Raanan Hershberg is a comic’s comic, known for sharp, long-form premises, ruthless self-awareness, and a distinct refusal to bend entirely to the internet’s whims. Over years grinding through the New York stand-up scene, making specials like Brave and Jokes from the Underground, and co-hosting Your Favorite Movie Sucks, he has built a reputation for comedy that digs into the messy, uncomfortable gray areas of modern life.

In this in-depth conversation, Hershberg sits down to discuss the development of his latest hour, Did You Like Me?, the modern reality of social media virality, and why protecting your artistic integrity matters more than ever.

In this episode, Hershberg takes a sobering look back at early 2000s "punching-down" material, the guilt of edgy comedy, and turning domestic arguments into sharper, honest material.

Hershberg then dives into the illusion of truth in stand-up, why audiences naturally suspend disbelief, how breaking the fourth wall creates bigger laughs, and the art of admitting when a joke is a lie.

Hershberg also addresses the dreaded algorithm trap: why chasing short viral clips compromises a comic’s voice, the line between smart promotion and writing for social media, and why virality often comes from people completely misunderstanding the joke.

Catch Raanan Hershberg performing his hour Did You Like Me? live at the 2026 New York Comedy Festival and watch his specials—including his award-winning short film Memory Room—available now on YouTube.

I spend a good chunk of my day in a browser, jumping between research, source-checking, writing in a CMS, and keeping up with emails. Chrome has been my home base for years, so switching browsers wasn't exactly something I was looking to do.

Raking in $626 million domestically and $1.8 billion globally, Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Homer's ancient Greek epic poem became his highest-grossing film of all time, as well as Universal Pictures'. Mashable Entertainment Reporter Belen Edwards called it "nothing short of masterful" in her review. Other critics and audiences alike have raved about it (it currently holds a 94 percent on Rotten Tomatoes). I can't say I'm surprised, though. With an all-star cast that features Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Samantha Morton, Zendaya, John Lenguizamo, and Charlize Theron, it was bound to be a cinematic phenomenon.

Check out the official trailer below.

The beloved adaptation is set to return to IMAX screens in December for those who want to experience it again in its full glory, but if you don't want to wait, you can catch it from your couch starting Nov. 17. Here are all the streaming details you need to know to watch The Odyssey.

How to watch The Odyssey at home Credit: Universal Pictures

The Odyssey will be available to watch at home this month. You can preorder at Amazon, Fandango, or Apple TV. If you can wait a little longer, it will also be streaming. See all the details below.

Buy or rent it on digital

The Odyssey is set to make its digital debut on Nov. 17, 2026. This means you can buy the movie from on-demand retailers for $19.99 (or likely rent it for around $14.99).

Here are some quick links to preorder the film on digital. Note that these prices will likely drop a few weeks after its digital debut.

• Apple TV — preorder for $19.99

• Fandango — preorder for $19.99

• Prime Video — preorder for $19.99

When and where is The Odyssey streaming?

While no specific streaming date has officially been announced, we can make an educated guess that The Odyssey will make its streaming debut on Peacock in February. We'll update this story with the latest information once it's revealed.

Christopher Nolan’s last film, the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer, debuted on digital exactly four months after its theatrical release. The Odyssey has followed its exact same timeline so far. If it follows a similar streaming schedule as well, the director's latest epic will hit Peacock in early February 2027.

The best Peacock streaming deals

Peacock subscriptions start at $8.99, but the cheapest tier won't grant you access to theatrical releases. Instead, you'll need at least Peacock Premium to watch The Odyssey when it's released. A Premium subscription will run you $12.99 per month. Fortunately, there are a few different ways you can save some money on a subscription, which we've rounded up below.

Best Peacock deal: Save up to $39 on an annual subscription Opens in a new window Credit: Peacock Peacock Premium annual subscription $129.99 per year or $199.99 per year (save 17%) Get Deal

The best way to save money on a streaming subscription on any given day is by opting for the annual plan instead of the monthly plan. Paying for a year of Peacock Premium or Premium Plus up front saves you up to $39.89 per year.

Peacock Premium (with ads) costs $12.99 monthly, which adds up to $155.88 for 12 months. If you pay for the annual plan, however, it'll only cost you $129.99 — a savings of $25.89. Likewise, the Premium Plus plan costs $19.99 per month, which adds up to $239.88. The annual plan, on the other hand, costs just $199.99 — a savings of $39.89. You'll essentially be getting two months of streaming for free by opting for an annual subscription.

Best Peacock deal for Xfinity customers: Free Peacock Premium for eligible accounts Opens in a new window Credit: Peacock / Xfinity Peacock Premium Free for select Xfinity customers Learn More

Free is our favorite price. If you're an Xfinity customer and have yet to check if you get Peacock for free, I highly recommend heading to Xfinity.com for more details. Here's a brief breakdown:

• Xfinity Internet customers who are Diamond or Platinum Xfinity Rewards members can get Peacock Premium for free by redeeming a reward for it. Sign in at xfinity.com/rewards and choose Peacock as a reward. Then, wait for your email (it may take a few hours) with instructions on activating the offer.

• NOW TV customers can also receive Peacock Premium as part of their service.

• New customers with Xfinity Internet and an X1 TV Box, Flex streaming TV Box, or a Xumo Stream Box from Xfinity can get Peacock Premium for free for six months.

Both students and young adults (ages 18 to 24) can slash $6 per month off a Peacock Premium subscription all year long. Verify your student status or age through SheerID and generate a unique promo code to knock the price down to just $6.99 instead of $12.99. You can renew the offer yearly if you still meet the criteria, but you may have to prove verify your student status or age each time.

Best for first responders, medical professionals, military, and teachers: Save $5/month Opens in a new window Credit: Peacock Peacock Premium for First Responders and Medical Professionals $7.99 per month (save $5 per month) Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: Peacock Peacock Premium for Military $7.99 per month (save $5 per month) Get Deal Opens in a new window Credit: Peacock Peacock Premium for Teachers $7.99/month (save $5 per month) Get Deal

First responders, medical professionals, teachers, and military personnel can all unlock Peacock Premium subscriptions (with ads) for a discounted rate of $7.99 per month by verifying professional status through SheerID. If you continue to meet the verification qualifications, then you can renew your subscription at a discounted rate each year. Prices are subject to change.

Best for Instacart users: Free Peacock Premium with Instacart+ subscription Opens in a new window Credit: Instacart / Peacock Peacock Premium annual subscription Free for Instacart+ subscribers (save $129.99/year) Get Deal

An Instacart+ membership ($99 per year) unlocks a free Peacock Premium subscription ($129.99 per year value) on top of free grocery delivery, lower fees, and credit back on eligible pickup orders. You'll even get a free two-week trial to kick things off. The cost of Instacart+ is already a better deal than Peacock Premium for the year.

Pro tip: Sign up for your trial of Instacart+ when The Odyssey debuts on Peacock so you can watch it for free. Just be sure to cancel before you're charged the full amount. Setting a calendar alert is highly recommended.

Best for Walmart shoppers: Free Peacock Premium for Walmart+ members Opens in a new window Credit: Walmart Walmart+ $98 per year Get Deal

A Walmart+ membership is one of the best ways to score streaming services for free. A $98 Walmart+ subscription unlocks either Peacock Premium or Paramount+ Essential as a free perk — and you can switch every few months. Since Peacock Premium is a $129.99 value, the $98 Walmart+ membership is already a better deal than paying for Peacock on its own. With Walmart+, you'll also get free shipping with no order minimums, fuel discounts, a Scan & Go checkout tool, and early access to deals during Walmart's major shopping events.

My husband and I can’t seem to agree on one thing whenever we’re in the car: the infotainment interface. He’s firmly on Team CarPlay, while I prefer Android Auto and keep finding reasons to defend it. I use it for Google Maps and Spotify on almost every drive, so I notice even the small things that could improve the experience. I’ve often wished Google would refresh the interface instead of making us stick with the same familiar layout.

Nintendo appears to have made the right call in remaking The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2, at least from a hearts-and-minds perspective.

The visually resplendent remake, which hit store shelves last week, has already set two records on Metacritic in just a few days. For starters, it has the highest aggregate score (96 out of 100) of any game to be released in 2026 so far. That was established when reviews went up a week ago, though, so it's not necessarily news at this point. However, as Forbes noted, Ocarina for Switch 2 has achieved another gaudy Metacritic milestone: It's now the highest-rated game by user scores in the site's history, with an all-time record score of 9.6 out of 10.

SEE ALSO: 6 good, bad, and weird changes in 'The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time' for Switch 2

For reference, the original Ocarina of Time for Nintendo 64 is the highest-rated game by critics in the history of Metacritic, with a score of 99 out of 100, a record it's held for a long time.

More than 8,750 users have submitted scores for Ocarina on Metacritic, so that score isn't necessarily being affected by a small sample size. It should absolutely be noted and emphasized that Metacritic does not require a verification of purchase for a user to submit a review score, so it's theoretically possible that some people are adding numbers to the mix in either direction without having played the game.

The Ocarina remake has also only been in the general public's hands for a little more than four days at the time of publication, so these takes are coming in piping hot, and people could change their minds over time.

We also would be remiss not to mention that Grand Theft Auto VI launches on Nov. 19, so there's a chance (albeit a small one) that Ocarina doesn't sit atop the user review throne for very long.

The days of huge desktop PCs are over for everyone, but gamers and most buyers are moving to mini PCs, like the Acemagic K1, which pack a punch despite their compact size. Now's the time to replace that old desktop with the Acemagic K1 mini PC, now 26% off with a limited-time Amazon deal.

Microsoft has been around for decades, dating back to 1975 with its BASIC software. BASIC was written for the Altair 8800 microcomputer built by MITS (Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems). Bill Gates and Paul Allen created the software when MITS approached them, needing a programming language for their personal computers. Back then, the brand was referenced as Micro-Soft in a letter from Bill Gates to Paul Allen. The brand had not been established yet.

Over the weekend, two of my neighbors put up their Christmas lights. One even did so with the garage door open and Christmas music tunes playing that filled the cul de sac. I'm not upset about the Christmas vibes in November, but even if you think it's too early, now is a great time to consider if your lights need an upgrade this year before the selection gets picked over.

Lucky for us, Amazon has tons of Govee Christmas lights on sale for both outside the house and inside. Plus, the sale extends to Govee's permanent outdoor lights which means this could be the last time you have to climb onto the roof to get them on the house.

Well ahead of Black Friday, check out these Govee deals at Amazon to get a head start on the holiday cheer.

Go with the classic icicle lights this winter. The 33-foot strand of Govee Icicle Lights has 400 LEDs and over 78 preset scenes for holidays beyond Christmas. Plus, the IP67 waterproof rating means you can leave them up year-round if you'd like.

Since you can control the lights with the Govee app or with voice command, you'll never have to go outside in the dark to turn them on.

The two strands work as one to wrap around your tree. Each of the 20 ornament lights projects a snowflake display and Govee makes it easy to decide on colors thanks to the 130 preset scenes.

In addition to the endless lighting scenes in the Govee app, you can also set the lights to sync with music for a great holiday party.

Disposable cans of compressed air are a frustrating way to maintain your electronics. They always run out when you need them most, leaving propellant residue on your sensitive components.

One of the best things about this time of year is that all of our favorite TV models start dropping to record-low prices. LG's most popular OLED TV for 2026, in particular, has hit an all-time low well ahead of Black Friday. If your TV has taken its last breath and you can't wait a few more weeks, the LG C6 OLED is definitely worth a look.

As of Nov. 9, both Amazon and Best Buy have the LG 55-inch C6 OLED 4K TV for only $999.99. Originally listed at $1,999.99, that's 50% off its actual price. It's currently down to the same sale price as the 48-inch model, which basically means you'll get seven extra inches of screen real estate for free (girl math, duh).

Both retailers also have larger sizes of the OLED TV at their lowest prices of the year as well. If you need something a little bigger, the 65-inch model is down to $1,399.99 from $2,699.99 and the 77-inch is down to $1,999.96 from $3,699.99.

The LG C6 is our favorite OLED TV for most people. It features impeccable image quality with inky black levels and stark contrast that can transform a typical movie night or sports game into a theatrical experience. Compared to its predecessor, it offers higher peak brightness, more vibrant colors, enhanced audio, and a better refresh rate (165Hz versus 144Hz).

OLED TVs are expensive, so any chance you have to save a significant amount of cash on one, you should take. With a 50% price drop, this deal on the LG C6 is an outstanding value.

If you're looking for something a bit more budget-friendly, be sure to follow along with our guide to the best TV deals as we inch closer to Black Friday.

I have seen plenty of people run into problems with refurbished laptops. Sometimes, reinstalling Windows reveals the machine is still enrolled in an organization’s management system, and it gets locked again. Other times, buyers discover that the laptop was stolen or has some kind of firmware or administrative lock. I have been fortunate enough to avoid these problems myself, but my experience with refurbished homelab hardware has been considerably more interesting.

Nathan Fielder and Louis Theroux in the same room?

For fans of deadpan interviews that can verge on the awkward and surreal, it's a great day.

Theroux, whose recent documentary Inside the Manosphere made a splash on Netflix, shared an image of himself having coffee with Fielder on Instagram.

"Catching up with this guy. Apparently he has a new documentary out," wrote Theroux, referring to Fielder's much-hyped Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything. "Has anyone heard anything about it?"

The excitement in the comment section was palpable.

So, what does it mean? Are the two working on something together?

Well, if they are, then the most likely format would probably be Theroux's weekly podcast. But what's just as likely is the two could simply be meeting up for chat — Fielder and Theroux have in fact been in conversation before for an article for Interview Magazine, and it's clear that they're fans of each other's work.

SAVE $802: As of Nov. 9, the Samsung 55-inch S90H OLED 4K TV has dropped down to $1,197.99 at Amazon from its list price of $1,999.99. That's 40% off and matches its lowest price to date.

Though we're still a couple of weeks away from Black Friday, we're already smack dab in the middle of the best season to buy a new TV. You can certainly wait around for the big day, but it's not required, as this Samsung S90H OLED 4K TV is already down to its lowest price ever.

As of Nov. 9, the Samsung 55-inch S90H OLED 4K TV is down to just $1,197.99 at Amazon. Its original list price is $1,999.99 (though Amazon sells it a little short), which means you'll save a grand total of $802 or 40%. According to our favorite price-tracking tool, this beats its previous record-low by about $100.

The S90H is Samsung's mid-range OLED from its 2026 lineup — just a step down from our favorite OLED TV of the year (the S95H) and a step above the entry-level S85H. While most TV upgrades from one year to the next are generally pretty minimal, the S90H was a decent jump from its predecessor, as Ty Pendlebury from Mashable's sister site CNET points out. "The real reason to buy the S90H over the previous S90F is the addition of the antireflective coating," he writes.

The anti-reflective coating helps eliminate those pesky glares and reflections while watching TV in aggressive lighting. It also bumped up the brightness from the previous generation, improved lag times, and upgraded the refresh rate to 165Hz.

If you don't feel like waiting around for Black Friday, you can rest assured you're getting the best price to date on the Samsung 55-inch S90H OLED TV. Plus, if you upgrade now, you can start watching all of your favorite holiday movies in top-notch quality.

For anyone who has already pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto VI, it's about to take up a huge amount of space on your console's hard drive in the very near future.

That's because it's almost time to preload the most anticipated game of the year. If you don't normally engage with games this way, it means that anyone who has purchased GTA 6 will be able to install the full game on their hard drive before release. According to Rockstar, preloading will work slightly differently on PS5 and Xbox consoles. For PS5 owners, preloading will begin on Tuesday, Nov. 10 at midnight local time wherever you are. For Xbox players, preloading starts at 12 a.m. GMT on Tuesday and runs simultaneously for everyone.

SEE ALSO: GTA 6 release date: Is there early access? The soonest anyone can play.

To be clear, preloading the game early does not mean you can play it early, unless you set your console to New Zealand time. It will be locked and unplayable until it's officially out in your region.

Rockstar also confirmed in that post that the game will take up to 212GB of space on your hard drive, so start deleting games right now if you need to.

Obsidian is arguably one of the best apps out there for taking notes and organizing your knowledge base, but it comes with its fair share of imperfections. One of my main qualms with Obsidian is how difficult it can be to sync notes between my phone, desktop, and other devices. Sure, you could pay $4/month to get sync support, but I'm a cheapskate.

When the NVIDIA Shield TV Pro launched at $199 back in 2019, it was considered a steep premium compared to regular Android TV streaming sticks. However, it proved its worth by staying relevant for over half a decade, much like our living room televisions. I was drawn to the Shield TV for its hardware-level AI upscaling, which enhances standard 1080p content, and lossless audio passthrough, making it an excellent local Plex client. The price was worth paying, considering I didn't need to buy a very expensive television to enjoy these enhancements.
