Ruby Franke's husband and children speak out in new Hulu docuseries
There is no shortage of crime documentaries based on cases that unfolded in Utah.
The latest: Hulu's new three-part docuseries " Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke" centers around the rise and fall of the popular parenting vlogger and her business partner, former therapist Jodi Hildebrandt, who were both arrested for child abuse in 2023.
The show features interviews with Franke's estranged husband, who filed for divorce in 2023, and their eldest children.
It "cuts through the social media reaction to explore the untold story behind the Ruby Franke case: part family tragedy, part coming-of-age narrative, part tale of our times about the perils of life lived online," according to the series' description.
Catch up quick: Franke launched the popular YouTube channel "8 Passengers" in 2015, where she documented her family's life and shared parenting advice.
Last year, Franke and Hildebrandt each were sentenced to four to 60 years in prison for abusing Franke's two youngest children.
Between the lines: Franke's eldest daughter, Shari, who appears in the docuseries, authored a book recounting her childhood "The House of My Mother: A Daughter's Quest for Freedom." It was released in January.

It's a living: Earning patronage on Patreon
In 2013, musician Jack Conte made a music video called "Pedals." He spent seven weeks and $10,000 building the set: "I remember the blood, sweat and tears, the months of pain, and hours and hours, and days and days of creation," he laughed. The video quickly racked up a million views on YouTube. And for that success, YouTube paid him … $166. "I felt undervalued, I felt resentful," Conte said. "I started to feel like, 'I can't keep doing this.' I've told this story 10,000 times – I still get emotional, like, when I think about this. And I sat down at my kitchen table and I sketched out this idea for a better system, a better way for creators to make money and build businesses." He called that better way It lets creators (like artists, musicians, podcasters, and video makers) get funding directly from their fans on the Internet. Conte said, "Within about two weeks of launching, I was making six figures as a creative person." Here's how it works: Your biggest fans can pay you, for example, $5 or $10 a month. In exchange, you're supposed to offer them exclusive goodies, like bonus episodes, early access to new episodes, outtakes, or live interactions with you. "It's work; it's not free money," Conte said. "But you know, because it's such an incredible amount of income, it's worth it for most creators who try it." Caro Arévalo creates intricate nature paintings, and also posts videos on YouTube and Instagram. Like most internet creators, she pieces together an income from various sources. "I have my own online shop, where I sell my originals," Arévalo said. "I also have a Patreon, I have a YouTube channel. I do partner up with some brands, do commissioned work." During the Renaissance, Michelangelo may have counted on the wealthy Medici family for support. These days, Arévalo has her Patreon patrons, who bring her about $700 a month. The top-paying fans get to chat with her on a monthly Zoom call. One of Arévalo's subscribers, Alyssa Carroll, said, "I like the fact that with just a small monthly amount I can, in a way, help support somebody else follow their dreams." Patron Alyssa Carroll said, "You get to communicate with other like-minded artists. And you're able to, you know, share what you're doing." Arévalo said, "I get a lot out of Patreon, not only from the income that I'm making monthly, but also because I get to know people and they share their stories with me. And they are also inspiring me. So, I feel it's this, like, symbiotic relationship." Patrick Hinds and Gillian Pensavalle make the popular comedy podcast "True Crime Obsessed," in which they riff about crime documentaries. Asked how a podcaster makes a living, Hinds laughed: "Well, normally they don't! And that's really true." They launched their show in 2017 in the living room of Hinds' apartment. Today, they can be full-time podcasters, thanks to Patreon. They have a dedicated podcast studio and five full-time employees. They've produced more than 800 podcast episodes about our fascination with criminals. Gillian Pensavalle and Patrick Hinds recording their podcast, "True Crime Obsessed." CBS News "I'm a podcaster – it's still very liberating and weird to be able to say out loud," said Pensavalle. "Still doesn't make a whole lotta sense, but here we are!" "But we always say, 'Put us out of work! Stop killing people!'" Hinds laughed. "Look, if I have to go back to bartending and that means no one gets murdered next year, I'll do it!" Today, 12 years after Patreon's founding, the company says that it's a source of regular income for more than 300,000 creators. TV and movie star Alan Alda has a podcast, too, called "Clear and Vivid" – and even he uses Patreon. "It's probably opened the door to a lot of people who wouldn't be able to devote themselves as much to their art as they can this way, where they can be in direct touch with the people who support them," he said. Alan Alda (top, second from left, hosts a Zoom call for Patreon subscribers to his podcast, "Clear and Vivid." CBS News The proceeds fund his nonprofit, the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science. The $45-a-month members get to join him each month for a video call. "We're talking to people in Australia and England, Germany," Alda said. "Sometimes they stay up 'til the middle of the night so they can talk to us at our time!" I said, "Who wouldn't stay up 'til the middle of the night to talk to you?" "I'm not sure I would!" Alda laughed. Musician Jacob Collier has more than 4,000 subscribers to his Patreon channel. Patreon/JacobCollier So, what's the catch? Patreon collects 5% to 12% of all the fans' contributions. The company has occasionally stirred controversy by shutting down the Patreon pages of purveyors of porn, hate, and misinformation. Patreon has competitors now, too, like Substack, Ko-fi, and Buy Me a Coffee. And co-founder Jack Conte points out that Patreon doesn't work unless you already have a following online. "Patreon helps you build a business. It works great for creators who are starting to find traction, have a couple thousand fans," he said. I said, "We've all heard of the starving artist." "I hate that term! I hate the term 'starving artist'!" Conte laughed. "If Patreon is successful, no one will use that term again. It will be gone from this planet. It will be a thing of the past. That's what I want." For more info: Story produced by David Rothman. Editor: Emanuele Secci.

Sarah Michelle Gellar, Allison Hannigan Say ‘Buffy' Reboot Will Honor Michelle Trachtenberg: ‘We'll Do What's Appropriate'
During an interview with Parade, actresses Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan addressed the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' reboot — which was confirmed to be in the works for Hulu earlier this year — but the stars remained mum on details. 'I know never to say never, but I'm excited to hear what Sarah says it's like,' Hannigan said. More from IndieWire Lucie Arnaz Says 'You Can't Talk to Aaron Sorkin,' Reflecting on 'Being the Ricardos' - 'It Was So Wrong' With 'Good Night, and Good Luck' on CNN, George Clooney Trusts the Power of Live TV, One More Time 'That seems fair,' Gellar laughed. Gellar did confirm that the series would pay tribute to the late actress Michelle Trachtenberg, who played her younger sister Dawn Summers seasons 5 through 7. 'We'll be able to do something,' Gellar said. 'We'll do what's appropriate.' 'I'm sure it will be handled with utter grace,' Hannigan added. Gellar, who has reteamed with Hannigan for an awareness campaign surrounding meningitis vaccination, Ask2BSure, said that she and her former co-star share an easy rapport on set. 'We still finish each other's sentences. You know when I'm lost, and I know when you are,' she said. 'I think our … work habits are very similar, so when you approach things the same way, it just evolves.' 'Even shooting, I feel like we just had this … unspoken dialogue,' Hannigan said. Last month, Deadline reported that Ryan Kiera Armstrong would star alongside former cast members in the reboot's pilot — which so far is all that has been ordered. But Gellar was publicly resistant to the idea of a 'Buffy' reboot for many years, saying in 2022, 'I am very proud of the show that we created and it doesn't need to be done … We wrapped that up.' But Gellar flipped on the idea after hearing Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao's plan for the series' continuation. 'The passion that [she] came to me with, what she wanted to do with the show and the character, and why 'Buffy' is needed now — it was the first time where I thought, 'OK, there's a reason,'' Gellar told Elite Daily. In the same interview, she said the revival had been in the work for four years. 'We won't do it unless it's 100 percent right and there's 100 percent a reason,' she added. One place fans will not see Gellar is in the 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' sequel, out July 18. The reboot's director said that Gellar resisted the idea of a return. 'I tried, OK? I harassed her! But she is dead,' Robinson told Entertainment Weekly. 'I tried to pitch some crazy shit too. I was like, 'What if it's like you weren't dead and you're actually alive, but in hiding?' And Sarah's like, 'I was on ice. I was the most dead a person could be. You can see my frozen body.' I was like, 'Yeah, but what if?' And she said, 'I am dead. I am Sarah Dead Gellar.''

Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro tease 'Meet the Parents 4' with Ariana Grande
Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro tease 'Meet the Parents 4' with Ariana Grande Show Caption Hide Caption Ben Stiller talks new holiday movie 'Nutcrackers' Ben Stiller tells USA TODAY's Marco della Cava what it was like working with kids and animals on his new Hulu movie 'Nutcrackers.' NEW YORK − They "Meet" again! "Meet the Parents" director Jay Roach and stars Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro and Teri Polo reunited on Saturday, June 7, at Tribeca Film Festival for a 25th anniversary screening of the classic 2000 comedy. During a post-screening panel discussion, they teased the upcoming "Meet the Parents 4" and confirmed Ariana Grande has joined the cast. John Hamburg, who co-wrote the three previous films, will direct the new sequel. "What spurred the idea was that at this point in time, I'm the age that (De Niro) was when we did the first movie," Stiller, 59, said. "It felt like this mirror to the first film in terms of the fact that my kids are grown, and one of my kids is thinking about introducing his person to the family." But the actor added that there had to be a "reason to make" another sequel, and "this new point in our lives, where the characters are, felt like it really was an organic reason." While he said he's thinking of the fourth movie as a "new thing," Stiller said it will also benefit from the audience's relationship with the characters. Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox "The cool thing about doing the next one, too, is that the audience has this history with the characters, and they're going to bring that to the film," he said. "There's something that's kind of emotional about it for me, for the actors: the connection that people have with the movies." Stiller starred in the original "Meet the Parents" as Greg Focker, who meets his girlfriend Pam's (Polo) mother (Blythe Danner) and father (De Niro) while getting ready to propose to her, only for absolutely everything possible to go wrong. It spawned two sequels: 2004's "Meet the Fockers" and 2010's "Little Fockers." De Niro praised the script for the fourth film as "really good." He also recalled telling Stiller and Hamburg they should start working on another sequel while on the set of "Little Fockers." "They said, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure, sure.' They were humoring me," De Niro said. "They didn't want to do it. But it was fine. And now, finally, we are doing another one." Roach noted that the relatable predicament made the original "Meet the Parents" work, and he teased that Hamburg has come up with a similarly great setup for the fourth film. "Everybody's going to love squirming through it, just like they did the old ones," he said. And with Grande joining the family, Stiller joked, "The name of the movie is 'Wicked 3.' " Ben Stiller on 'Nutcrackers': The actor thought his sweet Hulu movie might be a 'parody' While looking back on the original "Meet the Parents" during the Tribeca panel, Stiller pointed out that its events mirrored his own life at the time. During rehearsals, he had just met his future wife, actress Christine Taylor, and decided he was going to propose to her "Her parents lived in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and her dad owned a security company," Stiller said. "We had to go back for her grandfather's funeral, and I found myself in the basement of her house with her father after the funeral telling him that I loved his daughter and wanted to marry her. It was good research for the movie." 'People are seeing me' for first time: Ariana Grande on taking off the pop star mask Stiller also noted that to this day, people still scream Focker, his character's last name, at him in public "all the time." "I don't dislike it. It's just when someone yells 'Focker,' it doesn't necessarily feel respectful," he quipped. Polo recalled joining the film shortly before filming began and remembered thinking during her screen test that "if I mess this up, I will never forgive myself. I will never have this chance again." She added, "It was an amazing, amazing experience, and I thought it would never happen again. And now look at us."
