Seth Meyers is the father of three children: Ashe, 8, Axel, 6, and Adelaide, 3. And the Late Night host has no problem talking about them since the day his eldest was nearly born in a cab.
If talking about them on his talk show is not enough, he is going to do a standup special on Max talking about all the things that drive the day drinker crazy.
Seth Meyers, known for his dry wit and sharp topical commentary as host of Late Night with Seth Meyers, the veteran comedian shifts his focus to his personal life – from the chaos of raising three young kids, to navigating different communication styles in marriage, to the proper way to cross the street in New York City.
Seth Meyers: Dad Man Walking starts streaming October 26th on Max. I can’t wait to check it out because Meyers is one of the few comedians whose standup specials that I can watch all the way through.
We have all heard that story that sounds too outrageous to be true and thought, I bet it happened in Florida. And it did.
Well, six of the most unbelievable stories based on real events are coming to Max on October 18th, and as a former resident of the Sunshine State, I can’t wait to watch them all in It’s Florida, Man.
From Rough House Pictures (HBO’s “Eastbound & Down” and “The Righteous Gemstones”) and Range Studios, this irreverent late-night comedy series brings to life unbelievable ripped-from-the-headlines tales of the Sunshine State – straight from the people who live there. Featuring interviews from everyday Floridians and playful recreations starring a rotating cast of actors and comedians, including Anna Faris, Jake Johnson, Randall Park, Juliette Lewis, Sam Richardson, Ego Nwodim , and more, this hilarious and outrageous series sheds light on the viral, wacky, and weird. Covering diverse topics – from mermaids to witches, extreme fantasies, and feral bunnies with equal parts humor and heart, IT’S FLORIDA, MAN. is a love letter to the beaches, backwaters, and especially the people of a misunderstood yet magical state.
I seriously don’t know how I survived living, going to college, and working there for six years. But I did. And yes, we all have a story to tell that can only happen in Florida. You know, because It’s Florida, Man!
Did you know that Pretty Little Liars had its fourth spinoff and a sequel, which took place five years after the original show ended, streaming on Max? You didn’t? Don’t worry; you were not alone. Today, the streamer cancelled the series that ran for two seasons.
“While Max will not be moving forward with a third season of Pretty Little Liars, we are so grateful to our co-creators, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Lindsay Calhoon Bring, as well as the team at Warner Bros. Television, for reintroducing fans to this new iteration of liars who band together to fight the latest creepy villain terrifying Millwood,” Max said in a statement to Deadline. “Their unique and modern creative vision — combined with the immense talent of our cast and crew – gave the series a fun, horror-filled point of view that paid tribute to its original Rosewood roots.”
We have reached the point with streamers where they are starting to bundle their services like cable companies products.
Today, it was announced that you can bundle Disney+, Hulu, and Max for the ad-free version for $29.99 and the one with ads for $16.99 per month. That is a 38% savings.
Are you interested in that bundle? I love the concept. But I don’t subscribe to Disney+ and Max.
I don’t know about you, but it seems like everyone is getting a documentary these days. There are docs about Liza Minnelli, Steve Martin, Céline Dion, Jennifer Lopez, and the Brat Pack.
On July 13th, we are getting one more on HBO. Academy Award® winning actress and multi-decade movie star, Faye Dunaway, recounts the triumphs and challenges of her illustrious career with frank candor in FAYE, the first feature documentary about the Hollywood legend. Through honest reflection, complemented by insight from colleagues and friends, Dunaway contextualizes her life and filmography, laying bare her struggles with mental health while confronting the double standards she was subjected to as a woman in Hollywood.
Growing up as Dorothy Faye Dunaway, the army child of a father who struggled with alcoholism and raised predominantly by her single mother, Dunaway escaped into the world of acting, finding mentors in director Elia Kazan and playwright William Alfred, whose play “Hogan’s Goat” helped launch her career in 1965. In FAYE, the three-time Academy Award®-nominated actor – she would win for 1976’s “Network” – explores the personal trajectory of her life in concert with her storied career. Many of her film roles seem to reflect aspects of Faye’s own personality and the social climate in which they were made, including “Bonnie and Clyde,” “Chinatown,” and “Network,” a film which drew criticism, but also praise, for Dunaway’s portrayal of a headstrong, unsympathetic television producer – criticisms that were also leveled at Dunaway for her reputation as a “difficult” artist to work with. Speaking candidly about her struggles with alcoholism and bi-polar disorder, her love affairs and the joys of motherhood, Dunaway also reflects on her role in “Mommie Dearest,” the infamous 1981 movie that was a popular success but threatened to destroy her career. With her on-screen elegance and sense of fashion, she became a style icon, and continues to inspire and influence fashion trends today. Fiercely independent and determined to develop her own professional opportunities into the 1990s and 2000s, but at times thwarted by her own reputation and demons, FAYE serves as a reminder of Dunaway’s singular ability to inspire generations of filmmakers and actors with her enduring screen charisma and film oeuvre.
I grew up with Mommy Dearest and am not interested in this. But watch, it will be the most interesting one of them all.
