New Starz comedy Blunt Talk is making its debut online before its official premiere date. The series, which stars Patrick Stewart and Jacki Weaver, is now available on multiple platforms, including Starz.com and Facebook.

The show focuses on Walter Blunt, a British TV news anchor whose ego and behavior aren’t so camera-appropriate (think snorting coke and other debauchery), but make for some great R-rated humor. Starz is so confident in the show it has already committed to two seasons. Of course, the creative team behind it certainly must have helped make the decision; it comes from creator Jonathan Ames and will be executive produced by Seth MacFarlane, Fuzzy Door Prods, Tristram Shapeero, Stephanie Davis, and Ames.

Stewart is clearly excited about the early release, captioning the video on Facebook, “Waiting is over. Here it is! The premiere episode of Blunt Talk is streaming now! My character Walter Blunt’s behavior is a little embarrassing in this episode, but I am proud of the show.”

Stewart also tweeted the news, directing fans to Starz to get an early start on the series.

The decision to make Blunt Talk available for free streaming on social media was likely inspired by a rival premium network. HBO partnered with Facebook to show Ballers and The Brink on the social network just days after their June 21 premieres. Ballers, in particular, benefited from the move; the first episode was posted on star Dwayne Johnson’s page, which had almost 50 million followers at the time.

Blunt Talk‘s first two episodes are available for streaming now. The sitcom premieres on Starz on August 22 at 9 p.m. EDT (8 p.m. CDT).

While Nimona has been the big Netflix original animated film of the summer, it's far from the only addition to the lineup.

However, Netflix's biggest recent addition is one of 2022's biggest animated hits: DreamWorks' Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Netflix's deals with Sony Pictures Animation, DreamWorks Animation, and Universal Pictures have given it a powerhouse library of animated films. And that's before we even get into Netflix's impressive originals like The Sea Beast. To help you keep track of what's new and what you can stream right now, we've updated our list of the best animated movies on Netflix.

From Barbarella to Howard the Duck: the 7 cheesiest sci-fi movies ever
Howard the Duck in "Howard the Duck."

The science-fiction genre has a vast smorgasbord of cheesy films stretching way back to the early days of cinema. Such pictures are known for their weird stories, unrealistic dialogue, low-budget productions, and exaggerated acting.

While many of these films have been panned by critics and audiences alike, some of them have garnered success for being "so bad, they're good." Whether or not they have been held up by a dedicated fan base, these seven movies stand out as the cream of the cheesy sci-fi crop.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked
Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
