A showcase for what modern filmmaking can do.
Pixar's environmental masterpiece.
A dystopian future we could plausibly end up in. Some episodes are poor, though.
A fun sitcom, even if the quality varies.
Heartbreaking look at poverty and resilience. Margaret Qualley's performance is raw and real.

The first two seasons are exceptionalโthe best seasons of any TV show I've watched.
Pretty good actors, but does get repetitive/formulaic (as sort of expected on a show like this) at the end (last 3-4 seasons). Great views of Manhattan though!

A character study built around chess. Anya Taylor-Joy is phenomenal here and elsewhere.
Jack Rhysider tells true cybercrime stories with exceptional pacing and detail.
Jupiter Broadcasting at their best.

Luke's views on modern society, religion, and tech culture. I don't agree with everything, but the episodes give me plenty to think about.
Favorite Episodes:
- The Economy is Fake, the Jobs Are Fake, the Money Is Fake
- When You're Too Rational to Be Rational!
1-2 hour deep dives into programming topics. Great for learning new concepts. Seriously, it's awesome!
It's been discontinued. I also really loved Linux Action News when it was around. Also from Jupiter Broadcasting.
Wes Bos and Scott Tolinski keep me current on web development. I pick episodes by topic rather than listening to every one.
Alex gives practical business advice and explains it clearly.

27 conflicting answers to an impossible question. Short, sweet, and thought-provoking (and mostly stuff you've already thought about but just never put into words).
Wealth and happiness principles. Timeless wisdom combined with his (Naval's) podcast and tweets.
Ancient Toltec wisdom for personal freedom. Simple but profound: be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions, and always do your best.
I just like Luke Smith man, can you blame me?
Y Combinator founder's essays on startups and life. Each one is a masterclass.
