If you’ve been enjoying your Disney+ subscription, and bragging about it to your friends who haven’t yet signed up for the service, you can be the ultimate friend and get them the gift of Disney+ with newly announced Disney+ subscription cards.

Next week’s episode of The Mandalorian will have an “exclusive sneak peek” at Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, so if you want to give Disney+ as a gift ahead of Christmas, I don’t think your intended recipient will mind at all. In fact, I’d go so far as to say they’d be thrilled.

Marvel’s Runaways: Season 3 Review

This is a spoiler-free review for all 10 episodes of Marvel’s Runaways: Season 3 – which was released Friday, December 13 on Hulu.

Marvel’s Runaways wraps up its run with a third and final season that wisely bounces between two separate adventures (three, if you include the finale), avoiding much, but not all, of the repetitive stodginess of Season 2.

Format-wise, Runways isn’t able to fully spread its wings as a binge. Hulu dosed out its first season on a weekly basis and that worked a lot better given the huge cast and the rotating door of soapy twists and turns, from enormous extraterrestrial reveals to teenage love triangles. Season 2 faltered by keeping our heroes in the same Gibborim rut and by releasing the entire season at once, which caused the story, between the teens and the parents, to easily became a blur of bickering and backstabbing. It became harder to care about who didn’t like who from episode to episode.

Fans React to Xbox Series X

With Xbox Series X officially revealed, fans have started reacting to Microsoft’s next-gen console, from its purported specs to its… unique design.

Last night during The Game Awards 2019, Microsoft officially unveiled Xbox Series X, previously codenamed Project Scarlett, which Xbox head Phil Spencer claims will be the “fastest, most powerful Xbox,” and setting a new bar for performance, speed, and compatibility. Microsoft also revealed Series X’s console design: A black, minimalist, upright rectangular prism that stands in contrast with some of Microsoft’s earlier Xbox designs.

Naturally, now that fans know the next-gen Xbox’s name and have seen what it looks like, they have thoughts. Let’s dig into what fans think of Xbox Series X, and how they immediately started poking fun at its decidedly different design.

2019: The Year in Tech

2019 was an active, if a bit underwhelming, year for tech. As the final year in the current console generation’s life cycle, 2019 finally brought us some concrete bits of information about the PlayStation 5 and, to a lesser degree, Xbox Scarlett. Nintendo launched the smaller and more portable Switch Lite, as well as the innovative Ring Fit Adventure, 2019’s answer to Wii Fit – with a surprisingly robust RPG component to boot. Meanwhile, foldable screens started to show up on phones and tablets, Google Stadia proved that game streaming can work – eventually, and VR truly started reaching the masses. Here’s the biggest tech stories of 2019.

Samuel L. Jackson Is the New Voice of Amazon Alexa

Amazon has chosen a new voice for Alexa, and it’s none other than Samuel L. Jackson. The Hollywood legend will be the first celebrity voice featured on Alexa and will offer both clean and explicit versions.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’d be like to have the iconic Nick Fury give you the weekly weather report, hop on your Alexa and give it a try. To enable Jackson on your Alexa device, simply say, “Alexa, introduce me to Samuel L. Jackson.”

From there, you’ll be able to choose either a clean or explicit option — however, the more crass version of Jackson will cost you $0.99 (for a limited time, then it will be raised to $4.99). If you decide against your initial selection, you can always change it in your Alexa settings.

How the Star Wars Prequels Influenced Rise of Skywalker

Before the new trilogy was announced, Star Wars was in a weird place. The prequel trilogy directed by George Lucas had landed badly with fans of the originals, and it was unclear what the future of Star Wars was going to be. And so, when the sequel trilogy was announced following the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney in 2012, the excitement was palpable – and Abrams seemed to capitalize on this by going out of his way to recapture the spirit of the original movies in his first Star Wars movie, 2015’s The Force Awakens.

Since Disney’s reboot of the franchise, many fans have started to reassess the prequel trilogy, while kids who grew up with Episodes I to III look back on the films with nostalgia. For all their faults, it seems as though the prequels have found a new place in the hearts of Star Wars fans. During a promotional visit to Tokyo for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, director JJ Abrams told IGN Japan that working on the franchise gave him a new respect for “how easy George

Netflix’s 6 Underground Review

6 Underground is cartoonishly raucous explosion porn from mayhem maestro Michael Bay that feels like a film that was made over a decade ago and was just somehow recently unearthed by Netflix. It’s a testament to star Ryan Reynolds and his seemingly effortless charisma because without him the movie would have been a snow-blind mess.

Overstuffed with countless car crashes and numerous “booms” and “louds,” 6 Underground owes pretty much any watchable aspects to Reynolds and his charm. And even with Reynolds, the film is overlong, easily trespassing into tedium at the halfway point.

The premise, in itself, feels very Avengers-esque, in the sense that it centers on a rogue team of specialized operatives who will happily cross borders and waters to right egregious wrongs. But 6 Underground is an argument both for and against the Sokovia Accords, as Reynolds plays a Tony Stark-level billionaire genius who’s decided to fake his death, become a ghost, and pull off grand vigilante-style heists and hits with operatives he’s recruited (and ghosted) in order to punish powerful evildoers (in this case, the dictator of Turgistan).
