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.

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.
