I Wanted to Stream a Horror-Western, and Netflix Has the Best Movie That Does Both

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-04-06 10:00:03

When it comes to movies, my favorite genres are horror and Westerns. Yet, as a busy dad, there's never enough time in the day to sit and enjoy a film I want to watch. If I had it my way, I'd regularly plan double feature nights at home to get my fix of scares and cowboys. However, there's a six-year-old girl who lives under my roof, and my wife's tastes vastly differ from mine, so we keep it family friendly -- most of the time, anyway. Lo and behold, my birthday is approaching, and I am getting

AI tools are flooding the culture ecosystem — and no corner of the arts space is immune. In this series, we’re looking at the ways artists are embracing AI, pushing back on it, or trying their best to find an equilibrium with a new technology that’s both sweeping and destabilizing. We talk to perfumers questioning the looming automation of scent creation, fanfic writers pushing back on archive scrapers, and illustrators replacing the AI that once replaced them.

Here’s a closer look at the rig. But… why?

What's better than a surprise package from Amazon? A big chunk of money. After all the money you've spent at Amazon, it's only fair that the online shopping giant gives you some cash back, right?

One customer on LinkedIn said he received a refund of $1,800 for a smart TV bought in 2018. Others made similar comments about products bought long before.
