Epix, the Amazon-through-MGM-owned premium channel that has never really taken off and lost its original partners Viacom (before the reunion with CBS) and Lionsgate (before they bought Starz) along the way, is rebranding itself as of Jan. 15 as--MGM+. Good God:

The name change will occur for the third season premiere of "Godfather of Harlem." We will now pause while you say "Wha?"

P.S.: The big MGM releases like "No Time to Die," "House of Gucci" and "Licorice Pizza" are streaming on Amazon's Prime Video. So why bother?

I think Xfinity ended up swapping Starz for Epix in our cable package. I wonder if that'll change...

PS - of the three movies you listed there, only one is actually fit for human consumption.
