Hollywood is in trouble. The streaming boom that fueled a ton of production in the last decade-plus is gone, and lots of the remaining work is going overseas. No one really knows how AI will affect the movie and TV business, but there's lots of fear it won't be good. And barring something truly surprising, Warner Bros., one of Hollywood's most important movie and TV studios, is going to get swallowed up in the next year or so, which will mean even more consolidation.

Wolves are 18 points from safety, and their survival in the Premier League now looks a near certainty, with Arsenal next up at Molineux. Rob Edwards's side have won just one of their last ten and they now must face the in-form side in the division. Arsenal are still hoping to end their long wait for a Premier League title and have the chance to go seven clear of second-place Manchester City.

The biggest day in sports has arrived. Today, Sunday, February 8, 2026, the New England Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks for Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium. Beyond the gridiron battle, the entire world is waiting for the Bad Bunny halftime show, which is expected to be the most-watched musical performance of the year.

Paramount Skydance is planning to add a heavy dose of short-form video to its flagship streaming service, according to internal presentations and emails viewed by Business Insider. Dan Reich, the head of global product and design for Paramount+, emailed fellow executives in mid-January, asking to set up a meeting with Paramount product chief Dane Glasgow to discuss "Short Form Clips." "We are trying to figure out how to jump-start efforts to get a million clips into our Short Form UX as quickly as possible," Reich wrote in an email.

Roland just unveiled the Go:Mixer Studio, a powerful entry in the company's line of audio interfaces. This one promises to be a portable and affordable way to create high-quality recordings with a smartphone or PC. The biggest news here are the 12 input channels and six output channels. This means that users can record multiple instruments at once and even run the signal through outboard gear if so desired.

In today's hectic and fast-paced world, technology has made it possible to be in multiple places at once and greatly increased our productivity. However, missing out on a limited-time showing or live broadcast can still cause anger and frustration. There's a simple and obvious solution in the form of DVRs or Digital Video Recorders, so you can enjoy all the thrill of watching your favorite sports team without the annoying commercials.

In a non-Netflix world, a film like The Rip flashy, action-heavy, led by two household names should be available this weekend on the biggest high-format screens across the country. But then in that same world, at this particular time, it's doubtful that a film like this would even get made, granted a budget that's reportedly close to $100m, highly unusual for R-rated non-IP.

Wonder Project quietly enlisted a group of eight social media creators last year to help promote shows such as Amazon Prime Video's " House of David " and the upcoming family drama "It's Not Like That." The creators were given broad access to Wonder Project series, including early screeners, set visits, clips and other assets that are ready-made for creators to craft social media posts that help spread the word about the shows.

One Piece's Monkey D. Luffy joined the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade floats, the latest Demon Slayer film earned $780 million at the worldwide box office in 2025, and the animated musical KPop Demon Hunters (though not technically anime) became the most-watched original Netflix movie of all time. As someone who had no one to talk to growing up during the days of Naruto and Dragon Ball Z, it's tough to even process that the genre has reached mainstream status around the globe.

The promotion is live until January 21. Have a hankering for some audiobooks? Audible is holding one heck of a sale right now, giving users three months of access for $3. That's a dollar per month. This is something of a winter tradition for the Amazon-owned platform and the promotion ends on January 21. An Audible subscription grants one audiobook per month to keep. This can be selected from a massive catalog of new releases and bestsellers. The collection here has just about everything.

After testing the interest of sports fans in short-form content, Disney aims to bring brief bursts to a broader audience. The company aims to bring so-called "microcontent" to Disney+ in 2026, it announced Wednesday at CES, and in doing so joins a parade of traditional media purveyors working harder to court younger consumers who have grown more accustomed to swiping through Tik Toks, Reels and other attenuated attempts to entertain.

I was continueing my exploration of React server components when I stumbled upon on this article about progressive JSON. Dan Abramov describes a technique for streaming JSON from a server to a client in chunks, allowing the client to start rendering parts of the data before the entire payload has been received. This can significantly improve perceived performance, especially for large datasets.

Like many on Twitch, TheBurntPeanut streams for long stretches - often over seven hours at a time - while playing the popular game "Arc Raiders." It's not unusual for 75,000-plus concurrent fans to tune in to watch him dancing, chatting, and cursing out his competitors while gaming. The man behind TheBurntPeanut has not yet disclosed his name or appearance. That's a long-standing tradition for some gamers, who often show their screens instead of their own faces, and especially for VTubers.

"Chloe Zhao, you have reminded me of the power of telling a story and the journey that you can go on to touch the deepest parts of what it is to be alive, thank you," she said.

Despite now being fully owned and controlled by Amazon MGM Studios, James Bond movies have been irregularly available on Prime Video or other streaming services in recent months. Starting January 15th, though, 26 of the iconic British spy's cinematic adventures will begin streaming on Netflix, from the Sean Connery-starring Dr. No to the final Daniel Craig film, No Time to Die.

Catching up on shows in the age of streaming is a Sisyphean task. No matter how many weekends you spend bingeing the latest thing, there will always be something else everyone's talking about that you'll need to catch up on. But now that we're coming up on the end of 2025, it's time to look back and see what slipped through the cracks and is worth watching over the holidays
