Where to watch Black Adam

Look … up in the sky. It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s … Black Adam? That’s right, everyone’s favorite millennia-old anti-hero from Kahndaq appeared for the first time ever on the big screen this past October, and dozens of fans across the world were aglow with delight.

Before you can ask yourself “Who asked for this?,” just remember that this is the latest DCEU movie and, as such, it’s yet another corporate product designed to sell toys instead of, you know, being entertaining. We must admit that the movie does have its fans, and the curious masses who didn’t watch it in the theater are bound to look for it when it hits streaming. But when does Black Adam become available to watch at home?

If you want to see The Rock fight tons of CGI villains, deliver his signature raised eyebrow trick, and try to create a franchise out of subpar material, head to HBO Max to begin streaming.

Launched in 2020, HBO Max offers programs from its signature brands, such as HBO, Cartoon Network, and Warner Bros. Legacy shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, Succession, and Game of Thrones can all be watched on the service as well as current movies like The Batman. And original programming, like Hacks and The Flight Attendant, exists under “Max Originals.” In 2023, HBO Max and Discovery+ will consolidate into one platform after the merger between WarnerMedia and Discovery.

When does it stream for subscribers?

Black Adam is now streaming on HBO Max.

How much does it cost?

To access HBO Max, subscribers can choose between a plan with ads and a plan without ads. With ads, HBO Max costs $10 a month or $100 a month. Without ads, HBO Max costs $15 a month or $150 a year. HBO Max is also offering a special Black Friday deal for new and returning subscribers, who can access HBO Max with ads at a discounted rate of $2 per month for the first three months. This special offer ends November 28.

Cable TV subscribers can watch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation for free on TNT and TBS. Without cable, the film is available through live TV platforms like Hulu + Live TV and Sling TV. Hulu + Live TV costs $70 per month, but that price will increase to $75 per month starting December 8, 2022. Sling TV offers two basic packages: Orange and Blue. Separately, those packages cost $35 per month and they cost $50 if purchased together. Those rates will increase to $40 each or $55 together starting December 3, 2022. Extra Sling channels will cost anywhere from $3 to $11.

Is Black Adam worth watching?

Only if you set your expectations really low. It’s not a horrible movie like Morbius, but it sure is bland and colorless. The Rock does what he usually does in a movie, which is to say not that much. The movie uses a lot of slow motion in its fight scenes, which drags down the action. And the ending is a bit of a letdown.

What’s good about the movie is pretty much everything else that isn’t related to Black Adam and his routine storyline. Any time the Justice Society of America comes on the screen, the movie comes alive. It makes you wish they had a movie of their own, with former James Bond Pierce Brosnan and Aldis Hodge standing out as Dr. Fate and Hawkman, respectively.

On Rotten Tomatoes, Black Adam registers 39% on the Tomatometer and an 89% audience score.

Stream Black Adam on HBO Max now.

How to watch the 2025 SAG Awards: Date, time, live stream, nominees
Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci exchange words in a still from the movie Conclave

It's all about the actors at the 2025 SAG Awards on Sunday night. The SAG Awards are voted on by SAG-AFTRA — Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. That means you will not see any awards dedicated to writers, directors, or producers. Only actors and stunt ensembles will be awarded tonight.

The SAG Awards are the last precursor to the 2025 Oscars. Many of the Oscar races could be over by the end of tonight. If Anora wins Outstanding Cast, it will take a miracle to dethrone it at the Oscars. Speaking of Anora, Mikey Madison could take the lead over Demi Moore for Best Actress. Television categories will also be awarded, though Shōgun is expected to dominate. Jane Fonda will also become the 60th recipient of the SAG Life Achievement Award.

UConn v. St. John’s: How to watch, results, and highlights
Danny Hurley holds his arms out and smiles.

What's better than a Big East showdown at the Mecca? Liam McNeeley and the UConn Huskies (18-8) head to the Garden to play RJ Luis Jr. and the No. 10 St. John's Red Storm (23-4). These two rivals squared off a few weeks ago at Gampel Pavilion. Luis scored 21 points, and his running mate, Kadary Richmond, scored 13 in St. John's impressive 68-62 victory.
UConn is the two-time defending national champions, but they haven't played up to that level all season. McNeely is one of the most talented freshmen in the country. However, the lack of leadership at the point guard position is jarring and could lead to an early exit for the Huskies from the tournament. Meanwhile, it's been a magical year for Rick Pitino at St. John's. The Hall of Fame coach will have the Red Storm in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2018–19.
UConn is running out of chances to improve its resume, while St. John's has its eyes set on a top-four seed. Find out how to watch a live stream of the Big East matchup below, and for more coverage, read our NCAA men's basketball March to the Madness guide.

How to watch, results, and highlights: Iowa State vs. Houston
Fans watch Houston basketball from the stands.

While the SEC gets most of the attention, the Big 12 has a strong argument for the second-best conference in the country. Saturday pits two of the conference's top teams against each other. Keshon Gilbert and the No. 8 Iowa State Cyclones (21-5) travel to Texas to play LJ Cryer and the No. 5 Houston Cougars (22-4). This will be the only regular-season meeting between the two teams.
Last month, the Cyclones lost three consecutive games, including one that involved a miraculous half-court shot. Since February 8, Iowa State has won four straight, including a 79-65 win over Colorado earlier this week. Houston has been one of the top college basketball programs over the last five years. Had their best player not been injured last year, the Cougars could have gone to the Final Four. Kelvin Sampson's Cougars are determined to make their second Final Four in five seasons.
Both teams are comfortably in the NCAA Tournament. However, each team could use another Quad 1 win to strengthen their resume. Find out how to watch the game between Iowa State and Houston. Read our NCAA men's basketball March to the Madness guide for more February coverage.
