Returning action show with "close-shave thrills" drops new episodes on Netflix today
Action comedy series FUBAR has returned on Netflix with new episodes.
The series, which stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, follows a CIA agent who learns that his adult daughter is also secretly working for the CIA, before they are paired up for an undercover mission.
Two years after the first season debuted, the second has dropped all eight episodes as of today.
Alongside Schwarzenegger, the series features A Complete Unknown's Monica Barbaro, as well as Warped!'s Milan Carter, The Mindy Project's Fortune Feimster, and You's Travis Van Winkle.
After its debut, FUBAR was quickly renewed for a second season, having attracted big viewing figures of 88.94 million hours in its first four days of release.

Speaking after the renewal news, Schwarzenegger said on social media: "It was really interesting how many of the fans loved the last episode. Because the interesting thing is, it is also my favourite episode. I don't want to give it away, but there is some really wild stuff and it really sets it up for the next season."
The first season of the show garnered a more mixed reception with critics, however, earning a 50% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes from 58 reviews.
"This is a fun, fundamentally unserious save-the-world romp with close-shave thrills, nonsensical plots and breezy comic relief. But that's it and that's all," wrote the Financial Times.

The Evening Standard added: "It's fairly standard fare which is a perfectly acceptable vehicle for Arnie coming back, but which also feels a little bit like a wasted opportunity."
In a more scathing review, USA Today called the show an "embarrassment", adding: "The series is all cliché, followed by painful cringe and then rounded out by dumbfounded confusion. There are humans talking, but I don't believe humans wrote the dialogue."
FUBAR seasons 1-2 are streaming now on Netflix.

Democrats Cheer Hollywood Tax Breaks They Once Called ‘Corporate Welfare'
Time was running out to pass new California bills in 2005 when a power broker in the State Capitol got a request from the action movie star in the governor's office. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted lawmakers to give Hollywood studios $50 million in tax breaks to help prevent the movie industry from leaving. But Democrats preferred to restore funding that had been cut from schools and support for disabled people. Republicans in the governor's own party objected to the notion of assisting one industry over others. The effort fell flat, as did similar proposals over the next few years. Among many Democrats, said Fabian Núñez, who was the speaker of the California Assembly at the time, the thinking about Mr. Schwarzenegger's plan went: 'Why does he want to give corporate welfare to rich people? That doesn't make any sense.' Times have certainly changed. California lawmakers, most of them Democrats, approved a budget on Friday that includes $750 million to subsidize movie and television production, doubling the size of the state's incentive program while making cuts elsewhere to help close its $12 billion deficit. A bill to make the tax credits available to more types of productions is expected to be approved in the coming days. Some economists object to film subsidies, saying they are a poor financial investment for states, while proponents say they are necessary to slow an exodus of productions. Over the past 10 years, production in Los Angeles has decreased by more than one-third, according to FilmLA data. One Hollywood studio is flying Americans to Ireland to film a game show, and 'The Substance,' a best picture nominee, was filmed in France even though it is set in Los Angeles. 'Expanding this program will help keep production here at home, generate thousands of good paying jobs and strengthen the vital link between our communities and the state's iconic film and TV industry,' Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, said in October when he announced his plan to increase the tax breaks. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Shares Real Thoughts on Son's Relationship With Miley Cyrus
Arnold Schwarzenegger Shares Real Thoughts on Son's Relationship With Miley Cyrus originally appeared on Parade. Arnold Schwarzenegger looked back at his son Patrick Schwarzenegger's brief romance with Miley Cyrus, revealing what he actually thought about the relationship. 'The best was that she's a wonderful, wonderful girl and human being. Very, very talented," Arnold, 77, said when asked about Cyrus, 32, during the Monday, June 23, episode of Watch What Happens LiveWith Andy Cohen. "She came up to Sun Valley when we were skiing up there and she was just such a wonderful houseguest and everything like that.' Cyrus and Patrick, 31, were romantically involved between 2014 and 2015. He has since moved on with his fiancée, Abby Champion, while Cyrus has been in a relationship with Maxx Morando since 2021.

'I'm sorry it didn't work out. But Patrick, in the meantime, found another girl that he got engaged with and he's getting married to in September.' There's no denying that Patrick is head over heels for Champion, 28, whom he first started dating in 2015. In February, the White Lotus star revealed to People that he knew Champion was the one when he saw "how much she values family and how similar our core values are." "Over the course of the years, I just continuously fell in love with her more and more, with the kind of human that she was becoming and that the relationship was becoming," he said about his partner. As for Miley, she has chosen to keep her relationship with Maxx, 26, mostly out of the spotlight. However, she recently opened up about their age gap while appearing on the June 19 episode of the "Sorry We're Cyrus" podcast. "He will be 27 when I turn 33," she told sister Brandi Cyrus. "Which I'm so excited for him to turn 27 'cause that was such a great year for me." Miley, who was once known for her wild lifestyle, continued, "I'm just hoping that, as long as he follows in my footsteps, everything is going to be great. That's right when I started turning my life around."

14 real-life F1 drivers that make cameos in F1: The Movie
The newest sports movie, F1: The Movie, hits theaters this week as Brad Pitt gets behind the wheel of one of the fastest cars on the track. Directed by Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski, F1 tells the story of Sonny Hayes (Pitt) and his return to the sport after decades of trying to find his way in the world. As Hayes tries to navigate his new APX GP team alongside hot shot rookie Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), challenges arrive in technical, personal and physical ways. It's a high speed look at an already dramatic sport, and Apple collaborated closely with the real-life F1 league to make it all work. That means a lot of the biggest names in the sport were in the movie as themselves. Not only was Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton in F1: The Movie, but the talented driver was also a producer. Here are some of the real-life F1 drivers that appeared as themselves in the movie: Early reviews for F1: The Movie are fantastic, with the audience score sitting at 97% on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of publish.
