The movie is based on the true-life story of Jessica Watson, who, at 16 years in 2009, sailed alone, continuously, and independently around the world for 210 days.Netflix has been working on its family and true-life inspiration movies, and True Spirit marks its newest addition. Sarah Spillane, who directed the film and worked on the screenplay, expressed her excitement in a statement. “I am happy and honored to be trusted with presenting Jessica’s special journey before the screen. Jessica’s determination and persistent fight to beat the records and attain her dream in a sector that men rule inspired me to adapt the story. That made her a unique inspiration for many, more so young women across the world.”

Hooray! Netflix fans can finally grab their popcorn bowl for the first part of You’s season four. The show is a psychological thriller that landed on Lifetime in September 2018 for the first ten-episode season before moving to Netflix in December 2018 as an Original series.

When streaming first hit the market, there was an unprecedented gold rush. Everyone knew that they had to find a way to lure customers into subscribing to the new medium. Cable TV and network television were still very much the norm, and they had amazing content--the kind that people would drool over. People weren't just going to hand over their credit cards for nothing. The industry's solution was to open their wallets as wide as possible. They poured billions into writers, big-name directors, and CGI artists, giving customers something that they could really sink their teeth into. It worked. Cable is dead. Network TV has gone the way of the landline, and streaming is the new norm. Things went on that way for several years, until Netflix announced their first drop in subscribers in more than a decade. Investors are skittish in general. The second someone mentions a loss, they run around like chickens with their heads cut off, shouting that the sky is going to crash down and kill us all any minute. They started calling it a streaming recession. If it could happen to Netflix, it could happen to all of the platforms, and everyone was convinced that it would. When this mindset takes hold, the market slumps. The stock market is very much a subjective entity. It's all based on popular outlook. Money stopped flowing. Shows were canceled left and right, and customers were left hanging. Real art--masterpieces, some the product of decades of planning--were completely abandoned, and it sucked. The biggest issue was HBO Max. Early in 2022, it was announced that Warner Bros, which owned the platform would be merging with Discovery Inc. It scared a lot of people both inside and outside the industry. The new CEO David Zaslav painted himself as a sort of fiscal guru. HBO Max had more than $23 billion worth of debt, and he was claiming that he could turn that into a $3 billion surplus. He knew all the right things to say to convince investors. They're a predictable bunch. They like pragmatism, lower budgets, and a sense of security--which always seems to be missing. He was a rockstar, and as soon as he took over he began doing away with the some of the network's best series. More than a hundred have been removed from the platform. That includes Westworld, one of their most popular series, and Raised by Wolves, which was known for bringing the HBO Max to life. It was everyone worst nightmare. People have been speaking out left and right, and they're not being heard. Cliffhangers are being left open. Loose ends were left alone. It's still happening too, and this mindset is still quite popular in Hollywood. They've convinced themselves that the gold rush is over, so it is, and now we have to be a lot pickier about what we watch. It's a crying shame.

Over the decades, romantic comedies have become rapidly ubiquitous, with multitudes gracing theaters and streaming platforms every year. While some classic rom-com like Four Weddings and a Funeral and When Harry Met Sally have established a huge cult following, other gems have received more underwhelming praises than deserved. This post covers the most underappreciated rom-coms of the 2010s that bear household names but somehow got swept under the rug. This era offered a plethora of hidden gems worth checking out this Valentine’s. Here are our 25 picks.

Warning: This article details the conclusion of The Handmaid's Tale franchise. The ending is powerful. You will thoroughly regret spoiling it. Countless women have shaped the course of human history, but they rarely get the recognition they deserve. Men will steal their ideas, take credit for their accomplishments, and build giant statues of themselves. They'll hire scribes to write exaggerated stories about their greatness, and relegate women to the kitchen and bedroom where they belong. Women will watch, helpless to right the wrongs that have been committed against them. When the entire world believes that you're inferior, imbalanced, and weak, there's no convincing anyone otherwise. It didn't make sense to get angry. That was simply the way things were. But some women can't stay quiet. They won't be silenced. They're too powerful, too intelligent; they can't conform, and they shouldn't have to. Their stories often end in tragedy. There's runaway brides who wouldn't accept their station, concubines and slaves that wouldn't perform their duties. Many just wanted bodily autonomy--no unwanted sex, no forced marriages, no servitude. They weren't toys to be played with they were people, and when they asserted their rights, they were often killed.
