“He’s the only person in the world I could say that line to,” the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” creator told Jimmy Kimmel.

“Fox is poisoning the minds of millions of Americans,” Max Boot wrote of the network’s landmark anniversary.

If you want to re-watch the original Cowboy Bebop show before Netflix’s live adaptation drops, you don’t have to go to another streaming service. Netflix has acquired the global streaming rights for all 26 episodes of the anime, and they’ll be available for streaming starting on October 21st, just a few weeks before the November 19th debut of the live series’ first season. The Cowboy Bebop anime first premiered in Japan in 1998 before making its way to the US via Adult Swim three years later. While it won’t be available on Netflix until the 21st, it’s currently streamable on Hulu. 

One might say that adding the anime to its catalogue before the live adaptation’s debut is bold on Netflix’s part, as it would make it easier to compare the two — especially since live anime adaptations haven’t been typically well received. There’s a way to merge the two shows if you think you’d enjoy it that way a lot more, though. 

According to Entertainment Weekly, the anime’s original voice actors are reprising their roles for the Japanese dub of the live action series. They include Koichi Yamadera as Spike, Taiten Kusunoki as Jet and Megumi Hayashibara as Faye. It’s also worth noting that original composer Yoko Kanno and original director Shinichirō Watanabe are both involved in the Netflix show. The live action adaptation stars John Cho as Spike, Mustafa Shakir as Jet Black and Daniella Pineda as Faye Valentine. And, of course, an adorable corgi as Ein.

Bowers & Wilkins has launched a new version of its iconic Zeppelin speaker, and the company says it was re-imagined for the streaming age. The audio device manufacturer describes the new Zeppelin as “smarter and more flexible” than its predecessors, with built-in support for Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant, so users can simply ask it to play whatever they want instead of using its physical buttons. In addition, B&W plans to give it multi-room capability in early 2022 through a software update. Once that arrives, users will be able to link several Zeppelins together or link a Zeppelin with other B&W speakers in a multi-room environment. 

For now, the new model supports AirPlay 2 and aptX Adaptive Bluetooth to give both iOS and Android users an easy way to stream audio from their devices. Like the previous version, it features Spotify Connect and can be controlled using the Bowers & Wilkins app, which gives it access to more streaming services like Deezer, Soundcloud and TIDAL. 

The new Zeppelin comes with two Decoupled Double-Dome tweeters mounted at the far edges for “a wide, spacious and highly accurate sound.” Plus, it has a new 150mm subwoofer for a deep, detailed bass. The 2021 model will be available starting today in Midnight Grey or Pearl Grey from retailers or from the company’s website. As potential buyers probably already expect, the high-end speaker won’t come cheap: It’ll set them back $799, which is $100 more than the previous version’s debut price.
