A young prince watches in terror as his father, the king, is murdered. The killer turns on the prince, but he escapes, survives, and years later, reappears to reclaim the throne and get his revenge. That’s the very basic setup for The Northman, the powerful and moving new film by co-writer and director Robert Eggers.…

New research continues to find evidence that psilocybin—the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms—can uniquely help people with depression.

Nicolas Cage rules. He can overact beautifully but can turn in measured, powerful performances like Pig; his body of work, from Raising Arizona to his new film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, is as fascinating as it is stellar; and while he’s certainly odd he’s also incredibly genuine.

Roku support was conspicuously absent when CNN+ launched last month, but that won’t be a problem after today. CNN+ is now available on the Roku platform in the US, including TVs and dedicated media players. You won’t have access to the interactive Club community feature (that requires a PC, phone or tablet), but you’ll otherwise get the same mix of live shows and on-demand programming. This includes the live CNN TV feed.
The service costs $6 per month or $60 per year. Anyone who subscribes within the first four weeks can get 50 percent off the monthly plan for life, dropping the cost to $36 per year (for now, at least).
CNN+ was already accessible through Android mobile devices, Apple hardware (including Apple TV) and Amazon’s Fire TV. This still leaves significant gaps, such as consoles and multiple smart TV platforms. Even so, it’s evident CNN wants to make its service relatively ubiquitous — virtually necessary if it’s going to compete with Paramount+, Peacock and other streaming rivals.
