For humanity to survive, they must team with robots to fight the real enemy in the trailer for The Electric State.

Millie Bobby Brown stars as Michelle, a young teenager who embarks on a journey across a retrofuturistic United States to find her missing brother (Woody Norman). Joining Michelle on this journey is her yellow robot, Cosmo (Alan Tudyk), and a drifter named Keats (Chris Pratt). After a failed uprising, robots were banished to the barren 200-square-mile area called the “Electric State.” Michelle realizes her answers might be found in this banned area and that robots hold the key to her brother’s location.

The Electric State’s ensemble includes Ke Huy Quan as Dr. Amherst, Stanley Tucci as Ethan Skate, Jason Alexander as Ted Finnster, Giancarlo Esposito as Colonel Bradbury, Anthony Mackie as Herman, Woody Harrelson as Mr. Peanut, Brian Cox as Pop Fly, Jenny Slate as Penny Pal, and Hank Azaria as Perplexo.

The Russo Brothers directed The Electric State from a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. The Electric State is based on Simon Stålenhag’s sci-fi novel of the same name. The Russos have not directed a feature film since 2022’s The Gray Man, the action thriller starring Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans. The Gray Man is currently the seventh most popular movie on Netflix.

The Russo Brothers will soon depart Netflix for Marvel to helm the next two Avengers movies: Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Production begins this spring in London.

The Electric State streams on March 14 on Netflix.

How to stop watching YouTube Shorts?

I’ll be honest — I have zero self-control when it comes to YouTube Shorts. It doesn’t matter if I’m working or casually watching TV; the moment one short grabs my attention, I’m pulled straight into an endless scroll I didn’t really sign up for. And that’s the last thing I need when I’m trying to stay focused. Back in October last year, YouTube introduced a timer to help limit how long you spend on Shorts. It was helpful, but it didn’t quite solve the problem. Now, there’s finally a way to remove Shorts from your feed altogether. I had to try it for myself, and safe to say, it makes a real difference. Here’s how you can get rid of Shorts from your feed and keep the distractions at bay.

YouTube Premium is suddenly half off, but only if you buy into Google One

YouTube Premium got harder to justify after its recent price hikes, and YouTube Music Premium also followed soon after. But Google now has a new way to make the bill sting a little less.

The Gemini team just announced a bundle deal that lets users get 50% off YouTube Premium for a whole year. But while this sounds solid on paper, this is not a no-strings-attached promo deal.
