Disney+ subscribers have been warned as the streaming service prepares to block accounts en masse. The road for Disney+ hasn’t exactly run smoothly. Despite launching to widespread acclaim in 2019 – when it beat its own expectations and gained over 10 million subscribers in its first 24 hours – and staying strong at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, things soon fell apart for Disney’s first major foray into streaming.

Herbie J Pilato

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

There’s no shortage of movies to watch on Hulu during the final weekend of July. But since Deadpool & Wolverine is now out in theaters, we thought it would be fun to pick movies from Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s back catalog of films. The only problem with that idea is that neither of them has a lot of movies on Hulu!

Earlier this year, Disney — in conjunction with Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery — announced the launch of the Venu sports app. The service will allow viewers to stream various sporting events carried by networks owned by each company. At the time, Disney CEO Bob Iger called the service a “major win for sports fans, and an important step forward for the media business.” Now we know how much that “step forward” is going to cost.

7 top new movies to watch on Netflix, Max and more (July 23-29)

After a little slump this July — aside from the Olympics — TV is back in fighting form this August. The last full month of summer brings the end of Netflix's mind-bending The Umbrella Academy, the premiere of potential new hits like Prime Video's Batman: Caped Crusader and Netflix's Kaos, and the return of a few anticipated series in their prime, like HBO's Industry, Hulu's Only Murders in the Building, and Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. But the headline event should be Apple TV+'s stellar Pachinko, which, as a bonus, has one of the best opening credits sequences around. Never skip it.
