What the heck is ‘Tudum'? What we know about Netflix's live global fan event this weekend
People who watch Netflix but don't closely follow the platform's announcements are probably wondering this week: What the heck is 'Tudum'?
If you're a fan of Netflix originals, you might recognize it as the sound that plays before a Netflix original movie or series and when you open the app. But it's also what the platform has named its global fan event (which is coming later this week) and its' companion website that has exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes content and bonus videos.
Here's what we know about the upcoming Tudum event this week and how to watch it live.
'Tudum' is the spelled-out version of the sound that plays before Netflix's original movies and series.
It's also the name of the streaming platform's 'companion site,' which helps viewers 'find and fuel' their fandom for the Netflix shows and movies they like, according to Netflix's website.
'On Tudum you'll find exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes content, bonus videos and more,' Netflix's website says.
'And if you log in with your Netflix account, you'll get a more personalized experience based on the TV shows and movies you've recently rated or watched on Netflix.'
'Tudum' is also what Netflix calls its yearly global fan event, where Netflix spotlights its movies, shows, stars and creators. This will be the fifth-ever Tudum event, which began in 2020, and this year, it will be streaming live.

Jon Hamm's Apple TV+ Dramedy Is a Massive Hit. Here's How to Stream the Finale
Former hedge fund dude Coop (Jon Hamm) is about to face the music. After eight episodes of stealing, lying, and generally falling into all sorts of catastrophes, the comedy-drama of Your Friends & Neighbors is about to release its final episode. Will Coop find his way out of the financial chaos he's caused for himself? Will he be convicted of murder? Will he be able to fix the messed-up relationship he has with his family? Will this final episode end on a note of sorrow, or one of accidental optimism? And most importantly: Who killed Paul? Your Friends & Neighbors is one of the sleeper hits of the past few months, and according to various metrics, including FlixPatrol, the series is currently Apple's most-watched original series. Here's what to know about the finale of Your Friends & Neighbors, including release date, streaming time, and what might happen with the plot. No major spoilers ahead. The 9th and final episode of Your Friends & Neighbors Season 1 is called "Everything Becomes Symbol and Irony," and will hit Apple TV+ on Friday, May 30. The title of the episode seems to refer to a voiceover monologue that Hamm's character, Coop, had in the very first Apple TV+ originals tend to release new episodes on Fridays at 12:00 a.m. ET. This means that, yes, often, new episodes will hit at 9:00 p.m. PT. Between Thursday, May 29, and Friday morning, May 30, you'll be able to stream the Your Friends & Neighbors finale, "Everything Becomes Symbol and Irony." Essentially, at this point, none of Coop's old rich-person friends are fully aware of all of his crimes, petty or otherwise. This means the finale will have to reveal to what extent Coop will be caught for all of his robberies. But, more importantly, it will have to reveal who killed Paul (Jordan Gelber), the ex-husband of Sam (Olivia Munn), who has had an on-again, off-again romance with Coop throughout the show. The show is already renewed for Season 2, so it's very possible that not every single mystery will be answered, and that even if we do discover the identity of Paul's killer, it may just set us all up for even more Hamm's Apple TV+ Dramedy Is a Massive Hit.

‘Everyone Does Botox': Lindsay Lohan Gets Honest About Beauty Standards In Hollywood
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When Lindsay Lohan made her big return to acting in 2022 with the Netflix holiday rom-com, Falling for Christmas, fans all over the world hoped that she would not only continue to bring us new characters, but step back into some old ones, as well. Now that we are well into the 2025 movie schedule, and getting closer to the release of Freakier Friday (which brings her together with Freaky Friday co-star Jamie Lee Curtis again), she's been talking about coming back to the profession that made her famous while promoting the upcoming film. Now, Lohan's opening up about beauty standards in Hollywood. Even though Lindsay Lohan has already admitted to being a bit 'jealous' of the young stars who are coming up today, the former child star would likely confirm that one thing hasn't changed much, and that's the Hollywood beauty standard. People (and women in particular) in the entertainment industry are pretty much still expected to look as young, thin, and fashionable as possible when not in character, a fact that has led to much negative commentary about how stars like Selena Gomez, Kelly Clarkson, and many others look. In speaking with Saturday Night Live star Chloe Fineman (who has a role in Freakier Friday) for Elle Magazine, the topic turned to beauty standards when the Just My Luck leading lady noted that she's currently working on a line of beauty products (much like the aforementioned Gomez, whose Rare Beauty has made her a billionaire). That admission led to this quick exchange: Lohan: Everyone does Botox. Fineman: Last night at dinner, I was with somebody, and they're like, 'I've never had it.'And I was like, 'What? Are you kidding?' Lohan: Who are you? It's like, 'You lie.' I know a lot of people, even those who don't face near constant public scrutiny about their appearance, have had Botox. Many of us simply do not want to be wrinkled or to appear to have physically aged at all, despite the fact that everyone will do just that at some point. However, it hadn't really occurred to me that it would be so hard to buck the Botox trend in Hollywood that it's seemingly impossible to come upon someone in the industry who hasn't experimented with using the substance to erase as many wrinkles as possible at least once. Stars have begun to speak out about unrealistic beauty standards, and Lohan's co-star, Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis has been among them. In 2023, after singer Karol G came out against her heavily retouched GQ cover, Curtis spoke up about how things like that hurt all women and contribute to us feeling ashamed of ourselves. Other stars have done similar things in recent years, like Florence Pugh discussing how harshly women's bodies are judged, Halle Berry talking about 'challenging' stereotypes of older women, and Demi Moore revealing the 'tremendous gift' of aging. Speaking of that beauty line that Lohan is developing, Fineman did ask for more info on how she takes care of her own health and beauty when the Mean Girls star admitted to being 'crazy about my skin and health.' Lohan added: Oh, God, I don't even know how to answer that. I drink this juice every morning. It's like carrot, ginger, lemon, olive oil, apple. I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water. I'm a big pickled beets person, so I put them in almost everything. My skin care is very specific. I'm trying out some serums now that I'm doing—I'm testing them. Also, I'm a big believer in ice-cold water on your face when you wake up. I drink lemon juice a lot; I also put tons of chia seeds in my water. Eye patches, I do every morning. I'm into lasers. Honestly, all of that sounds fine to me except the lasers. They've been used to clear up a number of skin concerns, like acne and, yes, even wrinkles, but I'll just have to turn into an old bog witch eventually if that's the best way to stop one from looking old. And, you know what? I'm totally fine with that. It'll probably finally keep the neighborhood kids out of my yard once they get a look at me.
