"Altered Carbon" on Netflix is about a prisoner who returns to life in a new body after 250 years on ice...but he doesn't return to earth as we know it. Technology has taken over and human consciousness now resides in a chip. Tim Stenovec sits down with cast members Joel Kinnaman, Martha Higareda, and James Purefoy to discuss their relationships with technology and what they want people to take away from the new series.
Will humans and tech mirror the show and merge in real life? The cast members talk about how they separate technology with their family time. As "tech-lash" has taken over, they talk about how the show relates with life as we know it now.
Plus, does the cast prep any differently to work on a Netflix show compared to a cable show? Purefoy says absolutely not. He compares the series to a ten-hour-long movie. He and Higareda like the idea of binging, whereas Kinnaman wants people to spread the weath and take their time watching "Altered Carbon." The show premiered on Netflix February 2nd.

A year after the r/WallStreetBets community on Reddit drove GameStop and other meme stocks to unprecedented heights, the subreddit seems to be losing its luster among retail investors. Caitlin McCabe, markets and retail trading reporter from The Wall Street Journal, joined Cheddar to talk about the waning popularity of the group “Users are going on to find the next GameStop, and instead, they're seeing many of the new users who have joined the subreddit still talking about GameStop and AMC," McCabe noted. "And, they've become frustrated as they're ready to move on from those original meme stocks."
