Too Much Trailer: Hacks' Megan Stalter Takes London by Storm in Lena Dunham's Netflix Rom-Com — Watch
Sorry, but London might not actually be able to make all your Love Actually rom-com fantasies come true, as Megan Stalter finds out in a new Netflix series.
The streamer has released a trailer for Too Much, starring Hacks breakout Stalter as Jessica, an American who is spiraling after a breakup and decides to take a job in London to get a fresh start. In the trailer — which you can watch below — Jessica hopes to find her Notting Hill dream man in the UK, but she gets a rude awakening once she arrives. (Where's Hugh Grant when you need him?) She does cross paths with Felix, a charming Brit played by The White Lotus alum Will Sharpe… but he might turn out to be more trouble than he's worth.

Girls star/creator Lena Dunham co-created the series along with her husband Luis Felber, and she makes a cameo appearance in the trailer, along with guest stars like Jessica Alba, Kit Harington, Naomi Watts and Andrew Scott. The main cast also includes Richard E. Grant, Michael Zegen, Janicza Bravo, Rhea Perlman and Andrew Rannells.
In Too Much (premiering Thursday, July 10), Stalter's Jessica is 'a New York workaholic in her mid-thirties, reeling from a broken relationship that she thought would last forever and slowly isolating everyone she knows,' per the official synopsis. 'The only solution is to take a job in London, where she plans to live a life of solitude like a Bronte sister. But when she meets Felix — a walking series of red flags — she finds that their unusual connection is impossible to ignore, even as it creates more problems than it solves. Now they have to ask themselves: do Americans and Brits actually speak the same language?'

The New OceanGate Documentary Dives Into the Depths of the Titan Submersible Tragedy
Two years ago, OceanGate's Titan submersible imploded in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland. Now, amid ongoing investigations by the U.S. Coast Guard, Netflix has a new documentary that proposes—citing sound evidence and on-camera interviews with sources that were formerly close to OceanGate—just what went wrong on the ill-fated journey to the site of another prolific sea disaster, RMS Titanic. Much of it has to do with OceanGate's eccentric late CEO, Stockton Rush, one of the five victims of the 2023 incident. On June 11, Netflix released the documentary Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster, which documents the circumstances behind the June 2023 incident that spawned countless memes and endless speculation. While the movie dives deep (ahem) into the specifics of the Titan's implosion, including pointing out the submersible's carbon fiber construction that was vulnerable to deep-sea water pressure, the movie points a finger at Rush, who is described by subjects in the movie as "arrogant" with a major "temper." "I worked for somebody that is probably borderline clinical psychopath. Definitely a narcissist," said Tony Nissen, a former engineering director at OceanGate in the movie. "How do you manage a person like that who owns the company?" In the movie, Stockton Rush is described as having a "privileged background" originating from generational wealth; his family tree includes two signers of the Declaration of Independence. Subjects in the film recall Rush hoping to fashion himself as a billionaire explorer like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, with his eyes set on Earth's oceans instead of Mars. "Big swinging dicks" was a term Rush liked to say out loud and often, and being a "big swinging dick" himself was an explicit goal. (Rush was not a billionaire, but he had money to burn nonetheless.) Joseph Assi, a videographer hired by Rush to capture OceanGate's expeditions, says that one of Rush's personal philosophies was that "accessibility is ownership." As Assi says in the documentary: "If there's a small island in the middle of the ocean, and you're the only one you can access it, it doesn't matter who owns it, you have ownership over it because you have the accessibility to get to it. And he truly believed in that." Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster makes a belabored point that OceanGate's failings leading to the implosion stemmed from Rush's leadership. His short temper and arrogance permeated in all his efforts to build a business around deep-sea commercial tourism. This included trying to skip critical testing conducted by third parties—which is standard practice in the industry—and cutting costs where possible, such as in the aforementioned use of carbon fiber materials which cannot sustain oceanic pressure. Rush also verbally stated he could and would "buy a congressman," which alarmed many OceanGate employees. Rob McCallum, a consultant, recalls in the documentary: "Stockton said that he decided that he saw no need for classification, for third-party oversight. I stood up and said, 'I'm sorry I can't be part of this conversation, nor can I be associated with OceanGate or this vehicle in any way.' And I left. He had every contact in the submersible industry telling him not to do this. But once you start down the path of doing it entirely yourself, and you realize you've taken the wrong turn right back at the beginning... You have to admit you were wrong. That's a big pill to swallow." Rush is also described as having a callous attitude towards employees, refusing to take accountability for his failures. For example: In 2016, Rush and OceanGate hosted an expedition to the SS Andrea Doria. The trip nearly ended in disaster after Rush brought their sub into a dangerous spot; David Lochridge, OceanGate's Director of Marine Ops and a more experienced pilot, took over controls and got everyone aboard safely to the surface. Though Rush thanked Lochridge, the CEO turned cold towards him, later excluding him from important communications. Rush eventually fired Lochridge, in a tense meeting heard in the movie via audio recording. Later, Rush suggested promoting another OceanGate employee, Bonnie Carl, to take over Lochridge as the next lead pilot. But Carl was an accountant who headed the HR department, and had no experience as a submersible pilot. Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster is a cut above typical straight-from-the-headlines Netflix documentaries, as a level-headed if straightforward deep dive (again, ahem) about a disaster that dominated the news cycle two summers ago. But while the ins and outs of a deadly trip into the sea have morbid appeal, it's the movie's interrogation of one man's toxic hubris that makes Titan a worthy watch.

Wynn Debuts Sartiano's Steakhouse, a New York Social Hotspot for the Strip
Wynn Las Vegas is bringing a double dose of New York influence to the Strip this winter. The resort already announced an outpost of Zero Bond, the exclusive Manhattan members club known for its buzzy guest list and low-key power plays. Alongside it comes Sartiano's Italian Steakhouse, a refined spin on the classic steakhouse from Bond Hospitality and Scott Sartiano, with a kitchen helmed by three-time James Beard Award winner Alfred Portale. Together, Sartiano's and Zero Bond mark a high-profile pairing of hospitality heavyweights — and a notable expansion of NYC's social scene into Las Vegas. When it opens at the Wynn this winter, Sartiano's will infuse the Wynn with a dose of New York cool, one that will likely play nicely with Zero Bond — or at least with the customers that pay the four-digit annual dues to frequent it (Sartiano's will be open to the public). Chef Portale is widely considered one of New York's most influential chefs, credited with shaping the 'big food' movement and mentoring a generation of culinary stars during his decades at Gotham Bar and Grill. At Sartiano's in New York — located inside the Mercer Hotel in SoHo — the vibe is sceney, with a menu that balances luxury and modern flash. Dishes include $48 caviar cannoli with crisp pastry shells filled with whipped mascarpone, rolled in black fish roe and chives. In Las Vegas, Portale will serve as culinary director, with day-to-day operations led by Las Vegas native Michael Rubinstein, whose résumé includes stints at Momofuku and Vetri Cucina. The Las Vegas menu will carry over highlights from the New York original while introducing new dishes exclusive to the Strip. Among the standouts are baked clams with pancetta and smoked bacon, lasagna with wild mushrooms and black truffle, and large servings of paccheri pasta with herbed ricotta and 'Sunday sauce.' A selection of prime bistecca cuts features prized American and Japanese wagyu, including a 40-ounce Double R Ranch dry-aged bistecca alla Fiorentina, carved tableside and served with Brunello beef jus and salsa verde. And yes, Portale is importing those caviar cannoli from New York. The restaurant's design will lean mid-century modern, with bold, geometric patterns meant to echo Las Vegas style from the 1950s, according to the Wynn. Expect an arched ceiling and a distinctive terrazzo floor. It will be tucked into an alcove overlooking the Wynn Golf Club, with a bar, lounge, outdoor dining, and a private dining room, and will sit adjacent to Zero Bond. New York's Zero Bond draws a high-profile crowd, including Taylor Swift, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, and — notably — Mayor Eric Adams. The club has recently made headlines over a rumored potential acquisition by billionaire Tilman Fertitta, a Trump ally and U.S. ambassador to Italy, who has recently vowed to divest from his empire of over 600 restaurants. Fertitta also owns the Golden Nugget and is the largest individual shareholder of Wynn Resorts. Meanwhile, Sartiano's in New York is known both as a hotspot for Italian steakhouse fare and an influencer magnet. In Las Vegas, it's poised to become a destination where seeing and being seen go hand in hand — or at least for indulging in some serious gawking at the parade of who's who moving between the restaurant and the club next door.
