Prime Target kicks off with a fascinating premise: Edward Brooks (Leo Woodall) is on the brink of unraveling the mathematical secrets that safeguard every computer system in the world. The thrilling puzzle at the root of Edwards work positions the Apple TV+ drama for brilliance, but as the doe-eyed prodigy is pulled into a dangerous web of intellectual espionage and conspiratorial intrigue alongside NSA agent Taylah Sanders (Quintessa Swindell), Prime Target starts to lose its footing. While the opening episodes establish a sharp and engaging story grounded in a cozy Cambridge setting brimming with tweedy charms, its later, international-spy-thriller portions begin to feel like a Dan Brown novel blending egghead enigmas with grand conspiracies. The race to crack the pattern within the prime numbers underpinning most modern cryptographic security stumbles into the same pitfalls as the film versions of Browns The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, as its embrace of big ideas is accompanied by dull info dumps, uneven pacing, and an overreliance on scenes of people doing research, pointing at screens, or reading old notes with intense stares.As Prime Target progresses, the journey begins to feel less compelling than the destination. It stretches itself thin over eight episodes, relying on filler and exposition that sap the story of its momentum. The tight construction and engaging question marks of the opening chapters are overtaken by repetition, with Edward and Taylah moving from one cryptic clue to the next, interspersed with vague, ominous warnings about the importance and apparent danger of numbers divisible only by 1 or themselves. These warnings become the shows awkward mantra, crowbarred into nearly every episode as if to remind viewers that the plot is still moving forward. I found the concept of an apocalyptic mathematical discovery undeniably cool, but the execution lacks the spark to make it feel genuinely thrilling or believable. Theres too much self-seriousness on display to allow for a full embrace of the concepts fun. In its place: a hatful of melodrama that mostly feels unearned.The characters are drawn just as flimsily. Thankfully, both leads deliver strong performances: Woodall plays Edward as the quintessential genius whose intellect seems almost too vast for the mundane concerns of everyday life,capturing a mix of youthful brilliance and prickly, too-smart-for-the-world hostility. And Swindell brings a calculated intensity to Taylah, tempered by moments of subtle, grounding warmth. Theyre intriguing protagonists, but their arcs still feel underdeveloped, with motivations shifting without much explanation and arguments that blow up seemingly out of nowhere. The supporting characters fare worse, often reduced to shallow vehicles for exposition and plot. Any attempts to goose the energy levels through globetrotting location changes come across as artificial distractions rather than meaningful advancements in the story.Eventually, Prime Target begins to buckle under the weight of its ambition. The tension dissipates as the story meanders, weighed down by superficial drama and a lack of compelling new plot points. While there are moments of genuine intrigue particularly in the way the writers weave Edwards work into the main storyline these moments are too fleeting to sustain momentum. Ultimately, the show is undermined by a lack of confidence in its own ideas. While it shines in moments particularly in the early episodes and remains fairly watchable throughout, it ultimately fails to live up to the grand spy-thriller potential its opening episodes tease.

In 2020, Joaquin Phoenix won an Academy Award for Best Actor for playing Arthur Fleck inJoker.In 2025, Phoenix was nominated for a Razzie for Worst Actor playing the exact same role inJokers sequel,Folie Deux.This sounds like a joke. But like pretty much everything inFolie Deux, it is not.Was Phoenix that much better playing this samecharacter in the first movie? I dont think so. Whatever you think of Joker: Folie Deux and I was certainly not a massive fan I dont think Phoenix was the problem. He was fully committed to his role, singing and dancing and generallybringing as much tortured humanity andmental instability as he possibly could to Arthur Fleck.But themovie around him was often a chore and it felt at times like it was deliberately composed toput fans of the original movie on trial. Half the film was set in a mental hospital, and half the film was set in a courtroom, as Gotham Citys district attorney tries Phoenixs Arthur Fleck for his crimes from Joker.YetFolie Deuxwasnt a compelling character study or a gripping legal thriller.But, again, thats not on Phoenix. He didnt write the film. (And in fact Lady Gaga waskind ofgood inJoker:Folie Deuxin spite of its conceptual issues,and she got nominated for a Razzie for Worst Actress anyway, but thats another matter entirely.)JK2_NT_230222_0750273.dngWarner Bros.loading...READ MORE: The Best Performances in Bad MoviesWhile as far as I can tell this exact circumstance being nominated for a Razzie for reprising a rolethat previously won an actor their Oscar is without precedent in the history of the Oscars and the Razzies, its almosthappened before. One prior actor was nominated for an Oscar and laterwona Razzie for reprising the same role.Thats Sylvester Stallone, who earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for the firstRockyand then years laterwon the Worst Actor Razzie for playing Rocky Balboa inRocky IV. (He was also nominated for Worst Actor as Rocky forRocky V, but that year he lost to Andrew Dice Clay fromThe Adventures of Ford Fairlane.)What does this all mean? Absolutely nothing! Its utterly meaningless.

The number one name in bad movie awards is, for better or worse, the Razzie Awards. And as is tradition, they announce their annual nominees right before the Academy Awards announcetheirannual contenders. And so the Razzie nominees for 2024 are here.The list, unsurprisingly, is dominated bythe infamous Spider-Man spinoffMadame Web which was nominated for Worst Picture, Worst Actress (Dakota Johnson), Worst Supporting Actor (Tahar Rahim), Worst Supporting Actress (Emma Roberts), Worst Director (S.J. Clarkson), and Worst Screenplay and the notorious box-office and critical flopJoker: Folie a Deux with nominations forIn other words, both movies were nominated for almost every single award.READ MORE: The Craziest Moments From the OriginalRoad HouseOther big, uh, winners include the video game adaptationBorderlands, which was nominated for multiple awards including Worst Picture, and Francis Ford Coppolas wildly expensive personal projectMegalopolis, which got a Worst Picture nomination, along with a Worst Director nominee for Coppola.Which is absolutely ludicrous in my opinion.Megalopoliswas a mess at times, but it was also extremely ambitious, with a point of view and a lot on its mind. It was trying to do something and to say something, and at times it was genuinely beautiful. (It was often very funny too, although it was not always easy to tellwhether it was intentionally hilarious or not.)In other words, Megalopoliswas a world apart from something likeMadame Web, which was barely a movie at all and clearly made as part of an effort by Sony to exploit their Spider-Man IP in any way they possible could, regardless of whether that exploitation containeda shred of a compelling narrative reason to exist.Butthis is always the Razzies M.O. They mix legitimately terrible movies and performances with cheap shots. This year they nominated any two Comedic Actors in Jerry SeinfeldsUnfrostedfor Worst Onscreen Combo instead of actually picking two poor performances.. They also nominatedKraven the Hunter (a bad movie, mind you) for WorstPrequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel, even though it is none of those things. This is just what they do, and have always done.Heres the full list of Razzie nominees for 2024.

Giselle Castro-Sloboda/ CNETIf your current protein powder isn't cutting it or you're new to protein powders and unsure what to choose, we've done the research for you. This protein source is an easy way increase protein intake in your diet to build muscle mass and improve your overall nutrition. With the amino acids in the protein powders, your body can more easily recover from workouts and build strength. The total amount of recommended protein is0.36 grams of protein per pound (0.8 grams per kilogram) of body weight per day. If you're not getting enough in your regular diet, that's where high-quality protein powders can help.While it's true that some supplements on the market are sketchy at best, there are safe and reliable options available, too. And, if you're new to protein powders, it's helpful to know that there are two common types to make you're getting enough protein: whey protein powder and plant-based protein powder.We tested multiple protein powders on the market to narrow the best whey and plant-based protein powders down. Check out our top picks below that we think you'll enjoy. $37 at Amazon Huel is a brand that I spotted in a social media ad and it piqued my interest because of the variety it has to offer. The company has several product lines, including protein shakes and powders as well as meal replacement shakes. Each product includes 27 essential vitamins and minerals, fatty acids, carbs and other nutrients. It's low-sugar and dairy-free.Huel's protein powder is made up of pea, faba and hemp powder. Even though the brand says its plant protein has a neutral flavor, I'd disagree because there is a distinct difference upon tasting it that makes it stand out compared to other plant-based proteins. After trying flavors from both the Black Edition and Complete Protein lines, I established that my favorite Huel flavor was the vanilla caramel flavor from the Complete Protein line. I blended it with iced coffee and oat milk and it tasted like a delicious specialty flavored iced latte you would order from your local coffee shop. I'm not even a fan of caramel, but I was impressed by the flavor profile and smooth consistency of the beverage. I also had no negative side effects and the aftertaste was minimal with this one.One serving of Huel's Complete Protein contains 20 grams of protein and 110 calories. This makes it an ideal drink to have post-workout or as a snack, but if you're looking for something to hold you over a little longer, Huel's Black Edition, Huel Powder and Ready-to-Drink options are considered complete meals, with 400 calories and extra protein.ProsVanilla Caramel flavor blends well with coffee and milkWell thought-out, plant-based formula across all Huel's productsIncludes probiotics, which is important for gut healthConsExpensive; it has to be acquired as part of a subscription or one-time purchase bundleFlavor isn't as consistent across the Complete Protein and Black Edition lineHemp and faba may not be a favored plant-based ingredient for everyone I'm particularly sensitive when it comes to whey-based protein powders, but was pleasantly surprised by Ascent's take on protein powder. I've used this whey protein isolate powder consistently over the past year and have found no negative side effects. Whey protein isolate powder is a refined form of protein powder, making it ideal if you are just looking for a powder in its purest form. Ascent's vanilla and chocolate flavors are delicious, stomach-friendly and have no weird aftertaste. They also blend well with other ingredients, such as fruits and leafy greens if you're looking to boost your protein shakes.Ascent's whey-based powders have 25 grams of protein per serving, consisting of 12 grams of essential amino acids (necessary for muscle health) and 2.7 grams of leucine (important to stimulate muscle growth). They're gluten-free and use stevia as a sweetener instead of sugar. If you're looking for a low-carb, no-added-sugar and easy-to-mix whey-based powder (with water or milk) then you'll love this product.ProsBlends well with different milks and waterNo negative gastrointestinal side effects during my testsGood flavored whey protein isolate optionConsExpensive for a two-pound bag and requires a subscription or one-time purchase on websiteNo price difference through third-party sellersFlavor variety is slightly lacking

Netflix has introduced a new type of extra member account: extra members with ads.The streamer announced the new offering in a shareholder letter on Tuesday before its fourth-quarter earnings call. In the US, according to Netflix's help site, adding an extra member with ads costs $7 per month, and the option is available alongside the pre-existing extra member accounts that do not have ads.Per Netflix's site, these extra member accounts work similarly to the previous version as a way to pay more for an additional person located in a different household. You'll need an ad-free type of Netflix -- either Standard or Premium -- to purchase an extra member slot. Netflix Premium subscribers can add up to two slots, and Standard customers get one. Extra members have a separate account and password.Netflix also announced price increases on Tuesday. Now, the ad-based extra member version costs $1 per month less than the Standard with Ads plan and $2 less than an ad-free extra member account.Other than the price, a difference between being an extra member with ads and a Standard with Ads subscriber is that extra members can only watch and download on one device at a time. Standard with ads members get two simultaneous screens and devices for downloading. Extra members get one profile, and Standard with Ads customers get up to five.In the shareholder letter, Netflix said it aimed to give members "additional choice and flexibility" with the extra member offering. Ad-supported sign-ups accounted for over 55% of sign-ups in Netflix's ads countries in its fourth quarter, according to the letter, and ad-based membership grew close to 30% quarter over quarter.
