Amazon Prime Video is rammed full of amazing movies and shows—but some of the best ones fly under the radar. That’s why I dig down past the suggested titles and find the best hidden gems for you to binge-watch this glorious weekend. The Night Manager, featuring Hugh Laurie, Tom Hiddleston, and Olivia Colman, is a British crime drama that is based on a novel of the same name. In the show, Hiddleston is a former British soldier who works as the night manager of a luxury hotel located in Cairo. He is recruited by Colman, who serves as the Head…

My last weekend binge on Netflix was full of drama and a pinch of fantasy. But this weekend I’m doing a mix of documentaries, anime, and finally finishing The Queen’s Gambit, which I stopped watching at the penultimate episode. 5 The Queen’s Gambit Watch The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix ​​​I don’t know what I was thinking when I stopped just before the end of The Queen’s Gambit. Maybe I got sidetracked by another show. In the end, it was a happy mistake because I got to rewatch and experience what drew me into the show in the first place. It…

Scary movies in the fall make sense, but horror has roots in the summer, too. How about Friday the 13th and I Know What You Did Last Summer? In some of my favorite horror movies, you can’t help but feel the heat of summer. 8 Midsommar Watch Midsommar on Amazon Prime Video Midsommar might be the first time I saw Florence Pugh on screen, and what a first impression it was. What was meant to be, more or less, an opportunity to heal after the death of her parents, Dani (Florence Pugh) witnesses the strange traditions and horrors of Midsummer,…

The biggest reason I have a second monitor is so I can stream content while I work, but I don’t like my attention being too divided. When I’m really busy, I stick to shows that don’t require my full attention. 8 What We Do in the Shadows Watch What We Do in the Shadows on Disney+ Never in a million years did I think a delightfully funny and charming movie like What We Do in the Shadows would spawn an equally hilarious and quirky show. And stars Matt Berry from Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace? It’s a little more story-driven, like American…

Looking for a drama that is both disturbing and compelling in equal measure? These unsettling series will guarantee you stay glued to the screen from start to finish. 10 Ozark Watch Ozark on Netflix Most of us think of Jason Bateman as a comedic actor, but in Ozark, he demonstrates impressive dramatic chops in this cautionary tale of corruption in the American Midwest. From its opening scene, we are drawn into the action, as Marty Byrde’s quiet suburban life is turned upside down when his business partner’s missteps entangle him with a violent drug cartel. Netflix After going to ground…

I love Spotify—I’ve been a Premium subscriber for over 10 years, it’s my primary way to listen to music, and I use it almost every day. But there’s a small annoyance in the way Spotify manages music that drives me crazy, and I bet it’s not just me. Spotify’s Library Management Is a Mess I’m hugely album-oriented with music, so I save albums to my library and usually pick one to listen to, rather than opening a playlist. I’m also a heavy user of the Liked Songs feature; I shuffle my Liked Songs in the car or when I just…

Want to buy the best projector? You’re not alone. More of us are looking for a dedicated projector for the ultimate home cinema experience to either complement a 4K TV or replace it – especially as major releases continue to make their debut on streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, and more. A good projector can turn your living room into a cinema, your garden into a summer screening spot, or your spare wall into a gaming arena. But finding the right one isn’t as simple as picking the brightest or biggest model you can afford. Projectors vary wildly…

After spending countless hours using my laptop and desktop speakers set up in college, I discovered that a few smart upgrades can transform your cramped dorm space into the ultimate streaming hub—without breaking the bank. 5 A 32-34 Inch Monitor The heart of a good dorm streaming setup starts with the right monitor size. I’ve found that a 32 to 34-inch display hits that sweet spot between being large enough for group viewing and compact enough for dorm life. Unlike smaller screens that leave you squinting during late-night Netflix marathons, these larger monitors provide enough real estate for comfortable viewing,…

You can bet your last dollar that subscription fees on popular streaming platforms will keep rising. That’s why YouTube is a great place for free and legal movies, with many channels offering classics. This list of a few choice free films, in no particular order, is a breadcrumb to real gems. Some of these films are age-restricted and will require you to sign into your YouTube account for age verification. Let’s start with some scares. Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 masterpiece remains one of cinema’s greatest creations. This psychological thriller follows Marion Crane’s fateful stop at the Bates Motel, where she meets…

With the rollout of iOS 26, Apple Music received one of my most anticipated new features: AutoMix. While not as advanced as Spotify’s AI DJ, it’s a great addition to Apple Music—and I actually like it much more than Spotify’s version. Apple Is Finally Rolling Out AutoMix Starting with iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and other Apple devices, Apple Music will offer a new feature called AutoMix. As its name suggests, it combines two songs into one, much like a DJ does. The transitions between songs, which are performed through artificial intelligence (AI), utilize time stretching and beat matching for seamless…
