This TV executive says TV has become “terrible”

Do you ever had the feeling that TV sucks? Well, you’re not alone. High-ranking TV executives also agree with us, and they know that it won’t be long before TV, as we know it, begins to die off, more so than it already has. And as more people switch off and move to streaming services entirely, cutting the cord for good, it’s likely to get worse before it begins improving, which means a few more years of trash before the sun rises. But some people are already fed up with this constant erosion of paid services, and are opting for…

Your podcast queue is already filled with AI rubbish, thanks to this startup

I listen to podcasts all the time, and I bet you do, too. And the allure of podcasts is that you hear someone or a group of people talking about something you love or find interesting. It’s the human connection. But why wait for your favorite podcasters to publish the next episode when a startup can push thousands of new podcasts to your list in the blink of an eye? That’s what Inception Point AI is attempting to do with the launch of more than 5,000 AI-powered podcasts that are already filling up your “next up” list—and you’re probably not…

The “ten-hour movie” trend is ruining TV for me

Thanks to how prominent premium streaming services have become, we live in an era where there are more television shows than ever. There are just so many choices to sift through, it can be almost maddening to find something to watch. And all of these companies want to create that next big hit, so they throw ridiculously high budgets at shows and see what sticks. It’s not, altogether, a bad thing for television, because it’s led to some truly groundbreaking hits. No longer is it a medium where A-list actors wouldn’t be caught dead starring in a show that airs…

Netflix is shooting itself in the foot with Knives Out 3

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is the latest Knives Out movie from writer-director Rian Johnson. The Knives Out films are known for star-studded casts, twisty plots, and being very, very popular; the first movie made over $300 million at the worldwide box office, an impressive feat for any film and doubly so for an original IP. At the time, we thought we were witnessing the birth of a fun new franchise that would keep people coming back to the theater. We were half-right. In 2021, Netflix paid $450 million for two Knives Out sequels. The first sequel,…

South Korea makes the best zombie movies—these are the ones you can’t miss

When it comes to zombie cinema, Hollywood may have quantity, but South Korea has quality. Over the past decade, Korean filmmakers have taken the zombie genre and reshaped it into something fresh, emotional, and unpredictable. Is it just that it’s a foreign language and feels more exciting somehow? I don’t believe it’s just that, but it certainly gives it an edge over many of the zombie-film tropes I’ve seen so many times, and that’s without getting into the countless shows we’ve all seen on repeat. So, if you haven’t given South Korean zombie movies a chance, now is your time…

I tried Mr Jones’ new watch, and I’m so happy they’ve finally perfected the case

I’ve always had a soft spot for Mr Jones Watches. Their quirky, story-driven designs are unlike anything else in the watch world – playful, bold, and often a little tongue-in-cheek. The size has always been ideal too, with most models coming in at 37mm, which is perfect for someone like me with slender wrists. But there’s always been one problem: the lugs. Mr Jones’ cases used to have long, overhanging lugs that just didn’t sit right on smaller wrists. On me, they looked awkward – like the watch was trying too hard to cover territory it couldn’t quite manage. And…

Best budget tablets in 2025 for outstanding value

Tablets have become go-to gadgets for a lot of people, sitting neatly between a phone and a laptop. The good news? You don’t need to splash out on a flagship model to get something worthwhile. Today’s budget tablets pack in sharp screens, solid performance, and plenty of features for far less money. Whether you’re after a device for streaming, gaming on the go, reading, or light work, there’s a wallet-friendly option out there. It wasn’t always like this. Early budget tablets often felt like a compromise – slow processors, flimsy builds, and a bare-bones app selection. But things have moved…

I’m a sucker for a great pilot episode and these shows have the best ones

It can be difficult for any new show to really pull in an audience, let alone keep one. Every show is competing for ratings or views in some way, and with the growth of premium streaming services, that competition just becomes fiercer with each passing year. So having that right first episode, or pilot episode, can really do a lot of lifting in drawing an audience in. You might argue that binge culture has made pilot episodes more obsolete, especially with streamers releasing all episodes at once. Still, I would say that a great first episode can make or break…

I watch live TV for free with this app you’ve never heard of

Watching high-quality TV doesn’t necessarily require a costly subscription to a cable or streaming service. Several iPhone apps offer live and on-demand content for free, supported by advertisements. Of these, I have found one in particular that does a great job. Until a few months ago, I had never heard of this app. Perhaps you haven’t either. After all, it’s not even currently on our list of the best free streaming TV services. What is Stirr TV? The app isn’t well-known First introduced in 2019, Stirr TV was first conceived by the Sinclair Broadcast Group. Since 2024, it’s been owned…
