The MoviePass Fiasco Is Getting It's Own Documentary - A few years ago MoviePass offered a deal that didn’t seem to make sense…for just ten bucks a month, you could watch an unlimited amount of movies in theaters. It seemed too good to be true…and it was! The company eventually shut down after burning through piles of cash.  Now the true story of how the subscription-movie company quickly rose and fell in a new documentary for HBO, “MoviePass, MovieCrash.” The doc covers how the original founders of the company got thrown out, the huge spending on partying, and the eventual shuttering of its doors in 2019.  The doc features interviews with employees, former FTC director Daniel Kaufman, and the actual users of the service...who used it…a lot. “MoviePass, MovieCrash” comes out on May 29th at 9PM Eastern on HBO.

Netflix Announces New Episodes Of "3 Body Problem," But No Renewal - Yet: The hit Netflix sci-fi series "3 Body Problem" isn't coming to an end, and hasn't been renewed - it's somewhere in between.

It also scored a 79-percent on Rotten Tomatoes, all of which made it a big hit for the platform.
