Watch as the Star of ‘Murderbot' Finally, Begrudgingly Learns How to Speak Human
In episode six, we saw Murderbot abruptly eliminate the 'hostile' who was only pretending to be the sole survivor of a mysterious attack on another human team surveying the same far-flung but apparently not so deserted planet (RIP, Leebeebee, you boundary-pushing backstabber). It had no choice, really, but the sudden burst of violence was a startling display for the gentle souls hailing from Preservation Alliance.
In this week's episode, 'Complementary Species,' the group realizes the manufactured habitat they've been calling home is no longer safe, so they gather up their things and prepare to go into hiding. But as you'll see in this clip, they're dilly-dallying a bit, so Murderbot—who they're still newly afraid of following the Leebeebee thing—offers encouragement both stern and soft. Well, soft-er, anyway.
Find out what happens next when Murderbot episode seven arrives Friday, June 20 on Apple TV+.

‘Angry' Martin Scorsese wanted to use a gun and steal ‘Taxi Driver' rough cut from Columbia Pictures
You talkin' to him? Martin Scorsese, 82, said he nearly threatened the movie studio over a disagreement about his 1976 classic 'Taxi Driver.' In a first-look clip from the October Apple TV+ documentary 'Mr. Scorsese,' the legendary director opened up to Steven Spielberg about how Columbia Pictures was allegedly anxious about the movie's disturbing content, and wanted him to cut some key materials.

When asked what he planned to do with a gun, Scorsese explained, 'I don't know. I was angry. I said I was going to threaten them… I'll maybe just shoot or something. I had no idea.' 'The Wolf of Wall Street' director added, 'I mean, I was just threatening. What I wanted to do, and not with a gun, I would go in, find out where the rough cut is, and break the windows and take it away.

'Taxi Driver,' which follows the deteriorating mental state of former Vietnam War vet turned taxi driver Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), went on to earn a 'Best Picture' Oscar nomination.

Skydance's Paramount Lands UFC Rights in $7.7 Billion Deal
Skydance's Paramount has struck a seven-year, $7.7 billion deal with TKO Group for exclusive media rights for all Ultimate Fighting Championship matches in the U.S. starting next year, the companies said. Under the terms, the Paramount+ streaming service will carry UFC's slate of 13 marquee events and will also have rights to 30 'Fight Nights.' In addition, Paramount can simulcast some fights on its sister broadcast network CBS on Saturday nights.

What About Jobs? The Agency That Should Know Is on the Rocks The pact gives TKO's UFC a significant pay increase over the organization's current agreement with Disney's ESPN. Paramount is paying an average of $1.1 billion a year, while Disney's deal was valued at $550 million annually. The jump in fees shows the popularity of the mixed martial arts sport. The deal is the latest between a sports organization and media company seeking live events to stream and broadcast, a valuable attraction for subscribers. The deal also moves UFC away from the pay-per-view model that was an element of the ESPN accord. The agreement comes days after Skydance closed on its acquisition of Paramount, though talks between Paramount and UFC preceded the acquisition. 'Now everyone knows why I was at so many UFC events,' Paramount Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David Ellison joked in an interview. Ellison attended a UFC fight that President Trump was also at in April in Miami, and last year went to a bout at the Sphere in Las Vegas. TKO President and Chief Operating Officer Mark Shapiro said the company was attracted to the opportunity to show UFC on CBS, along with Paramount's willingness to abandon pay-per-view. 'If we can get with a partner that is going to put us front and center and not charge extra to get our most premium content that is a game changer,' Shapiro said. Content such as UFC, which is year-round, is seen as crucial for streamers such as Paramount+ in their fight to reduce subscriber churn. 'We believe it will meaningfully drive engagement, revenue growth and subscription acquisitions,' Ellison said. Paramount indicated it also intends to pursue international rights for UFC content as that becomes available in the coming years. Ellison said he hopes the deal signals to the industry and Paramount that 'you can't cut to grow' and that the company will meaningfully invest in content that can boost its platforms. Talks with Paramount began in earnest in early June after TKO's exclusive negotiating window with ESPN expired. There were other bidders as well, both parties said. ESPN last week signed a deal for premium content from TKO's World Wrestling Entertainment valued at $1.6 billion over five years which might help fill some of the void from losing UFC. For TKO, the deals with Paramount and ESPN, along with last year's 10-year pact with Netflix for WWE's 'Raw,' valued at $5 billion, has the nearly two-year-old company feeling like it is on a winning streak. 'There are a lot of people who pooh-poohed us when we bought the UFC and merged with WWE. We have made these deals in a very competitive environment, and they have come out extremely well,' said TKO Executive Chairman and CEO Ari Emanuel.
