Agatha All Along just wrapped up a spectacular nine-episode run as strongly as it could have, easily cementing itself as the best series in the MCU (Loki‘s second season was far inferior to the first and just had a strong ending; fight me). The show, which saw Emmy nominee Kathryn Hahn reprising her role as the duplicitous and murderous witch Agatha Harkness, delivered a compelling, consistent, and engaging television project that not only offered a satisfying story, but also advanced the MCU, setting the stage for several new storylines and successfully expanding its corner of the ever-growing universe. In many…

Hulu rightfully gets a lot of attention for its stellar lineup of movies, but its TV shows are also very impressive. Although Fox no longer has a stake in Hulu, the entire fall lineup from that network and ABC are available to stream during the season. But this month’s picks for the three underrated shows on Hulu that you need to watch are going a little deeper. Our first choice is a show that was briefly one of Fox’s signature originals in the late ’90s, and it just made its Hulu debut this month. After that, we’ve got an unexpectedly…

Apple is nowhere to be seen in the data. The company announced its Apple Intelligence AI platform in June, and detailed it…

It’s been roughly two years since the launch of the iPhone 14 and its Emergency SOS via satellite feature. You might recall that during the first two years, Apple said it would be free to use but that it might require a subscription after that time, according to MacRumors. Last year, Apple extended the time limit by one more year, so you actually have until November 2025, when the trial period ends. That’s good news. The Emergency SOS feature is, quite literally, lifesaving. During April of this year, three university students lost their way in a canyon and used the…
