s Macao, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and Raoul Walsh’s The Tall Men and The Revolt of Mamie Stover; streaming premieres will be held for Yuen Woo-ping’s Dreadnaught, Claire Simon’s Our Body, Ellie Foumbi’s Our Father, the Devil, the recently restored Sepa: Our Lord of Miracles, and The Passion of Rememberance.

Exclusive: Harland Williams (Dumb and Dumber) has wrapped production on Wing Man, his sophomore feature behind the camera, in which he also stars opposite comics Russell Peters (The Opening Act) and Jamie Kennedy (Malibu’s Most Wanted).

Others rounding out the cast of the indie comedy, written and directed by Williams, include Evan Marsh (Workin’ Moms), Shiva Negar (The Cleaning Lady), Kayla Wallace (When Calls the Heart) and Dylan Flashner (The Card Counter).

The film watches as Bob (Marsh) loses his fiancée Terri (Negar) to the wealthy Kazeem (Peters), hiring the Wing Man, Turk (Williams), to help him get her back. Subsequently, though, the Wing Man faces off against his arch enemy — the other Wing Man, Eddie (Kennedy) — who has other plans for Bob. Through car races and bar hopping, this quest for love teaches Bob that true love is found right in front of him. Always there is his faithful assistant,...

Just when we thought the world was safe from painfully bad Adam Sandler-linked comedies, The Out-Laws arrives, reminding audiences that even if Sandler’s tastes as an actor have evolved, his love for irritating, unfunny comedies has not.

In fairness, Sandler, whose film company Happy Madison produced The Out-Laws, probably deserves minimal blame for this debacle. Director Tyler Spindel, working from a script by Ben Zazove and Evan Turner, shoulders most of the blight, owing to heavy-handed direction, a boilerplate premise, and a script that squeezes its cast so hard, we hate to think of the bruising.

The Out-Laws follows the time-worn premise of all those wedding comedies where a hapless main character clashes with his future in-laws. The movie follows Owen (Adam DeVine), a handsome, if nerdy, bank manager on the verge of tying the knot with his fiancée, Parker (Nina Dobrev). As the wedding approaches, Owen’s parents,...

Whether it's because of their sense of humor, style of comedy, or social commentary about the era in which they were released, these comedy movies were ahead of their time. Through laughter and satire, comedy movies can push boundaries and challenge conventional social norms, but that can also mean they won't fit into the current trends and may have to wait years to be appreciated. By shaking up the system, however, they break molds and formulas and introduce new and funny ways to look at the world, as well as launch the careers of comedians, actors, and filmmakers.

While every other comedy movie was interested in parroting what was popular, these movies set out to do something different, whether it involved unfiltered teens, spoofing sci-fi, or making fun of the superhero genre. By innovating the structure of comedy movies and shaking up established tropes about what was considered funny, these...

It’s a new month, and Hulu subscribers are getting a slew of new movies and TV shows to enjoy.

June 1 is jam-packed with more than 30 titles that have landed on the streamer, including the seventh and final season of Ava DuVernay’s “Queen Sugar,” the Jack Nicholson-led film “Hoffa,” Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Borat” and the entire “Twilight” franchise.

Mixing in a little of the old with new come goodies from 2023, like “Flamin’ Hot,” which tells the story of Mexican migrant Richard Montanez who came up with the idea for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos while working as a janitor at Frito Lay. The film lands on Hulu June 9.

Ending June with a bang will the be second season of “The Bear,” (June 22), Season 20 of “The Bachelorette” (June 27) and the sixth and final season of “Grown-ish.”

Here’s everything you can expect to hit Hulu this June.

One of David Cronenberg’s most haunting projects contains nary an exploding head or freshly formed orifice. 2000’s Camera instead turns its smeary digital lens towards an aging thespian, his depressive musings compounded by the most rapid-fire tempo Cronenberg’s ever waged.

Seth MacFarlane’s sci-fi/comedy started as a simple Star Trek parody on Fox before blossoming into its own entirely sincere space adventuring beast. Now “New Horizons” promises to be a fresh start for the series on Hulu. Next up is Only Murders in the Building season 2 on June 28. Season 1 of this Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez-starring series was a big hit. Let’s see if our favorite podcasters can pull it off once again.

Since 1980, UCLA film grads and industry veterans John J. B. Wilson and Mo Murphy have honored the very worst in cinema with the Razzie Awards. Here’s a look back to the worst pictures of the last four decades.

“Can’t Stop the Music” (1980)

The Golden Raspberry Awards got their start by recognizing this musical comedy, a justly mocked quasi-biopic of the Village People.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 8%

“Mommie Dearest” (1981)

Faye Dunaway goes full camp as Joan Crawford in a docudrama whose comedy was often unintentional.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 53%

“Inchon” (1982)

This bloated, over-budget Korean war film starring Laurence Olivier as Gen. Douglas MacArthur was an epic turkey.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 0%

“The Lonely Lady” (1983)

Pia Zadora followed her mysterious (and widely mocked in retrospect) Golden Globe win for “Butterfly” with this adaptation of a trashy Harold Robbins novel about a schoolgirl/wannabe screenwriter.

Rotten Tomatoes score: 0%

“Bolero” (1984)

Bo Derek ditches her “10” cornrows to...

Not just someone who's large in stature, former NBA star Shaquille O'Neal has just proven he's got a very big heart as well. Recently, the NBA Hall of Famer and The Shaquille O'Neal Foundation partnered up with Soles4Souls and Reebok to help distribute 500 new pairs of shoes to elementary schoolchildren. On Friday, Shaq also visited the Wesley Lakes Elementary School in McDonough, Georgia, to put smiles on children's faces at the end of the school year.

"It's all about the kids," Shaq said. "The two things that really hurt me this year were seeing 40 million people out of work, and I hate seeing kids that don't have what they need."

Organizers involved with the donations will help distribute the remaining pairs of shoes to kids in need this summer. The good deed is one of many efforts undertaken by Shaq to help others in the Henry County area. Last year,...

Texas resident Caron McBride recently discovered that she had been charged with a felony for an unreturned Sabrina the Teenage Witch VHS tape from 21 years ago. McBride found out she was charged with felony embezzlement of rented property in March of 2000 while running into a problem with the Dmv when she was trying to change her name on her license. As for renting the VHS, McBride, who now lives in Texas, has no recollection of renting Sabrina the Teenage Witch. "I have never seen one episode nor movie," she said.

As for what could have happened, Caron McBride believes that it was her boyfriend at the time, who had two young daughters. "He had to have," McBride said about renting Sabrina, the Teenage Witch on VHS. "I know I didn't." McBride found out about the incident when she contacted the Texas Dmv to make an appointment back in November. She...

Monte Hellman, cult director of The Shooting (1966), Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) and Road to Nowhere (2010) has died.

20 years ago, Tom Green directed his first film. Now he’s living in a van.

Picture this: A disturbed young man, prone to zoophilic outbursts, returns to his family home in Portland, Oregon, after being fired from a factory job in LA. His father berates and belittles him, often leaving his mother shaking from fear. He strikes up a relationship with a wheelchair-bound nurse to whom his father refers as a “cripple” and “retard slut whore.” Tired of the abuse, the young man invents a lie during a family therapy session: that his father sexually molested his younger brother, Freddy. The brother is committed to a home for abused children, their mother leaves the house, and the young man learns to channel familial trauma into art.

Then picture this: the synopsis offered above is not for a dour, European arthouse drama but a $14 million, 20th Century Fox-distributed comedy written by,...
