Chord Cutters Trying to Watch Any BIG Games This Weekend on Fox Using Roku Could End Up With a Headache. Here's Your Remedy



You may have heard that FOX may be unavailable on ROKU this weekend while the two companies hammer out a new agreement. This might put football fans in the dark. Locast, a nonprofit local broadcast TV streaming service, offers the Big Game (they won't let us say its name, it's absurd, do you know what I'm talking about? Of course, you do, everyone does, but here we are calling it the "Big Game" year after year. All because we are afraid of the watchful eye of Soron) on ROKU this Sunday in 17 cities. Locast is a free service available via an app on ROKU as well as other streaming platforms.

The game will be broadcast on your local FOX TV, and Locast provides local TV channels in the following designated market areas: Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, and Boston. Locast is also available in Sioux Falls and Rapid City, South Dakota, and Sioux City, Iowa.

To watch Locast on ROKU, simply download the free Locast app or visit www.locast.org to find out where Locast offers your local TV channels for free. With Locast, viewers can easily watch the game online, on-the-go, or at home via internet-connected computers, streaming media players, phones or tablets.

It's a great way to watch any bowl. Be it super or otherwise. Is that too close? Oh well, too late. Enjoy the game, or don't. Maybe watch a Friends episode on the CW, the choice is yours.

Explaining the Ending of MULHOLLAND DRIVE

MULHOLLAND DRIVE is a complex and surreal film directed by David Lynch, known for its non-linear narrative and dreamlike sequences. The ending is open to interpretation and has been the subject of much debate among viewers. Here's a breakdown of the ending: Diane's Dream vs. Reality: Throughout the film, there are two main narrative threads: one follows Betty/Diane's dreamlike experiences in Hollywood, and the other delves into Diane's harsh reality. The ending reveals that the majority of the film has been a dream constructed by Diane Selwyn, a failed actress, as a means to escape the guilt and pain of her actions. Betty/Diane's Descent into Madness: Betty, played by Naomi Watts, represents Diane's idealized self—a hopeful and innocent aspiring actress. However, as the film progresses, it becomes clear that Betty's story is unraveling, and her identity begins to merge with Diane's. This culminates in the revelation that Betty is merely a construct of Di...

4K Blu-ray Review: Drop (2025) — A Tense, Tech-Driven Thriller That Mostly Sticks the Landing

In Drop, director Christopher Landon (Freaky, Happy Death Day) crafts a nerve-wracking thriller centered on a devastating dilemma: would you take a life to save the ones you love? The story follows Violet, a widowed single mom attempting to re-enter the dating world after years of grief and recovery. Played with emotional precision by Meghann Fahy, Violet finds herself on a promising first date with the affable and seemingly genuine Henry (Brandon Sklenar) in an elegant, glass-walled Chicago restaurant. But their evening takes a sinister turn when Violet receives a disturbing message via a sleek, anonymous app called DigiDrop: if she doesn’t kill her date before the check arrives, her son and sister will die. What unfolds is a tightly wound 95-minute thriller that feels both classic and timely. The film builds its suspense through confinement, not action. Most of the story unfolds in real-time at their dinner table, creating a pressure-cooker environment that reflects Violet’s psycholo...
