“Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can I take your order?” Every millennial will know that phrase from Good Burger, the 1997 comedy with Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell. After a joyride leads to a car crash, high school student Dexter Reed (Thompson) is forced to get a summer job to pay for the damages.
Dexter takes a job at the struggling fast-food restaurant, Good Burger. At Good Burger, Dexter meets Ed (Mitchell), a kind but brainless employee. When the rival Mondo Burger moves in next door, Dexter and Ed come up with a plan to save Good Burger. Good Burger is like comfort food — it will put a smile on your face.

Before he became a Netflix stalwart, Sandler was one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars. During his climb to the top, Sandler starred in the charming Big Daddy, a comedy about a slacker who tries to be a father. After losing his girlfriend to an older man, Sonny Koufax (Adam Sandler) needs to make a change.
When a young kid named Julian (Dylan and Cole Sprouse) shows up on his door, Sonny sees it as a chance to prove he can be a responsible adult. Mixed in with the lewd humor is the heartwarming message about fatherhood and aging. The Sandman loves his happy endings.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
