Max announces programming coming to the platform this December, including the HBO Original comedy special LEO REICH: LITERALLY WHO CARES?! (12/16), the comedian's first solo stand-up special debuts this December. Following rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and an Off-Broadway run, this self-diagnosed important young mind faces the swirling uncertainty of our collective future, asking the big questions, such as: "Is this helping?", "Am I hot?", and "No offense guys but literally what is going on?" Treading the line between hilarious stand-up and humorless performance art, the special blends songs, anecdotes, and anxious non-sequiturs in a valiant attempt to raise awareness about important social and political causes... or something. The special from A24 was taped at EartH in London.
In the Max Original comedy special GARY GULMAN: BORN ON 3RD BASE (12/21), comedian, actor, and best-selling author Gary Gulman (HBO's "The Great Depresh") offers up his hilarious insights on a range of topics - from growing up poor to pretentious suffixes - all with a generous helping of his inventive humor and absurdism. Reflecting on his eccentric Jewish American family, Gulman chronicles his childhood experiences with free school lunch programs and questionable dental care, as well as incisive swipes at billionaire-ism. With thoughtfulness and empathy, the special sheds light on the performer's unique point-of-view on both lighthearted and serious subjects.
The HBO Original three-part documentary series MURDER IN BOSTON: ROOTS, RAMPAGE & RECKONING (12/4), produced and directed by Jason Hehir ("The Last Dance," HBO's "Andre The Giant"), and produced in association with The
Boston Globe, explores the decades-old racial tensions and brutal targeting amidst a media firestorm that ensued following an investigation stemming from Charles "
Chuck" Stuart's 911 call reporting that he and his pregnant wife, Carol, a white couple, had been shot by a
Black man in Boston's Mission Hill neighborhood in 1989. The series chronicles the complex history of race-based hostilities in the city and the enduring, painful toll the case has had on the families involved, on
Boston race relations, and how a community can be brutalized in a rush to justice.
The Max Original documentary OPRAH AND THE COLOR PURPLE JOURNEY (12/28) provides a behind-the-scenes look into the making of the upcoming feature film "The
Color Purple," a bold new take on the classic, and the impact the story has had on our culture. Oprah Winfrey takes viewers inside the four-decade phenomenon, exploring the importance of the novel, films and musical, and the ever-evolving conversation around this seminal work.
As the clock counts down to the dawn of the 21st century, the world faces the largest potential technological disaster to ever threaten humanity. The problem is comically simple yet incredibly complex - a bug that could cause computers to misinterpret the year 2000 as 1900, sowing chaos throughout the world as electronic systems failed. Crafted entirely through archival footage, TIME BOMB Y2K (12/30) is a prescient and often humorous tale about the power and vulnerabilities of technology. By re-appraising both the cooperative efforts and mass hysteria surrounding this millennial milestone, this film explores how modern life has been dramatically transformed by the digital revolution.
This December brings the season finales of the Max Original comedy series BOOKIE (12/21), from Emmy(R)-nominated creator Chuck Lorre ("The
Big Bang Theory") and Nick Bakay, JULIA (12/21), starring
Sarah Lancashire as the rising celebrity chef, and RAP SH!T (12/21), following two estranged high school friends from Miami who reunite to form a rap group. Additionally, the season two finales of the HBO Original drama series THE GILDED AGE (12/17), from creator Julian Fellowes ("Downton Abbey"), and 30 COINS (12/11), following a remote town in Spain plagued by inexplicable, demonic events.
