Exclusive: Paula Abdul is among an ensemble cast for a feature-length podcast from Steven Jay Rubin (Bleacher Bums), Billy Riback (Home Improvement) and stand-up comic Bruce Smirnoff.
The American Idol star is starring in Spacemen From Planet Judy alongside Phil Hendrie (Rick and Morty), Hal Rudnick (Reno 911), John Mariano (The Offer) and Eric Waddell (Funny You Should Ask).
It begins when all of Earth’s gay males, and two straight men dressed in drag because there was a mix-up in their Halloween costumes, are abducted to the distant planet Judy (named after Judy Garland), the gay haven world of the universe, where they will live in freedom without oppression.
Inadvertently kidnapped, bumbling information technology specialists Mitch (Hendrie) and Lenny (Rudnick) find themselves on an exotic world of constant partying, mingling and cuddling, all run by the Golden Ram Man (Mariano), a mad tyrant who abhors insubordination and seeded grapes.

"The Truman Show" is a movie so high-concept that its title has become a colloquialism. The lead Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey) discovers that his life as he's known it for his 30 years is a lie. His hometown of Seahaven Island is contained within a dome, outfitted with complex camera and sound systems that document his life day-in-day-out. All of the town, his friends and family, acquaintances and strangers alike, are paid actors. What's the purpose? Truman is the star of the world's favorite TV program — The Truman Show.
Truman has an inkling something is wrong and this grows throughout the film. Despite the efforts of the show's crew and cast, he manages to escape the eye of the cameras and sets sail for the dome's border. The show's creator Christof (Ed Harris) attempts to convince Truman to stay, but his star takes a bow and walks out to an uncertain,...

WarnerMedia OneFifty and HBO Max have partnered to acquire the independent feature “This Is Not a War Story” from director Talia Lugacy and executive producer Rosario Dawson.
Lugacy wrote, directed, edited, produced and starred in the film, which also features Sam Adegoke, Danny Ramirez, Brian Delate and Frances Fisher. According to a description for the project, “This Is Not a War Story” tracks a ragtag group of combat veterans in New York whose anti-war art, poetry and paper-making keep them together, despite the specter of their friend’s suicide and the ever-crystalizing fact that healing from war is sometimes an impossible mission.
The movie will debut in November, released both in theaters and streaming on HBO Max, with special events in the works organized in partnership with OneFifty collaborators and veterans’ organizations.
