It also looks like even though Star began adding non-Disney material in its final year or two, Hulu still has some US-exclusive licensed content, such as #Bewitched & the 1965 version of R&H's "Cinderella".

According to my VPN, titles available in 4K on Canadian Star, but only HD on American Hulu (such as #Alien), received neither an upgrade nor a downgrade in either country after the rebranding.

Hulu is being added to Disney+ internationally on October 8.

It will be replace Star as the streaming service’s adult TV tile.

I tend to think of this as a poorly-aged relic of when American parents deemed #Pokemon harmful:

I hoped for at least a year that the app would add this.

An updated version of this list would place "Victor/Victoria" above "Despicable Me".

Is Disney+ the only streaming service with a search engine that places programs you can't watch above those you can?

The Disney iOS app's top eight search results for "queen", consisting of NCAA games locked off to anyone without ESPN in their package.

The second page of search results, including six more inaccessible NCAA games.

The third page, placing one more locked-off NCAA game above five programs I actually can watch with Disney+ or Hulu. The program I was originally searching for, "Queen: Rock Montreal", is result #19, including the inaccessible games.

They had a rushed romance in #Stuber, which this video originally promoted.

#Ahsoka S1 and #ObiWanKenobi (and, more understandably, #Andor S1) also received disc releases earlier than Boba Fett.

I wish I knew whether to blame Google or Nintendo for the Switch YouTube app's compatibility issues with Switch 2, which remain unfixed three months after I purchased my console.

Hailee Steinfeld says she’s now recording for ‘BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE’

“I wonder sometimes if anything ever gets scrapped, because I’ve said the word 'Miles' in so many different ways and tones — they probably have a whole library”

Sometimes #TheMandalorian seems like a case *against* giving Star Wars roles to MMA athletes with minimal acting experience, or comedians who openly hate the franchise.

Did you know that the McDonalds YouTube channel recently posted a cartoon set partially in a "discontinued menu items" graveyard? IDK if it would make sense w/o the first 3 eps though. youtube.com/watch?v=fXvE...

If I counted her live TV production of R&H's Cinderella as a movie, it would get 5th place.

Julie Andrews at 90: the magical nanny with a sideline in the sly, sexy and subversive

Britain’s practically perfect star enters her 10th decade today. To celebrate we look back over the remarkably rich, radical – and sometimes risqué – career of an actor best known for tucking up children in the mid 1960s

Once the sight of non-child-friendly Hulu material on the Disney+ apps stopped feeling like a joke, that segment seemed like a waste of time, anyway.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Reminds me of the Carol Burnett sketches in which obnoxious parodies of commercial spokespeople break into her kitchen, or narrate over her chores.

Question:

When in the actual fuck, as a country, did we decide that our government gets to demand that we mourn someone in some particular way?

Perhaps #Schmigadoon had meta reasons to cast Kristin Chenoweth as an intentionally-reprehensible depiction of a religious prude.

YouTube have implemented an AI powered "Restricted Mode" designed to hide "mature content" & for many users it's defaulted to being switched ON

Here's what my channel looks like with & without it and MANY of my videos suddenly disappear.

So please make sure you have this Restricted Mode turned OFF
