Slenderman, Dancing Serbian Lady and… ‘Jimmy Jaguar’? Bence Fliegauf Summons New Demon While ‘Hungary’s Boiling Like Lava in Hell’

Tubi, the free streaming service owned by Fox, just snagged two heavy hitters from Snap and Viacom for its ad sales team. Sharon Silverstein, who spent over eight years leading North American sales at Snap, is stepping in as SVP to oversee U.S. industry verticals. Katelyn Kroneman (another Snap alum) is also joining, though her exact role isn’t spelled out here. It’s a clear play to beef up Tubi’s ad strategy as streaming wars heat up.

Editor’s Note: Tubi’s making a power move. Hiring execs with deep ad sales chops from Snap—a company that’s nailed youth-focused digital advertising—signals they’re serious about competing for ad dollars in the crowded streaming space. For viewers, this could mean more targeted (or maybe more annoying?) ads. For the industry, it’s another sign that free, ad-supported streaming isn’t just surviving—it’s thriving.

Legendary director Terry Gilliam is looking back on his cult classic Brazil as it hits the 40-year mark, calling it a miracle the film even got made—and admitting he’s tired of the battles filmmakers face today. At Italy’s Umbria Film Festival, he’ll revisit the dystopian satire, which earned Oscar nods and BAFTA wins, but his real focus is on how tough it’s become to get bold, unconventional projects off the ground.

Editor’s Note: Gilliam’s reflections aren’t just nostalgia—they’re a snapshot of how Hollywood’s creative landscape has shifted. Brazil was a fight to make in the '80s, but today’s risk-averse studios might’ve killed it outright. His weariness speaks to a bigger issue: where’s the room for audacious, messy art in today’s algorithm-driven entertainment? For film buffs and aspiring directors, it’s a sobering reality check.

Fox's upcoming medical comedy Best Medicine just got even more star power—Abigail Spencer is joining Josh Charles in this American remake of the beloved British series Doc Martin. The show, set to start filming this summer in upstate New York, follows (presumably) a quirky small-town doctor navigating hilarious mishaps and heartwarming moments.

Editor’s Note: If you're a fan of Doc Martin or lighthearted medical comedies, this is one to watch. Spencer and Charles are both charismatic actors, and the original series’ charm suggests this adaptation could be a hit. Plus, filming in upstate New York might bring some scenic small-town vibes to the screen. More proof that networks are still betting on cozy, feel-good shows.

Actress Abigail Spencer, known for her roles in Suits and How I Met Your Mother, has just been cast as a lead alongside Josh Charles in Fox’s upcoming medical comedy Best Medicine. The show, adapted from the British hit Doc Martin, follows a brilliant but quirky surgeon (played by Charles) navigating small-town life. Filming kicks off this summer in upstate New York.

Editor’s Note: This is a fun get for fans of Spencer and lighthearted workplace comedies. Fox is betting on the charm of its leads and the proven formula of Doc Martin—think fish-out-of-water humor with a stethoscope. If it lands, it could fill the cozy, feel-good void left by shows like Ted Lasso. Plus, upstate New York’s scenery might just become a character itself.

Pearl Jam’s longtime drummer Matt Cameron is stepping away from the band after 27 years. In a personal note, he shared his gratitude for the journey but didn’t dive into specifics about why he’s leaving. It’s the end of an era for one of grunge’s most iconic rhythm sections.

Editor’s Note: For fans, this isn’t just a lineup change—it’s losing a key piece of Pearl Jam’s sound since their '90s heyday. Cameron’s departure raises questions about the band’s future and stirs nostalgia for the golden age of grunge. Even if the split is amicable, it’s a bittersweet moment for rock music.
