Both plans only cost $3 per month for the first two months. Starting in the third month, Essential, the ad-supported plan, moves to $8 per month, and Paramount+ with Showtime, the commercial-free tier, increases to $13 per month. This special deal ends on December 4.

Smile 2 stars Naomi Scott as Skye Riley, a pop superstar about to set off on a world tour. However, Skye crosses paths with the Smile Entity, the evil curse that causes people to unleash sinister grins. With the smiles come death, sometimes in the most brutal fashion. Skye’s life spirals out of control, and the only way to survive is to confront her past trauma or face the deadly consequences.

Besides Scott, Smile 2 stars Rosemarie DeWitt, Kyle Gallner, Lukas Gage, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Peter Jacobson, Raúl Castillo, Dylan Gelula, and Ray Nicholson.

Smile 2 was written, directed, and produced by Parker Finn, the architect behind 2022’s Smile. Producers include Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey, Isaac Klausner, Parker Finn, and Robert Salerno.

Released in October 2024, Smile 2 finished first at the domestic box office with an opening weekend haul of $23 million. To date, Smile 2 has grossed over $137 million against a $28 million budget. In a two-star review, Digital Trends’ Alex Welch wrote, “Smile 2 hits higher highs than its 2022 predecessor, but it ultimately does little more or better than its smaller parent film.”

Smile 2 is also available to rent or purchase on digital services.

Spotify is rolling out a new AI-powered conversational feature that lets Premium users talk directly to the app about what they want to hear. Users can type or speak a request and refine the results through follow-up questions instead of manually searching for a song, podcast, or audiobook.

The feature is available from Spotify’s Home and Now Playing screens and works much like a personal audio assistant. It can choose what plays, answer questions about the current track or album, recommend something new, and look through your listening history to provide more personalized responses.

The Oscar-winning director behind Oppenheimer, Inception, and the upcoming The Odyssey says his decision isn't about rejecting technology altogether. It's about protecting something he believes has become increasingly rare - time to think.

In an interview with The Telegraph ahead of the premiere of The Odyssey, Nolan explained that he still doesn't own a smartphone, despite living in a world where QR codes, digital tickets, and messaging apps have become everyday necessities. His reasoning, however, is far more practical than philosophical.
