There are more types of media to consume than ever nowadays. From linear TV to on-demand streaming to social video, audiences are gobbling up video at seemingly every turn.

In 2003, a few years after “Freaks and Geeks” and a few before “Superbad,” Seth Rogen sat in a Hollywood boardroom with his best friend and creative partner, Evan Goldberg. They were barely legal and new to Los Angeles, pitching a teen sex comedy set in ancient Rome called “Gen Ccx.” Rogen doesn’t remember much about the script — it never got made. But something an executive said at the meeting stuck with him for more than two decades.

“I love movies, but now I have this fear that my job is to ruin them,” the unnamed exec told them. Twenty-two years later, that tragicomic koan would become the driving force behind “The Studio,” the scorching showbiz satire that stars Rogen as the newly appointed head of a film studio. Rogen recites that line in the first episode of the Apple TV+ comedy, out March 26.

YouTube now accounts for almost 12% of all TV viewing, as much as Netflix and Prime Video combined.

The growth of YouTube’s share of overall TV viewing continues to be impressive. Nielsen’s monthly The Gauge report continues to track the success of the platform, and the February edition of that report was released last week. The report found that YouTube set yet another record with its viewership share during the month, and that begs the question of what other streamers can do to catch up — if anything.

Key Details: YouTube now accounts for 11.6% of all TV watched. That number is essentially the same as Netflix and Prime Video combined. A recent survey found that young viewers are finding long-form content through social video platforms. 30-Day Free Trial $8.99+ / month amazon.com

The Gauge reveals that YouTube was responsible for 11.6% of all TV watched — including broadcast and cable channels — during the month of February.

If there's one thing fans have come to expect from The Boys, it's the creators dialing things up another level every season. From the "Herogasm" episode in season 3 to the Deep's deep-sea love life to that Termite scene, the show always pushes the envelope. As we move into the show's fifth and final season, we can only expect things to get bloodier and more vulgar.

The upcoming fifth and final season, set to premiere sometime in 2026, will undoubtedly pull out all the stops to be the biggest, wildest season yet. But don't take it from me. Star Jack Quaid recently weighed in on the show's final season. Quaid has been heavily involved from the very first scene. If he says it's bigger and better, we believe him.

“A lot more blood. The streak continues, of course. It’s been really cool to play Hughie this season; the events of last...

Two things can be true at the same time: Like that doing press for James Griffiths’ “The Ballad of Wallis Island” has proven to be the “easiest thing” for star Carey Mulligan and that she might also have gotten a little close to crashing her car while doing exactly that. In the spirit of multitasking, Mulligan conducted her most recent interview with IndieWire while driving.

“Oh, I love the boys so much and I am so, sorry, I’m driving, so I’m trying not to crash,” Mulligan said. “They’re just my favorites, my favorite people, so I’m like, ‘Yes, let’s fucking do it. Let’s do it. Let’s go for it.’ It’s been so fun. It’s the easiest thing to do press for.”

“The boys” in question are director Griffiths, plus co-writers and co-stars Tim Key and Tom Basden. The long-time collaborators have...

Fans got an early glimpse at The Boys Season 5 today, courtesy of Antony Starr. As filming gets underway in Toronto, the actor took to Instagram to share an image of himself in full Homelander regalia on what appears to be a sound stage set.

"Greetings and peace from season 5," Starr wrote. The carousel post was complimented by a lengthy caption offering insights into the shoot, and additional content from the previous season. A surprise delivery of unreleased concept art for a scrapped sidekick, "Homeboy," in full costume was included, with Starr noting the artwork was "Homie's fav design" and claiming he laughed harder at the outfit "than anything in this show." Another image confirms Homelander's father role will continue getting screentime, showcasing Starr posing with Cameron Crovetti, who plays his on-screen son, Ryan, and promises there's still time for a Homeboy reveal. Crovetti hinted at the possibility, commenting on...

Eric Kripke created the paranormal drama series Supernatural, which starred Jared Padalecki in the role of Sam Winchester. The series ran for fifteen seasons and earned Padalecki plenty of fanfare. As a result, it might surprise viewers to learn that Padalecki almost missed out on the role because of one decision from Kripke.

During an interview, Padalecki opened up about his casting as Sam Winchester, one of the show’s two main characters. Padalecki admitted that his previous credit had almost excluded him from the race to score the role. Here is what Kripke wanted from the actor playing the role and why he initially felt Padalecki wasn’t suitable for it.

A report from Ampere Analysis shows that customers are using streaming service recommendations more often than previously.

Every single streaming service on the market knows the value of offering good recommendations to customers on what to watch next. Services that can keep viewers engaged with new shows and movies beyond the titles that initially bring users to the site have a much better chance of keeping those customers in the long term, and are constantly working on improving their recommendation algorithms. Those efforts may be having an effect; a new report from Ampere Analysis shows that viewers are now using streaming service recommendations to find a new title more often than they rely on word-of-mouth from family, friends, and social media.

Key Details: More than a quarter of customers said streaming recommendations were their top source for new content picks. Younger viewers are even more willing to trust recommendation algorithms.

The Directors Guild of America has tapped negotiating committee leadership for next year’s talks on a new three-year Basic Agreement and Freelance Live and Tape Television Agreement.

Jon Avnet will serve as Chair and Karen Gaviola will serve as Vice Chair of the committee, per the union. The current contracts expire on June 30, 2026. DGA National Executive Director Russell Hollander will serve as chief negotiator.

Avnet has served on the DGA negotiations committee for the past five bargaining cycles and was chair for the last two. He is currently a National Board member and on the Western Directors Council and is also Co-Chair of the DGA’s AI Committee, as well as a Trustee for the DGA Pension and Health Plans. His film and TV credits include Risky Business, Fried Green Tomatoes, Black Swan, Uprising, Justified and Sneaky Pete.

Gaviola has been on the negotiations committee for the past six bargaining cycles,...

“Meet Nathan Caine. He can’t feel pain.” As far as poster taglines go, that is an all-timer: neatly and succinctly boiling down a zany high concept into seven simple words. For yes, Nathan Caine (Jack Quaid) has congenital insensitivity to pain, a condition that comes in very handy when he inadvertently finds himself in an action-comedy film. In its outlandish premise tailor-made for wacky genre mishaps, it shares some ingredients with the nutty 2006 Jason Statham flick Crank — even if its execution is not quite as bold. (No falling out of a helicopter and surviving here.)

Novocaine’s Nathan is not dissimilar from Jack Quaid’s most famous role thus far, Hughie in The Boys: a bumbling, nerdy everyman, reluctantly thrust into a tough-guy world. When we meet him, he’s a kind-hearted credit union assistant manager, who mostly spends his spare time playing video games with the gamertag...

The ongoing debate over whether The Bear should be considered a comedy has even reached the crossword pages of The New York Times.

The clue: "The Boys and The Bear, for two"

Spoiler alert: The answer: "Tvdramas"

Keen-eyed puzzle solvers were quick to note the category (mis)classification.

"I do need to point out that every single genre-specific award The Bear has won — Emmy, Golden Globe, Critics Choice, even the NAACP Image Award — has been an award for comedy, not Tvdrama," wrote JGinDC in the forum posts for the crossword, which appeared in Monday's New York Times.

Added Austin, "I think most would agree that it’s been one of the most egregious cases of 'category fraud' in recent memory. The show belongs in Drama, not Comedy. Kudos to the constructor for calling them out!"

That said the puzzle's author, college student Victor Schmitt, who was making his crossword debut,...

It’s a packed week at popular streaming services, and we’ve picked a lineup of great TV show and movie premieres to watch.

It’s Spring Break in school districts across the United States! That can mean different things to students in different age groups; for college students, it means a break from the seemingly endless series of trips to the library, packed lecture halls, and Scantrons. For younger kids, it’s a chance to escape the halls of their school building and forget about papers and projects for a few days.

For either type of student — not to mention for parents — having new TV shows and movies to stream will be a critical part of the week’s entertainment. Check out my list below for a lineup of new titles to watch each and every day and help make Spring Break truly relaxing.

The Surrender

Director Julia Max's début feature, The Surrender, revolves around Megan's (Colby Minifie) tense relationship with her mother Barbara (Kate Burton). When her terminally ill father passes away, Barbara invites a stranger into the family home to resurrect the family patriarch, which only complicates mother and daughter's attempts to resolve their difficult past.

Max's previous credits include her debut short film, The Colonies (2015), a science-fiction premise with a reality television spin, and the horror, Pieces Of Me (2020), about a starlet who discovers a way to fulfil her dreams of fame and fortune. Minifie has starred in The Boys (2019-present), Fear The Walking Dead (2015-2023) and Charlie Kaufman's psychological thriller I'm Thinking Of Ending Things (2020).

Speaking with Eye For Film, Max and Minifie discussed The Surrender's personal roots, the unreliability of memory and how cinema can make us feel less alone.

Paul Risker: The word horror conjures up different expectations for.

As shooting for the fifth and final season of Prime Video's The Boys continues, Antony Starr has shared a behind-the-scenes photo from the set to Instagram along with two throwback snaps from the previous season and some unused concept art.

Starr is suited-up as Homelander in the set photo, and it doesn't look like there's been any major alterations to his costume. There was speculation that the leader of The Seven might don a new outfit for this final season after he took a step closer to the White House in the season 4 finale.

The actor also revealed some artwork for Ryan's (Cameron Crovetii) "Homeboy" costume, which never actually made the cut. Ryan appeared to fully give himself over to the "dark side" after killing Grace Mallory (Laila Robins) in the finale, so perhaps we'll see him suit-up alongside his father at some point in season 5.

While Netflix had been a pioneer in the streaming space, coming in with shows like House of Cards, Ozark, Stranger Things, and Orange is the New Black, there was a time when the streaming giant faced tough competition in the arena that it had created. One show, specifically waiting on Prime Video, really gave the platform a run for its money.

Man in the High Castle || Credit: Prime Video

Man in The High Castle was based on a novel by the seminal Philip K Dick, which explored an alternate world where Nazis won the Second World War, dividing up the continental United States between themselves and the Japanese. The show had such brilliant storytelling, whether it was music or dialogue, that it practically changed the streaming landscape, forcing all competitors to up their game.

Supernatural is the longest-running American fantasy TV show, having lasted an impressive 15 seasons. The beloved show has a dedicated audience that continues to make it relevant years after its conclusion. Despite the decline in popularity over the last few seasons and its failed spin-off, the series has maintained its credibility, setting the standards for various other new supernatural and fantasy shows.

What makes Supernatural so popular is undoubtedly the actors' exceptional performances and memorable quotes. Dozens of lines from the show are honored in pop culture, even reaching beyond the fandom to those who have yet to watch a single episode. The best quotes from Supernatural are memorable for various reasons, including their humor, uniqueness or heartwarming meaning.

Updated on March 21, 2025, by Natasha Elder: Many Supernatural quotes stand out because of what they reveal about certain characters or their ability to make fans laugh. Fans still discuss many of these...

Having now completed a full week in theaters, the action comedy film Novocaine is slowly inching towards box office success. While the marketplace isn’t exactly conducive towards original films these days — this was made evident last week, with no movie cracking the $10 million mark — Novocaine’s controlled budget could prove to be the pivotal difference between success and failure. This weekend, the film recovered its reported $18 million production budget, effectively making it a solid investment for Paramount. The studio is coming off the massive success of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, although the scrappy Novocaine was never expected to be as huge a success.

With $15 million domestically and another $5.3 million from overseas markets, Novocaine has now generated a cumulative global total of $21 million. The movie’s international roll-out is still in its early stages, which means that it has a chance of earning more in the coming weeks. Novocaine features...

Invincible Season 3 has revealed some big names as guest actors. Simu Liu played Multi-Paul, while Aaron Paul voiced Powerplex. It showed that the Prime Video series had a lot of pull, as it continued to be one of the streamer's most popular franchises.

Tracker stars Justin Hartley as Colter Shaw, a survivalist skilled in tracking down people and things. His estranged older brother, Russell, is played by Jensen Ackles. Russell is a former special forces operative and works for a private military contractor called Horizon Group.

Ackles and Hartley are long-time friends, which led to Ackles being cast as his on-screen brother. Russell brings a playful attitude, particularly in his second appearance, and plenty of Supernatural nods, including Dean Winchester’s signature exclamation.

Dean Winchester's Catchphrase Was "Son of a Bitch"

Dean Winchester says "Son of a Bitch" c. 163 times on Supernatural.

On Supernatural, Dean Winchester frequently uses “son of a bitch” as both an exclamation and an insult. He would call demons and other enemies an S.O.B.

Few shows in the history of television can claim to be as successful as "NCIS." The show itself was a spin-off of sorts from "Jag," but has gone on to become a monster in its own right. The flagship series has lasted over 20 seasons, but has also launched several very successful spin-offs and become a broadcast TV juggernaut. When something like this lasts so long, actors tend to come and go. Such was the case with Jennifer Esposito, who had a relatively small but beloved part to play in the show's history.

Esposito entered "NCIS" season 14 as Alex Quinn and stayed for just one season. Come time for season 15, the actress had moved onto other projects and CBS was pressing on without her. So, why did Esposito leave "NCIS," exactly? At the time, there was speculation that it had to do with her health.

Jensen Ackles was not sold on the finale of Supernatural when he first read it. It must be noted that Supernatural came to an end after 15 seasons, with Jared Padalecki and Ackles playing their respective characters for well over a decade. Dean Winchester famously died in the episode, apparently for good, given that Sam Winchester had a full life after him.

Ackles describes feeling ‘uneasy’ after the first time he was exposed to the nature of the finale, which makes sense, given how long the actor had played the character. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he revealed what he exactly felt about the finale, and how he eventually came around to saying goodbye to the show.

Once again, Netflix is refreshing its catalog, preparing for new releases to enter the platform. While the arrival of new titles is exciting, it can be disappointing for viewers who may not have had the opportunity to catch a favorite film or one that they haven't had the chance to see. Consider this a friendly reminder to queue up that watchlist with these films before they disappear.

With all sorts of genres ranging from children and family to horror and comedy, these films demand a viewing before they're removed from Netflix. Fortunately, not every release is leaving right as the month of April dawns, but that doesn't mean checking out the film should be delayed. For movie lovers who haven't watched a lot in March and are looking to stack their Letterboxd diaries, these are the films to watch out for.

There are several scenes in Supernatural throughout its fifteen-season run that make for a pretty whacky watch. There is one scene from Season 5 of the show that is something right out of an SNL sketch, but it just freaking works.

Part of it is because it was originally meant for Sam, but Jared Padalecki, being as strict as he is with character continuity, focused on having Dean do it, which worked out great in the end.

The episode in question sees Dean and Sam check themselves into a mental hospital, in hopes of catching a demon that has been making the patients his victim. His leads to some hilarious scenes when Dean and Sam need to improvise to not get caught, one of which is the crowning hilarious moment of the season.

Actor Jason Segel is currently on a hot streak with the success of his comedy-drama series Shrinking. The series received positive reviews across its first and second seasons, while a third installment is already in the works. However, Segel’s acclaimed work on the series wouldn’t have been possible without director Judd Apatow.

Per Deadline, Euphoria star Elizabeth Posey has been tapped to play one of the leading roles in Vought Rising, which is expected to begin filming later this year.

Jack Quaid has understandably gathered a lot of attention lately within the film and television world. From his performance as Hughie Campbell in The Boys to his most recent role as Nathan Caine in the newly released film, Novocaine,it is clear that Quaid possesses a talent and charm that entertains audiences. Additionally, within the past five years, Quaid has attached himself to a variety of large projects, including the Scream franchise and Companion. Given his recent successes, it is no surprise that some of his worth-the-watch movies have gotten lost in his expansive filmography.

One of these films is Logan Lucky, a 2017 heist comedy directed by Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's Eleven). The film is packed with stars, including Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Daniel Craig, Hilary Swank, and many more. With a 92% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, it is clear that Logan Lucky is just as enthralling as other films in which Quaid has appeared.

Blue Bloods always lived and died by its cast. The show was predicated on the bond between the various members of the Reagan family, so it makes sense that the connection between the actors was going to be crucial to selling this overriding theme to fans. Now that the show is over, though, Blue Bloods fans will have to undergo the bittersweet process of seeing their favorite actors make jumps to different shows.

Will Hochman is the first Blue Bloods star to do so. The actor, who played Joe Hill on Blue Bloods, has been cast in the prequel of the acclaimed superhero show The Boys. The specifics regarding his new character are being kept a secret, but we do know that he will be acting alongside established Boys stars like Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash.

The first teaser trailer for the superhero dark comedy splatter The Toxic Avengerhas been unveiled. Starring Peter Dinklage as the titular character, the upcoming Toxic Avenger reboot adapts Troma Entertainment's original 1984 movie with a meek janitor, renamed Winston, who transforms into a deformed yet powerful vigilante.

The film first screened at Fantastic Fest in September 2023 and will now see a broader theatrical release on August 29.

Troma Entertainment has released the first trailer for Toxic Avenger, beginning as an advertisement for an offbeat burger joint before Winston emerges to deliver blood-filled justice.
