'A Minecraft Movie' Starts Streaming Today. Here's How and Where to Watch it
If you caught some morsels from A Minecraft Movie on social media -- videos of theater audiences going wild over a chicken jockey or Jack Black passionately singing about cooking chicken with lava -- today you can stream the flick that started it all.
The Max streaming service, which will soon take on the title of HBO Max again, previously announced that the video game movie would premiere in June before sharing the exact release date for the PG-rated comedy. A Minecraft Movie stars Black, Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, Sebastian Eugene Hansen and Jennifer Coolidge and follows protagonists as they try to get back to the real world after ending up in the unfamiliar, cubic Overworld.
There are mid- and post-credits scenes, themes of creativity and adventure, menacing piglins and, of course, zombies riding on chickens. A Minecraft Movie is directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre) and has been a global and domestic box office success. If you're intrigued to see what a live-action Minecraft adaptation looks like, or you want to rewatch the chicken jockey scene at home, here's when you can stream A Minecraft Movie on Max.
How to watch A Minecraft Movie on Max
The live-action video game adaptation hit Max in the early morning hours on June 20, (3:01 a.m. ET, to be exact) and is available to stream now. A version with American Sign Language is also streaming on the platform.
There are three standalone Max plans to choose from, and you can also opt for a bundle of Max, Disney Plus and Hulu if you want all three. Just getting ad-supported Max on its own costs $10 per month or $100 per year. There are also $17 per month and $21 per month ad-free Max plans (live events on ad-free plans will still have commercials). Separately, A Minecraft Movie is available to rent at Amazon and Fandango at Home for $10.

Colorado arcade bus owner honors heroic good Samaritan Johnny Hurley
A Colorado man is hitting the road and bringing classic arcade games to you. It's an achievement that began as an aspiration between two friends. Despite the death of one of them, the other has followed through with their goal to share beloved games with others who also cherish them. Boss Battle Bus CBS Owning and operating the "Boss Battle" arcade bus has been a dream come true for Devin McKenna, a self-proclaimed "arcader" and entertainer. "It's a love letter to the '80s," McKenna told CBS Colorado. "There is nothing else out there like it." The bus, formerly a Denver International Airport shuttle bus, is filled with retro nostalgia, and it's equipped with over 12,000 games. It has everything from Pac-Man, NBA Jam to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. With the ability to host more than two dozen players at once. Meaning when it's full, there are dozens of smiling faces. "There is nothing better in the world," McKenna said. "I could literally live in that moment forever." The bus also carries with it an homage to one of its original creators -- Johnny Hurley. McKenna made the connection while on a test drive before he purchased it a year ago. "I look down, and there's stickers of Johnny from his memorial, and I will go, 'Wait. Is that John Hurley?" McKenna explained. "He's like, 'Yes. That was my best friend, and that's who built the bus with me.'" Johnny Hurley was shot and killed on June 21, 2021 after he stopped an active shooter who had killed Arvada Police Officer Gordon Beesly. Hurley was then shot by an officer who mistook him for the suspect. McKenna wanted to make sure Hurley would have a lasting legacy beyond the heroics that led to his death. "We rebranded it to be called the "Boss Battle Bus" with the tagline, "Beat the boss, whatever the cost," because that's what Hurley did. He beat the bad guy," McKenna said. "He gave everything, and it was to have this kind of community involvement that there is. He was trying to build what we're building now, and it is the greatest honor to be able to carry that on." McKenna joined forces with a party rental company to create Epic Party Rentals, which offers the arcade bus for rent and a plethora of other games. The bus brings joy to people's lives. That's McKenna's full-time mission now, and he feels reassurance from someone he lost as well. "My wife passed three months after Johnny, so I just know it was up there, them going, 'OK, you're supposed to do this, kid,'" McKenna said. "It was what I wanted to do my whole life -- bring fun and bring joy to this darkening world."

Remy Bond Channels the ‘Diamond Sadness' of the Seventies in ‘Moviestar' Video
Remy Bond time-travels to the Seventies and sings to a distant, glamorous lover in her new video. On Friday, the rising pop star released the visual for 'Moviestar,' continuing her streak of retro-inspired releases. 'I was into a lot of Seventies Europop when we wrote 'Moviestar,'' Remy says of the track, produced by Jules Apollinaire. 'It has a lot of that diamond sadness that I love about those songs.' More from Rolling Stone St. Vincent Taps Mon Laferte for Spanglish Duet of 'Violent Times' Shakira and Alejandro Sanz Reunite - Again! - for Love Song 'Bésame' Connie Francis Reacts to Going Viral on Tiktok for 1961 B-Side 'Pretty Little Baby' The Frances O'Sullivan-directed video opens with a clip of Remy and her sister Olivia showing off their bedazzled vapes (a reference to the cheeky lyrics 'But you vape, you vape, you vape') before flashing to a vintage clip of two people watching Bond perform the song on an old-school TV show. The video sees Remy and her sister in sparkly Seventies-inspired dresses, holding up retro microphones as they point at the crowd and Remy sings to a glamorous lover, whose antics are more than confusing. 'You are a movie star/Look into my eyes and tell me who you are,' she sings. 'Just another minute as a superstar / it's a sunny day.' The new track follows February's 'Simple Girl,' and comes ahead of her Star Shaped Baby tour, which kicks off next week in Philadelphia, before she heads across the country for stops throughout June. She'll then tour the UK and Europe in July. The New York City-raised star cites David Bowie, and the Fifties and Sixties as key inspirations to her artistry and has been championed by Elton John on his Rocket Hour radio show. 'Moviestar' will likely be featured on her upcoming debut album. Best of Rolling Stone The 50 Greatest Eminem Songs All 274 of Taylor Swift's Songs, Ranked The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time
