    Tubi may not have the same name recognition as Netflix or Hulu, but the streamer continues to offer original content, with several recent programs targeting younger viewers.

    That's the case with "Kissing Is the Easy Part," an adaptation of a romance novel by Christine Duann. The film stars Paris Berelc and Asher Angel, who both chat with co-host Bruce Miller about the film.

    "Melania" is less traditional documentary and more brand rollout, much like what you'd get at a fashion show.

    While the movie takes a guarded approach and doesn't get too deep into First Lady Melania Trump's backstory, there is still something to be learned.

    Like the current state of politics, the film has been polarizing. Reviews from traditional film critics have largely been negative, but moviegoers have pra...

    The Golden Globes honor both film and television, but network TV shows have largely been excluded from major awards in recent years.

    "Abbott Elementary" remains a rare network contender versus streaming giants like HBO, Netflix and Apple TV. Although ultimately overlooked, it was the only network nominee for Best Television Series in the drama, musical or comedy, or limited series categories.

    Rose Byrne could be someone to watch for best actress thanks to a strong effort in "If I Had Leg's I'd Kick You."
