Prime Video doubled its ad load since launch. HBO Max went up and never announced it. But the service that feels the worst isn’t the one taking most of your time. Here are the stopwatch numbers and the one upgrade worth your $10 a month.
We lost Dolly Parton last month, friend. So the Labor Day watch list starts with her: seven shows and movies about work, Succession to the GameStop story, with a trailer for each and directions to find streaming.
The average household pays $69 a month for streaming, and 73% are fed up with the price hikes. Nielsen says free services like The Roku Channel beat some paid giants, and Tubi alone has 300,000 free titles. Cancel your least-watched app for 30 days and try one of these instead.
It’s a long holiday weekend, and I’m doing something a little different. I’m queuing up the movies that called it: the ones that predicted the digital world we’re all living in. AI assistants, video calls, screens on everything. Hollywood saw it coming decades ago. Grab the popcorn, and watch along with me. These flicks were […]
Red Notice was savaged by critics. Netflix called it their most-watched film. Both things are true. Here’s the manipulation hiding in plain sight.
YouTube Premium jumps to $15.99 on June 7. Netflix is already $26.99. The average household pays $972 a year for streaming. Here’s the playbook to slash your bill before the next hike hits.
That movie you bought on Apple TV? That game on Steam? It’s a license that can vanish overnight. Here’s what’s really happening to your digital library.
You can keep the wizards and aliens. Give me a movie or series where something unbelievable actually happened. Back by popular demand, I put together this list for you as proof that tech isn’t only lines of code and shiny gadgets. It’s ambition, hype, brilliance and, yeah, sometimes a total train wreck. You’re gonna want […]
Barry and I play chess a few times a month, and he’s always completely floored when I win. Why? He plays everyday on Chess.com, and I only play with him. Here’s a business success I bet you didn’t see coming, I know I didn’t. Chess. Yes, the game that’s been around for about 1,500 years […]
On my national radio show, I mentioned that the average American spends $110 a month on streaming subscriptions. Add in $80+ for decent internet, and suddenly cable doesn’t look so evil. My inbox exploded: “Kim, how do I lower my streaming bill?” The short answer: You’re paying for stuff you’re not even watching. Let’s fix […]
Alert: This article is a spoiler for Unknown Number: The High School Catfish on Netflix. Imagine you’re a high school girl. Your phone won’t stop buzzing. It’s not friendly DMs, texts or social media notifications. Instead, hundreds of cruel, anonymous messages flood in, calling you names, threatening you, turning your friends against you and even […]
First about this image. I asked AI to “make a pic of me watching a movie,” and somehow it nailed my husband, our two goldens (even Bella the puppy!). But there’s something off. Can you spot it? At the end of the newsletter, rate it, then drop your guess, name and email. I’ll pick five […]
You know the feeling. You want to watch a specific movie, maybe an old favorite (hello, 1999’s The Mummy) or that buzzworthy show everyone’s talking about, but you have no clue where to find it. Instead of spending those precious moments actually watching it, you’re playing streaming detective: Netflix? Hulu? Prime Video? Is it free? […]
I’ll skip the wizards and superheroes. Give me a movie that looked into the future and actually saw something real coming before we even had Wi-Fi. These are the ones that got it right, eerily right. Some were made 10, 20, even more than 50 years ago, and they still hold up. If you haven’t […]
The average household coughs up nearly $70 a month on streaming subscriptions, and that’s before your internet tab. But let me tell you, I spend a lot more than that. It’s closer to $125. Add it all together, and congratulations, you’re back in 2011 with your overpriced cable bundle, except this time, there’s no DVR […]
I’m way more into movies based on true stories. Real people, real drama, that’s my kind of thing. You can keep the wizards and aliens. Give me a story where something unbelievable actually happened. I put together this list for you as proof that tech isn’t just lines of code or shiny gadgets. It’s ambition, […]
The other day on my national radio show, I mentioned that the average American drops $110 a month on streaming services. Add another $80+ for a solid internet connection, and suddenly old-school cable doesn’t look so bad. My inbox lit up with folks asking, “Kim, how can I lower my streaming bills?” I’m willing to […]
