The Riot at Valentino's Funeral Was Partly Staged — and It Invented Modern Celebrity Grief

A hundred thousand people, smashed windows, a fiancée collapsing on the coffin, and a press agent named Harry Klemfuss paying for a good deal of it. A century on from August 23, 1926, the hired Blackshirts are still in every retelling.

Rory Kennedy's Boeing Sequel Is on Netflix, Built Around a Whistleblower's Death

Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing follows Kennedy's 2022 film Downfall: The Case Against Boeing and centers on the death of John Barnett, the quality manager who spent years reporting safety problems on the 787 line.

Spider-Man Takes a Third Weekend at No. 1 While an Original Creature Feature Opens Soft

Brand New Day held the top spot again, while The End of Oak Street — J.J. Abrams and Warner Bros' original monster picture with Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor — landed at roughly $20 million, the bottom of its projected range, on a B CinemaScore. The weekend still totals around $158 million, the strongest 33rd weekend since before the pandemic. Both facts are true at once: moviegoing is healthy, and almost none of that health is reaching films without a franchise behind them.

Netflix's Mourinho Documentary Can't Quite Find the Real Mourinho

Released August 11: three episodes, two years of filming, and a witness list running through Ferguson, Casillas, Ibrahimović, Drogba, Eto'o, Lampard and Terry, from the producer behind Beckham. The Chelsea years and the Inter treble get room to breathe; the drifting decade through United, Spurs, Roma, Fenerbahçe and Benfica gets hurried past. The verdict is that it's worth watching for the seams — the moments where someone describes the man the persona was built to hide.

House of the Dragon Closes Season 3 With the Battle of Tumbleton

The finale runs a feature-length 75 minutes — the longest episode the series has made — and pulls Daemon, the Winter Wolves, the Starks and both halves of the war into a single mega-scale set piece. Critics split hard: some called it Game of Thrones-worthy spectacle, others flagged narrative choices that repeat season two's missteps. It's the last new episode until the fourth and final season in 2028.

Ricky Gervais' Feral-Cat Comedy 'Alley Cats' Lands on Netflix to Sharply Split Reviews

Six 15-minute episodes of 2D-animated British strays, heavy on profanity and lad-ish banter. Variety found it unexpectedly bittersweet beneath the crudeness; other critics were far less charitable, with one reporting zero laughs across the whole run. A rare case where the review spread is more interesting than the consensus.

Ted Lasso Season 4 Premieres to a Mixed Critical Reception

The Apple TV comedy returns with Ted back home in Kansas City rather than Richmond, manning a supermarket register and helping his mother move while his now 12-year-old son Henry comes to visit. Early reviews of the premiere are split, with the season's Rotten Tomatoes score hovering in the mid-70s as critics divide between calling it a welcome fresh start and missing the show's old spark.
