On Tuesday, Aug. 5, Netflix released the first trailer for Jay Kelly, the first movie by Marriage Story director Baumbach, 55, since 2022's White Noise.
'Everybody knows Jay Kelly, but Jay Kelly doesn't know himself," reads a tagline for the movie, shared when Netflix first unveiled its released date and an image of Clooney in the film in May.
The film "follows famous movie actor Jay Kelly (Clooney) and his devoted manager Ron (Sandler) as they embark on a whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey through Europe.

Gerwig, 41, has largely transitioned to working as a director in recent years, but she last appeared on the big screen in Baumbach's White Noise, which also starred Adam Driver. For Jay Kelly, Baumbach and actress Mortimer, 53, co-wrote the screenplay.
Scott Stuber, a former Netflix executive who left the company in 2024, described the movie to Collider back in November 2023 as "an excellent kind of Jerry Maguire-esque, for lack of a better analogy," and also called it "a really great life-affirming movie," while Netflix itself described the film on Tudum as "a heartbreaking comedy."

'South Park' To Lose Streaming Home Following Donald Trump Episode Debut
The hit television series South Park made headlines once again with its Season 27 premiere which featured the debut of South Park 's very own Donald Trump parody. The controversial episode sparked debate and laughter across the internet, something which South Park has succeeded in doing for years, and now the series is once again the topic of conversation following the announcement that it will lose its streaming home. South Park has been available to stream via HBO Max for just over five years now, making the series one of the streaming platform's most notable hits. As is the case with the streaming world, however, their license to stream the series has ran out just after the debut of the aforementioned Donald Trump episode titled ' Sermon on the 'Mount .' Fortunately, fans will still have a streaming alternative after South Park leaves HBO Max on August 5, as shared via ComicBook. This alternate platform will become the show's new and exclusive streaming home while South Park also continues to air on television via Comedy Central. The outlet specifically confirms that, as a result of a deal between Paramount Global and Park Country, the company ran by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the series will now be available to stream only via Paramount Plus. This deal was made as part of a $1.5 billion exclusive five-year deal with the new streaming home. As a result, all previous 26 seasons will be available to stream in addition to the feature-length specials based on the property. The deal also offers a new home for future episodes of the series, with as many as 50 new episodes being greenlit for a total of five new seasons. The Donald Trump parody episode Sermon on the 'Mount was just the first new episode of South Park in two years, but it's brought the series back with a bang, and now the next episode is scheduled to drop via Comedy Central on August 6. Fans can stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding South Park as we have them. As for now, it looks like fans will also have to start using Paramount Plus for their South Park binges as the series will officially have left HBO Max this month.

What Tennessee football scenes did – and didn't – make the Netflix SEC show final cut
Tennessee is the only College Football Playoff team featured in the new Netflix SEC docuseries, but the Vols didn't get as much screen time as their opponents. UT granted behind-the-scenes access to Netflix during the 2024 season for its seven-episode series called 'SEC Football: Any Given Saturday,' which premiered on Aug. 5. Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, Oklahoma, Ole Miss and Texas opted out of the series. Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, LSU, South Carolina, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt were featured prominently. Tennessee was sprinkled in a few episodes. That's not to say that there weren't notable highlights of the Vols, but they were few and far between. Here's the Tennessee football access that Netflix got Netflix filmed footage of five Tennessee games: Wins over Florida, UTEP and Vanderbilt and losses to Arkansas and Ohio State. UT also granted access to the locker room, as well as interviews with coach Josh Heupel and a few players. Wide receiver Bru McCoy was the only player who appeared in a formal interview in the series. Episode 7 is the one to watch for Tennessee fans Tennessee is the only playoff team in the series, and that's highlighted in episode 7. Netflix filmed Heupel interacting with fans at the 'Vol Calls' coaches show at Calhoun's on the River. 'Just win. That's all it takes,' Heupel tells a fan when asked how the Vols can make the playoff. Heupel was right, as the Vols beat Vanderbilt 36-23 on Nov. 30 to earn a playoff spot. Highlights from that game are prominently featured in the episode. Diego Pavia: '(Expletive) … them dudes' from Tennessee Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia had some colorful remarks about UT before the game. 'We can beat Tennessee literally any given Saturday. They think they're going to destroy us,' Pavia said during an interview in episode 7. '(Expletive) every single one of them dudes, you know? We're gonna win this game at all costs.' Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea joined Pavia in his desire to beat UT. 'I want to (expletive) beat Tennessee, and I need everyone to be on the same page,' Lea told his players during a team meeting in the UT game week. 'We're not leaving that stadium Saturday without a win.' Netflix captured UT players singing during a victory celebration in the locker room after the game. 'We don't give a (expletive) about the whole school of Vanderbilt, the whole school of Vanderbilt, the whole school of Vanderbilt,' UT players sang. 'We don't give a (expletive) about the whole school of Vanderbilt. We're from Tennessee.' BOO CARTER Vols star is back as full participant in practice Bru McCoy tells his story to Netflix McCoy is also featured in episode 7. He talked about his upbringing in sports guided by his parents, who were both college athletes at Northern Illinois. 'I was raised by two athlete parents. My mom was a volleyball player. My dad played football,' McCoy said. 'So the environment I was raised in was: 'Be the best, be well-mannered, treat people the right way, but win.' 'Losing in any way, I just hate it.' McCoy's parents, Horace and Shelby, watched the CFP selection show from their home in Rolling Hills Estates, California, while Netflix filmed their reaction. They anxiously hoped the Vols would land a home game at Neyland Stadium in the first round. Instead, the Vols had to play at Ohio State, where they lost 42-17. McCoy's big game didn't make the final cut Netflix was on hand for UT's win over UTEP on senior day, when McCoy had a career-high two touchdowns catches. Its camera crew was only a few feet away from McCoy in the end zone for those scores. However, that footage didn't make the final cut of the series. Why Tennessee fans should skip episode 3 Episode 3 highlights two upsets on Oct. 5: Vanderbilt over Alabama and Arkansas over Tennessee. It praises UT's dominant defensive line as one of the best in college football. But that just sets up the shock of the Vols' 19-14 loss, capped by quarterback Nico Iamaleava inexplicably running out of bounds on the final play. Needless to say, UT fans can skip that episode. Why Neyland Stadium atmosphere wasn't featured It's obvious that Netflix wanted to feature colorful characters and dramatic storylines in the series. That's consistent with its approach in NFL-centric docuseries like "Quarterback" and "Receiver." Pavia, for example, was featured prominently in the SEC series despite the Commodores not contending for the SEC title or a playoff bid. LSU's Brian Kelly and South Carolina's Shane Beamer — two of the sport's most outspoken coaches — also made several lengthy appearances in the series. So the series didn't spend much time on the electric atmosphere at Neyland Stadium, which typically demonstrates the crazy passion of SEC football. Netflix certainly had an opportunity to do that, as its crew was on hand for UT's 23-17 overtime win over rival Florida amid a sellout crowd of 101,915 that checkered Neyland Stadium in orange and white. Instead, that game was told from the Florida perspective, specifically the quarterback competition between Graham Mertz and DJ Lagway. Tennessee's 1998 national title team made a cameo In episode 1, during a portion on South Carolina, past national champions are mentioned to demonstrate how difficult it is for the Gamecocks to compete in the SEC. A photo of former UT coach Phillip Fulmer holding the 1998 national title trophy is featured. reporter Andy Staples lists Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, Auburn and LSU as examples of 'superpowers of the SEC.' Why Josh Heupel says so much about the Ohio State game Heupel gave a one-hour interview to Netflix in January. He talked candidly about the ups and downs of the 2024 season. Heupel beat his alma mater Oklahoma in an emotional game in September, just four months after his mother died. And he led the Vols to a field-storming victory over rival Alabama and their first playoff berth. But most of that interview didn't make the final cut. Instead, Heupel's comments about the Ohio State game wrapped up UT's portion of the series. Perhaps the Vols will be featured more if Netflix produces a second season of the SEC series.
