How to watch the 2026 Golden Globes live with or without cable (and maybe for free)
Awards season is upon us once again after another huge year for film and television. The Golden Globe Awards will kick things off this weekend, giving us a little taste of what's to come. Stars will flock to Los Angeles, where the best in movies and TV will be honored for their work in 2025.
The awards have comedian Nikki Glaser back once again to solo host Hollywood's "party of the year." There's also plenty of first-time nominees again this year — including Dwayne Johnson, Chase Infiniti, Rhea Seehorn, Kevin Hart, Britt Lower, and more.
If you want to be a part of Hollywood's big night and see your favorite stars shine, here's everything you need to know to watch the 2026 Golden Globes live.
When are the Golden Globe Awards?The 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards will take place on Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026, at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. You can tune in live at 8 p.m. ET.
Who is nominated at the Golden Globes?Marlon Wayans and Skye P. Marshall announced the 83rd Golden Globes nominees in a live CBS broadcast on Dec. 8. Paul Thomas Anderson's ambitious epic One Battle After Another earned the most nominations with nine, followed by Joachim Trier's Sentimental Value with eight and Ryan Coogler's Sinners (Mashable's favorite movie of 2025) with seven.
On the TV side of things, The White Lotus leads nominations with six, followed by Adolescence with five, and Only Murders in the Building and Severance both with four.
Check out the full list of nominees.
How to watch the Golden Globes live without cableThanks to a five-year deal locked in last year between the Golden Globe Awards and CBS, the awards show will be broadcast on the network live. If you don't have cable, however, you'll be able to livestream the show on Paramount+ Premium only. The Paramount+ Essential plan will only get you access to the on-demand broadcast the next day after the awards air.
Paramount+ Premium will run you $12.99 per month, while Paramount+ Essential is just $7.99 per month.
Another option? Sign up for a live TV streaming service like YouTube TV or Fubo. These services offer live streaming of local channels, including CBS, so you can catch the broadcast as it's happening. They cost a lot more than Paramount+, but they do offer free trials if you're a new subscriber.
Is there a Paramount+ free trial?Yes, for the meantime. Paramount+ offers free seven-day trials for newbies for both the Essential and Premium tiers (until Jan. 15). So, technically, if you've never subscribed to Paramount+ before, you can sign up for a week-long trial of the Premium tier and watch the Golden Globes for free during that time. Just remember to cancel your subscription before the trial ends if you want to avoid charges.
Don't qualify for the free trial? We've also found a few different ways you can save some money on a subscription. Check out the best Paramount+ streaming deals below.
The best Paramount+ streaming dealsBest deal to watch live: Save 23% on a Paramount+ Premium annual subscription Opens in a new window Credit: Paramount+ Paramount+ Premium annual subscription $119.99/year (save $35.89) Get DealIf you want to catch the Golden Globe Awards live, you'll need the Paramount+ Premium plan, which regularly goes for $12.99 per month. However, you can save 23% if you opt for an annual plan for $119.99 instead. That brings the monthly cost down to just $10 instead of $12.99. You'll have to pay more upfront, but you'll also get more bang for your buck. Beyond just unlocking the live broadcast, you'll also get access to Showtime originals and movies (like Yellowjackets and The Curse) as well as live sports. Not to mention, you'll lock in that price for a year, which means you'll avoid the price increase set to take place on Jan. 15.
Best deal to watch later: Save 38% on a Paramount+ Essential annual subscription Opens in a new window Credit: Paramount+ Paramount+ Essential annual subscription $59.99/year (save 38%) Get DealIf you don't mind watching the awards show after it airs (and can avoid spoilers), you can subscribe to Paramount+ Essential for a single month at $7.99. You'll be able to catch the broadcast on demand the day after it airs live. Just remember to cancel before your month is up if you want to avoid further monthly charges. Want to stick around and save some money? Opt for the annual plan and save 38% on your subscription. It'll run you just $59.99 per year, which breaks down to $5 per month instead of the usual $7.99.

Just be sure to cancel before your trial ends if you want to avoid charges. If you want to keep your Walmart+ membership going, it'll cost you either $12.95 per month or $98 per year ($8.17/month). As we noted above, Paramount+ Essential will only get you access to the on-demand broadcast the day after the Golden Globes air.
Live TV streaming services with free trialsIf you want to catch the Golden Globe Awards live and for free, but don't qualify for a Paramount+ trial, you can also try out some live TV streaming services. YouTube TV, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, and DirecTV Stream are all streamers that offer CBS live in their channel lineup — and all four offer free trials to newcomers.
Best live TV streaming service Opens in a new window Credit: YouTube TV YouTube TV Free 10-day trial, then $59.99/month for three months Get DealYouTube TV is our top pick, as it not only offers newbies a 21-day trial period, but also an introductory rate of $59.99 per month for your first two months.

CES 2026: Capture video with the AI-tracking, subscription-free XbotGo Falcon
There is clearly a fast-growing market for AI-tracking sports cameras, as evidenced by the several new models we came across at CES 2026.
The XbotGo Falcon, however, might be the one with the clearest shot at giving some of the big players in the space some real competition.
The XbotGo Falcon is an AI-tracking camera meant for sports. You place it on your tripod, let it know which sport you're tracking, and give it some parameters for the field of play if you’d like. It will then automatically record the game while panning and zooming in and out to follow the action.
SEE ALSO: 10+ gadgets from CES 2026 that you can buy right now: Dell, Xreal, Samsung, moreNow, if you’ve looked into AI-tracking sports cameras before, you might be familiar with brands like Veo. They’ve been around for a while and are the go-to for soccer clubs to record the league's games. However, if you're just a parent or a volunteer youth coach looking to record your kids' games, you'd likely pass on the Veo because, along with purchasing the camera for $1,200 upfront, you also need to pay for a subscription that's well over $1,000 per year. And that's just for the basic recording features; the cost increases even more when you add additional capabilities like streaming.
The XbotGo Falcon, however, is completely subscription-free, making it a much more affordable solution.
If the XbotGo name sounds familiar, you might have heard of their previous product, the XbotGo Chameleon. This AI-tracking camera required that users attach their smartphone to the top of the device. Your smartphone was the device used to record the game, while the XbotGo Chameleon's camera was utilized solely for its AI-tracking capabilities. This led to some issues, as you couldn't use your iPhone during a game for other purposes, nor could you easily monitor what your smartphone was actually recording while sitting up high on the Chameleon mounted atop a tripod.
The XbotGo Chameleon and new XbotGo Falcon side-by-side. Credit: MashableThe XbotGo Falcon addresses these issues by incorporating a high-quality recording camera into the device, alongside the AI-tracking camera. Users can now also utilize their iPhone as a monitor, connecting it to the Falcon to view real-time footage of what's being recorded. If the AI-tracking loses its place for one reason or another, users can manually pan the Falcon using their iPhone to get the device back on track.
Additionally, XbotGo reports that they've resolved issues with their AI-tracking software. In order to stop the camera from getting distracted by kids playing on the sidelines of the game it should be recording, the Falcon can now lock onto the specific game ball instead of just looking for gameplay action movement.
We may have covered other AI tracking cameras at CES, but if you're looking for an affordable, prosumer-type solution specifically designed for capturing sports, the XbotGo Falcon seems like your best bet. If you're running a sports league, the Veo camera might make sense for all of its pro analytical capabilities, but if you're just a parent looking to capture video of your kid's games or even a small youth team, the XbotGo Falcon will save you thousands of dollars.
XbotGo Falcon Credit: MashableThe XbotGo Falcon will begin shipping to its early Kickstarter backers later this month, before launching on the market in March with a retail price of $599.

The best smart glasses of CES 2026
I've already covered a lot of trends emerging from CES 2026, but one of the most notable has been smart glasses, in all their various forms. I've tried on numerous pairs of smart glasses over the past five days, ranging from electrochromic sports glasses with customizable tint to the world's first AR gaming glasses featuring a 240 Hz refresh rate. In fact, I'm writing this article on a plane flying from Las Vegas to New York City, and using the Xreal One Pro's ultra-wide spatial computing display as I do.
Full disclosure, I strongly prefer smart glasses without an onboard camera. I dislike the idea of Big Tech brands being able to see and hear everything I do. Removing the cameras also solves the Google Glasshole problem.
SEE ALSO: 10+ gadgets from CES 2026 that you can buy right now: Dell, Xreal, Samsung, moreIf I had to pick one smart glasses brand that wowed me the most at CES, it would have to be Xreal. That said, the brand faces steep competition from established brands like Even Realities and TCL, as well as newcomers like MemoMind.
So, check out the best smart glasses of CES 2026, all based on my first-hand experience from the event.
Best in show: ROG Xreal R1 AR gaming glasses and Real 3D The ROG Xreal R1 gaming glasses have a fantastic display. Credit: XrealFor me, CES is all about those genuine "wow!" moments. I'm looking for products that feel like they've been plucked straight out of a science fiction movie. And that's what Xreal delivered at CES, more so than any other smart glasses demo I saw.
Xreal showcased a wide range of new products at CES 2026. Not only did they debut the new Xreal 1S AR Glasses, which deliver key upgrades and a price drop, but they also have a new pair of gaming glasses with world-first technology. You can buy the Xreal 1S glasses right now, but the real showstopper was the unreleased ROG Xreal R1 AR gaming glasses.
The ROG Xreal R1 glasses feature a stunning AR display. You can project games from a PC, console, or handheld onto a spatial screen up to 171 inches in size. These are also the world's first AR glasses with a 240 Hz refresh rate, thanks to new 1080p micro-OLED panels. I briefly played Elden Ring and Forza Horizon 5, and the graphics looked phenomenal. Even the Apple Vision Pro doesn't go above 120 Hz. I will say, as cool as it is, this is a very niche product, with limited use cases.

Credit: Timothy Werth / MashableOn top of that, Xreal is offering a Real 3D conversion feature for the 1S and One Pro glasses as an over-the-air update. This feature instantly transforms 2D displays into 3D displays, allowing you to scroll through your Instagram feed in three dimensions or turn any movie or video game into a 3D experience.
We don't have a confirmed release date for the new gaming glasses, but Xreal promised they're coming in 2026. The bad news? They'll likely land with a hefty price tag.
Best sports glasses: Povec Optics C1 sunglassesOne of my favorite finds at CES is a pair of smart glasses with no camera, no heads-up display, and no speakers. So, what's so smart about them?
The C1 sunglasses from startup Povec Optics are electrochromic, meaning they feature a customizable tint. Simply slide your finger along the side of the glasses, and the tint instantly changes. I've never seen anything like these glasses, and that's what CES is all about, right?
View this post on InstagramI love these glasses because they aren't trying to do a dozen different things, a common problem with smart glasses. Plus, they feel a little bit like magic.
The company's founder told me the glasses will be released in 2026. I recommend following Povec Optics on Instagram for updates.
Best for entertainment: TCL RayNeo Air 4 Pro smart glasses Timothy Werth wearing TCL RayNeo Air 4 Pro smart glasses Credit: Timothy Werth / Mashable TCL also showed off its RayNeo X3 Pro glasses, released in Dec. 2025. Credit: Timothy Werth / MashableTCL has been making smart glasses under its RayNeo line for a while now, but without making much of an impact on the market. I think that's going to change with the imminent launch of the new RayNeo Air 4 Pro smart glasses, which arrive Jan. 25.
These are Xreal-style AR glasses with a floating virtual display. However, they boast a true HDR display that's brighter, more colorful, and crisper than any other smart glasses I've tried so far.
And here's the coolest part: They're priced at $299. That's a pretty unbeatable price in this space.
Best audio glasses: Lucyd smart glassesI'll be honest — I wasn't familiar with Lucyd (pronounced "lucid") prior to CES, but the brand has been making smart glasses for a while. They're really unique glasses in one absolutely critical way: They're priced just like regular glasses. They look and feel just like regular glasses, which I also appreciate.
Lucyd can sell smart glasses for as little as $99 because they aren't trying to do too much. Lucyd frames have speakers built in, which can be helpful for hands-free communication on job sites, listening to music while you work out, getting quick answers from ChatGPT, or taking phone calls on the go.

Credit: Timothy Werth / MashableA Lucyd representative informed me that the company is focused on creating the best possible eyewear at a reasonable price, and I believe that is evident in the product. The glasses had great sound, and the company's sports glasses (part of a partnership with Reebok) are a particular highlight, along with their prescription frames. Lightweight, stylish, and affordable is a rare combination in the smart glasses world, but Lucyd pulls it off.
You can shop for Lucyd smart sports glasses at the brand's website and other online retailers, with prices starting at just $179 for sports glasses. You can also purchase regular Lucyd frames on Amazon, starting at $99.
Best heads-up display: Even Realities G2 The Even G2 Smart Glasses. Credit: Timothy Werth / MashableEven Realities had the best display smart glasses I've tried yet, full stop. However, the Even G2 Smart Glasses I tried aren't new for CES. That said, they easily had the best heads-up display I tried at the show, as well as the best live translation. I was able to have a back-and-forth conversation in Italian and English about Formula 1 and Lewis Hamilton, with the glasses display providing a live translation.
Instant, live translation is here. Credit: Timothy Werth / Mashable Even R1 smart ring. Credit: Timothy Werth / MashableI was also impressed by the map and navigation features, the teleprompter mode, and the overall design. Unlike most smart glasses, they have thin frames, so they don't look as clunky on your face. Even Realities also features a smart ring, which allows you to control the glasses using simple touch controls.

Best newcomer: XGIMI MemoMind AI glasses The Memo One AI Glasses will be available for preorder soon. Credit: Timothy Werth / MashableThe projector brand XGIMI had a surprise announcement at CES. They're releasing a new line of display smart glasses under the new brand MemoMind. XGIMI incubated the MemoMind startup to release the glasses.
MemoMind will be releasing three smart glasses, although only two have names so far: the Memo One and the Memo Air Display. The latter features a monocular display and offers a more minimalist approach. The Memo One AI glasses feature "integrated speakers with a dual-eye display for both visual and audio AI interaction."

Credit: Timothy Werth / MashableI got to try both glasses, and they had a well-rounded feature set, including navigation, live translation, a teleprompter, and AI summaries. The company says that the glasses run on a "multi-LLM hybrid operating system that automatically selects the most suitable AI model for each task — including OpenAI, Azure, and Qwen."
I liked the design of the glasses on display, and they were impressively lightweight. They will also be fully customizable, both in terms of style and prescription. The Memo One will be available for preorder "soon" for $599.
Best Meta Ray-Ban Display alternative: Rokid AI glassesRokid is a Chinese company that sells AR glasses on Amazon. However, for CES, this smart glasses brand announced the launch of a new pair of AI display glasses. The built-in camera can see what you see and instantly provide answers, like the Meta Ray-Ban Display. Unlike the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, which have a starting price of $379, these AI display glasses start at $299.

Credit: Timothy Werth / MashableDuring a demo, I asked the glasses to describe the crowded CES scene around me, and it did so with a surprising amount of detail and accuracy. That said, the Rokid live translation feature wasn't as good as what I experienced with Even Realities.
However, if you like the idea of AI glasses that can capture content, answer questions, and provide info via a heads-up display, the new Rokid AI Glasses can do all of the above. Personally, I prefer smart glasses that aren't trying to do too much, but I know some people want all the bells and whistles.
You can preorder the Rokid AI Glasses at the company's website.

Who is the sick astronaut on the ISS? What we know.
NASA will bring four astronauts home from the International Space Station days earlier than planned after one crew member experienced a medical issue that requires further testing.
In a news conference Thursday evening, agency leaders said the astronaut is "absolutely stable" but needs a full diagnostic workup that can't be done in the lab orbiting 250 miles above the planet. The return from space marks the first controlled medical evacuation from the station in its 25 years of continuous operations, highlighting the rarity of the situation and the limits of treating complex health problems away from Earth.
New NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said ending the mission a little early is in the best interest of Crew-11. The astronauts — Commander Zena Cardman, pilot Mike Fincke, Japan’s Kimya Yui, and Russia’s Oleg Platonov — will ride SpaceX's Dragon Endeavour capsule back to Earth within days.
Once Dragon departs, American astronaut Chris Williams, who arrived on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft in November, will be the only U.S. crew member left. Russian colleagues will help Williams manage systems and experiments until Crew‑12's flight launches, potentially as soon as mid‑February.
Here's what we know about the unprecedented medical evacuation:
SEE ALSO: New discovery just broke the record for fastest-spinning large asteroid Who is the sick astronaut on the ISS?NASA is deliberately trying to keep the name of the affected astronaut confidential, citing medical privacy practices. During the Jan. 8 briefing, officials didn't disclose identifying information — not even slipping up with any gendered pronouns in their comments.
What we do know is that just prior to the announcement of the medical evacuation, NASA had canceled a scheduled spacewalk — a venture outside the space station — specifically because of the medical concern that arose Wednesday afternoon. NASA astronauts Fincke and Cardman were expected to perform that operation, related to an installation of solar panels.
JAXA, NASA's Japanese space counterpart, released a statement that clarified Yui is not the crew member dealing with the health issue, according to Japanese news reports.
What is the medical condition on the ISS?Though NASA’s chief health and medical officer J.D. Polk said he wouldn't talk specifics about a diagnosis, he and other officials repeatedly referred to the circumstance as "serious."
NASA has only confirmed that the astronaut is now "stable," but officials haven't said if there was ever a time when the astronaut was not stable. They declined to provide enough details to infer that.
When asked whether physical preparations for the spacewalk were involved in the problem, Dr. Polk clarified that it was unrelated to pre-breathing procedures. Before a spacewalk, astronauts breathe pure oxygen for a set period to flush nitrogen out of their bloodstream.
Inside the space station, air is like Earth's, with a mix of nitrogen and oxygen. In the spacesuit, the pressure is much lower and mostly oxygen. A sudden switch from one to the other could cause the dissolved nitrogen in a person's body to form bubbles and cause the bends, like in scuba diving. Pre-breathing is intended to reduce the risk of decompression sickness.
"This actually had nothing to do with the operational environment in preparing for a spacewalk at all," Dr. Polk said. "This was totally unrelated to any operations on board."
Dr. Polk also emphasized that the medical issue wasn't an injury in the course of work, though he stopped short of saying whether it was some other kind of injury.
"It's mostly having a medical issue in the difficult areas of microgravity," he said.

Credit: NASA What medical emergencies have happened before?Astronauts have handled many medical issues over a quarter-century at the space station, but most fall in the category of urgent-care problems, like toothaches and ear pain.
Public reports also describe astronauts managing minor injuries and infections, back pain, motion sickness, headaches, and vision changes with telemedicine and the onboard medical kit. They've even dealt with a blood clot in the neck, treating it with injections of a blood-thinning drug and later oral medication, once it arrived on a cargo resupply ship.
"We've had many models … that have said we should have had a medical evacuation approximately every three years in that 25-year history," Dr. Polk said.
Is the astronaut evacuation an emergency?Technically speaking, no. NASA describes it as a "controlled expedited return," not an emergency deorbit for the crew. That might seem like semantics, but the difference indicates the situation's perceived level of severity.
An emergency deorbit would mean departing the station as soon as possible, regardless of the landing timing, sea conditions, weather, and other risks, which NASA is capable of doing, Isaacman said. An expedited return, on the other hand, sticks to approved landing zones and mission rules. The latter type of departure indicates the astronaut's life isn't considered in immediate danger.
Despite the crew member remaining stable, NASA wants to bring the person home because the station lacks the full diagnostic hardware normally found in a hospital, officials said.

Credit: NASA / James Blair When will the SpaceX Dragon return to Earth?NASA hasn't announced an exact landing date yet, but the ship will undock in the "coming days." Officials said they would provide another update by Saturday evening on the departure timeline. NASA will choose the date after teams match the spacecraft’s readiness with weather and recovery conditions.
The splashdown itself should look pretty standard, according to the agency. NASA intends to use the normal recovery convoy to pick up the crew. Every Dragon ship is outfitted with emergency gear, and flight surgeons are always on the recovery ship for every landing, with contingency hospitals waiting on standby when astronauts return.
"This is no different in that respect," Dr. Polk said.

As the NFL postseason kicks off with Wild Card Weekend, there are certainly some interesting matchups to keep an eye on. This NFC North clash however, Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears, is a familiar one — the Packers and Bears are divisional rivals who have already faced each twice this season, with a win apiece on their respective home fields.
The Bears have made the playoffs for the first time since 2020 but they're not entering this Wild Card match with the confidence you'd expect. The NFC No. 2 seed have taken two losses on the bounce. The Packers, who enter the playoffs as the No. 7 seed via a Wild Card berth, have performed even worse in recent games. They ended their season with four straight losses.
What that means, however, is that one team is sure to bounce back and fight for a place in the Divisional Round. All-in-all, it's a can't miss game.

It's been an exciting and somewhat unexpected NFL season, with big names such as the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens missing out on the playoffs. If there was ever a year in which anything could happen in the postseason, this is it — and it all kicks off with the aptly named Wild Card Weekend, the first of four weekends of playoffs action.
First up are the Los Angeles Rams and Carolina Panthers. The Panthers are the NFC South winners, with a record of 8-9. The Rams, meanwhile, enter the playoffs thanks to a Wild Card berth though they actually scored a better overall record of 12-5 in NFC West.
The Panthers triumphed when they met the Rams back in Week 13, but Carolina are also coming off back-to-back losses, which means the momentum may be with Los Angeles, who are tipped as favorites following a decisive win against Arizona. It's all to play for as both franchises look to open the postseason with a statement win and advance to the Divisional Round.

Times are tough for Spurs right now. A last-minute defeat against Bournemouth has piled on the pressure for manager Thomas Frank. They are languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League standings, so the FA Cup might provide a welcome break. Of course, they could easily get dumped out of the competition by Aston Villa. At that point, some fans might argue that a significant change is needed.

The best action movies on Netflix right now
Looking to fuel up your Netflix queue with some high-octane action?
Whether you're a fan of wild Westerns, cunning detectives, high-swinging superheroes, ravenous zombies, rowdy thieves, or hard-hitting heroines, Netflix has a movie pitch-perfect for every kind of adrenaline seeker.
We know scrolling through the streaming app can be a chore when all you want to do is Netflix and chill. So, we've taken out the hard step by highlighting the most stunt-stuffed, battle-powered, high-speed films the streamer has to offer.
SEE ALSO: The best Netflix movies of 2025 now streamingHere are the best action movies on Netflix, streaming right now.
21. Back in Action Credit: John Wilson / NetflixAptly titled, Back in Action not only refers to the plotline of this charming espionage comedy but also the return of its stars to the spotlight.
Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz co-star as a couple of spies who fake their deaths to flee their dangerous jobs once they learn they've got a baby on the way. Cut to 15 years later, when they're middle-aged with a cozy suburban life that's interrupted by an unexpected visit from some former colleagues. To keep their kids safe, they'll need to go on one more mission. And things get pretty zany — and yeah, corny too. But there's an undeniable pleasure in watching Diaz and Foxx bounce off each other's energy.
In my review for Mashable, I wrote, "Don't overthink it. Turn on Back in Action, and allow the star power and nostalgia for the heyday of '90s rom-coms, the peak of Cameron Diaz fame, and the fun of all that wash over you."* — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor
How to watch: Back in Action is now streaming on Netflix.
20. Train to BusanLike your action with a blood-splashed buffet of horror? You, my fright-seeking friend, will love Train to Busan.
This South Korean horror thriller imagines what would happen if a zombie outbreak hit a rail train full of average people. Directed by Yeon Sang-ho, Train to Busan focuses on a workaholic father who's taking the train with his young daughter to spend her birthday with his ex-wife in Busan. But this dad will have to prove himself when their fellow passengers become flesh-craving, limb-contorting beasts. The action sequences on this journey are nerve-shreddingly intense, thanks to a clever use of contortionists and the screen presence of South Korean action star Don Lee. You'll never look at a train — or a flight of escalators — the same way again. — K.P.
How to watch: Train to Busan is now streaming on Netflix.
19. UpgradeThe always-welcome Logan Marshall-Green stars here as Grey, an auto mechanic who gets sucked into a nefarious world of cyber-horror when a car crash leaves him paralyzed and his wife dead. Implanted with an untested computer chip that can control his limbs and "fix" his paralysis, Grey's mind starts communicating with the technology, which in turns starts egging him on. After all, why just walk when you can be a kick-ass super-soldier? Needless to say, as in any good RoboCop spin, the corporations are not to be trusted when it comes to our best interests. — Jason Adams, Contributing Writer
How to watch: Upgrade is now streaming on Netflix.
18. Land of BadLand of Bad seems fairly generic at first glance. A ragtag group of soldiers (portrayed by both Liam Hemsworth and Luke Hemsworth, American Gods star Ricky Whittle, and former Gilmore guy Milo Ventimiglia) find themselves stranded behind enemy territory in the Philippines and they must, you know, get the heck out of there. Russell Crowe plays "Reaper," a drone pilot who provides air support to the group on the ground by yelling into a telephone a lot. This is nothing we've not seen before!
And yet the movie's actually a solid B-movie slice of old-fashioned action movie entertainment. The film is directed and co-written by William Eubank, whose previous credits include one of the most underrated action-thrillers of recent times, 2020's Underwater with Kristen Stewart. Like that film, Land of Bad doesn't rewrite its genre, but it does bring the action and thrills efficiently and well. — J.A.
How to watch: Land of Bad is now streaming on Netflix.
17. Kraven the Hunter Credit: Sony PicturesOkay. So you're probably thinking, "Why is a movie with a 15% on Rotten Tomatoes on a best-of list? Is Netflix really so thin on good action?!" I hear you. But look, while Kraven the Hunter is not a great film, or even a good one, it is wildly fun. And the action is a major part of that!
SEE ALSO: 'Kraven the Hunter' is bad. But what if I love it?This Spider-Man spinoff centers on the comic book villain Kraven the Hunter (Aaron Johnson), but makes him less a poacher and more a bad-guy hunting vigilante. And along the way, there's other Spidey characters haphazardly looped in, like Aleksei "The Rhino" Sytsevich (Alessandro Nivola), Calypso (Ariana DeBose), and The Foreigner (Christopher Abbott). But the real fun comes in some fight scenes so violent that Sony's sheer reckless rebellion in the face of MCU PG-13 standards is worth the watch. Like, Kraven bites off a dude's nose. And that's not the climax of a fight. Come on. You want to watch that. — K.P.
How to watch: Kraven the Hunter is now streaming on Netflix.
16. The UnionMark Wahlberg and Halle Berry team up for an action-comedy that is surprisingly charming! He's a Boston everyman who works construction by day and by night hooks up with local hotties (including his former seventh-grade English teacher). She's a globe-trekking secret agent — and his high school girlfriend — who shows up at their old dive bar out of the blue to invite him in on a secret mission. Together, they're working for The Union.
Explosive espionage action blends with rom-com chemistry as Wahlberg and Berry delve into car chases, gun fights, and plenty of bouncy banter. J.K. Simmons brings gruff bravado, while Evil's Mike Colter delivers breathtaking swagger. Full of thrills, fun, and verve, The Union is a great pick for movie night at home.* — K.P.
How to watch: The Union is now streaming on Netflix.
15. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel FComing back onto the scene 30 years after Beverly Hills Cop III flopped, this fourth installment of the comedic crime-solving adventures of Detroit police officer Axel Foley has no right to be as good as it is. Not only did screenwriters Will Beall, Tom Gormican, and Kevin Etten have to manage how public opinion has shifted when it comes to cops who play by their own rules, but also how to approach Axel's wise-cracking sense of humor that traditionally put just about everyone in its crosshairs. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F manages both in a way that gives fresh life to the character without casting aside the fans who loved his wild ways.
As I wrote in my rave review, "Eddie Murphy is as good as ever as Axel Foley." Plus, he's got his old friends, like John Ashton, Judge Reinhold, Paul Reiser, and Bronson Pinchot back and in action. It's an absolute blast to see all these energies colliding, and yet there's room for newcomers, like the dynamic Taylour Paige and the ever-solid Joseph Gordon-Levitt, both of whom prove to be compelling foils to the ever-quipping Murphy. "In the end, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F isn't just a great sequel, or an awesome action-comedy; it might just be the most entertaining movie of [2024]."* — K.P.
How to watch: Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is now streaming on Netflix.
14. Bad Boys: Ride or Die Credit: Frank Masi / Sony PicturesNearly 30 years after their first adventure as cop buddies Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back with the Bad Boys' franchise's fourth installment. Bad Boys For Life co-helmers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah also returned, bringing their high-octane brand of action into a stunt-packed epic about loyalty and redemption.
When the late Captain Howard (Joe Pantoliano) gets dragged for alleged ties to corruption, it's up to Mike and Marcus to find the truth and clear his name. In her review of this action-comedy, Mashable contributor Monica Castillo praised this rousing return, writing, "Bad Boys: Ride or Die is an entertaining reminder of what made the original movie work all those years ago." — K.P.
How to watch: Bad Boys: Ride or Die is now streaming on Netflix.
13. Damsel Credit: John Wilson / NetflixNetflix has invested big in Millie Bobby Brown. Not only has the English ingenue been leading Stranger Things for years, but also she's becoming an outright action star through movies she has headlined and produced for the streamer, including a pair of Enola Holmes adventures and the fearsome fairy tale Damsel. Here, Brown stars as Elodie, a dutiful damsel destined to wed a handsome prince (Nick Robinson)! But rather than happily ever after, her deceitful groom pitches her into a dragon's pit. However, that's far from the end of her story. She'll fight her way to salvation and vengeance, one fiery sequence at a time.
In her review, Mashable's Belen Edwards wrote, "Boasting some inventive twists and a heartfelt lead performance from Brown, Damsel may not be groundbreaking fantasy, but it is a thrilling ride." — K.P.
How to watch: Damsel is now streaming on Netflix.
SEE ALSO: Netflix's 'Damsel' trailer will put you in distress 12. KPop Demon HuntersOfficially the most popular Netflix original movie of all time, KPop Demon Hunters delivers a little bit of everything: romance, action, comedy, and a totally addictive soundtrack.
SEE ALSO: How 'KPop Demon Hunters' became a love letter to K-pop and its fandomThe story stars with K-pop trio HUNTR/X, who, when they aren't making bops like "Golden," are battling demons to protect the very souls of their fans. But just as they think they're on the verge of building an impenetrable barrier with their songs, the demons fight back with a boy band of their own. The Saja Boys are comically hot, delivering smooth moves, devious plans, and plenty of slapstick. Plus, they've got a tiger, who is cute, creepy, and silly to boot! Whether it's the martial arts action sequences, the swoon-worthy song-and-dance numbers, or the cheeky sense of humor that's grabbed fans of all ages, KPop Demon Hunters is sure to thrill. And hey, now there's a sing-along version too. — K.P.
How to watch: KPop Demon Hunters is now streaming on Netflix.
11. The Harder They Fall Credit: David Lee / NetflixPut 'em up, as this is hands-down one of the best action movies in the Wild West.
Directed by Jeymes Samuel, The Harder They Fall defiantly redefines the predominantly white Western, boasting an incredible cast of Black stars: Jonathan Majors, Idris Elba, Regina King, Zazie Beetz, LaKeith Stanfield, and Delroy Lindo. A tale of heroes and villains, the film follows Nat Love (Majors) on his quest for revenge against the formidable Rufus Buck (Elba). But he'll have to make his gunslinging way through "Treacherous" Trudy Smith (Regina King) and Cherokee Bill (Stanfield) first. Even before the opening credits roll, you'll fall hard for this one. — Shannon Connellan, UK Editor
How to watch: The Harder They Fall is now streaming on Netflix.
10. Enola Holmes Credit: NetflixSherlock Holmes's much cooler little sister is an overlooked young action hero in Enola Holmes. Based on author Nancy Springer's popular book series The Enola Holmes Mysteries, the film puts the great detective's savvy 16-year-old sibling on the case, played with energetic spoonfuls of gumption by Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown. She's set to solve the greatest mystery of her young life: to find her missing mother (Helena Bonham Carter) through a series of deliberately cryptic clues — all while breaking the fourth wall and confiding in the audience, thanks to Fleabag director Harry Bradbeer and His Dark Materials' Jack Thorne's sharp screenplay.
Stepping into the footsteps of her famous brother Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and avoiding those of her stuffier misogynist brother Mycroft (Sam Claflin), Enola's case leads her on a wild ride through Victorian-era England, with more than a few fistfights and butts to kick along the way. And lucky for you, the sequel is even better. — S.C.

9. They Cloned Tyrone Credit: NetflixWith this 2023 release, co-writer/director Juel Taylor pulls plenty of inspiration from Blaxploitation. John Boyega, Jamie Foxx, and Teyonah Parris star as a drug dealer, a pimp, and a sex worker who undercover a nefarious conspiracy that's happening underneath their neighborhood. Taylor and fellow screenwriter Tony Rettenmaier weave in wild twists, fly fight scenes, irreverent humor, and swaggering style for what our critic called "a propulsive comedy-thriller with weight." As bold as it is star-studded, you won't want to miss They Cloned Tyrone. And stay for the credits, trust us. — K.P.
How to watch: They Cloned Tyrone is now streaming on Netflix.
SEE ALSO: We need to talk about 'They Cloned Tyrone's ending 8. Kill Boksoon Credit: No Ju-han / NetflixGil Bok-Soon (Jeon Do-yeon) is a single mother who often finds herself at odds with her teenage daughter. She's also a highly skilled and successful assassin. Kill Boksoon is a fantastic action film that sees its main character head straight from a brutal killing to the grocery store so she can get dinner on the table. It's one hell of a hook that sucks you in immediately. The fight scenes are hypnotic and the cinematography ambitious and exciting. It's a gripping thriller that makes plenty of space for the complex emotional reality of its characters.* — Kristina Grosspietsch, Freelance Contributor

7. Triple Frontier Credit: NetflixThis Netflix adventure has Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garrett Hedlund, and Pedro Pascal coming together as a group of former Special Forces who plan an elaborate heist in South America. But after things get out of hand, their survival skills are put to the ultimate test.
Putting a talented cast in a tension-filled scenario, Triple Frontier is the type of gritty thriller that's hard to turn away from. — Brooke Bajgrowicz, Entertainment Fellow
How to watch: Triple Frontier is now streaming on Netflix.
6. Okja Credit: NetflixBlending drama with fantasy/adventure and weaving in a very real message about the horrors of the meat industry, Bong Joon Ho's Okja is a beautifully unique creature feature, striped with action.
The film follows Mina (Ahn Seo-hyun), the granddaughter of a farmer in South Korea who has spent the last 10 years rearing a genetically modified super-pig called Okja as part of a breeding project spearheaded by a grim U.S. corporation. This movie is dark in places, magical in others, and poignant overall, asking us to stop and reflect on the dark side of an industry the majority of us are complicit in.

5. Da 5 Bloods Credit: NetflixSpike Lee copters audiences back to the Vietnam War with Da 5 Bloods, a daring film that's part drama, part war movie, and part heist flick. Named for a squad of Black U.S. Army soldiers of the 1st Infantry Division, Lee's critically heralded 2020 joint follows this band of brothers through a treacherous war zone, then rediscovers them in a present where they're seeking to uncover the past — and a big payday.
Sequences of brutal battles, narrow escapes, and high-tension hijinks make Da 5 Bloods an enthralling watch. Though inspired by history, it's impossible to predict where Lee's story will lead. Our guides on this intense journey through time, loss, war, and brotherhood are Delroy Lindo, Jonathan Majors, Clarke Peters, Norm Lewis, Isiah Whitlock Jr., and the late Chadwick Boseman. Together, they and Lee create an American war film that can't be missed. — K.P.

4. Army of the Dead Credit: NetflixSometimes all you want is to grab hold of that action-o-meter and crank the dial, hard, to a solid 11. Army of the Dead more than delivers on that front, opening with a musical montage of guns and exploding body parts — and it only gets gorier from there. Zack Snyder's story follows a band of mercenaries hired to steal $200 million from a casino in Las Vegas. The problem? Vegas has been invaded by zombies, the city is quarantined, and the military is planning to blow the entire thing up with a tactical nuclear strike. The sprawling cast includes Dave Bautista, Omari Hardwick, Hiroyuki Sanada, Garret Dillahunt, and Ana de la Reguera, as well as a digitally added Tig Notaro.
What follows is a gloriously silly romp that refuses to take itself too seriously, propelling us through a series of explosions and bullets while the story twists and turns through a 148-minute runtime that feels oh, so much shorter. — S.H.

3. The Old Guard Credit: NetflixFolks looking for that summer blockbuster thrill, search no further than The Old Guard. Based on the superhero comic books of the same name, director Gina Prince-Bythewood's movie sucks viewers into a slick, well-crafted world of action and narrative that isn't particularly unique but delivers its formulaic pieces with enough precision to keep you invested.
Charlize Theron crushes as the ass-kicking leader of an immortal warrior fight crew, with performances by Harry Melling, Marwan Kenzari, KiKi Layne, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Veronica Ngo, Matthias Schoenaerts, and more.* — Alison Foreman, Entertainment Reporter

2. RRRYou've never seen an action movie quite as bombastic or as bromantic as RRR. Director S.S. Rajamouli draws loosely from history to tell the story of Indian freedom fighters Alluri Sitarama Raju (Ram Charan) and Komaram Bheem (N.T. Rama Rao Jr.). Over the film's three-hour runtime, the two unwittingly face off in the search for a kidnapped girl, become the best of friends, and square off against villainous English colonizers.
SEE ALSO: Was 'RRR' snubbed at the Oscars?Any of RRR's action sequences would be the pinnacle of a lesser action movie, but the film seems determined to outdo itself with showstopper after showstopper. Take when Raju faces down hundreds of protesters and wins, or when Bheem fights a tiger bare-handed. Would you believe me if I told you those happen within the first 20 minutes? The action — and the movie — only get more awesome from there. — B.E.

1. Godzilla Minus One Credit: Toho Company Ltd / Everett / Shutterstock.comYou don't know Godzilla until you see Godzilla Minus One. The American movies featuring the classic kaiju go for huge monster-versus-monster face-offs, bogged down by tedious human characters. But writer/director Takashi Yamazaki reclaims the Japanese icon with a movie that gets the balance between rampaging monster action and human drama just right.
Set near the close of World War II, Godzilla Minus One proves a fascinating tale of atomic age terror. Ryunosuke Kamiki stars as a kamikaze pilot who first flubs his mission, then crosses paths with the giant lizard with atomic breath. Survivor's guilt torments him, even as he cobbles together a found family of fellow survivors. This cast of characters is dynamic, making the scenes of simple home-cooked meals just as satisfying as sequences of town-trampling destruction. Actually, one deeply informs the other. Because while the movie's jaw-dropping special effects rightfully won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, it's the emotional impact of them that makes this Godzilla hit harder than any contemporary. Even on the small screen, you'll be in awe.* — K.P.

The 28 best comedies streaming on Netflix right now
Nothing feels as good as a deep, genuine laugh. It's an expression of joy! It's a workout. It's a sign that you're having a good time.
Netflix has a dazzling selection of comedy movies that give you that good-time feeling on demand. Whether you're craving action-spiked shenanigans, quirky coming-of-age adventures, awkward humor, stranger-than-fiction silliness, madcap musical numbers, or crime with a spree of laughs, there's a perfect pick for you. And we've made singling it out all the easier by highlighting the most hilarious below.
Here are the funniest movies now streaming on Netflix.
28. Cora Bora Megan Stalter stars in "Cora Bora." Credit: Brainstorm MediaIf Too Much has you craving more Megan Stalter, you'll want to catch up with this underseen gem. Directed by Hannah Pearl Utt, Cora Bora centers on the titular musician (played by Stalter), who has left Portland and her girlfriend (Jojo T. Gibbs) behind to pursue her dreams in LA. The couple's open relationship allows each to explore other connections — or, in Cora’s case, endure an awkward one-night stand with a sexy Flat Earther (Thomas Mann). But when Cora begins to fear that her girlfriend is catching feelings for someone else, it prompts the chaotic bisexual into a hasty homecoming.
In my review out of the film's SXSW premiere in 2023, I cheered, "Cora Bora proves a sensational cringe comedy, spiked with wicked humor, skin-crawling awkward scenarios, and an ardent — if wounded — heart. Deftly dancing from brash jokes to tender dialogue, Stalter reveals a riveting range and stirring screen presence. Simply put, it’s easy to fall for Cora Bora." — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor

27. Paddington in PeruWe could all use some Paddington in our lives, so why not kick back and enjoy Paddington in Peru? Sure, it's not the masterpiece that is Paddington 2, but director Dougal Wilson still crafts a charming adventure in its own right in his directorial debut.
SEE ALSO: 'Paddington in Peru' review: The movie we need right nowThis time around, Paddington (voiced by Ben Whishaw) is headed back to his homeland of deepest, darkest Peru, with the Brown family in tow. In his quest to find his missing Aunt Lucy, he'll cross paths with a high-energy, guitar-playing nun (Olivia Colman) and a cartoonish, disguise-loving boat captain (Antonio Banderas). Colman and Banderas elevate Paddington's journey from funny to downright outrageous, proving that there are few things more fun than watching seasoned performers let their freak flags fly. Check out their work and the rest of Paddington in Peru, and see why Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko called it "the movie we need right now." — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

26. Saturday Night Credit: Hopper Stone / Sony Pictures EntertainmentUnjustly overlooked at release in the fall of 2024, this frantically funny romp from Juno and Young Adult director Jason Reitman details the 90-minute lead-up to the very first episode of Saturday Night Live in October of 1975. The ensemble cast is packed, with Cory Michael Smith as Chevy Chase, Ella Hunt as Gilda Radner, Dylan O'Brien as Dan Aykroyd, Emily Fairn as Laraine Newman, Matt Wood as John Belushi, Lamorne Morris as Garrett Morris, and Kim Matula as Jane Curtin.
Add Gabriel Labelle as Lorne Michaels, the man with the wild and crazy plan himself, and the fact that this movie managed to only be 90 minutes long with all of these characters (plus a dozen more I don't even have room to list) is a real miracle in itself. Plenty of people do get shafted time-wise — notably, most of the women, which is pretty crappy given the show's own track record shafting women back in the day — but Saturday Night definitely captures the chaos and hilarious mayhem that Michaels managed to funnel into a comedy revolution. — Jason Adams, Contributing Writer
How to watch: Saturday Night is now streaming on Netflix.
25. NonnasSpeaking of delicious, this comedy written by Liz Maccie and directed by her husband Stephen Chbosky will have you craving a home-cooked Italian meal.
Inspired by the true story of the restaurant Enoteca Maria, Nonnas stars Vince Vaughn as an average Joe who channels his grief over losing his mother and grandmother into a tantalizing new venture. He uses his inheritance to build a new restaurant in Staten Island, and hires Italian grandmothers (or nonnas) to become the chefs using their family recipes. Personalities clash, but ultimately these strong-willed women come together to create something stupendous.
It's a feel-good comedy full of love, joy, and laughs.* — K.P.
How to watch: Nonnas is now streaming on Netflix.
24. Heart Eyes Credit: Christopher MossValentine's Day gets a horror-comedy makeover in Heart Eyes, from director Josh Ruben (Werewolves Within). The titular slasher only kills on Feb. 14, when they target happy couples in love. This year, the Heart Eyes killer has marketers Ally (Olivia Holt) and Jay (Mason Gooding) in their sights. There's just one problem: Ally and Jay aren't a couple, even though a coffee shop meet-cute and undeniable chemistry seem to suggest otherwise. Can these star-crossed acquaintances and definitely not lovers survive the night and convince the Heart Eyes Killer they're totally platonic?
What follows is a cross between gory slasher and romantic comedy, and if you're a fan of both genres, chances are you'll be charmed by Heart Eyes. As Mashable contributor Kimber Myers wrote in her review, "Heart Eyes is a gory good time for those who are likely to swipe right on an off-kilter love story and a horror comedy." — B.E.
How to watch: Heart Eyes is now streaming on Netflix.
23. Cunk on LifeComedian Diane Morgan has been gifting the world with her character of Philomena Cunk for a glorious decade and a half now. A dim-witted investigative journalist who butts heads with the real-world leading minds on each subject, Cunk proved to be a one-woman feast of absolute nonsense. The character Cunk started getting her own specials in 2016 with Cunk on Christmas, followed by Cunk on Britain and the epic globe-trotting mockumentary series Cunk on Earth (also streaming on Netflix).
Morgan's expanded her reach all the way to Cunk on Life, her latest side-splitter that tries to uncover the very meaning of existence itself across its humble 71-minute runtime. Does Cunk succeed? Well, Cunk definitely thinks she does, every damn time. But if not, at least we'll get to hear some Technotronic in the process, dammit! — J.A.
How to watch: Cunk on Life is now streaming on Netflix.
22. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F Eddie Murphy is back as Axel Foley. Credit: NetflixEddie Murphy returns as wise-cracking Detroit police officer Axel Foley. 30 years after Beverly Hills Cop III, this sensational sequel sees Foley returning to Los Angeles to fight a new foe, reunite with old friends, and reconnect with his estranged daughter.
SEE ALSO: 'Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F' review: Netflix's sequel shouldn't work and yet...Reprising their supporting roles are Beverly Hills Cop co-stars John Ashton, Judge Reinhold, Paul Reiser, and Bronson Pinchot. New to the crew is Taylour Paige as Axel's hard-headed daughter, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a local ally, Nasim Pedrad as a flustered real estate agent, and Kevin Bacon as a smirking antagonist. The sparks will fly. The punchlines hit powerfully. The soundtrack is fire. And just like that, the heat is back on! — K.P.

21. Between Two Ferns: The Movie Credit: Adam Rose / NetflixZach Galifianakis' awkward celebrity interview web series Between Two Ferns might not seem like fodder for a full-length movie, but Between Two Ferns: The Movie goes double meta by presenting his success on Funny or Die as an insult to the actor's intention to host a "serious" interview show. Galifianakis the character sets off to correct the assumption that his original show is a joke by interviewing even more celebrities, like John Cho, Keanu Reeves, Tiffany Haddish, and more. — Alexis Nedd, Senior Entertainment Reporter
How to watch: Between Two Ferns: The Movie is now streaming on Netflix.
20. Do Revenge Credit: NetflixLooking for a revenge flick that pays tribute to teen classics like Mean Girls, Heathers, Cruel Intentions, and more? Then check out Do Revenge, a dark comedy sure to join the canon of iconic high school movies. Students Drea (Camila Mendes) and Eleanor (Maya Hawke) couldn't be more different... apart from the fact that both have major bones to pick with people who ruined their reputations. They decide to team up and execute one another's revenge plans, which leads down a winding road of morally dubious choices, snappy one-liners, and excellent outfits.
Mendes and Hawke have great chemistry, but it's Sophie Turner who damn near steals the show in a bit part that simply must be seen to be believed.* — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Back in the day, Sasha and Marcus were tight as a slap bracelet. But one fumbled night in a sweaty backseat seemed to shatter their future together.
Fifteen years later, she's a world-renowned chef and he's — well — he's working for his dad's HVAC business and playing with his band on the side. Still, fate arranges for them to reconnect, which could mean Marcus (Randall Park) has a shot to show Sasha (Ali Wong) how he feels. Comedy ensues as the stakes get high when Keanu Reeves crashes the party, being all weird and hot and having the audacity to be Keanu Reeves! This Nahnatchka Khan-helmed laffer also boasts appearances by James Saito, Charlyne Yi, Karan Soni, Daniel Dae Kim, and Michelle Buteau.* — K.P.

An outrageous showbiz comedy, Dolemite Is My Name is at once a poignant look at the life of an underdog and an unbelievably good time. With supporting performances by Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Wesley Snipes, Craig Robinson, and more, this biopic offers more beat-for-beat joy than many of its fictional counterparts. Sensational, aspirational, and electric: You'll love it. — Alison Foreman, Entertainment Reporter

17. The Polka King Credit: NetflixSometimes true crime can lead to some pitch-perfect dark comedy. This is the case for this outrageous offering, which stars Jack Black as infamous scammer/local celebrity Jan Lewan. Black brings all the rock star panache you need to understand how Lewan could be so beguiling to the Pennsylvanian retirees who surrendered their savings to the self-proclaimed Polka King.
Screenwriters Maya Forbes and Wallace Wolodarsky gave this story of fraud and showmanship shape. But they wisely trusted in the local flair of the terrific 2009 documentary The Man Who Would Be Polka King to provide some of the wildest lines of dialogue. Plucking directly from interviews with the friends, family, and victims of Jan Lewan, this comedy feels stranger than fiction but is jaw-droppingly real. Salty supporting turns from Jenny Slate, Jacki Weaver, and Jason Schwartzman bring added fun.* — K.P.

SEE ALSO: Love me like a Polka King 16. The Mitchells vs. The Machines Credit: NetflixSony Pictures Animation has given audiences such daring and dynamic animated movies as Surf's Up, Hotel Transylvania, and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. This zany 2021 release centers on a family who's battling back the robo-apocalypse with togetherness, internet savviness, and a wall-eyed pug named Monchi (voiced by social media icon Doug the Pug).
The Mitchells' adventure into chaos begins when daughter Katie (Abbi Jacobson) is poised to go off to college. Desperate for one last family-unifying road trip, her dad (Danny McBride) piles the whole family into his beater of a vehicle, unknowingly charting a fateful route into heroics. Co-directors Mike Rianda and Jeff Rowe infuse Katie's excitable perspective throughout the film by working in internet memes, social media-style reactions, and blitz of bonkers visuals. It’s a bold move that might alienate some viewers but has largely won the acclaim of critics and kiddos.* — K.P.
How to watch: The Mitchells vs. The Machines is now streaming on Netflix.
15. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery Credit: NetflixWriter/director Rian Johnson follows up his critically heralded whodunnit with a sequel that's even more explosive than Knives Out. Southern gentleman/detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is back, drawling deductions and whipping out witticisms, much to the chagrin of a group of wealthy and conniving friends.
It was supposed to be a murder mystery weekend where homicide was just a game. But when tech scion Miles Bron (Edward Norton) brings together his closest friends and worst enemy, real blood will be spilled, and the game is afoot! Joining in on the comically chaotic fun are Kate Hudson, Janelle Monáe, Dave Bautista, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., and Jessica Henwick. — K.P.

The Forty-Year-Old Version Credit: Jeong Park / Netflix © 2020The Forty-Year-Old Version isn’t just any film about a struggling New York artist, but one about a Black female playwright who’s continually held back from creating something authentic to her perspective. Radha Blank's autobiographical directorial debut, which she also wrote, produced, and stars in, is a searing, funny, and unabashedly honest look at the compromises Black creatives are pushed to make in a world dominated by whiteness.
A teacher approaching her 40th birthday, Radha (Blank) gets the chance to produce one of her plays — only after she refuses to write a slave musical. But forced to change her vision to appease white audiences, Radha considers a totally different medium to express herself: becoming a rapper. The Forty-Year-Old Version may be one of the most slept-on Netflix originals, and it’s a shame we've yet to see another film from Blank since, itself an indictment of an industry that fails to continually platform raw and honest Black storytelling.* — Oliver Whitney, Contributing Writer

13. Vampires vs. the Bronx Credit: NetflixWant a movie that's got excitement, comedy, a scorching message about the evils of gentrification, and is a kid-friendly romp? Then take a bite out of Vampires vs. the Bronx.
Oz Rodriguez's PG-13 horror-comedy centers on Afro-Latino teens who recognize that a flurry of missing person posters and an influx of rich white folks with tote bags means bad news for the neighborhood. Together, they team up Monster Squad-style to take down the bloodsuckers and save their community. With a sharp wit, a warm heart, a rich sense of atmosphere, and an equal appreciation for the Blade movies and '80s Amblin, Vampires vs. the Bronx is an easy watch full of rewards.* — K.P.

12. The Breaker UpperersThis hidden gem comes from New Zealand, the fertile comedy ground that gave us Taika Waititi, Flight of the Conchords, and What We Do in the Shadows. Waititi collaborators Jackie van Beek, James Rolleston, and Jemaine Clement team up for a deeply quirky buddy comedy about two long-time besties with a bonkers — but brilliant — business model.
Need someone to dump your partner so you can avoid a messy confrontation? Call on Jen and Mel (co-writers/co-directors/co-leads van Beek and Madeleine Sami). For a reasonable fee, these fearless Breaker Upperers will impersonate police officers, play pregnant, or even fake your death to help you ghost an ex. Whatever the shenanigans, van Beek and Sami sparkle. Booming with wild humor and big heart, this comedy is guaranteed to leave you cackling.* — K.P.

11. Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga Credit: John Wilson / NetflixWith its reputation for wacky musical numbers, the Eurovision Song Contest is ripe for parody. Luckily for Eurovision lovers, the contest gets the send-up it deserves in this gloriously goofy flick starring Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams. They play the Icelandic musical duo Fire Saga, who find themselves in the Eurovision spotlight. There, they discover that the famed competition is a world of cutthroat competitors, glitzy costumes, and many, many bops.
Eurovision Song Contest is full of larger-than-life characters and ridiculous humor, but it's also teeming with Eurovision references that will have fans laughing and cheering. For every "Jaja Ding Dong," there's a joyful Song-A-Long — and both are great! Pair all that with pitch-perfect comedic performances from Ferrell and McAdams, and you have a comedy that will both have you in stitches and win your heart. (Best of all, if you weren't a Eurovision fanatic before seeing this movie, you'll definitely be one by the time it ends.)* — B.E.

10. The Thursday Murder Club Celia Imrie, Helen Mirren, Naomi Ackie, Pierce Brosnan, and Sir Ben Kingsley in "The Thursday Murder Club." Credit: Giles Keyte / NetflixSir Ben Kingsley, Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, and Celia Imrie bring to life the brilliant pensioners at the heart of Richard Osman's best-selling novel The Thursday Murder Club.
In the charming retirement village of Cooper's Chase, a club made up of a former M16 agent, a once-feared union activist, a wise therapist, and a cheerful retired nurse use their lifetimes of skills to crack cold cases. But when fresh blood is spilled in their social circle, the Thursday Murder Club hunts for clues, leading them to spooky settings and dangerous people.
Director Chris Columbus offers a cozy crime thriller that's sure to delight fans of the book series. And we suspect it'll hook newcomers too, as his cast dazzles with every quip and daring deduction. — K.P.

9. Hit ManRichard Linklater and Glen Powell reunite for Hit Man, a rom-com that is killer in all sense of the word.
Powell plays Gary Johnson, a college professor whose side gig as an undercover hit man leads to an unexpected meet-cute with would-be client Madison (Andor's Adria Arjona). The pair's connection (and electrifying chemistry) sparks a delightful game of false identities, reinvention, and twisted love that toggles between hilarious, thrilling, and sexy at a moment's notice. Oh, who am I kidding; sometimes it's all three at once!* — B.E.

8. One of Them Days Credit: Anne Marie Fox / Sony PicturesProduced by Issa Rae, One of Them Days stars Keke Palmer and SZA as best friends scraping by in Los Angeles — and rent is due! Unfortunately, a shady boyfriend seems to have made off with their payment. If they don't scramble together enough cash to appease their crooked landlord, aspiring painter Alyssa (SZA) and waitress Dreux (Palmer) will be out on the curb. These inventive girlfriends go through a wild array of hijinks along the way, crossing paths with a vicious romantic rival, a big-mouthed busybody, a ruthless gangster, and Dreux's muscle-bound crush whose nickname is "Maniac." As the ticking clock comes closer and closer to climax, you'll be worn out from cackling.
The script by Syreeta Singleton is crackling with jokes, and director Lawrence Lamont pitches his cast into some grade-A slapstick. While this comedy's dynamic leading ladies are reason enough to give One of Them Days a watch, they're bolstered by a supporting cast that includes Katt Williams, Maude Apatow, Janelle James, Gabrielle Dennis, and Dewayne Perkins. — K.P.
How to watch: One of Them Days is now streaming on Netflix.
7. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl Credit: NetflixOur pals Wallace the inventor and his loyal pup Gromit have been running around for nearly four cracking decades now, but their latest adventure (and only their second feature-length film, after 2005's The Curse of the Were-Rabbit) proves they've lost not a whit of their vim and verve. Nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Oscars, Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl happily proves to be yet another gut-busting bit of British whimsy from Aardman Animation head Nick Park and his team of clay-playing creatives.
Vengeance Most Fowl sees our cheese-loving duo facing down a familiar foe — the diabolical penguin mastermind Feathers McGraw, who was last seen being sent off to imprisonment in the City Zoo in the classic 1993 short The Wrong Trousers. Hacking into Wallace's latest invention, a garden gnome robot named Norbot that he's created to do all of the yard work, Feathers builds himself an army of killer gnomes all programmed to do his bidding. And he wants nothing more than to bid adieu to his nemesis Wallace! — J.A.

6. Wicked Little LettersWant something cheeky? Then you'll relish the bawdy, four-letter fun of this British comedy. Set in the quaint seaside town of Littlehampton in 1920, Wicked Little Letters centers on a scandalous batch of missives. Someone in this charming place is writing truly nasty letters and mailing them anonymously. Meek Christian and old maid Edith Swan (Oscar winner Olivia Colman) is convinced the author of these horrid letters is none other than her next-door neighbor Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley), who is not only found of cursing but also Irish and a single mum to boot. But Rose won't take such accusations lying down. A battle of wills kicks off that pulls in much of Littlehampton, including a wide-eyed constable (We Are Lady Parts' Anjana Vasan) determined to crack the case once and for all. While this movie involves swearing, terms like "foxy-ass" mean it's the kind of cursing you could comfortably watch with your mum, chuckling all the while. — K.P.

5. Shiva BabySome people find this 2020 cringe comedy from writer-director Emma Seligman to be so stressful that it stops being a comedy altogether, to which we give a hearty boo. Sure, it's one of the most claustrophobic experiences you can have outside of an escape room that's caught on fire, but Rachel Sennott is a comic genius who spins every moment of horror into gold!
Before the two teamed up again in 2023 for the LOL-worthy Bottoms, Seligman and Sennott gave us this small-scale story of college student Danielle, who is attending a Jewish funeral reception where absolutely everything goes wrong. Sitting shiva is never a party, but Danielle's parents (a brilliantly funny Fred Melamed and Polly Draper) are hard on her case. Then her ex-girlfriend Maya (an equally funny Molly Gordon) shows up, and that's awkward. What else could go wrong? Glad you asked! Danielle's secret side gig as a sugar baby is jeopardized when her main client (Danny Deferrari) shows up with his shiksa wife and their newborn baby. Now throw all of this drama into the smallest three rooms you can imagine, all stuffed with the loudest people eating the driest crackers you have ever seen, and enjoy! — J.A.

4. KPop Demon Hunters HUNTR/X eats ramen in "KPop Demon Hunters." Credit: NetflixOfficially the most popular Netflix original movie of all time, KPop Demon Hunters delivers a little bit of everything: romance, action, comedy, and a totally addictive soundtrack.
The story stars with K-pop trio HUNTR/X, who, when they aren't making bops like "Golden," are battling demons to protect the very souls of their fans. But just as they think they're on the verge of building an impenetrable barrier with their songs, the demons fight back with a boy band of their own. The Saja Boys are comically hot, delivering smooth moves, devious plans, and plenty of slapstick. Plus, they've got a tiger, who is cute, creepy, and silly to boot! Whether it's the martial arts action sequences, the swoon-worthy song-and-dance numbers, or the cheeky sense of humor that's grabbed fans of all ages, KPop Demon Hunters is sure to thrill. And hey, there's a sing-along version now too. — K.P.

3. Between the TemplesFilmmaker Nathan Silver has been churning out extremely oddball indie films for the past 15 years without a whole lot of fanfare, but he finally found a sliver of mainstream attention in 2024 with Between the Temples, a tender and relatively straightforward (for him) comedy starring the one-of-a-kind twosome of Jason Schwartzman and Carol Kane. Schwartzman plays Ben, a recently widowed cantor at the local synagogue, while Kane plays his former elementary school music teacher Carla, who comes to him after deciding she wants to have the bat mitzvah she didn't get to have as a child. The two spark, their families clash, and big life lessons are learned. And if you could bottle the off-kilter chemistry between these supreme character actors, you'd have magic, which is just what this movie, singular and sweet, is. — J.A.
How to watch: Between the Temples is now streaming on Netflix.
2. Kneecap Credit: Helen Sloan / Sony Pictures ClassicsLike 8 Mile with way more vowels, Kneecap tells the true life story of the titular band while starring the band members as themselves. The hip-hop trio of Liam Óg "Mo Chara" Ó Hannaidh, Naoise "Móglaí Bap" Ó Cairealláin, and JJ "DJ Próvaí" Ó Dochartaigh portray their own rise from rough-and-tumble beginnings in West Belfast to their place atop the Irish charts, which stands out since they rap in the Irish language, which was well out of favor at the time, having been usurped by the English colonizers. Their music rises on the tide of the language's popular reclamation, but Kneecap is hardly a linguistics lesson — it's a hilarious and wildly entertaining drug-fueled riot of anarchic artistic expression. Oh, and Michael Fassbender plays Naoise's da, which I guess makes him the Kim Basinger of this situation? — J.A.

1. ParasiteBong Joon Ho's Parasite is not just a deeply dark "eat the rich" comedy, it's also a Best Picture winner. And for good reason.
Co-written and direct by Bong, Parasite centers on an impoverished family, scraping by in a basement apartment in Seoul, South Korea. When son Kim Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik) scores a coveted job as the personal tutor to the youngest child of the wealthy Park family, he sees an opportunity for his father (Song Kang-ho), mother (Jang Hye-jin), and sister (Park So-dam) to get in on the payday. It'll just take some careful strategizing — or, well — flat-out scamming.
Bong and his crackling cast had audiences cackling over these crafty con artists in the film's first and second acts. However, Parasite isn't just a class-conflict comedy but also a scathing critique of a capitalist culture that holds up the haves and scorns the have-nots, so things go from dark comedy to just downright dark in the film's finale. Not for the faint of heart, Parasite is a marvel that'll have you laughing, gasping, and maybe even crying by its end. — K.P.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra launched in September 2025, ushering in the next generation of the brand's tablets. The S11 Ultra is a beefy model, one of the largest tablets we've had in our hands. With a 14.6-inch screen, it dwarfs the tablets we're used to, even Apple's 13-inch models.
With its large size, we expected a lot from this device and ultimately wondered if it lives up to the performance and power of elite tablets like Apple's iPad Pro.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is a mixed bag, offering stellar battery life but with more to be desired in terms of performance. Here's everything you need to know about the device and if it's worth its $1,319.99 price.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra Specs and Price Let's take a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. Credit: Samantha Mangino / MashableThe Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is a pricey model at $1,319.99. In contrast, the more affordable Galaxy Tab S11 with an 11-inch display is available for $979.99.
Memory: 12GB
Storage: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB
Processor: Octa-Core
Cameras: 13.0 MP + 8.0 MP rear camera, 12.0 MP front camera, and UHD 4K video recording.
Audio: Quad speakers
Ports: One USB-C
Display: Dynamic AMOLED 2X
Since tablets are all screen, it's essential that a device has displays that are actually impressive. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra's 14.6-inch display offers ample space for entertainment or work needs. Its resolution is 2960 x 1848, powered by Dynamic AMOLED.
While watching shows on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, the content looks just as good on the tablet as it does on my Samsung OLED 4K TV, just in a smaller format.
Additionally, it maximizes its surface area. With split-screen capabilities, you can open and view multiple apps at once. For work productivity, this means being able to view documents and work on emails simultaneously. Alternatively, a more enjoyable use is to catch up on shows while playing your favorite mobile games.
It's got some power, but not nearly enough as we wantFor its size, I expected the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra to be a powerful unit, rivaling the likes of Apple's iPad Pro. It certainly surprised us, but maybe not in the way we hoped. Don't get it wrong, this is still a robust model. It handled streaming and internet browsing like a pro. Plus, it didn't falter when running multiple applications simultaneously.
Using the tablet's multi-window function, I watched The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City on the Peacock app while playing Subway Surfers. The show streamed in 4K while Subway Surfers ran without a glitch.
But when it comes to actual numbers, we look to the Geekbench 6 test. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra has a multi-core score of 8,797, which is far superior to that of a Chromebook, but can't compare to higher-end laptops. In fact, it can't really compare to Apple's tablets. The iPad Pro scores over 16,000 on its multi-core score, while the iPad Air scores 10,498, meaning the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra doesn't quite measure up. That being said, it does score higher than the basic iPad.
For its price tag, at $1,319.99, it should perform better. You can find a 13-inch iPad with the same specs and a better Geekbench 6 multi-core score for $1,099.
Impressive battery life that goes for daysThe standout feature on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is one you can't see. We conducted Mashable's standard battery life test, looping the 1080p version of "Tears of Steel," a short open-source Blender movie, at 50 percent brightness and 50 percent volume until the tablet ran out. The results astounded us, the battery lasting for 16 hours and 6 minutes, which is about how long we hope the very best laptops run for.
It comes with a nice, lightweight stylus The lightweight S Pen is a dream to write with, emulating the feel of an actual pencil. Credit: Samantha Mangino / MashableIn a world where Apple forces you to buy a stylus to accompany its tablets, Samsung includes a stylus with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra. The S pen has a hexagonal shape, emulating the feel of a classic pencil. It moves easily, and while I'm not an artist, I did love using it to write. It feels practically weightless in your hand, so you can move quickly across the page. It magnetically clings to the tablet, although I wouldn't say it has a particularly strong hold, as it can be easily knocked off.
An oversized screen for professionals, but awkward for everyone elseThe biggest drawback of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is that it's too large. Compared to other tablets, this 14.6-inch model is a behemoth, wider than even my MacBook Pro. Its size makes it awkward to hold, and it would be best used with the keyboard cover, especially if you're planning on working.
For the average user, having that much space is overkill and potentially a hindrance. If you're taking the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra on a plane, it will occupy most of the space on the tray table. On the other hand, for artists, a larger screen means more space to design and illustrate.
SEE ALSO: I'm no professional artist, but the Wacom One 14 makes me feel like one Is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra worth it? It may not look like it, but the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is a robust tablet — but it might be too big. Credit: Samantha Mangino / MashableThe Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra isn't for everyone. If you're a professional or creative individual looking for an Android tablet with ample power, then this is a worthwhile investment. I think it's priced a little too high compared to other tablets with similar specs, but the included S Pen makes it a better value.
However, if you're open to tablets of all operating systems, I think you have better options. For a large tablet with similar specs, Apple's 13-inch iPad Air with M3 chip offers better performance at a lower price of $1,099. If you're looking for a compact, travel-friendly Android tablet, consider the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3 instead.

Hurdle hints and answers for January 10, 2026
If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.
There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.
An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.
If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on January 10
The Moon is now in its Third Quarter, which means it’s half-illuminated and half in shadow. There's still lots to see on its surface for the time being, so keep reading to find out what you can spot.
What is today’s Moon phase?As of Saturday, Jan. 10, the Moon phase is Third Quarter. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 51% of the Moon will be lit up tonight.
If you look carefully, there should be lots to see tonight. With just your naked eye, you'll be able to catch a glimpse of the Mare Imbrium, Copernicus Crater the Aristarchus Plateau. If you have binoculars, you'll also be able to see the Grimaldi Basin, Alphonsus Crater, and the Mare Humorum. If you have a telescope, set it up and you'll see the Apollo 14 landing spot and the Schiller Crater.
When is the next Full Moon?The next Full Moon will be on Feb. 1. The last full moon was on Jan. 3.
What are Moon phases?NASA explains that the Moon takes about 29.5 days to complete a full orbit, a period known as the lunar cycle. As it moves around Earth, the Moon goes through a series of distinct phases. While the same side of the Moon always faces our planet, the sunlight hitting it changes depending on its position in orbit. This is why the Moon can appear fully lit, partially lit, or completely dark at different times. The lunar cycle includes eight main phases:
New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).
Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).
First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.
Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.
Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.
Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)
Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.
Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.
