    Might be afraid people with think it's a musical, ;)
    It's also the name of play that's been adapted to film a few times.

    So how will that work? I can’t imagine people will listen to that on their tv.
    Is there a HBO Max audio app for these?

    I have a technical issue with HBO Max. When I pause and then unpause, it takes several seconds for the video and audio to resume, but I lose those several seconds' worth of content. So then I have to backtrack.

    Are you going through a sound system? There could be a delay if so

    It's the HBO Max app that came pre-installed on my TV.

    Don’t have that problem on my TV but my experience has been very mixed depending on platform (cable box, amazon fire stick, tv, pc, game systems) with some being way slower and sketchy than others.

    There's your problem. It's not TV. It's HBO.

    Make sure the app is updated. Usually they should auto-update but best to double check.

    In his latest Newsletter, comics writer Brian Michael Bendis revealed he was working on two projects for HBO Max.

    The first is an adaptation of his and David Mack's (not to be confused with the Star Trek novelist of the same name) spy-fi graphic novel "Cover" as an adult animated series. Bendis wrote the pilot, which Mack is to direct. The script was apparently well-received, which led to Bendis' second project.

    He said it would be based on his and Ryan Sook's recent reboot. But he also cautioned that it was still in early development and, as animation takes a long time, would not be released for quite a while yet.

    I've like Bendis's Marvel stuff I've read, so I'll probably be checking these out. I haven't checked out any of his DC stuff yet, but this might get me to check out his Legion series.

    That's great I always wanted to finish watching that series. It kind of had this X-Files vibe but it got really interesting when Leonard Nimoy joined the cast.

    Was it? Huh, I thought it was an in house Fox production, especially since it starred a member of the Murdoch family.
