‘The Not Too Late Show With Elmo’ on HBO Max: TV Review

Ever since Zack Snyder made the announcement that his much-hype cut of “Justice League” was going to be released on HBO Max in 2021, a certain contingent of fandom has seen their years-long battle as the first win in an overall war with studios. Fans are now rallying around folks like David Ayer in hopes that his cut of “Suicide Squad” will be released by HBO Max, as well as any other disputed version of a film that fans feel was interfered with by evil studio bosses.

The Late Late Show with James Corden was appropriately somber on Monday night (June 1) in the midst of the Black Lives Matter protests happening across America in response to the death of George Floyd.After opening the show with an impassioned plea for viewers to "focus on the message of the protestors who voices that need to be heard right now," host James Corden checked in with Late Late Show bandleader Reggie Watts via satellite.During the chat, Watts, who is half Black, touched on the overt

And with that, a new streaming platform has entered the ring. HBO Max finally launched after the much-talked-about announcement that they’ll soon release the anticipated Snyder Cut of “Justice League,” “Friends,” every Studio Ghibli movie, and thousands of other titles.

Laura Benanti and HBO Max will give high school students from around the chance to perform in a pandemic-proof musical with the newly announced special “Homeschool Musical: Class of 2020.”

Lil Nas X stopped by Sesame Street on Thursday (May 28) to be a guest on The Not-Too-Late Show With Elmo.

Elmo has called in the heavy hitters for the launch of his new talk show.

HBO Max is officially the future home of “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” aka The Snyder Cut. The film (TV miniseries?) is expected to arrive in 2021 and has been described by the filmmaker as a massive redo of the superhero film that flopped at the box office and failed to excite fans back in 2017.

One thing that’s instantly striking about HBO Max’s rom-com anthology series “Love Life” is the exacting period detail for each year of the 2010s it depicts. When the show declares an episode is set in 2012, the iPhones and text messages actually look like they did in that exact year.

The TARDIS has found a new home. If you're looking to binge Doctor Who -- whether it's your first time or your 500th — you can now find the series on HBO Max.

WarnerMedia officially enters the streaming wars with the launch of its platform, HBO Max, which includes 10,000 hours worth of content thanks to a mix of originals — an Amy Schumer docuseries, Anna Kendrick’s, the reality competition series — and a deep library of fan favorites, such as and, as well as all of HBO’s award-winning series. 

For me, HBO Max's The Not Too Late Show With Elmo starts off with a major strike against it. Who on Earth thought it was a good idea to give Elmo a talk show and make Cookie Monster his sidekick? In human terms, it's as if somebody gave Dane Cook a talk show and then said, "Oh, and by the way, Steve Martin will be his sidekick" — a situation to which my primary response would be, "Reverse those two and you have my attention, but it's still probably too much Dane Cook." I simply resent Elmo.

Drew Dixon, 50, is one of the central voices who appears in HBO Max’s new powerful documentary, On The Record. The former Def Jam executive is one of several women to have publicly accused hip-hop music pioneer, Russell Simmons, 62, of sexual assault.
