Nearly three decades after Jerry Seinfeld was, in one episode of “Seinfeld,” cajoled into bootlegging tthe movie “Death Blow,” he has finally made his first film. Seinfeld directed, co-wrote and stars in “Unfrosted,” a star-studded comedy about the invention of the Pop-Tart premiering May 3 on Netflix. For Seinfeld, who has resolutely stuck to stand-up since “Seinfeld” ended in 1998, it’s a rare post-sitcom project. In an interview, Seinfeld says he remains committed to stand-up. Now nearly 70, he plans to keep performing “to the very end."

Growing up in the Midwest, filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung developed both a healthy fear of tornadoes and a reverence for Jan de Bont’s 1996 disaster film “Twister.” When he was hired to direct the sequel, “Twisters,” storming theaters on July 19, he knew one thing was non-negotiable: They needed to shoot in Oklahoma, not on soundstages. The film is considered a standalone sequel to the 1996 one and stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Anthony Ramos and Glen Powell as a new bunch of storm chasers. “Twisters” isn’t quite finished yet but he's feeling good about it, having already gotten a pretty major confidence boost from producer Steven Spielberg.
