We’ve seen a few movie-watching subscriptions come and go. MoviePass was one of the first but has struggled throughout its life. Shortly thereafter, AMC came to the plate with its Stubs A-List service that runs around $20 per month for three movies a week. Now Regal just took Stubs A-List up a notch with its Regal Unlimited service, which was rumored to come into fruition last month. Starting at $18 per month, with Regal Unlimited you can watch “as many movies as you want, as many times as you want, whenever you want, wherever you want.”

In this guide, I’ll dive into the ways that Alexa routines can be triggered and how I am using them.
