    The Cordkillers Guide to Streaming TV
    Jul 7 2026
    Tom, Brian, and Amos turn the streaming TV maze into a map: platforms, bundles, live TV replacements, FAST channels, library freebies, and the subscriptions you forgot you still had.Streaming PlatformsPlatforms collect subscriptions in one place, usually through one bill and one app. Roku, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google TV/YouTube, Walmart+, DirecTV Stream, Sling TV, YouTube TV, and cable-provider apps can all act as your main streaming “bucket.”The advice: pick one bucket if you can. It makes cancellation sweeps easier and helps avoid paying for services you are not using.Amazon Prime Video has the most add-on choice, Apple TV has strong subscription management, YouTube TV works well for live TV plus premium add-ons, Roku is budget-friendly, Sling TV is customizable, and DirecTV Stream is the cable-like sports-heavy option.Links: Roku⁠, Prime Video⁠, Apple TV⁠, Google TV⁠, Walmart+⁠, YouTube TV⁠, Sling TV⁠, DirecTV Stream⁠Discovery and AuditsJustWatch, FreeCast, Plex, Apple TV search, and Roku search can help find where something is streaming. AI finance tools can also help identify forgotten subscriptions.Links: JustWatch, FreeCast, Plex⁠BundlesBundles are smaller collections of services, often offered directly or through a phone, internet, or retail membership perk. Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN remain a major bundle. Peacock offers an Apple TV bundle, while T-Mobile, Verizon, Cricket Wireless, Metro by T-Mobile, and Google Fi include streaming perks on some plans.Brian gets HBO Max through a legacy AT&T Fiber perk and uses T-Mobile benefits for Netflix and Apple TV+. Amos uses Verizon for the Disney Bundle and Walmart+ for Paramount+ or Peacock.The warning: bundles save money, but canceling a phone or internet plan may mean losing perks you rely on.Links: Disney+⁠, Hulu⁠, ESPN+⁠, Peacock⁠, T-Mobile⁠, Verizon⁠, Google Fi⁠Live TV ReplacementsInternet-based live TV services provide linear channels without traditional cable installation or long contracts. Options include YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, Philo, Frndly TV, and Sling TV.Tom uses DirecTV Stream for sports and specific channels. Brian does not currently rely on a paid live TV replacement. Amos uses an antenna with HDHomeRun and Plex for broadcast TV, which comes up more in the hardware special.Links: Hulu + Live TV⁠, Fubo⁠, Philo⁠, Frndly TV⁠, HDHomeRun⁠FAST and Library StreamingFAST services are free ad-supported streaming TV, often built around always-on channel grids. Pluto TV, Xumo, Tubi, Prime Video Free Streaming, Samsung TV Plus, The Roku Channel, Zeam, Plex, and Sling Freestream are all options.Tom and Brian call FAST “waterfall television”: familiar, low-pressure programming you can leave on without thinking too hard. Kanopy and Hoopla are also worth checking through your local library.Links: Pluto TV⁠, Xumo⁠, Tubi⁠, Samsung TV Plus⁠, Roku Channel⁠, Zeam⁠, Kanopy⁠, Hoopla⁠Part two covers streaming hardware.

  • The FULL V: The Original Miniseries Experience

    The FULL V: The Original Miniseries Experience
    Jul 2 2026

    V holds up better than its 1983 laser budget has any right to: a sharp, human, uncomfortably relevant fascism allegory wrapped in lizard-people pulp. Part one soars, part two wobbles, but the whole thing still proves that nothing says “timeless sci-fi” like charismatic authoritarians, gullible collaborators, stolen water, and mice with very dramatic instincts.
