Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

The rest of the Friends have started following Matt LeBlanc’s lead and releasing tributes to Matthew Perry:

Courteney Cox shared a favorite behind-the-scenes moment from an iconic scene:

Jennifer Aniston shared a tribute to her “little brother.”

And David Schwimmer remembers Perry’s “impeccable comic timing and delivery.”

Listen, I’m not judging how anyone grieves, but Lisa Kudrow’s people need to be shaken awake because this train is leaving without her.

Welp, Warner Bros. Discovery and David Zaslav fucked around and are finding out: now Texas Congressman Joaquin Castro has questions about whether scrapping fully-completed films for tax benefits is predatory and violates anti-trust laws.

As the Justice Department and @FTC revise their antitrust guidelines they should review this conduct.

As someone remarked, it’s like burning down a building for the insurance money. https://t.co/Vb8vj3brD7

The A.V. Club has some gift ideas for the TV lover in your life. I strongly recommend going to the networks’ shop sites directly and checking out the goods: Netflix, HBO, Hulu, NBC, ABC, CBS, FX, AMC, Showtime … they all have online stores.

Now that the strike is over, Mike Flanagan has posted a bunch of behind the scenes photos from The Fall of the House of Usher, including one that reveals that there is a Ouija: Origin of Evil easter egg in episode one:
