  © Rolling Stone Remember when the only streaming service you had was Netflix? Feels like forever ago when that was the case.

Subscription cycling is a phenomenon that is often associated with subscription-based services, particularly some of the bigger streaming services such as Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, and Amazon Prime Video. It refers to the pattern of customers subscribing and unsubscribing from a service on a regular basis. If you ..read more

Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan One of the things that Alec Baldwin & Harrison Ford share, is that they’re both working actors who despite getting older still get the occasional moment in the spotlights. For Ford it’s been by returning to classic roles in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Blade Runner 2049, for Baldwin it’s been through the comedy of 30 Rock and his impersonation of Donald Trump in Saturday Night Live. You might think that would result in two happy actors, but it appears Alec Baldwin still holds some resentment towards Ford. This is how Baldwin describes Ford ..read more

Our protagonist in the 2021 crime film Flinch is the most common hitman to see on film: not cruel, but with a heart of gold. His name is Joe Doyle, and he’s played by Daniel Zovatto (Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, Lady Bird).  Given that he’s a young man living at home with his mother (Cathy Moriarty of Casper & Raging Bull fame) it’s no surprise he ends up falling for the attractive witness to his latest crime (Australian actress Tilda Cabham-Hervey). Of course that doesn’t sit well with his employers. Flinch is the directorial debut of Cameron Van Hoy, and conceived as a love lett ..read more

When Green Book won the Academy Award for best picture at the 2019 Oscars, you might’ve heard the term “white savior film” being thrown around. The actual explanation of what these films are, is quite simple. To explain why they can be both critically lauded and controversial at the same time is a more complicated matter.  Let’s start with the easy part first: the definition. White savior films tell stories about marginalized/non-white people or communities who have to deal with hardship. The problematic part of these stories is the character at the center: a white protagonist. This prot ..read more

One of our favorite features on Netflix is how the ability to download Netflix movies to watch offline. Unfortunately it seems that a lot of people are still confused about how this works exactly. Because of this we’d like to run you through the setup! Netflix launched this part of their service in November 2016.

To someone who’s not an expert in the Godzilla mythos these are confusing times. Not only is there a new movie about the creature mutated by radiation coming out, there’s now also an HBO show about the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl airing. We’re not surprised a lot of our readers are asking how the two are connected, given Legendary Pictures’ efforts in expanding Godzilla’s MonsterVerse. Allow us to explain. The Godzilla movie currently showing in cinemas is Godzilla: King of the Monsters. It has no connection to the 1998 version with Matthew Broderick, and is instead a sequel to 2014’s equal ..read more

Lindsay Lohan in 2019 Given how much Lindsay Lohan has been written about in the press during her lifetime, it’s crazy to imagine she will only turn 33 in 2019. Although the actress started her Hollywood career at the young age of 6, she attracted wide attention. First as child actress, then as teen idol, and in the early 2010s as cautionary tale of how Hollywood can ruin a young actress. Since it has been fairly quiet around the actress in recent history, we decided to find out whatever happened to Lindsay Lohan. Although the actress made her first on-screen appearance as a 6-year-old in a 19 ..read more
