Holy cow, May is almost over! That means June is almost here, bringing with it summer. While there are plenty of summer activities one can do outdoors, let's not forget the ultimate summer vibe: sitting inside watching TV. Hey, it gets hot out there! You could go outside and sweat a lot, or you could sit on your couch with the air conditioner blasting, watching Netflix. As is their custom, Netflix will be kicking several titles to the curb as the month rolls over, which means you better act fast to watch some of these films and TV shows. Below, we're highlighting some of best titles leaving Netflix in June 2024.

Christine Brown is a new woman since divorcing Kody Brown.
The Sister Wives star has her husband, David Woolley, to thank for that in many ways.
The lovebirds tied the knot in October 2023 and have been enjoying each other’s company every second since.
Most recently, David has been introducing Christine to some of his interests, and as far as he’s concerned, he’s “corrupted” his wife of seven months.
David took to Instagram recently to share a video of himself and his lady love as they had some fun on the deck of their Utah home.
Christine and David recreated Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly’s famous “Shake-n-Bake” scene from the movie Talladega Nights.

Exclusive: WME has signed Judd Apatow, the prolific hyphenate responsible for a ton of comedy box office and the launch of many stars and filmmakers in that space.
As Deadline exclusively revealed, Apatow ended a 30-year relationship with UTA, and took meetings with the other majors before deciding his next chapter will be with WME. It’s a coup for the agency, which recently signed Kevin Hart and Ben Stiller.
Apatow remains managed by Mosaic’s Jimmy Miller and lawyered by Ziffrin Brittenham. Apatow’s successes in the comedy space range from Freaks and Geeks and the HBO series Girls to films like Talladega Nights, The 40-Year Old Virgin, Trainwreck, the Anchorman films, Bridesmaids, Step Brothers, Superbad, Knocked Up, Begin Again, Funny People, The Big Sick, The King of Staten Island, Bros, Pineapple Express and so many others. Among the star careers empowered by Apatow include Seth Rogen, Lena Dunham,...

Exclusive: Writer-director-producer Judd Apatow has left UTA, ending one of the most tenured relationships with a major filmmaker and a major agency.
Apatow spent 30 years at the agency, 20 of them with David Kramer, and he remains managed by Mosaic’s Jimmy Miller and lawyered by Ziffrin Brittenham. These long relationships often come to a close, usually when the client wants to shake things up at a moment when it is hard, particularly in the comedy space. It was amicable, and I hear he’ll be meeting with CAA and WME.
But this is a moment to tip the hat at how the agency helped Apatow build his brand, and how Apatow’s prolific successes were a major part of building UTA. There aren’t many tenured relationships that led to as much success as Apatow has had and how many careers he has launched in that time. That goes from...

A car crash interview with a delusional prince, a new series adaptation featuring Patricia Highsmith’s most infamous creation, the second part of Zack Snyder’s pricey space opera and a paranormal detective show set within Neil Gaiman’s celebrated Sandman universe are among the big titles hitting Netflix in April.
Debuting April 4 is Ripley, Netflix’s glossy new take on Highsmith’s 1955 crime novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. Fresh from the critical acclaim he received for All of Us Strangers, Irish actor Andrew Scott will be inhabiting the role of Tom Ripley in an adaptation that will be screened in black-and-white. The eight-episode series also stars Johnny Flynn as Dickie Greenleaf, Dakota Fanning as Marge Sherwood, and acting newcomer Eliot Sumner (son of Sting and Trudie Styler) as Freddie Miles. Written and directed by Oscar winner Steven Zaillian, Ripley was originally set for release on Showtime before it found a new home on Netflix.

Christopher Nolan has firmly established himself as one of the greatest directors in Hollywood history. His remarkable filmography has left an indelible mark, resonating across generations of movie lovers worldwide throughout the years. Everyone loves working with him, and that includes Cillian Murphy and other top actors. With that said, aside from Tokyo Drift, Christopher Nolan has another guilty pleasure movie he has no shame in admitting.
A pivotal scene from The Dark Knight
Christopher Nolan is widely praised for his remarkable contributions to cinema, earning unwavering support from both casual viewers and dedicated film enthusiasts. His Batman trilogy, The Prestige, and other notable works have solidified his revered status in the industry.

It's been 23 years since Christopher Nolan dazzled moviegoers with his breakout neo-noir "Memento," and he has more than made good on that film's overwhelming promise. In terms of building a Hollywood filmmaking career, there's not a single misstep in his filmography. He proved himself capable of handling a major studio picture with "Insomnia," did a graceful one-for-them/one-for-me two-step between Batman movies and personal projects, and now can call his tune at an unprecedented level. Every studio wants Nolan, and they're willing to give him anything he wants to lock him down.
And now that he's about to win the Best Picture and Best Director Oscars for "Oppenheimer" (a three-hour biopic that is currently $60 million short of a $1 billion worldwide gross), his rate is about to get a significant bump.
Given that Nolan has never gone more than three years between movies, it's not too early to speculate as to what he'll do next.

Netflix comedy movies in March 2024 cover every subgenre in the category. Whether you’re looking to stream slapstick, a rom-com, or something with a side of horror, Netflix’s March additions have something for you.
While any time is a good time to watch a comedy, springtime and laughs can go hand-in-hand. With warmer weather (and summer blockbusters) around the corner, spend your March with Netflix’s best comedy movies.
‘Beverly Hills Ninja’ Coming to Netflix March 1
Celebrate comedy legend Chris Farley by streaming Beverly Hills Ninja on Netflix beginning March 1. The 1997 martial arts comedy marks the final film released during Farley’s lifetime, as the actor died less than a year after its release.
Farley stars as Haru, adopted as a child by a clan of ninjas who believe he’ll become the master promised in legends. As expected, Haru never entirely becomes a ninja despite his best efforts.

A writer who claims the 2021 comedy “Don’t Look Up” was substantially similar to his self-published novel is suing writer-director Adam McKay and Netflix for copyright infringement.
Author William Collier says that in 2007, he sent his daughter, who was working at Mosaic Media division Jimmy Miller Entertainment, an email with the text of his novel “Stanley’s Comet,” for the company to consider as material. Collier alleges that his novel had numerous themes and plot points in common with “Don’t Look Up,” which McKay is said to have written in 2019. Jimmy Miller Entertainment was McKay’s manager at the time and collaborated with him on films such as “Talladega Nights.”
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court, Central District of California on Wednesday. Collier is named as plaintiff, while McKay, his production company Hyperobject Industries and Netflix are defendants.
“The plot of both works is practically identical,” the lawsuit alleges.

In 2012, William Collier self-published a dark comedy novel called Stanley’s Comet. It focuses on the discovery by a low-level NASA scientist of a giant comet on a collision course with Earth. Initially, the government is skeptical of whether it will make impact but eventually plans a nuclear strike, which, for political reasons, is aborted. In the meantime, the scientist is catapulted into fame as people are divided on whether to take the threat seriously and the wealthy make alternative plans for survival.
Viewers may recognize that plot from Don’t Look Up, according to a lawsuit Collier filed on Wednesday in California federal court against Netflix, Adam McKay and his production company Hyperobject Industries. He accuses them of ripping off his book and says that the works are “strikingly similar” to each other, pointing to McKay receiving a copy of his novel through his manager.

Adam McKay won’t move forward with “Average Height, Average Build,” a comedy about a serial killer that was set to star Robert Pattinson, Amy Adams and Robert Downey Jr. Netflix was supposed to produce the star-studded film, but the streamer won’t make the project without McKay’s involvement behind the camera, sources confirmed to Variety.
Instead, the writer and director will reportedly focus on a movie about climate change, a topic that seems about as ripe for laughs as murderers. However, McKay has found the humor in dark topics before — tackling the financial crash of 2008 in “The Big Short,” the Iraq War in “Vice,” and natural disasters with “Don’t Look Up.” It’s unclear how he’ll take on the mounting threat to the planet or if Netflix will be involved.

A knockout performance anchors a mostly charming fish-out-of-water comedy that has stayed a seasonal favorite ever since
The first rule in the Code of Elves is to “treat every day like Christmas”, and that, in a nutshell, is Will Ferrell’s comic style. At 6ft 3in, he’s almost always the tallest actor on screen yet his instinct is to play even bigger, with an ungainly exuberance that tends to set the tone for whatever scene he’s in. He’s a Bergdorf Goodman window display. He’s the neighbor who nearly kills himself every year hanging enough lights and gaudy holiday bric-a-brac around his house to slow traffic in the subdivision. He couldn’t fade back into the scenery if he tried – and, to his immense credit, he never, ever tries.
It’s not quite right to say he was born to play Buddy, an exuberant orphan raised in Santa’s workshop in Elf,...

"Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" usually tops lists of the best Will Ferrell movies, but for many, the silly, raucous classic that is "Step Brothers" is simply unbeatable. The tale of 40-year-old man-children Brennan Huff (Ferrell) and Dale Doback (John C. Reilly) struggling to get along after their parents marry and move in together solidified its two stars as the perfect pairing. Ferrell and Reilly had worked together on "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" but it was 2008's "Step Brothers" that truly tapped into their shared talent for sheer buffoonery.
There are other movies like "Step Brothers" but none quite manage the absolute stupidity of two 40-year-old men living with their parents and acting like spoiled 14-year-old brats. With Adam McKay directing and co-writing, the film was in good hands from the outset, especially since the man behind most of the best early-2000s comedies, Judd Apatow,...

The episode of Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? covering The Descent was Written by Emilie Black, Narrated by Adam Walton, Edited by Jaime Vasquez, Produced by Andrew Hatfield and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
The decade comprised of the years 2000 to 2009 seems to be maligned by many horror fans as a bad period, a period where nothing good was released. Much like the decades before it when folks maligned the 1990s, 1980s, and now more recent movies, there was some bad stuff put out of course, but there were also a whole of good movies too. Some of them, like The Strangers in 2008, The House of the Devil in 2009, and Brotherhood of the Wolf in 2001 were excellent even. People often seem to paint the past in a better light and vilify the more recent eras when it comes to horror films. In 2005, plenty of horror films were released.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer boasts an impressive list of actors in the cast. Even more so when you see the movie and there are more impressive actors making cameos. Nolan is also known for working with a close-knit group of actors with whom he’s comfortable and enjoys collaborating. Michael Caine, for example, was a regular of his up until Oppenheimer. However, he would finally give the spotlight to a frequent supporting actor in his films, Cillian Murphy. Murphy has been one to reliably support the big name in Nolan’s movies, but when he finally was called up to the plate, Murphy would not waste this opportunity.
As grateful as Murphy was to take on the lead in one of Nolan’s most praised of films, Variety reports that he reflected on a film of Nolan’s he would’ve liked to have starred in — the sci-fi space drama,...

Christopher Nolan knows if you ain’t first, you’re last.
The “Oppenheimer” director revealed that 2006 Adam McKay-directed comedy “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” is one of his favorite films during an appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show.”
When asked what movies Nolan would consider to be a “remote drop,” aka if it was playing on TV, he could not change the channel, the auteur placed “Talladega Nights” next to the classics of Stanley Kubrick.
“I haven’t heard the remote drop as a phrase, that’s fantastic,” Nolan said. “There are so many. I flip around and if there’s an old movie playing…I mean, god, anything by Kubrick is a remote drop. Some of the great comedies too. I mean, ‘Talladega Nights,’ I’m never going to be able to switch that up.”
He quoted the movie adding, “If you ain’t first, you’re last.

It’s always interesting to learn the favourite movies of some of your favourite filmmakers; sometimes they’re exactly what you’d expect and other times… they’re not. While speaking on The Rich Eisen Show, Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan was asked to name some of his favourite “remote drops,” meaning a movie you just have to watch when you stumble across it on television, and he responded with Talladega Nights: The Legend of Ricky Bobby.
“I mean, god, anything by [Stanley] Kubrick, you know? It’s a remote drop,” Christopher Nolan said. “And some of the great comedies too, I mean ‘Talladega Nights,’ I’m never gonna be able to switch that up.” When asked to confirm if Talladega Nights really was a Christopher Nolan remote drop movie, Nolan simply responded with a quote from the movie: “If you ain’t first, you’re last.“

Eisen asked Nolan to name his favorite “remote drops,” referring to films that you just have to watch any time you’re scrolling through TV channels and see it’s airing.

It's Barbie's world and we're just living in it. Warner Bros. released director Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" in theaters over the weekend and, despite some very serious, much-hyped direct competition from Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer," the film managed to make history with a record-breaking $162 million domestic box office debut. The record-breaking, however, wasn't over — this Monday the film broke a record that has been held by "The Dark Knight" for 15 years.
"Barbie" earned $26.1 million domestically on Monday (per The Numbers), the best performance ever for a Warner Bros. release. The previous record holder for a Monday at the box office in the studio's storied history was, indeed, Nolan's "The Dark Knight," which took in $24.6 million on its first Monday back in 2008, as noted by Variety. It is not lost on me, or likely anyone, that Nolan is involved once again, in a sense, as "Oppenheimer" is in direct competition with "Barbie.

Following a handful of supporting roles in “Tag,” “Green Book” and “The Irishman,” Sebastian Maniscalco makes his first bid for leading-man status with “About My Father,” a family comedy sourced from the same semi-autobiographical material that made his stand-up a commercial and cultural phenomenon. To say it’s better than all three “Meet the Parents” films may be a dubious compliment, but it’s one made more significant because it co-stars Robert De Niro — and more importantly, actually features recognizable human behavior amidst its suitably outlandish set pieces. Whether or not Maniscalco has a legitimate future as a movie star, he proves a likeable presence as a romantic lead, while director Laura Terruso skillfully delivers comedic payoffs that tap into his wheelhouse while introducing him to a wider audience.

Don’t Look Up director Adam McKay has launched the nonprofit Yellow Dot Studios as a content production banner to raise awareness about the global climate crisis.
The new venture aims to quickly produce videos, memes and media for viral distribution and will kick off with the debut video “Commercial For Big Money.” McKay, who is also known for movies like Vice, The Big Short, Anchorman, Step Brothers and Talladega Nights, in a statement said Yellow Dot needs to play catch up as the mainstream media is slow to cover the global climate emergency.
“Oil companies’ horrible and destructive disinformation created decades of delay in dealing with climate breakdown. Yellow Dot’s goal is to push back, whether that’s through in-house videos, or videos for climate orgs and activist groups, to help get people involved and activated at a rapid pace,” McKay argued.

Satirical filmmaker Adam McKay has his follow-up to the four-time Oscar-nominee “Don’t Look Up” ready to go at Netflix. “Average Height, Average Build” will star Robert Pattinson, Amy Adams, Robert Downey Jr., Forest Whitaker and Danielle Deadwyler. The premise, while a little far-fetched, aims to poke fun at the political lobbying system. Pattinson will star as a (retired) serial killer who hires a lobbyist (Adams), in the hopes of getting laws changed so he can literally get away with murder. Downey is a detective who has been on Pattinson’s character’s trail for years, and who refuses to give up.
According to Deadline, McKay shopped the script around before deciding to return to Netflix. “Don’t Look Up,” the environmental allegory comedy-horror, is said to be the Big Red Streamer’s second-most-watched film of all time, boasting 360 million streamed hours worldwide in its first 28 days.

Will Ferrell is no stranger to sports comedies, with the likes of “Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby,” “Semi-Pro,” and “Blades Of Glory” already under his belt. Now he’ll tackle territory similar to “Happy Gilmore” and “Caddyshack.” Deadline reports that Ferrell will headline an upcoming golf comedy series about a pro golfer who becomes the controversial face of a new league competing with the PGA.

Exclusive: In what is shaping up to become one of the biggest TV comedy packages to hit the marketplace in awhile, Will Ferrell & Jessica Elbaum’s Gloria Sanchez Productions and Rian Johnson & Ram Bergman’s T-Street have teamed up to develop a comedy TV series as a starring vehicle for Ferrell, I have learned.
No one would comment but I hear the series revolves around a professional golfer who becomes the face of a controversial new league competing with the PGA.
While fictional, the story would inevitably draw parallels to the controversial Liv Golf startup. It also evokes one of Ferrell’s signature movies, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. The series is in a similar tone, I hear, bringing Ferrell back to the sports arena he also explored in Blades of Glory and Semi-Pro.
