Chris Hemsworth Is ‘Thinking Out Loud' as Ed Sheeran's Drummer in ‘Limitless' Trailer
'When the bass starts, the piano, the guitar, everything hits at the same time,' Hemsworth says in the preview for the episode titled 'Brain Power,' which premieres Aug. 15 on Disney+ and Hulu and Aug. 25 on National Geographic. 'And if I'm off, it's all off.'

When the song kicks off, he's in the zone. Sheeran gives him a nod of confidence and the crowd keeps the energy up. 'I look around, and Ed's still relaxed. I'm like, just make sure you're concentrating on what you're doing,' he says. 'I'm encouraging and welcoming the adrenaline at this point.' Hemsworth feels some nerves come to the surface when it's time to hit the pre-chorus, but manages to push them away.
'Basically what happened is Chris emailed me last December saying he was doing a documentary on cognitive health and the benefits of learning an instrument,' Sheeran explained backstage in a video he posted on Instagram before the August 2024 concert. 'He came to visit me, and he has learned drums. So he's going to come onstage in front of 70,000 [people].'
Elsewhere in the series, Hemsworth also conquers the Swiss Alps and training with special forces. 'Working on LIMITLESS was an eye-opening experience that allowed me to reflect on my strengths, vulnerabilities and all the ways in which we as humans can plan toward longevity,' Hemsworth said in a press release last year. 'For this next season, we are attempting to raise the bar and go even deeper in this exploration alongside health and wellness experts from around the globe.'

'Only Murders In The Building' S5 Trailer Just Dropped And It Hints At A Massive Plot Twist
Only Murders In The Building season five is set to premiere on September 9, yet luckily for fans of the show, a trailer for the upcoming fifth season was released on August 12. The two-and-a-half-minute sneak peak features the show's protagonists Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short) and Mabel (Selena Gomez) as they pull up their sleeves to solve the mystery of the latest murder: the death of the building's doorman, Lester (Teddy Coluca). The beloved doorman was killed off at the end of season four, and his death is thought to be connected to a prolific New York City mobster, who he was spotted with on the night of his death. As per Hulu's logline, the premise is as follows: 'After Lester dies under suspicious circumstances, Charles, Oliver, and Mabel refuse to believe it was an accident. Their investigation plunges them into the shadowy corners of New York and beyond — where the trio uncovers a dangerous web of secrets connecting powerful billionaires, old-school mobsters, and the mysterious residents of the Arconia. The trio discovers a deeper divide between their storied city they thought they knew and the new New York evolving around them — one where the old mob fights to hold on as newer, even more dangerous players emerge.' Returning alongside the trio is Michael Cyril Creighton (Howard), Meryl Streep (Loretta), Richard Kind (Vince), Nathan Lane (Teddy), Téa Leoni (Sofia), and Da'Vine Joy Randolph (Detective Donna). Besides the usual familiar faces, new season is set to boast a number of newcomers including Logan Lerman, Bobby Cannavale, Beanie Feldstein, Jermaine Fowler, Keegan-Michael Key, Christoph Waltz, Dianne Wiest, Renée Zellweger, as seen in the trailer.

24 Hilarious Gumball Moments That Adults Will Love
As someone who grew up on ridiculous kids shows like SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly OddParents, and Chowder, my sense of humor is geared in a particular direction. When I saw The Amazing World of Gumball was streaming on Disney+, I thought: What the heck, I'll give it a shot. And, oh, man, I wish this show were around when I was a kid. After almost seven years, the show has returned under the name The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball. New name, same wild antics. Here are 26 moments from The Amazing World Of Gumball that got a legit laugh out of me: The Gumball creators love a good car crash gag, and that is still alive and well in Season 7. I immediately knew I was in good hands with this scene where Gumball's dad goes to retrieve a burger in the street and the situation quickly escalates. Gumball's mom becoming an anime fighter in one frame Speaking of frames, this was Gumball's immediate reaction to his mom saying, "Gumball, the phone, please." The older seasons have plenty of classic moments. That time Gumball offered a and awkward, secret handshake with Principal Brown. From the silence to the noises, it is my kind of humor. When Gumball and Darwin used unconventional teamwork to make their sandwich. Their pompous laugh afterward sent me. When Jamie Russo opened up Gone with the Wind, thinking it would be literal wind, but instead was Clark Gable as Rhett Butler saying, "You should be kissed and often by someone who knows how." There couldn't have been a funnier line for that moment. Also, Jamie taking wayyy too long to read the paper compared to Anais is wayyy too relatable and hilarious. (I'm Jamie) Gumball trying to join the swim club and just straight up drowning because he can't swim had me dying. The hard cut to his blurry vision was too much. Forgetting people's names is hard, and Gumball trying to remember this blue guy's name had me cackling. Everything about the paintball outing was iconic. Gumball having to leave a man behind was too much. The distant paint explosion was icing on the cake. Speaking of fighting, sometimes role play can go too far. Gumball and Darwin playing with their food got way too dark. This is a kid's show, right? Being a dad is hard. Being a dad and trying to talk to your daughter is its own challenge. Mr. Watterson, having an internal crisis on trying to "say the right thing!" to his daughter, was expertly done. What the hell was this "Sussie Song" even supposed to be? This show is so unhinged. Simply, the hard cut to this reaction. Gumball's vision for the play is every kid who loves them some action. From Indiana Jones to The Avengers to Mortal Kombat, the lad has vision! Gumball giving CPR to the gaming system and blowing on the cartridge was brilliant. Maybe the most clever joke in a show stacked to the brim with them. Gaylord Robinson violating international peace agreements and going back to jail was a whole experience. MAKE IT RAIN! (Making it rain with a check is brilliant) Darwin tells Gumball to "make a wallet sound" and proceeds to deliver the most Pokémon-like wallet sound ever. Also, both Darwin and Gumball picking the worst hiding spot possible, and Darwin proceeding to add a second bus stop is my kind of ridiculousness. "It's the glass ceiling Mom was talking about!" When the parents hijacked the school bus, and Tobias's dad was speaking with a voice changer, only for it to fizzle out and reveal his deep voice. The entire imaginary fight was a blast, but the eerie handoff of the plasma grenade from Tobias had me floored. "We gotta go. It's getting dark out." *Hard cut to a perfectly sunny afternoon* "What's the surprise?" *the tiniest boo* And lastly, and probably most popular, "Do you mind if I put a poster in the window?" What is your favorite Gumball moment? Comment below! Watch S1–6 on Disney+ and S7 on Hulu.

Summer Movies in New York Swerve Into Horror
Fresh Scares When it comes to the horror movie of the summer, my vote is for 'Weapons,' Zach Cregger's loony supernatural opus about the mysterious disappearance of 17 children from a single classroom. But on those days when a walk to the movie theater doesn't appeal, I suggest parking yourself on the couch for a double feature of small but mighty new indies: the vampire cautionary tale 'Bleeding' (on demand) and the psychological thriller 'Sharp Corner' (streaming on Hulu), starring a terrific Ben Foster as a paranoid dad. Consider me excited for Scary Movies, the Film at Lincoln Center salute to genre cinema that's back after a five-year hiatus (Aug. 15-21). Among the new releases and rediscoveries, I'm especially stoked for the opening night pick 'It Ends,' a low-fi, sci-fi Gen Z thriller; 'Good Boy,' a paranormal drama told from a dog's point of view; and the closing night film, 'The Dark and the Wicked,' an under-the-radar possession drama from 2020 starring a mesmerizing Marin Ireland. A Classic Revisited Aug. 18 is Texas Chain Saw Day, when multiplexes across the country will show 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,' Tobe Hooper's game-changing shocker, the way it should be seen: in a room full of screaming strangers. (The film takes place on Aug. 18, 1973.) Screenings will be preceded by an excerpt from 'Chain Reactions,' a new documentary about the film's cultural impact. Enduring Terror Summer is a great time to check off classic movies that have languished on your to-see list. The IFC Center's Hong Kong Cinema Classics series (Aug. 15-28) includes 11 films presented in new 4K restorations with new translations. My pick is 'The Killer,' John Woo's 1989 brain-blowing action movie starring Chow Yun-fat as a hired assassin. (Woo's 2024 remake is streaming on Peacock.) At the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, the director Ari Aster ('Midsommar') helped program a series about 'communities ready to spill over into bloodlust or vengeance,' as the museum describes it, inspired by his latest movie, 'Eddington.' Aster will be at the museum to introduce 'Nashville' (Aug. 17) and 'JFK' (Aug. 23). Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
