T.J. Miller has work lined up outside the bounds of Silicon Valley. The comedian has announced that he’ll be hitting the road this summer for a new stand-up tour. The Meticulously Ridiculous Tour begins August 18 and includes 20 stops, reports Deadline. The final tour stop will bring him to Denver, where he will tape an hourlong HBO special produced by Funny or Die.

The Silicon Valley actor will bring his comedic chops to cities across the United States, including Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, and more. As the title implies, fans can expect the ridiculous when Miller takes the stage. He won’t be the only entertainer in the show, though. His wife, Kate Miller, a performer and mixed-media artist, and comedian Nick Vatterott will be part of the tour as well.

Miller is well known for starring in HBO’s critically acclaimed comedy series Silicon Valley, which centers on a group of startup founders in the tech hotbed. He has also made audiences laugh as Weasel in Marvel’s recent hit Deadpool, in which he starred alongside Ryan Reynolds, not to mention films like Big Hero 6, How to Train Your Dragon, and Transformers: Age of Extinction. His tour is just one of several upcoming projects, including playing the lead in Emojimovie: Express Yourself and ongoing work on Silicon Valley, which has been renewed for a fourth season.

The comedian, who is a Second City alum, has toured nationally in the past and previously made an hourlong stand-up special for Comedy Central. Called No Real Reason, the special aired in late 2011. He also currently hosts the podcast Cashing in with T.J. Miller.

Miller’s tour will be about a month long, running from August 18 to September 16.

Gru points a giant laser in Despicable Me 4.

The calendar has turned to November, and our list of the best movies to stream on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Max (HBO), and other services is decidedly less spooky this week. You can still catch up on plenty of new horror flicks and thrillers, but the majority of this week's new additions are for the whole family.

This week, six new films join the list, including kids movies Despicable Me 4 and Harold and the Purple Crayon, documentaries Martha and Music by John Williams, and much more.
We also have guides to the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+.

What’s new on Paramount+ in November 2024
Billy Bob Thornton in Landman.

Paramount+ may have launched Taylor Sheridan's Lioness season 2 at the end of October, but it also has a new Sheridan-created series coming in November as well. Like many of Sheridan's recent shows, Landman boasts an impressive cast that includes Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, Andy Garcia, Michael Peña, and more. But instead of focusing on the drama surrounding ranching like Yellowstone, Landman is shifting the focus to an oil company in Texas.

Showtime is also dropping a prominent new original series, The Agency, which features Michael Fassbender as a CIA operative named Martin who tries to figure out his identity after spending years on an undercover assignment. But only Paramount+ with Showtime subscribers can stream The Agency. And that's true of a lot of the latest movie additions as well. Showtime tends to get the A-list titles, and Paramount+'s lower tiers get everything else.

What’s new on HBO and Max in November 2024

The selection of new movies coming to HBO and Max in November is so thin that you could be forgiven if you accidentally mistook it for the lineup heading to Disney+. Twenty-three films are going to Max on November 1, which is well below the number that usually heads to streamers each month. That total includes the perquisite Christmas movies, many of which are also streaming on Hulu this holiday season.

So for films, November's a wash for Max. Thankfully, HBO's original programming, including Dune: Prophecy, Like Water for Chocolate, and a few new documentaries, makes Max worthwhile. Sports lovers also have the option to stream some NHL and NBA games, as well as cycling and "endurance car racing."
