The Hunt for Red October (1990)

Before Jack Ryan became a hit TV show on Prime Video, the character first appeared in John McTiernan’s submarine thriller, The Hunt for Red October. At the height of the Cold War, Soviet naval captain Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) steers his impressive submarine, Red October, toward the eastern shores of the United States. The U.S. military believes Ramius is preparing a nuclear strike on American soil.

However, CIA analyst Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) believes Ramius is defecting from the Soviet Union to the United States. Jack is steadfast in his beliefs and, despite opposition from his superiors, sets out to prove his theory by whatever means necessary. The Hunt for Red October plays like a tense game of chess — every move from Ryan and Ramius takes you one step closer toward an inevitable conclusion that could end in disaster.

Mean Girls (2004)

Get in, loser; we’re watching Mean Girls. After spending most of her life in Africa, teenager Cady Heron (Lohan) moves to Illinois and enters her toughest environment yet: high school. The shy Cady has a rough first day, but she eventually makes friends with outsiders Janis Ian (Lizzy Caplan) and Damian Leigh (Daniel Franzese). Janis and Damian teach Cady about the high school’s social hierarchy, starting with the popular Plastics and their leader, Regina George (Rachel McAdams).

When the Plastics invite Cady into their clique, Janis convinces Cady to infiltrate the group and destroy them from the inside. Cady goes along with the plan, but as she spends more time with the Plastics, she ends up enjoying her moment in the spotlight. Mean Girls’ secret weapon is writer Tina Fey, who pens one of the funniest and smartest satires about high school.

Hush (2016)

Before he created an army of horror shows on Netflix, Mike Flanagan crafted a quiet (pun intended) slasher in Hush. Maddie Young (Kate Siegel) — a deaf and mute writer — lives in a secluded house in the woods away from the hustle and bustle of New York City. One night, a masked killer (John Gallagher Jr.) selects Maddie as his next victim. Despite Maddie’s pleas for her life, the man plans to torment and kill her.

While she can’t hear the man coming, Maddie tries to use the rest of her senses and ingenuity to outsmart the killer. The ensuing cat-and-mouse game is a gripping thriller that flies through its 81-minute runtime. It’s one of the more unique home invasion thrillers of the last decade.

Stream Hush on Tubi.

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.

Christopher Nolan’s personal take on smartphones is surprisingly practical
Christopher Nolan says not owning a smartphone helps him think better
Christopher Nolan sits in front of an IMAX camera.

Christopher Nolan has spent his career embracing cutting-edge filmmaking technology while resisting one of the most common gadgets on the planet: the smartphone. 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.
