- Aaron Sorkin's sequel to "The Social Network" aims to critique a shameless ruling class but is already feeling outdated in the current social reckoning.
- The filmmakers of "Godzilla Minus Zero" created realistic monster roars using speakers on an outdoor dam, unintentionally frightening nearby bystanders.
- A new platform called Verifact Markets is innovating by allowing users to trade on "disputed facts," expanding the concept of prediction markets.
