Andy is a reporter in Memphis who has been contributing to BGR since 2015. His expertise in TV shows you probably don’t like is unmatched. When he’s not writing about technology, he can be found hunched protectively over his burgeoning collection of vinyl.
The multi-year wait for one of Netflix’s biggest shows of all time is almost over. The release of Stranger Things Season 4 is just days away — the first half of it, at any rate. According to the latest data from Netflix, Season 3 of this beloved franchise from the Duffer brothers has garnered more …
At the beginning of this year, it certainly looked like stimulus checks were going to be a thing of the past. A US Senator (Joe Manchin) had just signaled his opposition to continuing President Biden’s child tax credit checks, and that was that. Since then, however, states have taken up the mantle themselves, with one …
If you haven’t felt that the price has been quite right yet to sign up for any of the myriad Apple subscription products that the iPhone maker offers — such as Apple TV Plus, Apple News Plus, or Apple Arcade — it might be worth your while to check out a series of discounts that …
It never fails.

It’s why, for example, Californians might be getting money to offset high gas prices …
Roku finally did it, more than a year after the company first dipped its toe into the original programming waters. Over the weekend, the streamer debuted season one of Children Ruin Everything — a comedy from Canada with one of the best husband-wife relationships I’ve ever seen on a sitcom, and plenty of heart to …
Conservatives excoriated it as a totalitarian-style Ministry of Truth. Its director’s bizarre TikTok video, in which she sang about disinformation in the style of a Mary Poppins ditty, was played over and over again on Fox News and by other conservative media.
