You might not be an avid-fly fisher, yet – but after checking out the products at Finn Utility – you’ll start contemplating why you never picked up such a hobby. Finn Utility is dedicated to respecting the tradition of fly-fishing, using high quality materials and hand-making their products in the good ol’ U.S. of A.

Across the line, you’ll find fly-fishing goods created using the best waxed canvases, leathers, and brass . They have everything from reel holders and fly wallets to duffel bags. The company is dedicated to respecting the traditional aesthetic, but with modern conveniences. Classic, durable and useful products that will last a lifetime – like the Finn Utility Four Reel Case. It’s a case for your reels (obviously), but check out the lining. It’s lined in shearling for extra protection.

The Streamer Wallet is another twist on what would otherwise be a mundane item – an alternative to the plastic cases usually found on the market – this case is made from 18oz waxed twill canvas, a leather closure, also lined in sheepskin. There was some serious thought that went into this case – if dropped in the water, it floats and will dry in the sun.

And here is something that even the non-fisherman will enjoy – the Huntington Duffel – constructed from durable 18oz. waxed twill canvas and lined with tight weave cotton. Finn Utility even coats the bottom of the bag with a special oil for waterproofing and stain resistance. So whether you’re on a boat or looking for a rugged bag for that long weekend, they’ve got you covered.

The White Lotus was one of the biggest surprises in HBO's recent history. The series was initially devised as a self-contained story that could be filmed in compliance with COVID, and it's since become one of the most popular series in the company's repertoire. We already know that a third season is on the way and will feature another star-studded cast, but what about a potential season 4?

According to reporting in Variety, a fourth season of the show is percolating at HBO, but it hasn't officially been announced yet. “Mike, obviously — if he wants to move forward and do the four seasons — he will do the fourth season,” HBO head Casey Bloys said.

Denis Villeneuve says he ‘absolutely believes’ in ‘Dune: Messiah’ as he develops the script
The exact timing for the potential trilogy capper remains under wraps.
Timothee Chalamet in Dune Part 2

Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Dune has been more successful than many who have loved the Frank Herbert novel for decades could have dreamed. Dune: Part 1 was nominated for a bunch of Oscars and won a couple, and Part 2 seems to be on a similar trajectory, and also far outgrossed the first installment.

Villeneuve has promised that he will return to the world of Dune one more time to adapt Herbert's sequel, Dune: Messiah, but we don't know exactly when that movie might be coming. In a recent interview with Deadline to discuss Part 2, Villeneuve was hesitant to say too much about the upcoming third installment.

Max has become the home to some of the most fascinating and innovative shows on TV. Fans can trust that the HBO-affiliated streamer has tons of originals and plenty of old favorites from trusted creators, and that trend will continue with their newest offering titled Duster. This thriller comes from the mind of the esteemed J.J. Abrams and stars his fellow Lost alum, Josh Holloway, as a getaway driver who must use his skills for the good of the government when the first Black female FBI agent in American history asks him for her help (the agent will be played by Rachel Hilson). The show is a period piece taking place in the 1970s. It hasn't been revealed how any of the main events of the decade will be incorporated into the plot of the series.

Like a lot of shows that have been teased for the coming months, Duster doesn't have a lot of concrete details out in the open yet. The project has been ongoing for quite some time and was delayed during the Hollywood writers and actors strikes, but a recent teaser trailer has hinted that Duster should finally arrive at an unspecified point in 2025. Here is everything we know so far about Duster.
Who is starring in Duster on Max?
