Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller comedies are either hit or miss, but for the most part miss. So what happens if you pair the two of them up for a dramedy? Either a movie of theirs that is laugh out loud funny or one so awful people will leave the theaters crying in pain. Soon we will find out the answer to this question when their Netflix movie The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), which also stars Dustin Hoffman, comes out on Friday the 13th. I think the release date says it all. Don’t you agree? Granted after watching that teaser you know it is going to be their worst films to date and that says a lot after Zoolander 2 and Jack & Jill. Should I go on?
ABC made Shonda Rhimes the uber TV producer that she is now, and now they need her more than she needs them. Sadly, they will not have her for much longer because she has left them for a multi-year deal to produce new series and other projects for Netflix. Her shows Grey’s Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, Scandal (which is ending this season) and the upcoming For the People will continue to air on the alphabet network, all of her new shows will air on Netflix.
This a big hit for ABC, who is having a huge problems in the drama department. Only the Shondaland dramas are doing well for them. What will they do without her? Luckily, they have The Good Doctor, but the rest of their new shows are painfully bad. The Inhumans is the worst pilot of the Fall and Once Upon a Time and Agents of SHIELD needed to end seasons ago. In other words, they are in deep doo doo.
When it comes to Netflix, this is a big get for them since they just lost Rhimes’ former bosses aka Disney. They needed something that would fill that hole and this is a good start.
Poor ABC, they just cannot catch a break these days. And American Idol has not even debuted.
Before Netflix started winning a whole bunch of awards for its original programming, they used to stream some of today’s biggest movies. Then they lost their partnership with Epix and those films went away. Luckily they signed a deal with Disney and that company’s movies and TV shows started to stream. But that will be going away in 2019 because Disney is launching their own streaming service for their home videos along with one for ESPN according to The Hollywood Reporter.
If I were Netflix, I would start begging every studio to Netflix & Chill because without one I see their numbers rapidly declining. I mean, I love cheesy Horror movies and I am struggling to find ones to watch. I hate to say it, but I am OK with losing their shows and gaining ones on Hulu or Amazon Prime. I want variety and without Disney, they are not offering enough of it.

Chuck Lorre is finally going to cable with Netflix’s Disjointed and I cannot wait to see what rules he finally gets to break. He is not held down by censors, he is free to write curses and that means this show about a Los Angeles cannabis dispensary is going to be one wild ride we are not going to want to get off. Especially, if we are smoking that the show starring Kathy Bates is about.
Get your bongs ready because you are not going to want miss a single hit when you binge watch this sitcom starting on August 25th.

Netflix released the first full trailer for Stranger Things‘ second season and looks even more thrilling than the first one. Why isn’t Simon Le Bon’s birthday tomorrow because I do not want to wait until October 27th for the new season. How like excited are you to see it?
