Ice Cube Speaks Out on Why His ‘War of the Worlds’ Was So Weird

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-30 23:43:24

Amazon Prime’s War of the Worlds arrived without fanfare on the streamer this summer—until viewers discovered it and realized how delightfully scorn-worthy it was. Whether it was the big hero moment given to an Amazon delivery drone, or the sheer oddness of seeing H.G. Wells’ dynamic sci-fi epic acted out entirely on computer screens, it attracted the wrong kind of attention while offering a reminder of how fun it can be to witness a creative misfire set free on one of the biggest platforms arou

The ‘Futurama’ Binge Season Is Stuffed With Sly Commentary and Sci-Fi Delights

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-01 07:00:16

Futurama’s new season is being called its 13th by Hulu, but the show, which premiered in 1999, has had a stop-and-start presence over the years across Fox, Comedy Central, and straight-to-video movies. The show’s latest season—its third on Hulu—is again treading new ground, getting an all-in-one binge release. One consistent element across Futurama’s discombobulated history has been its loyal fans, so it seems unlikely that dropping the entire season in one go will be a strike against it. Still

Being Underweight Might Be Deadlier Than Being Overweight

If asked whether one would prefer to be too skinny or fat, chances are most people would reply that they’d rather be too skinny. Distorted standards of beauty and their propagation on social media are certainly to blame for this, in addition to the knowledge that being overweight typically brings along a host of health risks. A new study, however, suggests that being too thin can actually be deadlier. Researchers used health data to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and
