Discover something new this October with these picks.

With so many great options at our fingertips, finding entertainment or inspiration online should be easy. But, reality paints a different picture: searches for a new movie to watch can result in endless scrolling; sometimes your playlists don’t come in clutch like they used to; even the Pinterest board you curated to your exact taste lets you down occasionally.
If you’ve found yourself in a lull, let us help. We’ve scoured the internet and found four sites you can use to discover something new this October.
A Good Movie to Watch
Enjoy a movie night with A Good Movie to Watch, a website that curates highly-recommended films. Their lists are complete with a review of each movie, so you know what you’re in for. Narrow your search by filtering results based on genre, year of release, language, age rating, and streaming service!
GNOOSIC
Spotify and Apple Music’s algorithms are great, but only go so far in introducing you to music you haven’t come across yet. Switch things up with GNOOSIC, a website that generates song and musician suggestions you don’t know about. Tell Gnod, the website’s AI-system, your three music faves and it’ll direct you to artists that make the kind of music you love.
Are.na
Use Are.na when you want a break from the ever-present algorithm. Are.na is a platform for connecting ideas and building knowledge. It’s focused on bringing you both visual and written content, and organizing the content that’s important to you. There’s a premium version that costs $5 per month, but we recommend giving the free version a spin.
i-Spy
Learn about new places with i-Spy, made by the Webby Award-winning agency Resh. The site lets you explore New Zealand from the comfort of your home while playing the classic game of I Spy. Explore breathtaking scenes, like Waipoua National Park and the Āpure Moana Marine Reserves by spotting one of the site’s many illustrated characters. You might need a magnifying glass–it’s deceptively hard, but fun and exciting!
