Max Announces Classic Film Expansion On The TCM Hub
Max Will Add And Spotlight Remastered Classics, Timeless Films, And Nostalgic Picks Each Month Throughout 2025

On Dec. 6, Max announced an expansion to the Turner Classic Movies (TCM) hub initiative in the U.S., which will add new classic movies showcased in bespoke curations throughout 2025. Quintessential TCM titles are now available to stream with hundreds of new titles and monthly stunts rolling out on the streaming platform beginning this December.

“At Max, we pride ourselves on our strong dedication to a robust library of fan favorite and classic films,” said Royce Battleman, Executive Vice President, Content Acquisitions, Warner Bros. Discovery. “Our latest expansion of TCM titles brings in even more timeless stories and invites viewers to relish in iconic cinematic moments on the platform.”

Showcasing TCM’s acclaimed films alongside a rich collection of titles from Warner Bros. Pictures, The Criterion Collection, A24, Studio Ghibli, and more, further cement Max as the one to watch on movie night.

The TCM page on Max will include themed selections of carefully curated classic films in celebration of fan-favorite actors, significant milestones, award-winning masterpieces, and much more. These curational moments will be updated in the hub monthly and will offer audiences an additional way to discover and explore timeless classics. In addition to the hub on Max, these classic films will also be available for fans to enjoy on the TCM linear channel.

“By bolstering TCM’s footprint on Max, we are giving fans another platform to experience what they’ve come to expect from TCM – an evolving roster of celebrated films featuring Hollywood legends,” said Michael Ouweleen, President of Turner Classic Movies.

The TCM hub expansion kicked off this month by highlighting legendary Mickey Rooney films such as Oscar®-winning hit “National Velvet” (1944) and “Words and Music” (1948). In addition, Humphrey Bogart’s 125th birthday is bringing hits like “Key Largo” (1948), “Invisible Stripes” (1939) and “It All Came True” (1940) to streaming.

January’s TCM spotlight commemorates Cary Grant’s birthday with “My Favorite Wife” (1940) and “Destination Tokyo” (1943) and recognizes George Raft titles such as “Each Dawn I Die” (1939) and “Red Light” (1949).

In February, the 31 Days of Oscars collection will center around Oscar®-winning titles including “The Harvey Girls” (1946), “Jezebel” (1938), “Mildred Pierce” (1945), “Neptune's Daughter” (1949), alongside Elizabeth Taylor’s birthday curation including “The Last Time I Saw Paris” (1954) and others from the renowned actress.

The list continues with noteworthy films like “Kid Galahad” (1937), “The Two Mrs. Carrolls” (1947), “The Return of Doctor X” (1939), along with “They Drive by Night” (1940) which will be celebrating its 85th anniversary. Additional stunts for the remainder of 2025 will be announced in the coming months.

The Santa Clara District Attorney's Office on Thursday filed a civil enforcement action case against three county-run hospitals for improperly disposing hazardous medical waste including bodily fluids and drugs. In a press conference announcing the litigation, District Attorney Jeff Rosen said medical dumping violates state law.

"The county must stop illegally dumping hazardous waste and untreated medical waste. The county must stop illegally dumping dangerous drugs," Rosen said. "The county must stop illegally dumping human blood and human flesh." The hospitals are accused of mixing medical waste -- including human tissue and blood -- and narcotics like fentanyl with regular garbage. State law requires hospitals to incinerate or sterilize contaminated trash at high temperatures.

Authorities also said confidential patient information was included in the improperly disposed of materials.

The DA's office partnered with the Department of Toxic Substance Control to uncover three different locations where the materials were improperly dumped. The facilities are Valley Medical Center and O'Connor Medical Center in San Jose and St. Louise Regional Hospital in Gilroy.

"Former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz is expected to announce he is joining One America News Network as an anchor," CNN's Kristen Holmes scooped last night, citing a source. OANN lacks distribution and big-name hosts, so Gaetz will be a big gain, although he may feel like he's shouting into the void, given the channel's small audience.

>> When I called OANN president Charles Herring last night, he declined to comment on Gaetz's hiring, but a quick search of the channel's website showed a "coming soon" page for "The Matt Gaetz Show..."
