We've been in a new month for a while now, but in part thanks to the holiday and in part thanks to a quirk in the scheduling we didn't get to a new "Star" of the Month on TCM until the 7th, which is today, and a bit out of the ordinary for the feature to be on a Friday. But then, that's because instead of one star like normal, TCM is doing a look at "Stars of the 70s", with a total of 14 movies, I'm assuming one for each of 14 different stars, which doesn't seem like too many.
I was looking for more information about it on the TCM website, and I have to admit it was a bit difficult at first. I'm presuming that with the recent layoffs at the channel, whoever was responsible for keeping the website updated is no longer doing that. The front page has a lot of links to old stuff, specifically the Warner Bros. 100th anniversary salute from April. However, the This Month link at the page does work, and took me to a page about the various spotlights in July.
Also not getting updated is the Watch TCM app. The most recent movie added is Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold, which aired in the wee hours at the end of last Friday's schedule. I have no idea what's going to happen when all of the movies currently on the Watch TCM app expire, or if anybody even notices the app isn't getting updated. I don't normally use the app to watch TCM live.
