All I want is a music streaming service that properly pays musicians, integrates with my smart speakers, has a big library and when I search for a song doesn't play me cheap covers or AI slop. Maybe someday someone will get around to making one.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
