Consumer Cellular is giving its SpeakEasy wireless brand a bigger job. The company has launched SpeakEasy Connect Care+, a new connected-care service built directly into its SpeakEasy phones.

Having now topped the domestic box office for the sixth weekend in a row, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is in rarefied air. This past weekend, it became only the second movie in history to gross more than $900 million at the domestic box office. The film’s global haul now stands at $2.4 billion, making it the third-biggest hit of all time, behind only Avengers: Endgame and Avatar.

File this one under… wait, wtf?! Investigation Discovery’s new O.J. Simpson documentary, O.J. Unseen: Exploitation of Evil, dives into the wild world of Juiced, the ill-fated 2006 hidden-camera prank show starring O.J. Simpson. Premiering across two nights, the four-part documentary features never-before-seen footage from Juiced and firsthand accounts from the show’s production team as they reflect on one of pop culture’s most controversial television experiments. “An extreme experiment in the reality TV genre during a time that fused shock value and celebrity culture at any cost, for Simpson, the show was a misguided and desperate attempt to rehabilitate his public…
