FEBRUARY 25 – CRY MACHO *Movie Premiere*
- Starring, directed, and produced by Clint Eastwood, CRY MACHO is an uplifting and poignant drama that tells the story of Mike Milo, a one-time rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder who, in 1979, takes a job from an ex-boss to bring the man’s young son home from Mexico. Forced to take the backroads on their way to Texas, the unlikely pair faces an unexpectedly challenging journey, during which the world-weary horseman finds unexpected connections, and his own sense of redemption.
FEBRUARY 27 – SHOWTIME’s SUPER PUMPED *Series Premiere*
- Based on Mike Isaac’s bestselling book of the same name, SUPER PUMPED: THE BATTLE FOR UBER, is the first installment of SHOWTIME’s new anthology series in which each season explores a story that rocked the business world to its core, and changed culture. Starring Emmy®-winner Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Trial of the Chicago 7), Uma Thurman (Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction), and Kyle Chandler (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS), SUPER PUMPED: THE BATTLE FOR UBER is narrated by Quentin Tarantino, and tells the story of one of Silicon Valley’s most successful and most destructive unicorns, Uber. The series depicts the roller-coaster ride of the upstart transportation company, embodying the highs and lows of Silicon Valley. Even amid the radical upheaval generated within the global tech capital, Uber stands out as both a marvel and a cautionary tale, featuring internal and external battles that ripple with unpredictable consequences. The series follows a weekly release schedule with new episodes dropping Sundays.
FEBRUARY 28 – HBO’s MY BRILLIANT FRIEND: THOSE WHO LEAVE AND THOSE WHO STAY *Season 3 Premiere*
- Based on the third book in Elena Ferrante’s best-selling quadrilogy, Season 3 of HBO’s MY BRILLIANT FRIEND premieres Monday, Feb. 28 at 10 p.m. ET. Filmed in Italian and starring Margherita Mazzucco and Gaia Girace, Season 3 picks up with Elena and Lila, both now grown women, during the great open sea of the 1970s. Lila took her young son and left her husband and a comfortable life to work as a factory worker in the toughest of conditions, while Elena left the neighborhood to study in Pisa, and is now an author of a successful novel that has paved the way to an affluent and cultivated world. They now navigate a scenario of hopes and uncertainties, still united by their strong and ambivalent bond. MY BRILLIANT FRIEND: THOSE WHO LEAVE AND THOSE WHO STAY follows a weekly release schedule with new episodes streaming Mondays at 10 p.m. ET.
