Want to save money on your streaming? It's time to embrace commercials
Every time I watch my favorite TV show, I have to sit through commercial breaks. And I don't mind. As a TV critic amid our current streaming revolution, I've sat comfortably on my couch enjoying my Netflix and Disney+ and HBO Max without ever having to suffer the indignities of a car commercial. Yet my obsession of the moment − the hilarious and somewhat niche British TV panel series "Taskmaster" − is only available in the U.S. on YouTube, and I don't pay to go ad-free. So betwixt and between every silly scene of Jason Mantzoukas doing a dumb-but-funny "task" comes an ad for a sports betting app or Dunkin' drinks, and my focus drifts away to my phone or my husband for five minutes, and then the British buffoonery begins anew. But I still get the laughs, and don't have to pay YouTube a cent. Faced with the choice of happily watching 19 seasons of "Taskmaster" with occasional ad breaks or watching my monthly bill for the major streaming services rise even more, I'm starting to come around to the idea that sitting through commercials isn't that bad. The price of streaming is getting out of control: Peacock is just the latest streamer to raise its monthly fees to the stratosphere: As of July 23, it costs $17 a month to watch the "Love Island" streamer without commercials. And that's just one among many: Watching the latest season of "Squid Game" without interruptions will nearly double the price of Netflix, to $18 a month. The rest of life is too expensive, with inflation hitting groceries, housing and everything else, for your entertainment to take up such a big part of your budget. If you subscribe to more than one service's premium ad-free tier, the costs add up quickly. To go ad-free, you're paying an extra $10 for Netflix, $6 for Disney+, $3 for Prime Video, $6 for Peacock, $7 for HBO Max, $5 for Paramount+ and $9 for Hulu. Tally it all up and suddenly "cutting the cord" is way more expensive than cable ever was: If you subscribed to all seven of these services, you could save $552 a year by watching ads. Many families are looking to cut frivolous expenses. But you don't need to sacrifice great entertainment for the sake of your budget. Just accept the commercial breaks. Your parents did it their whole lives. Though I might have once been a snob about sitting through ads, happily inhaling "Stranger Things," "Andor" or "The Summer I Turned Pretty" with nary an interruption, the increased prices have me coming back around again to this partial solution to our financial woes. I don't need premium everything. Just enough to get by. Streaming services led by Netflix burst onto the media landscape in the 2010s promising, among other innovations, commercial-free TV and movies. While broadcast and cable networks need ad breaks to pay the bills, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video and the like promised your low monthly subscription fees were all they ever needed. So I, like so many of you, streamed with anti-capitalist glee, proud to not be learning any more cat-food jingles than I already knew. And if I wanted to watch a network or cable show I had plenty of commercial-free options, from next-day streaming to DVR. But that was when Apple only made technology, not TV shows, when a month of Netflix cost less than a Chipotle burrito and there were more than 400 new scripted TV shows premiering every year. Streaming was shiny and new and growing, the money for new shows flowed freely and there were only a handful of services to choose from. Now there are more than a baker's dozen of streamers, network TV is shrinking with increasing speed and prices are rising while simultaneously streamers cut back on their offerings. If you're ever going to make the jump back into the land of ad-supported TV, now is the time. Streamers are purposefully keeping those prices down to encourage viewers to switch from premium to ad tiers, because they can make more money that way by selling both commercials and subscriptions. The savings may not always be this big. I won't sugarcoat it: Commercials are annoying. There's a reason commercial-free TV was one of the original selling points of streaming. Ads are loud, manipulative and distracting to lure you into parting with more of your hard-earned cash. But once upon a time that was the only way to watch TV, yet access to outstanding classics, from CBS's "I Love Lucy" to NBC's "Friends" or ABC's "Lost," was worth the tradeoff. The idea of the commercial break is so ingrained in TV storytelling that writers have long used it to their advantage: Building the action to a cut-to-black before ads is a structure many classic TV series employ. Going back to watching that way is just like riding a bike, albeit one with "WELLS FARGO" printed on the side. But the pedals still work, the jokes still hit and everyone saves a dime or two.

I got an early look at the 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' trailer, and now I'm burning to see more
Last night, I attended a media screening for "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" at IMAX Sydney that held a special bonus for those who turned up early: Disney would be offering an early look at the upcoming trailer for "Avatar: Fire and Ash" ahead of the film, and not only that, the trailer would be shown in IMAX 3D. In fact, the trailer wasn't just shown once, but on a loop for around 20 minutes. I stopped counting after the first few times, but I would estimate that the trailer was shown around ten times in a row. Admittedly, the trailer kinda lost some of its initial wow factor after a few watches. That said, I'm still really excited to see the movie, as it looks like the most epic entry in the 'Avatar' franchise yet. While the trailer itself isn't online yet, it will be attached to theatrical showings of "The Fantastic Four: First Steps", which releases this Friday in the US. In the meantime, here's what I saw. Meet Varang in Avatar: Fire and among the first to watch the trailer, exclusively in theaters this weekend with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. 21, 2025 Right from the outset, it's clear that "Fire and Ash" will be the most intense chapter in the "Avatar" saga yet. For the first time, we see hostility amongst the Na'vi clans, with Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and the oceanic Metkayina clan drawn into a conflict with the Mangkwan clan, or Ash People, as they're also known. The Mangkwan are a clearly formidable clan, demonstrating a mastery of fire. Throughout the trailer, they are shown spreading fire from their fingertips, shooting flaming arrows, and burning down sections of forest. The trailer also shows the return of Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), whose Avatar form is shown walking alone into the Ash People territory. It's a more desolate area than we're used to seeing on Pandora, with an enormous volcano spewing red lava in the distance in one shot. The Ash People are led by Varang (Oona Chaplin), a Na'vi female with an unsettling presence who wears a red and black headdress and red war paint on her hands and face. At one point, Ouaritch is shown wearing the same red paint, indicating he will team up with the Varang in an attempt to take down the Sully family once and for all. Although the trailer doesn't outright explain the conflict, it's clear that the Ash People are ideologically opposed to the typical Na'vi way of life, outright rejecting the deity Eywa and choosing to live disconnected from the natural world that other Na'vi hold sacred. It also appears that Kiri (Sigourney Weaver) will once again play a major part in the story. In the trailer, we see Ronal (Kate Winslet) tell her, "If there's something you can do, then you must do it." During another moment, Varang eerily leans in towards Kiri and delivers the trailer's standout line, "Your goddess has no dominion here." As for Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), it appears as though the Sully matriarch has grown even angrier since the events of "Avatar: The Way of Water", with Jake at one point telling her "You cannot live like this, baby.... In hate!" Elsewhere, the trailer has plenty of action, including large-scale battles, the return of the Tulkun, and the character of Spider (Jack Champion) still seemingly torn about whether to side with the Na'vi or his fellow humans. For me, the trailer's most tantalizing moment is the scene depicting Jake's capture by human forces, where he's led before cheering crowds taking photos. Could this be the end of Jake Sully? I certainly hope not. Needless to say, I can't wait to see more of "Avatar: Fire and Ash". It looks to be the most epic and emotional entry in the series yet, and I've learned to never doubt director James Cameron. "Avatar: Fire and Ash" hits theaters on December 19 in the US and UK, and December 18 in Australia. With my hype for the movie now at an all-time high, I think I'll be diving into the "Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora" video game while I count the days until opening night.

WandaVision Director Comments on Scarlet Witch's Potential MCU Return
WandaVision director Matt Shakman has finally addressed the possibility of the Scarlet Witch's potential return in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For his work on the acclaimed Disney+ series, Shakman received two Emmy nominations including Outstanding Directing and Outstading Limited or Anthology Series. This comes after over three years since Elizabeth Olsen's fan-favorite character seemingly died at the end of Sam Raimi's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Since then, Marvel Studios has been silent about their future plans for the Scarlet Witch, leading fans to think that Wanda Maximoff might be really gone from the MCU. WandaVision director teases Scarlet Witch's potential return During a recent interview with ScreenRant, when asked if he believes that Olsen's Scarlet Witch is really dead, Shakman gave a hopeful response by revealing that 'Wanda's never gone.' This seemingly hints at the possibility of the complex character's return in future MCU projects. In addition, Shakman also shared the similarities between his experiences working on WandaVision and directing Marvel Studios' upcoming The Fantastic Four: First Steps. He explained that he was able to experiment in both projects' style and tone, which was something he loved as a filmmaker. 'They're both so joyful. I think of these two as the highlights of my directing career,' he revealed. 'Working on WandaVision was amazing. That world, the cast is incredible. Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Kathryn Hahn, (everybody). We had so much fun, and it was very specific, and we had a lot of rehearsal before we started, because I wanted everybody to understand the sitcom realities and tone and style that we were in.' Disney+ Has the Best Bundle in the Business Sign-up today for access to Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ Learn More Sign-ups support Superhero Hypevia affiliate commission Shakman continued, 'It was similar here (The Fantastic Four: First Steps). We had three weeks of rehearsal before we started shooting, because we were building a very specific world. We had to build a family that felt lived in, that felt real, and we had to build this '60s world that had a coherence to it in terms of aesthetics, but also style, tone, and how you approach the movie. So, both of them were stylistic and tonal experiments, which I love doing as a filmmaker. (They're) very different, but [there were] some lessons learned between the two.'
