As a dedicated Netflix fan, I’ve recently learned some exciting yet disheartening news. Just a few weeks after rumors surfaced about Netflix potentially launching a free ad-supported version in Europe and Asia, it appears that U.S. viewers seeking an ad-free experience will need to dig deeper into their pockets. During their latest earnings call, Netflix announced that the $11.99 per month basic plan is being phased out. This means that subscribers like me will only have two choices: pay $6.99 for the ad-supported tier or shell out at least $15.49 for the standard ad-free option. While I’m all for innovation, this price hike leaves me feeling a bit squeezed.

I was captivated by how “The Proposition” portrayed Australia’s transformation from a penal colony in the 1820s to a permanent British settlement, with an intent to control this seemingly barren continent. Nick Cave, both screenwriter and rock musician, brought to life this era, just two decades prior to Australian independence, when the Outback bore striking similarities to the Old West of the same time. Lawmen and outlaws clashed against a backdrop that blended a Mars-like terrain with towns that mirrored their American counterparts.

As a curious tech fan this week, I’ve been keeping a close eye on Alphabet, Google’s parent company. Reports suggest that a potential acquisition could soon take place there, which might just turn out to be the biggest deal in Alphabet’s history. Meanwhile, Elon Musk made an exciting announcement: SpaceX and X are planning to pack up and move their offices from California all the way to Texas.

Over the past few weeks, Manny Jacinto has caused a stir on the Internet with his exceptional portrayal of Qimar in Disney+’s “The Acolyte.” With so much controversy surrounding recent Star Wars content, it’s rare to find more admiration than criticism. However, Manny Jacinto’s character has become a new favorite bad-boy among fans. Some have even compared him to Kylo Ren or shared steamy photos of his shirtless scenes. Now, the actor is set to broaden his fanbase with his role in the long-awaited “Freaky Friday 2.” In a recent interview, Jacinto spoke about his participation in Disney’s upcoming film and the resurgence of the “Lohanaissance,” while also discussing why he decided to join the project.
