Will Forte has looked back at his Saturday Night Live spinoff MacGruber bombing at the box office. The 2010 comedy infamously debuted to harsh reviews and subsequently underperformed at financially as well.

MacGruber was based on Forte's recurring SNL sketches in which he played a MacGyver-like hero whose attempts to diffuse dangerous situations almost always failed miserably. Despite the movie being packed with SNL stars – including Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph – the project's failure was seen as a black mark on Forte's potential as a movie star.

Will Forte Reflects on MacGruber's failure

Forte candidly reflected on MacGruber's failure during a recent interview with Ted Danson on the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast (via Entertainment Weekly). He admitted that the project bombing was particularly hurtful since it came out only a week after SNL's triumphant season finale.

"The movie came out and just s*** the bed, just did tremendously badly,...

Thankfully, Will Forte didn’t have to beg some fellow SNL alumni to help him get his career back on track after the failure of MacGruber. We all know what he gets like when he starts begging.

On paper, the 2010 feature film adaptation of a Lorne-Michaels-beloved SNL character had all of the makings of a blockbuster: MacGruber was a movie parody of a TV show that hadn’t been on the air in 18 years at the time of release, a YouTuber who had never shot anything much longer than “I’m on a Boat” wrote and directed the film and, most promisingly, MacGruber was an R-rated comedy that released on the exact same night as the fourth Shrek movie. MacGruber had everything going for it, but, on a $10 million budget, it somehow failed to even hit eight figures at the box office, and it landed near the top of the...

Leighton Meester will make a guest star appearance in “Nobody Wants This” Season 2.

Meester, who is best known for starring in “Gossip Girl” and is star Adam Brody’s real-life spouse, will play the middle school nemesis of Kristen Bell’s Joanne, who crosses paths with Joanne as an adult, according to Netflix. Miles Fowler will also guest star in Season 2 as Lenny, a member of the Matzah Ballers who gets set up with Morgan (Justine Lupe).

Brody and Meester will reunite on-screen in “Nobody Wants This” Season 2 after previously appearing together in “The Oranges,” “Single Parents” and “River Wild.” Brody is also set to appear in an episode of Meester’s new show “Good Cop/Bad Cop,” which premiered Feb. 19 on The CW.

Beyond “Gossip Girl,” Meester’s credits include “The Roommate,” “That’s My Boy,” “Country Strong,” “How I Met Your Father” and “EXmas,” while Fowler is known for “Bottoms,...

This is Us actor Milo Ventimiglia’s Malibu house fell prey to the ongoing LA fires. The devastating fires, which have unfortunately become a yearly occurrence, have claimed the properties of many Hollywood stars with many more forced to evacuate.

Although Ventimiglia noted that what mattered most was that his wife and dog were safe, it is heartbreaking for the actor anyway. Especially as his wife is due to give birth in just a few days. Fortunately, Milo Ventimiglia’s determination to move forward from the situation has not wavered.

A big credit of it he gave to his friends, and the people he works with. Another thing that must have come in handy is the millions of dollars of net worth that he has acquired throughout his career.

Milo Ventimiglia’s net worth surpasses many of his This Is Us co-stars...

Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company are in preparation for production on “I Can Only Imagine 2,” a sequel to the breakout hit “I Can Only Imagine.”

The 2018 film took in over $83 million at the domestic box office. The sequel will be directed by Brent McCorkle and Andrew Erwin from a screenplay written by McCorkle.

“I Can Only Imagine 2” will continue the inspirational true story of Bart Millard, once again played by John Michael Finley. Other returning cast members include Dennis Quaid, reprising his role as Arthur, and Trace Adkins, who returns as MercyMe manager Scott Brickell. Milo Ventimiglia joins the cast in a new role as singer/songwriter Tim Timmons.

Producers of the film include Kevin Downes, Erwin, Cindy Bond, Millard, Daryl Lefever and Joshua Walsh.

Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson said, “We’re excited to be partnering once again with Kingdom on this continuation of Bart’s incredible...

Adam Sandler was the king of comedy when it came to low-budget films for the longest time, but as is the case with industry funnymen who make it big, the actor faced a slew of personal tragedies that took a toll on his physical and mental health.

Sandler has revealed much on multiple shows through the decades about all the personal and professional tragedies he has faced, from losing a dear friend to drug abuse to losing his father to lung cancer. There were also a slew of legal cases that Sandler found himself at the center of.

Since its premiere in September 2007 all the way to its series finale in December 2012 and to this day, Gossip Girl has been one of the most beloved teen drama series of all time. The CW series based on the book series of the same name helped launched its home network and became a pop culture phenomenon in no time.

The series launched its young cast of stars into superstars, with the likes of Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford, and more becoming movie and television stars. Gossip Girl even launch one of the most successful modern rock stars! The cast has truly come a long way from their days on the Upper East Side.

As Gossip Girl makes its triumphant return to Netflix in the United States on Oct. 29, 2024, millions of fans will start rewatching the series and inevitably wondering, "How old was the cast 17 years ago?" Let's...

With his career spanning decades in Hollywood, Adam Sandler has become one of the most renowned comedy icons in the entertainment industry. But on top of starring in hilarious roles, Sandler has also been involved in film production through his company, Happy Madison Productions. This has allowed the actor to have more control over his projects, which helped him bring his family into his work.

Well, fans of Adam Sandler might not realize, but the actor has often starred alongside his daughters, Sadie and Sunny Sandler, who have practically grown up on sets. Believe it or not, Sandler’s daughters have gained a prominent spot in his films, including some of his best projects.

1. Bedtime Stories (2008)

Over the years, Adam Sandler has cemented his career as a Hollywood A-lister, following his appearance in comedy films and family-friendly dramas. But the 2008 movie Bedtime Stories,...

Adam Sandler’s rise to fame is a true rags-to-riches story. Before becoming a household name, the comedian-actor had to hustle to make ends meet. While living in New York and waiting for opportunities in the industry, the actor had to find a way to earn money.

Most fans don’t know that Sandler used to sing- not on a stage, but in the subways. In an interview, the actor revealed that during his struggling days, he used to sing in the subways, busking for tips while waiting for auditions. Although he found that job humiliating, it also helped him chase his dreams.

From Subway to Studio: Adman Sandler’s Origin Story

Adam Sandler was born into a humble household in 1966; his mother was a nursery school teacher, while his father was an electrical engineer. His family’s modest means and strong work ethic instilled in him the values of hard work.

Certain films, like Saltburn, contain topics, violence, and scenes too uncomfortable to watch with my parents. Films like That's My Boy and A Serbian Film tackle sensitive topics with cringe-worthy plot points. Movies like X and Miller's Girl blend inappropriate content, making them unsuitable for family viewing.

Warning: This article discusses topics of rape culture, sexual assault of minors, and extreme violence.

I enjoy watching films with my parents, but there are certain titles that I could never see with them. While Id happily sit down and watch several of the best movies of all time with members of my family, certain topics are simply too uncomfortable for me. Nobody wants to see anything with graphic sex, extreme violence, or even terrible jokes with their parents, especially me.

Of course, everyones parents are different. However, its easy to identify which movies are too weird to watch with the people who have raised you.

It might be time to put some movie nights on the calendar to ensure you catch everything departing from Netflix this August before they’re gone for good.

Unfortunately, in order to make room for the new content hitting the platform this month, it’s time to say goodbye to some of the old. From “Dumb and Dumber To” to the original “Spider-Man,” the family favorites category is taking some tough losses.

The 2022 film that took home seven Oscars (including Best Picture), “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” is making its departure after five months on the streaming platform. Another award-winning film headed out the Netflix doors is “American Hustle.” Some other big upsets this month are “The Blind Side” and the original “Paddington.”

Who do you think would die first in a four-way battle royale between Seth Rogen, Will Ferrell, Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler? Who do you think has had the least inspiring film career between those four? Are both answers the same?

Look, anyone who has ever written and starred in a mid-budget comedy produced by a major studio is doing pretty okay from a career standpoint, so it would be ludicrous to suggest that any of the men mentioned above is somehow a failure, despite what their biggest haters may say. But speaking of haters, only one of those four funnymen has a large and devoted anti-stan movement on Twitter that relishes in taking every opportunity to snarkily reply to a picture of him lighting a giant fake bong at a Hollywood Bowl show and tell him, “We get it man.”

When "The Dick Van Dyke Show" kicked off its third season on September 25, 1963, the United States was in the midst of a societal transformation. The Civil Rights Movement's Birmingham campaign, which sought to desegregate the Alabama city's downtown businesses, was in full swing, and the images being transmitted to Americans' living rooms were ugly as hell. Birmingham's Commissioner of Public Safety Eugene "Bull" Connor countered peaceful protests with disgusting brutality. He ordered law enforcement to blast marching students with fire hoses; these children were also attacked by police dogs and the equally savage white locals, who, when they felt Connor's violent tactics weren't going far enough, bombed the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's headquarters.

And then, one week prior to the show's season debut, a pack of racists killed four little girls when they blew up the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church.

These events would play a significant role in driving...

More actors than ever are now stepping behind the camera to take a shot at directing. To me, they always end up falling into one of three categories. There are the ones who simply aren’t very good at it. There are the ones who wind up making a movie that’s A-okay, often because they’re more attuned to the nuances of guiding their fellow actors than they are to the grander artistic machinery of filmmaking. And then there’s the elite third category: those rare actors — Greta Gerwig, Ben Affleck, Bradley Cooper — who turn out to be born filmmakers.

To that hallowed company we can now add the name Jesse Eisenberg. “A Real Pain,” which he wrote, directed, and co-stars in, premiered yesterday at Sundance, and it’s a delight and a revelation — a deft, funny, heady, beautifully staged ramble of a road movie about two Jewish cousins,...

There’s a war going on inside many Adam Sandler movies and the loser is frequently the audience. Sandler may be an innately lovable performer, but his sense of humor is also abrasive and immature. So for every great Sandler comedy like “Happy Gilmore” or the overlooked “Hubie Halloween” — films that strike a satisfying balance between charm and adolescent weirdness — there are also films like “That’s My Boy” and “Jack and Jill,” where our affection for Sandler can’t quite compensate for an overwhelming cavalcade of mean-spirited “jokes” that confuse bullying with whimsy.

But when Sandler delves into the world of family-friendly animation he usually sets aside his vicious streak, so his childish humor and uncomplicated moralizing can shine through. You won’t find much of his immaturity in the “Hotel Transylvania” movies or in his new animated Netflix film “Leo” — which he co-wrote with Robert Smigel and Paul Sado...

The chemistry between Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore in their movie collaborations is electric, resulting in successful box office hits and positive critical reviews. Despite some setbacks in their careers, such as Sandler's string of less-than-stellar films, their partnership still manages to shine through and captivate audiences. Fans can look forward to a potential new collaboration between Sandler and Barrymore, as they actively search for a new project that showcases their chemistry while offering something fresh and intriguing.

The Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore movies ranked worst to best captures, at both ends of the scale, one of the most lucrative yet underrated comedic partnerships in Hollywood. Adam Sandler certainly has many detractors, but the box office proves his career has been highly successful. After Adam Sandler was unceremoniously fired from Saturday Night Live, he wasted no time becoming one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood, starring in 1990s classics like Billy Madison,...

Blue Beetle is the long-awaited live-action debut of the DC hero. The story follows teenager Jaime Reyes, who finds a weird robotic scarab that ultimately infiltrates his life. It intertwines with Jaime's body and grants him a superhero suit. But, obviously, this isn't a blessing for the teen as he can't always control the beetle armor. Aside from the interesting premise and lack of horrible superhero tropes, Blue Beetle stands out because of its groundbreaking representation of Latino communities both on screen and off. As such, some pretty familiar faces are thrown in the bunch to get excited about.

Xolo Maridueña as Jaime Reyes

Jaime Reyes is the main character of Blue Beetle, seeing as he becomes the titular hero. But he's not the first person to find the scarab and turn into the superhero. He's the third person with that title, following Dan Garrett and Ted Kord. As Blue Beetle,...

Adam Sandler is one of the highest-grossing actors in Hollywood, but he’s also had his fair share of box office bombs throughout his career. Well before Netflix offered him a fair chunk of change to trade theatrical releases for streaming exclusives, Sandler starred in huge box office hits, including Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy, The Wedding Singer, Big Daddy, Grown Ups, and Just Go with It. Even when Sandler’s films are panned by critics, they usually resonate with audiences, though that doesn't always hold true.

Some of Sandler’s box office bombs, such as Spanglish and The Cobbler, faced steep competition from other releases. A few of his darker dramas, namely Funny People and Reign Over Me, struggled to attract a wide audience. At other times, Sandler's flops were misses because of inflated budgets. As films like Punch-Drunk Love and Men, Women & Children prove, even some of...

With so many great storylines and hilarious characters, it isn't surprising that some fans of Brooklyn 99 have forgotten how many celebrities have made guest or cameo appearances. First debuting in 2013, the comedy sitcom followed the lives of several police officers at the 99th precinct in New York, who get caught up in all kinds of shenanigans while fighting crime daily. While most episodes see the likes of Detective Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg), Detective Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) and the future Chief Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero) try to solve new cases, there are also a few that explore the strong bonds and relationships between the core group.

While Brooklyn Nine-Nine was a critical success, accruing 11 Primetime Emmy nominations (and winning 2 in total), it was also known for having a lot of celebrity cameos and guest appearances. While some of these cameos were played by the Brooklyn 99 cast's real-life partners,...

Netflix took out its big red checkbook at the Cannes Film Festival, and bested the competition during what Deadline has referred to as an “old-style, all-night auction.” The prize was “May December,” the new drama from director Todd Haynes.

The film stars Natalie Portman as an actress visiting a woman upon whose life her next character is based. That person is played by Julianne Moore who achieved some tabloid notoriety after going to prison for seducing a 13-year-old boy when she was a grown woman. Now it is 20 years later, and she and the boy (now played as a man by Charles Melton) are still together, raising a family in Maine. (Sounds like a prestige version of the Adam Sandler flick “That’s My Boy.”)

The project was received with great praise at Cannes (it currently boasts a 93 percent score on ye olde Tomatometer) with many critics highlighting its comedic side.

Adam Sandler has become one of the most profitable comedy actors, but he also holds one specific Hollywood record that literally no one else in the industry wants. Adam Sandler has earned his place as one of the biggest names in comedy, and his career began in TV in the late 1980s in The Cosby Show, where he played the character of Smitty, Theo Hixtable’s friend. His big screen debut arrived in 1989 in the comedy movie Going Overboard, where he also had a screenwriting credit, and in 1990, he joined Saturday Night Live first as a writer and as an actor the following year.

Sandler became more known after starring in the comedy Billy Madison, and in 1999, he formed his first film production company, Happy Madison Productions, with its first production being Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo. Since then, Sandler has starred, produced, and written a variety of comedies, though not all of them critical successes,...

While Adam Sandler is widely thought to make the worst movies ever, there are plenty of underrated Adam Sandler movies out there to enjoy. The comedian has been the poster boy for the Razzie Awards, and his work is slated by critics every time he shows his face on the screen. However, the problem with most of his films is that they suffer from weak scripts, leading to his films' success being wholly character-driven. Sandler himself is talented, and his movies like Hustle and Uncut Gems prove Adam Sandler is underrated as an actor in less-outright-comedic roles.

It's been proven through various underrated Adam Sandler movies that when he really applies himself and digs deep into the nuances of his character that he can deliver a performance that is truly special. Adam Sandler movies like Bulletproof or Click are great films in their own right, even if they tend not...

The Brooklyn 99 cast is full of great actors, both established stars and promising up-and-coming talent, playing a wide array of delightfully wacky characters populating the eponymous NYPD precinct. Each episode of Brooklyn 99’s eight seasons is shot and structured like a classical police procedural, with its detectives tackling a different case, but with an absurdist sense of humor. From the deadpan captain to the yogurt-loving sergeant to the immature detective to the pair of wildly incompetent veteran cops, the titular precinct in Brooklyn 99 is full of hilarious comedic personalities.

Throughout its entire run, Brooklyn 99 was a hit with critics and audiences alike. A huge part of the show’s appeal was the palpable on-screen chemistry shared by its cast. The Brooklyn 99 cast was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series in 2014, but lost to the...

Chris Rock may have turned down an invitation to present at the 95th annual Academy Awards earlier this month, but there was no way he was missing this.

On Sunday, he appeared in Washington, D.C. at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to celebrate his old buddy Adam Sandler. The star of “Billy Madison,” “Uncut Gems,” and the forthcoming “Murder Mystery 2” was being fêted as this year’s recipient of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

Rock came out and, upon seeing Paul Pelosi, referenced the bond the two shared—being physically attacked. Whereas the 82-year-old San Francisco businessman (and husband of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi) was nearly killed by a deranged lunatic, Rock was merely whapped across the face by Will Smith.

Anyway, Rock discussed how when he first encountered Sandler he was set up to dislike him. Sandler had...

Hey, "Jimmy Kimmel Live" fans. We are back to let you guys know that another new episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live is coming your way tonight, March 16, 2023. That's right, guys. ABC's got you covered again tonight with a new round of late night entertainment, and we've got a preview of tonight's new show for you. In tonight's new episode, you guys are going to see two more actors come through along with a brand new musical performance. So, let's dive into this. The first description for tonight's new, March 16, 2023 edition reveals that 44 year old American comedian, actor, musician, writer and producer Andy Samberg is going to show up to talk with Jimmy at some point. Andy has been involved with productions like: Brooklyn Nine-Nine TV show, Hotel Transylvania movies, Bob's Burgers TV show, Saturday Night Live, The Lonely Island music videos, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping movie, Neighbors movie, That's My Boy,...

Comedy star Andy Samberg made a memorable appearance early on in the run of the popular sitcom Parks and Recreation. Samberg kickstarted his career by making content with his childhood friends Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone as the comedy troupe The Lonely Island. The trio was picked up by Saturday Night Live – Samberg as a cast member and Taccone and Schaffer as writers – where they pioneered the show's “Digital Shorts.” Samberg has since become a renowned comedic actor in movies and television. He only appeared in one episode of Parks and Recreation’s second season, but his one-off turn was hilarious enough to leave a lasting impression.

As a workplace comedy about the banal bureaucracy of local government, Parks and Recreation presented a ton of opportunities for guest stars to come and go. From fellow government employees to concerned citizens appealing to their elected officials, there were plenty of wacky...

As a producer, Adam Sandler has always managed to attract an impressive litany of talent. Although the films released through Sandler's studio, Happy Madison, regularly get terrible reviews, they tend to be very lucrative and high-profile actors keep coming back for more work. This may be because, as the rumor mill has it, Sandler is a relentlessly decent and kind human being that others love to work with. As such, Al Pacino can be seen in "Jack and Jill," Susan Sarandon appeared in "That's My Boy," and the likes of Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, Jennifer Aniston, and Winona Ryder have all played Sandler's wife or love interest in his movies.

In Dennis Dugan's 2010 film "Grown Ups," Salma Hayek Pinault plays Roxanne, a successful fashion designer, and the wife of a talent agent named Lenny (Sandler). "Grown Ups" is about how Lenny is still very close with the circle of...

Mickey Kuhn, the last surviving credited cast member of the 1939 film classic Gone With The Wind, died Sunday at a hospice facility in Naples, Fl. He was 90.

His death was announced in a Facebook post by friend George Terrell.

A prolific child actor of the 1930s and ’40s, Kuhn is best remembered for his role as Gone with the Wind‘s Beau Wilkes, the son of Ashley and Melanie Wilkes. In his most memorable scene, Kuhn tearfully reacts to Melanie’s death by asking his father: “Where is my mother going away to? And why can’t I go along, please?”

De Havilland’s death in 2020 left Kuhn as the film’s last surviving credited cast member.

Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds' take on A Christmas Carol is surprisingly moving when all the pieces are in place. Spirited’s open distaste for musicals is never overplayed and the songs themselves won’t blow anyone away, but there aren’t any duds either. Director Sean Anders (That’s My Boy), who co-wrote the script with John Morris, is going for a down-the-line Christmas movie with a touch of raunchy humor and he and the entire production team are successful in that. No one will mistake Reynolds and Ferrell for Hall and Oates, but they are rarely asked to stretch their voices. Christmas movies, good or bad, have many ways of being effective. Anders mixed quite a few subgenres to make a solid film. Delivering a crap-talking Christmas musical with a heart of gold is no small feat and, even though Spirited isn’t a great movie, it is still a good time.

While it may have been difficult to watch "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" get the axe from NBC, a comedy about a group of good people within the NYPD actually trying to do good for their community during a very real influx of injustice made their genuine efforts look all too much like a fantasy. Although the series has left us, when "B99" wanted to be funny, it had some of the most hilarious writing on television, and the stacked ensemble cast always came to play.

As with any great sitcom, however, some of the series most memorable moments involve the addition of a surprise guest star to the mix. "B99" has featured such a diverse roster as Lou Diamond Phillips, Patton Oswalt, Jenny Slate, and Sterling K. Brown, but it was in their first season where series creators/writers Dan Goor and Michael Schur brought out one of their funniest guest spots in Adam Sandler.

(From left) Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell in Spirited Photo: Apple+ Song has the ability to take the simplest thought—or even a trite expression—and turn it into a moment of joyful uplift. It offers a direct line to more readily accepted vulnerability, and rumination about self-betterment.This fact...

When Andy Samberg wrapped up his run on "Saturday Night Live," he figured he was off to go be a comedy movie star like many of his predecessors. He was one of the standouts on his era of "SNL," known for his hilarious rap parodies with his three-man group "The Lonely Island." His fans were excited to see him make the jump to the silver screen, although the transition from television star to film star is not always smooth.

Samberg already had some experience starring in feature films, but they hadn't been extremely successful. His first film, 2007's "Hot Rod," was largely panned at the time, although it has managed to garner a bit of a cult following in recent years for its humor and surprisingly dangerous stunts.

Upon jumping fully into films after his "SNL" exit in 2012, Samberg was once again performing a bit inconsistently. "Celeste and Jesse Forever" was generally well-received,...

Netflix is about to remove a alrge selection of movies and TV shows from its service.

Every month, without fanfare, numerous titles are removed from the streamer.

This means that, should something be on your watchlist, it will vanish until it’s added again.

Netflix doesn’t publicise the titles it will remove – and users will only be alerted to something’s imminent removal if they happen to select the title in question.

But, with help from the team at What’s on Netflix, we’ve compiled the full list – and you can find the compilation of everything being added this month here.

From The Associated Press:

(AP) — James Caan, the curly-haired tough guy known to movie fans as the hotheaded Sonny Corleone of “The Godfather” and to television audiences as both the dying football player in the classic weeper “Brian’s Song” and the casino boss in “Las Vegas,” has died. He was 82.

His manager Matt DelPiano said he died on Wednesday. No cause was given and Caan’s family, who requests privacy, said that no further details would be released at this time.

Many of his collaborators wrote condolences on Twitter Thursday.

So sorry to hear the news. I loved working with him. And the only Jew I knew who could calf rope with the best of them. Love to the family.

“The Breakfast Club” and “Pineapple Express,” both classics within their own genres, will be leaving Hulu in July, along with a host of other films. If you want to relive Judd Nelson’s performance as delinquent John Bender or the antics of Seth Rogen and James Franco, don’t forget to catch up on these flicks before July 31.

If you haven’t already celebrated Meryl Streep’s birthday by watching one of her arguably best performances in “The Devil Wears Prada,” stream this fashion comedy before it leaves Hulu this month as well. Thankfully you’ll still be able to stream this thinly-veiled critique of Vogue’s Anna Wintour on Prime Video. That’s all.

Other notable titles that won’t be available on the streaming service after July include “I Am Not Your Negro,” “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar,” “Easy A” and a slew of the Resident Evil films,...

We don’t know if it’s appropriate to call it a Hot Hulu Summer, but the superior Disney-owned streaming service is certainly coming on strong with its new releases for July 2022.

Hulu has a diverse array of original content and library offerings for those looking to escape the oppressive summer heat this month. It starts out on the movie side of things with the Joey King-starring The Princess on July 1. From there, Hulu is releasing original films like The Bob’s Burgers Movie on July 12, documentary feature Aftershock on July 19, and the intriguing Zoey Deutch project Not Okay on July 29.

TV is where Hulu really shines this month though. July 6 sees the arrival of psychic rom-com series Maggie. That will be followed by season 3 of Solar Opposites on July 13 and...
