Zachary Levi fights a dragon in 'Shazam: Fury of the Gods' trailer

It seems like only yesterday that Billy Batson (Asher Angel) gained the power to transform into his heroic alter ego, Shazam (Zachary Levi). But now, in Shazam: Fury of the Gods , Billy and his foster siblings' newfound powers are under attack by dangerous forces. Those forces are the daughters of the Greek god Atlas, led by Hespera (Helen Mirren). She's furious that humans would claim the power of gods, and now she and her sisters Kalypso (Lucy Liu) and Anthea (Rachel Zegler) have arrived in our world to wreak havoc. While the daughters of Atlas pose a massive threat, the Shazamily isn't going down without a fight. They'll just have to fight Hespera and her dragon first. Shazam: Fury of the Gods hits theaters March 17. from Mashable https://ift.tt/i7ELRQo https://ift.tt/e5twmuG

Get three months of Amazon Music Unlimited and Paramount+ for just $4.99 per month

SAVE $42: As of Jan. 25, new users can bundle both Amazon Music Unlimited and Paramount+ for $4.99 a month for three months. That's a total savings of about $42. There are so many streaming platforms nowadays, and so many fees for each of them. Luckily, Amazon's making things easy to combine streaming and listening with a limited-edition bundle on Amazon Music Unlimited and Paramount+. Both Amazon Music Unlimited and Paramount+ are available for $4.99 per month for three months (for new users to both services), which is a big discount off the original price. Amazon Music Unlimited usually costs $8.99 a month, while Paramount+ costs $9.99 a month, for a combined monthly cost of $18.98. This deal slashes almost three quarters of that, resulting in a savings of $13.99 per month, or about $42 over three months. (After three months, you'll pay full price for each subscription.)

Disney+ advertisers will soon get Hulu’s ad targeting capabilities

Disney Advertising held its annual Tech and Data Showcase today, revealing plans to roll out some of Hulu’s ad targeting capabilities to Disney+. When Disney+ launched its ad-supported tier last month, advertisers couldn’t target ads to specific audiences. By giving Disney+ advertisers access to Hulu’s ad-targeting tools, they can learn a user’s age, gender, and geo-location, which will likely help advertisers make more effective ads and bring in more revenue for both the ad agencies and Disney. In an exclusive interview with Digiday, Disney Advertising president Rita Ferro said Disney+ would get Hulu’s ad targeting capabilities beginning in April. By July, the full suite of tools will be available across Disney’s streaming portfolio, including ESPN+. Disney+ launches its ad-supported tier to compete with Netflix “The past few years we have been focused on building a complete, proprietary ad server for the entire Walt Disney Company. This gives us control over how we delive

Startups should expect more scrutiny from VCs on their hiring plans

Startups went on a hiring spree in 2021 as VC cash flowed and the job market was hot. But many overindulged in the talent pool and then had to make large cuts and layoffs in 2022. The worst for startups is likely still to come. This isn’t a pattern that companies are going to want to fall into again when the market recovers and subsequently ramps up. And maybe they won’t this time around, because VCs are likely going to start paying a lot more attention to how companies are spending their money on hiring. While many of the huge layoff numbers of the past year come from public names like Amazon and Microsoft , startups have also made notable cuts. Some, including Better.com , Bolt and Vimeo , have conducted multiple rounds of layoffs in the past year. Many expect layoffs among startups won’t slow down this year. But there’s hope we won’t see this again. Angela Lee, a professor at Columbia Business School, angel investor and venture partner, said founders generally state their hir
