The Mysterious Benedict Society is available exclusively via Disney+. Launched with the first two episodes immediately available, future installments are released each Friday so you can keep up with the latest goings-on in this quirky mystery adventure.

The Society is established by Mr. Benedict, a smart man who is keen to improve the world. That’s because, during a global emergency from a suffering economy and an endless stream of bad news, the evil Mr. Curtain who runs The Institute — a similarly evil school — is sending messages that infiltrate one’s subconscious, making it easy for him to slip negative ideas and thoughts into anyone’s minds. It’s down to Mr. Benedict and his team of four kids to stop such evil plans and save the world, along with reducing the anxiety that’s spreading throughout the globe.

Quirky yet with some very relevant themes, it’s sure to be a hit with both you and your kids, and potentially spark some conversation too.

If you’re already subscribed to Disney+, you can head over and watch The Mysterious Benedict Society right now. Alternatively, if you’re new to Disney+ and haven’t signed up yet, the Disney+ subscription will cost you $8 per month or $80 per year. An even better deal is to upgrade to the Disney Bundle and get Disney+ along with ESPN+ and Hulu (ad-supported) for just $14 per month. That combination should give you and your family everything you could possibly want to watch and for a fantastic price too.

Subscribing to Disney+ gives you full access to all things Disney including the latest episodes of The Mysterious Benedict Society as they’re released, as well as the best movies on Disney+, the best Disney+ series, and all things Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and much more.

Will the new sports streaming service from Disney, Fox, and WBD mean you can finally cut the cord for good?

The Washington Commanders take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Aside from the NFL's Super Bowl, the big story of the month is a new sports streaming service coming from three of the major studios: Walt Disney Company, Fox Corp, and Warner Bros. Discovery. The new streamer will combine content from Disney's ESPN and ABC, Fox Sports, and WBD's TNT and TBS for a one-stop service that features NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football, and NCAA March Madness, FIFA World Cup, three Grand Slam tennis events, UFC, Formula 1, and NASCAR.

On the surface, it sounds like the ideal cable killer that sports fans and cord-cutters have been waiting for years to see. And it will likely hasten the departure of a significant amount of subscribers who have only stuck with cable for the sports channels. However, there are several questions that remain, which even the three partner studios haven't fully addressed yet. And we're going to dive into some of those issues now.
