SPECIALS

Kate Berlant: Parmesan (HBO Original Comedy Series)

Seamlessly weaving through personal stories and stream-of-consciousness epiphanies, Kate offers up razor-sharp reflections on everything from the moon to her destructive relationship to technology to the evolving nature of sexuality.

Filmed at the historic Plaza Nightclub in Los Angeles, Kate Berlant: Parmesan is a hilarious tour de force that skewers the many contradictions of modern life and the art of stand-up comedy itself.

Credits: Written and performed by Kate Berlant, who serves as an executive producer alongside Dave Kneebone, Janel Kranking, and Naomi McPherson; directed by Doron Max Hagay.

For a generation of football fans, former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart was one of the most electrifying players of the 1990s. Nicknamed “Slash” for his ability to excel at multiple positions, Stewart helped redefine what was possible for an NFL quarterback.

But just as he became one of football’s biggest stars, a malicious rumor upended his life. Through candid interviews with Stewart and others who witnessed his brightest and darkest moments, Kordell Stewart: Slash & Burn explores the personal toll of scrutiny beyond the football field while searching for the truth behind a story that followed Stewart for decades.

FILMS

The Housemaid (Lionsgate Film)
Debuts October 9
The Housemaid is a wildly entertaining thriller starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, based on the best-selling book. From director Paul Feig, the film plunges audiences into a twisted world where perfection is an illusion, and nothing is as it seems. Trying to escape her past, Millie (Sweeney) accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar).

But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous — a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power. Behind the Winchesters’ closed doors lies a world of shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end.
