The title of the show is fairly self-explanatory: Margo (Elle Fanning), a single mother who dropped out of college, is having difficult time making ends meet.

So how does Margo tackle her money troubles? By starting an OnlyFans account. With help from her father, former wrestler Jinx (Nick Offerman), she builds an online alien persona that finds great success — and a healthy helping of cash.

The weirder a Netflix documentary is, the better. If it's about true crime, those docs tend to become streaming sensations. Just look at the overwhelming success of Making a Murderer and Don't F**k With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer. The same success rate can be said for the crazy-but-true genre, which features unbelievable stories captured on film. The latest hit for the streamer is Secret Mall Apartment.

What if your Navy SEAL uncle could help you defend yourself from your bullies?

That's the main conceit of Apple Original Films' upcoming movie Way of the Warrior Kid, starring Chris Pratt. The project is based off of former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink's best-selling novel of the same name and is directed by McG (Charlie's Angels, Terminator Salvation). But there's more to know about the movie where that came from. From cast to release date, here's what you need to know about Way of the Warrior Kid.

SEE ALSO: The 41 best Apple TV shows, ranked What's Way of the Warrior Kid about?

Way of the Warrior Kid focuses on struggling middle schooler Marc (Jude Hill), whose classmates bully him relentlessly. When his Navy SEAL uncle Jake (Pratt) comes to spend the summer with him and his mom Sarah (Linda Cardellini), Marc will get a chance to learn how to defend himself.

To help his nephew, Jake puts together "Operation Warrior Kid." Based on Jake's own military training, his program is less about teaching Marc to fight, and more about teaching him to embrace true courage. Along the way, Jake will wrestle with demons of his own, as both he and Marc discover their own bravery.

Nintendo officially has a new MVP in its hardware portfolio.

The venerable video game maker announced in its latest earnings report (via IGN) that the first Nintendo Switch is officially the best-selling piece of gaming hardware in Nintendo history. You can actually see the overall leaderboard on Nintendo's website, which confirms that the Switch has now sold 155 million units, putting it just ahead of the Nintendo DS, which previously led the pack with 154 million units sold.

SEE ALSO: I got to play the new Nintendo Switch Virtual Boy. It has the same problem it did in 1995.

To be clear, that does not make the Switch the best-selling piece of gaming hardware, period. That title still belongs to the PlayStation 2, which sits at around 160 million units sold. The Switch could potentially catch up to and even surpass the PS2 if given enough time, but the existence of the Switch 2 might throw a wrench in any future success for the older console.

As an aside, Nintendo also confirmed that the Switch 2 has sold 17 million units in less than a year, putting it well above the 13.5 million units the Wii U sold in its entire lifetime.

Speaking of the Wii U, the runaway success of the Switch didn't always feel like an inevitability. The oddly named follow-up to the Wii was the company's biggest failure since the Virtual Boy, and in the months prior to the Switch's launch in early 2017, it felt like Nintendo needed a hit badly.

Now that the Switch has established itself as the most successful brand in Nintendo history, we can also safely say it was the best idea the company ever had, at the exact time when Nintendo needed it the most.

Maybe someday the Switch 2 will get articles like this, too. Who knows?

Pickleball players, you may finally get your Challengers.

OK, OK, so maybe Apple TV's upcoming pickleball comedy The Dink won't be quite as sensual as Luca Guadagnino's tennis film. But it will bring pickleball to the movies, with the help of stars Jake Johnson and Mary Steenburgen, as well as director Josh Greenbaum, who helmed the brilliant comedy Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar.

SEE ALSO: 2026 movie preview: All the films you need to know about right now

From plot to cast to release date, here's what you need to know about The Dink.

What's The Dink about?

The Dink centers on former tennis prodigy Dusty Boyd (Johnson), now a washed-up coach at his father Chuck's (Ed Harris) country club. The venue is going through big changes, as the hot new sport of pickleball sweeps over the tennis courts. Chuck is against this supposed fad, and Dusty agrees, hoping to earn his dad's approval. However, when an old injury resurfaces and prevents Dusty from playing tennis, he gives pickleball a shot. And you know what? He likes it! With the help of his pickleball partner Candace (Steenburgen), Dusty could chart a new course for the club, and for himself.

Who is in the cast of The Dink?

Johnson and Steenburgen lead The Dink as a pair of pickleball partners. (Say that three times fast.) The rest of the cast includes Harris, Patton Oswalt, Chloe Fineman, Chris Parnell, and Aaron Chen, with Ben Stiller, who also produces.

Oh, and that's not all. Real-life tennis star Andy Roddick appears as himself, aka Dusty's childhood tennis nemesis.

New AI controls are coming to the Firefox browser, the Mozilla Corporation has announced — including the ability to turn off generative AI features entirely.

The open-source Firefox, in other words, has created what users overwhelmed by AI slop and hallucinations have been waiting for: the ability to totally turn off generative AI features.

"Mozilla’s approach to AI is grounded in the same principles that have long defined Firefox: real user choice and control," said Ajit Varma, Head of Firefox, in an email statement to Mashable. "At a time when much of the industry is moving toward closed, AI-driven ecosystems, we’re taking a different path, one that puts people, not platforms, in charge."

In a blog post announcing the update, the non-profit-owned tech company details how AI controls will give Firefox users the ability to "block current and future generative AI features." Users who want to block all generative AI features will also be able to toggle a setting called "Block AI enhancements."

The new AI controls will go into effect on Feb. 24 with the introduction of Firefox 148.

In a statement to Mashable, Varma said the AI controls feature was inspired by user feedback:

We’ve heard clearly from our users: some who don’t want AI, while others want the ability to decide exactly how and when it shows up in their browser. AI controls are how we deliver on that commitment. With these controls, users can choose whether to use AI-enhanced features in Firefox or block them entirely and stay in control as new AI capabilities are introduced over time.

Why Firefox's AI controls are so unusual Credit: Mozilla

Like it or not, we're still very much living in the ChatGPT era. As AI superfans embrace all things generative AI, many AI critics and skeptics are growing tired of the endless AI integrations. Tech giants like Samsung, Google, and Microsoft are integrating AI features into every facet of online life.

Laptops and PCs now come with Copilot pre-installed. Google has integrated AI overviews and AI Mode into its search tool and Gemini into Chrome. The latest mobile phones from Samsung are now "AI smartphones," with a full suite of generative AI features. Samsung is even putting AI in washing machines, TVs, and refrigerators, leaving no device untouched.

For users who want less artificial intelligence — or even, gasp, no artificial intelligence — the technology is increasingly difficult to avoid. For instance, there's no way to fully remove the AI assistant Copilot from Windows laptops.

But Firefox users will be able to control individual AI settings, including:

• Translations

• Alt text in PDFs

• AI-enhanced tab grouping

• Link previews

• AI chatbot in the sidebar

Mozilla also released a video showing how AI controls will work.

UPDATE: Feb. 3, 2026, 2:34 p.m. EST This article has been updated with a statement from Ajit Varma, Head of Firefox, sent to Mashable by email.

Elon Musk, the world's richest man, just combined his companies SpaceX and xAI, creating the most valuable privately-owned company in the world.

The reason? In a statement posted on SpaceX's website after the news broke on Monday, Musk said that the electricity demand for AI was too much and, in the long term, AI data centers will need to operate in space. Days before SpaceX acquired xAI (creating a company valued at an estimated $1.25 trillion), the company had already submitted filings to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) seeking permission to launch satellites that would operate as AI data centers in space.

But, is that really why SpaceX bought xAI?

While Musk may genuinely want to build AI data centers that orbit the Earth, some experts are skeptical that's the real reason for the merger. Tim Farris, the president of satellite and telecom industry research firm TMF Associates, called Musk's space data center plan "a Rorschach test for potential SpaceX investors, just like Optimus does for Tesla investors," in a post on the group's website.

"Both allow for near term demonstrations that look impressive but aren’t meaningfully revenue-generating, while allowing Musk to make long term projections of 'infinite' revenues that can be (nearly) infinitely postponed," Farris writes.

As experts point out, a merger allows the companies to pool their resources to help with their bottom line.

SpaceX is reportedly planning an IPO later this year, which could raise up to $60 billion at a $1.5 trillion valuation. 

Starlink, Musk's satellite internet service under the SpaceX umbrella, is the main revenue driver for the company. However, Farris points out that there are only so many rockets available to launch more satellites into space. 

If SpaceX is not spending on Starlink, what should SpaceX do with those billions? Musk's AI company xAI, on the other hand, needs money badly. Bloomberg recently reported that xAI, along with its AI chatbot Grok, is burning $1 billion every month as the AI arms race with OpenAI, Google, and Meta heats up.

But, as Farris mentions to CNBC, xAI provides SpaceX with a bonus as well. Despite xAI's money problem, AI is a hot investment trend right now, and potential investors looking to get involved could be wooed by the prospect of investing in Musk's AI company via a SpaceX IPO. This may be more of a draw for some investors, as SpaceX itself has consistently missed its revenue projections.

So, Musk might be saying AI data centers in space are the reason for the acquisition, but the deal could also give both SpaceX and xAI a boost.

Netflix's intense and unique extreme climbing extravaganza Skyscraper Live has been a big success for the streamer, attracting a reported 6.2 million views and currently sitting at No. 2 on the Netflix U.S. Top 10. The stakes were high, as the world's most famous free solo climber, Alex Honnold, Spider-Manned his way up the 1,667-foot Taipei 101 skyscraper, one of the world's tallest buildings—no ropes, no safety harness, no nothing.

Solid-state drives, especially NVMe drives, have become ubiquitous in newer builds because of their convenient size, blazing fast transfer speeds, and cost. If you're shopping for a drive, you may be tempted to try and "future-proof" your SSD, but you shouldn't. There are better ways to spend your money.

Lucky's first-look teaser promises criminal chaos on a major scale, with Lucky getting trapped under dead bodies and setting the occasional fire. As one character asks in the teaser, "How can someone so small cause so much trouble?"

According to Lucky, that trouble is the result of a series of bad decisions that have compounded over time. We're looking forward to learning just what, exactly, those decisions were.

Grindr is testing a new premium tier that could cost up to $499 per month, Business Insider reported.

The new EDGE membership will be powered by Grindr's proprietary AI stack, "gAI," according to a blog post by the app's chief product officer, AJ Balance.

"Grindr is becoming an AI-first company," Balance wrote. "EDGE is designed for users who want a more efficient, higher-signal experience — less scrolling, better conversations, and stronger follow-through."

EDGE features include:

• A-List, which the blog describes as "a recap of meaningful chats and missed connections." When Grindr spoke to Mashable in 2025 about the A-List beta, the company described it as profile and chat summaries, as well as a short list of best matches.

• Discover: personalized profile recommendations

• Profile Insights: compatibility data and some other context, like how often they respond and when they're active

Grindr has been testing EDGE in Australia and New Zealand, and it's now expanding the pilot to Canada and some U.S. cities. Because EDGE is an experiment, users may see different prices, the blog post states.

On X, multiple posts show the EDGE price as $219.99 for one week or $349.99 for one month. Online reports show the price ranging from $349.99 to $499.99 per month, according to Business Insider.

AI-powered features can be turned off in the app's Privacy Settings (though, if you're paying $220 a week for AI features, you probably won't).

2025 was another year of movie magic, but only 10 films made the cut in the Academy's eyes to earn spots on the Best Picture Oscar nominations list. We found narrowing the best movies of the year down to only 10 to be impossible, instead opting for a list of the top 25. So, of course, there were bound to be a ton of snubs (and some welcome surprises) this year. (Zero nominations for Wicked: For Good? Nothing for Chase Infiniti or Paul Mescal? Preposterous!)

Even though we're a bit flabbergasted that a few of our favorites didn't make the list, the ones that managed to nab the nomination are definitely worth watching.

Bugonia

The dynamic duo that brought us Poor Things — director Yorgos Lanthimos and actor Emma Stone — is back with Bugonia, a conspiracy caper that'll make you question everything. It also stars the fantastic Jesse Plemons as Teddy, a bike-riding beekeeper and conspiracy theorist who believes aliens live among us and are to blame for the current state of the world — one being the practical big pharma CEO Michelle Fuller (Stone). He and his cousin enact a plan to kidnap Michelle and uncover the truth.

Bugonia was one of Mashable's top 25 movies of 2025, coming in at No. 11, so we're not surprised the Academy gave it a nod for Best Picture. It also picked up nominations for Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actress in a Leading Role.

F1

Perhaps the biggest surprise on this list, F1: The Movie stars Brad Pitt as legendary Formula 1 driver Sonny Hayes. After nearly three decades, he comes out of retirement to mentor a young hotshot rookie (Damson Idris) and lead a struggling team to victory. While it didn't earn a spot on our favorite films of 2025 list, audiences were obsessed with the film, flocking to theaters and giving it glorious reviews (currently a 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes). Besides Best Picture, it also picked up nominations for Best Film Editing, Best Sound, and Best Visual Effects.

It stars Oscar Isaac as the titular doctor who is trying to overcome the childhood trauma of losing his mother (Mia Goth) by resurrecting an exquisite corpse (Jacob Elordi). As Mashable's Kristy Puchko writes in her review, "This misfit monster becomes a radiant analogy for self-love, as he is both horrid and beautiful, misunderstood and full of potential and love." Cracking the top five on our list of the best movies of 2025, we're happy the Academy gave Frankenstein its flowers. Beyond Best Picture, it's also nominated for Best Supporting Actor, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Sound, and Best Production Design.

Hamnet

Cracking the top 10 of Mashable's favorite films of 2025 list, Hamnet finds Academy Award–winning director Chloé Zhao back in the Oscar race. It's a heart-wrenching historical drama, based on the novel by Maggie O'Farrell, that offers a view of William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) and his mystical wife Agnes (Jessie Buckley) from a different lens. "When they lose their youngest son Hamnet (Jacobi Jupe), the pair weather their grief in vastly different ways," writes Mashable entertainment reporter Belen Edwards. Be sure you have a box of tissues nearby. In addition to its Best Picture nomination, Hamnet also earned six other nods, including Best Actress in a Leading Role, Best Costume Design, Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Casting, and Best Directing. Unfortunately, our favorite sad boy, Paul Mescal, was snubbed.

Marty Supreme

Directed by Josh Safdie and distributed by A24, Marty Supreme is a major contender this awards season. Chalamet already won the Golden Globe for his performance and is now hoping to grab his first Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role. In the sports comedy, he stars as Marty Mauser — a man with a dream to achieve greatness and bring ping pong to the masses. It also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma (aka Tyler, the Creator), Abel Ferrara, and Fran Drescher. Besides Best Picture and Best Actor, it's nominated for Best Production Design, Best Film Editing, Best Directing, Best Cinematography, Best Casting, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Screenplay.

One Battle After Another

Part political thriller, part parenthood comedy, Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another is an absolute gem. As someone who has a hard time watching movies over 1.5 hours, this three-hour journey had me glued to the screen from start to finish. It's inspired by Thomas Pynchon's novel Vineland, One Battle After Another, and follows Bob Ferguson (Leonardo DiCaprio) as an ex-revolutionary who's living off the grid with his teen daughter Willa (Chase Infiniti). When his former nemesis and military antagonist Col. Steven J. Lockjaw (Sean Penn) resurfaces and Willa goes missing, Bob is forced into action to find and protect her. It's our second favorite movie of the year, "not only for what it brings to cinema in terms of spectacle and spirit, but also what it has to say about America today," as Puchko puts it. It also scored the second-most Oscar nominations of any film: Best Picture, Best Directing, Best Supporting Actor (x2), Best Lead Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Score, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Casting, Best Cinematography, and Best Film Editing.

The Secret Agent

Directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, The Secret Agent was described by UK Editor Shannon Connellan as a "time-jumping political crime thriller" that follows Marcelo (Wagner Moura), a tech expert in his early 40s, who's "justifiably paranoid in his mission to escape his country's authoritarian regime." She cheered, "It's a heavy topic explored with humanity, boasting such a compelling script, impeccable acting, and striking 1970s aesthetic that it's impossible to look away." It also picked up nominations for Best Actor, Best Casting, and Best International Feature Film.

Sentimental Value

A riveting family drama, Sentimental Value follows the reunion of sisters Nora (Renate Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) with their estranged father Gustav (Stellan Skarsgård), a charismatic, once-renowned director. Gustav offers Nora a role in his hopeful comeback film, but when she turns it down, he gives the part to a young Hollywood actress (Elle Fanning). The story navigates the complicated relationships and dynamics that arise and dives deep into human emotions. Beyond Best Picture, it's also nominated in several other categories: Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress (x2), Best Original Screenplay, Best Lead Actress, Best Directing, Best Film Editing, and Best International Feature Film.

Sinners

Black Panther director Ryan Coogler is back with another smash hit. Puchko called it "easily one of the best movies of the year" back in April, and it ended up earning the top spot on our list in December. It's set in the 1930s Jim Crow-era South and stars Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as twin brothers who return to their hometown with the goal of setting up a juke joint. The juke joint's grand opening is disrupted by something ominous (and blood-thirsty). With bits of horror, history, and musical theater all sprinkled in, it's a genre-fluid movie in every sense of the term. Sinners took the Oscars by storm with a record-breaking 16 nominations. Essentially, every award it could be nominated for, it is.

Train Dreams

Based on Denis Johnson’s 2011 novella of the same name, Train Dreams follows a man's search for meaning as the 20th century arrives. Joel Edgerton stars as Robert Grainier, who grows into adulthood among the Pacific Northwest forests, where he helps expand the nation’s railroad empire. As Mashable's reviewer writes, "it's a steady, meditative, and at times devastating journey with many a conversation around the fire." It's also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Song.
