Just in time to create a new Super Bowl ad, Crypto.com founder Kris Marszalek has made the priciest domain purchase in history, buying AI.com for $70 million, according to the Financial Times. The deal, paid entirely in cryptocurrency to an unknown seller, shatters previous records. (Broker Larry Fischer, who facilitated the sale, is presumably celebrating his good fortune.)
Marszalek plans to debut the site during Sunday’s big game, offering consumers a personal AI agent for messaging, app usage, and stock trading. “If you take a long-term view — 10 to 20 years – [AI] is going to be one of the greatest technological waves of our lifetime,” he told the FT.
The purchase rewrites the domain record books — not that crypto industry itself is known for its restraint when it comes to spending. Previously, CarInsurance.com held the crown at $49.7 million (2010), followed by VacationRentals.com ($35 million in 2007) and Voice.com ($30 million in 2019). Other eye-popping sales include PrivateJet.com ($30 million), 360.com ($17 million), and Sex.com, which has sold twice for over $13 million each time, though its second owner went bankrupt trying to monetize it.
“With assets like AI.com, there are no substitutes,” Fischer told the FT. “When one becomes available, the opportunity may never present itself again.”
Whether these mega-dollar domains actually deliver returns remains an open question. But for Marszalek, who already owns Crypto.com and dropped $700 million on stadium naming rights, owning two category-defining domains is apparently worth the outlay.
Sports fans everywhere would agree there’s really no better name for an event than “Super Bowl.” It’s just so simple. So perfect. College football has a million bowl games, and some of them have really cool names: Sugar Bowl, Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, etc. But there has to be one bowl to rule them all, and what better word for it than “super”?
As the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots get ready to clash in the 60th Super Bowl on Sunday, we decided to look at that word itself. What else is “super” in pop culture? And not just in general. What is literally called “super”? Below are our 15 favorite movies with “super” in the title.
15. Super Pumped (2022)
We’re putting this at 15 only because it’s not a movie. It’s a TV show. But it’s a really good TV show with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the founder of Uber alongside Kyle Chandler, Uma Thurman, and more, so we think it’s certainly super.
14. Super Buddies (2013)
By definition, the Air Bud franchise has no basis in reality. So the fact that Bud and his buddies got to become superheroes in this sequel makes all the sense in the world.
13. Supervixens (1975)
Director Russ Meyer always knew exactly what he was doing with his movies, and one of the best examples is Supervixens, a very of-its-time exploitation film featuring all manner of buxom beautiful women with the word “super” in their name. Why? More like “Why not?”
12. The Super (1991)
Not all “super” movies are about “super” people. Case in point, 1991’s The Super, which stars Joe Pesci as a landlord who is forced to live in one of his own buildings. It’s pretty bad in terms of 1990s Joe Pesci movies, but it’s still a 1990s Joe Pesci movie.
11. DC League of Super Pets (2022)
Clearly, there’s going to be some DC representation on this list, right? But slightly lower than those other Super movies we’ll get to soon is this surprisingly cute animated film.
10. The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
I don’t love this movie, but most people do, and I will still admit that it’s pretty special to see a franchise as beloved by so many become such a big, beautiful, wildly successful movie.
9. My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006)
Uma Thurman stars as a superhero dumped by a normal guy (Luke Wilson); she then terrorizes him for revenge. It’s not great, but it was directed by the legendary Ivan Reitman, who has a lot of fun blending the superhero and romantic comedy genres.
8. Super 8 (2011)
J.J. Abrams’ love letter to Amblin and the films of Steven Spielberg doesn’t quite live up to those standards, but, when compared to some of the other movies on this list, certainly is better than the others. Also, how can you not put Super 8 at eighth?
7. Supercop (1992)
One of the earliest Jackie Chan movies to get a wide release in the U.S., Supercop (which is actually Police Story 3) is classic Jackie, with all the action, stunts, and laughs you’d expect. It’s not one of his best, but it’s highly entertaining.
6. Super Fly (1972)
One of the marquee films of the blaxploitation genre, Super Fly is a super cool crime thriller with one of the best soundtracks of all time. A stone-cold classic.
5. Super Size Me (2004)
One of the best ideas for a documentary ever, filmmaker Morgan Spurlock decided to find out what would happen if he ate McDonald’s every day for a month. Spoiler alert, it’s not good. For him. The movie is very good.
4. Super (2010)
Before he got his hands on that other Super character (don’t worry, we’re getting there), James Gunn wrote and directed this very underrated action comedy starring Rainn Wilson, Elliot Page, and many others. It’s pretty messed up, but that makes it great.
3. Super Troopers (2001)
For many, this would clearly be the top choice of “super” movies. And don’t get us wrong, we love this hilarious police comedy made by and starring the Broken Lizard gang. It’s timeless. But another super character is just a little more timeless.
2. Superman: The Movie (1978)
This list could’ve easily just been Superman movies, but where’s the Joe Pesci/Air Bud/McDonald’s fun in that? Instead, we’re going to choose the Richard Donner original to just cover them all. James Gunn’s 2025 version, the Donner sequel, Dawn of Justice, and all of them. Consider this every Superman movie rolled up into one. Well, except for…
1. Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story (2024)
Yes, we’re ending this “super” list on a serious note. This documentary about the actor who portrayed Superman and the incredible yet tragic life he led is truly everything the word “super” is about. A can’t-miss guaranteed to make you love not just Reeves but Superman and even life itself.

Super Bowl LIX is less than a week away, and the big news for the 2025 game is that you can stream it for free. But let’s back up a bit: The NFL’s final game of the season comes together this Sunday, with the NFC champions the Philadelphia Eagles facing AFC champs — and two-time defending Super Bowl winners — the Kansas City Chiefs. If that roster sounds familiar, it’s because it’s a rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl, where the Chiefs edged out the Eagles 38-35. Will the Eagles get their revenge this year, or will the Chiefs go where no NFL team has gone before: an unprecedented three straight Super Bowl wins?
We’ll find out on Sunday, Feb. 9. The kickoff for Super Bowl LIX will be at 6:30PM ET at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA — the eighth time the venue has hosted the big game. The 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show will feature Kendrick Lamar, riding high on the five new Grammys he snagged just last Sunday, as well as SZA. Will Taylor Swift be there to cheer on beau Travis Kelce? The odds are currently yes.
The championship game will be broadcast nationally on Fox this year and will be available on platforms like DirecTV Stream and Fubo. Looking for a free way to tune in? The Super Bowl will also be livestreamed on Tubi — in 4K, no less!
Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the Super Bowl.
When is Super Bowl LIX?
The 2025 Super Bowl will be held on Sunday, Feb. 9.
What time does the Super Bowl start?
Super Bowl LIX kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.
How to watch the Super Bowl live
Super Bowl LIX will air nationally on Fox and stream live on Tubi.
How to stream the Super Bowl for free this year
Tubi will be livestreaming Fox’s coverage of the Super Bowl this year — the first time the free platform has done so. It will also be available in the Fox Sports app on mobile platforms. Beyond that, you can also sign up for free trials of DirecTV Stream, Fubo, YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV, each of which carry Fox in most locations. Two important caveats: Verify that your locality includes a Fox stream by inputting your ZIP code on their respective sites. And if you don’t want to pay, make sure you cancel before the trial subscription ends — they can be as short as three days, so plan ahead.
Tubi will host a free livestream of Fox’s game day coverage of the 2025 Super Bowl. If you don’t have cable and aren’t looking to spend a dime to watch the big game, Tubi is a great free option to tune in. And with its pledge to stream the game in 4K, it could also provide the best video quality of the game — assuming your internet provider has the requisite bandwidth.
For sports fans looking to catch every moment of the game, it should be noted that this will be Tubi’s first big live event — the Fox-owned platform sees most its views from content in its on-demand library.
Beyond the Super Bowl, Tubi has a range of ad-supported on-demand content available totally free. They also have Tubi original programming including last year’s streaming standout: Sidelined: The QB and Me.
The Tubi option above is the easiest go-to starting point for free Super Bowl streaming — but no one knows how the service will hold up under what’s certain to be its most intensive influx of concurrent users. There are plenty of worthwhile backups, each of which offer more comprehensive options for cordcutters beyond the game itself — say, watching SportsCenter on ESPN before or after the game. And most of our picks for best live TV streaming services offer free trials, so you can check them out risk-free. If you time it right, your free trial can include the Super Bowl broadcast, too.
DirecTV Stream is Engadget’s pick for “best cable without a contract.” And while we haven’t yet fully tested the service’s new MySports package yet, we’re highlighting it here for obvious reasons. It gets you access to all the usual football suspects: NFL Network, ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS and, of course, Fox. (Important: Verify your ZIP code before signing up to confirm that the local network affiliates, including Fox, are available in your area.)
Right now, you can try all this out free, and then get your first three months for just $50/month. After that, the cost of this sports streaming package rises to $70/month (still cheaper than its competitors). So if you’re interested in trying out a live TV streaming service for watching football (next season), but aren’t ready to commit or drop a ton of money, DirecTV Stream and its MySports tier is worth checking out.
You’ll also get unlimited Cloud DVR storage included in whatever DirecTV package you choose.
Prior to the debut of the MySports package, we named Fubo TV the best live TV streaming service for sports. It gives you access to ESPN, NFL Network, NBC, Fox, ABC, CBS and 100+ more live channels. (Important: Verify your ZIP code before signing up to confirm that the local network affiliates, including Fox, are available in your area.) At $80/month, the live TV streaming service is definitely a big investment for football fans. But it offers nearly every channel you’ll need to watch the NFL, and still leaves you with major savings compared to a traditional cable package. Fubo subscribers also get unlimited cloud DVR storage. You can try Fubo free right now.
YouTube TV is our top overall choice for best live TV streaming service. Most locales will have Fox to watch the Super Bowl (again, check your ZIP code). YouTube TV offers sports-friendly stats and “fantasy football” views (at least during the regular season). It also offers tight integration with NFL Sunday Ticket. Just note that service requires an additional hefty fee — and is also available as a standalone.
Hulu + Live TV offers a wide array of sports options (including Fox, in most localities, for the Super Bowl). It’s got fewer regional sports networks than some rivals, but this is the only one that bundles in on-demand services Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ as part of the base fee, which is why it’s number three on our list of top overall streaming TV recommendations.
The 2025 Super Bowl will be held at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The venue has been host to seven previous Super Bowl games.
Who is performing in the Super Bowl 59 halftime show?
Kendrick Lamar is headlining Super Bowl LIX, with a guest appearance by SZA.
Who is playing in the Super Bowl 2025?
AFC champions the Kansas City Chiefs will play NFC champs the Philadelphia Eagles.
More ways to watch Super Bowl LIX
Thanks to the wide array of streaming options detailed above, you’ll be able to watch the Super Bowl on nearly any current device with a screen. There are plenty of Super Bowl TV deals ahead of the game if you need to upgrade that aging 40-inch screen with the dead pixels in the corner. Live close to a broadcast tower of a Fox station? Attach a good old-fashioned over-the-air antenna (like the Channel Master linked above), and you can get the game for free.
Have a fast Internet connection but don’t have access to the latest and greatest streaming apps on your TV? For as little as $40 or less, a new Roku or Fire TV device will ensure that you have all of these apps (including Tubi). See our list of best streaming devices for the full range of options — and note that the Fire Stick HD is currently on sale for just $25.
