Today's entertainment news is split between legacy figures looking ahead and new releases getting mixed reviews. Larry David's post-Curb plans dominate conversation, while Luca Guadagnino's AI worries add a sobering note to the film world. Meanwhile, critics are divided on The Bear's finale and Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights.

Jeff Schaffer's interview reveals that Barack Obama gave notes on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and that Larry David will never truly retire. It's a rare look at the creative process behind one of TV's most acclaimed comedies.

Luca Guadagnino remains hopeful his Sam Altman film Artificial will find a new distributor after Amazon MGM dropped it, but he's deeply disturbed by AI's broader impact, calling it 'more than just disturbing.'
