Devon is still having dark side flirtations, the inquisitors jump Maul, and Sul may be the realest character on this show.Please! Subscribe where we are, especially here on YouTube

The entire crew saw Michael and we definitely are high on nostalgia. From kid MJ to MJ breaking away from his family, Michael is a music heavy biopic that tries to humanize the once larger than life entertainer. Jaafar Jackson channels Michael and gives an amazing performance of older Mike in his first acting role ever. Colman Domingo plays a menacing Joe Jackson and Nia Long as the comforting Catherine, the movie shows MJ wanting to be creatively free and cinematically does so. Please!

Another dual set of banger episodes, as Daki and Devon find themselves on the run from our favorite (maybe not alive) Inquisitor, Marrok.

Do you think Maul did enough to convince Devon to be his new apprentice? Be sure to leave us your answer in the comments!Please! Subscribe where we are, especially here on YouTube

Maul is doing very Sith-like things in episodes 3 and 4 of Maul: Shadow Lord. He's still trying to make an apprentice Devon, while Daki wants to save his padawan. Lawson is kind of a deadbeat dad and his droid Two Boots is a snitch. Vario is the ultimate setup person, as the Pikes don't know he is a literal Trojan horse. Janix gets the unfortunate arrival of the galaxy's “peacekeepers” and all hell is about to break loose.Please! Subscribe where we are, especially here on YouTube

In the best episode of the season as of yet, Daredevil: Born Again is taking the gloves off as Bullseye gets his target practice on and he is relentless!

Vanessa isn't a good listener, Sheila still making faces, BB is getting sloppier, and Matt finally shows up at a church (for info, no recompense). Please!

Maul is back and he's doing what he does best: getting revenge on his enemies. We're on the planet Janix and the criminal underworld is moving heavy work. Maul is moving like a methodical, thoughtful Sith as he tries to draw out his enemies. We also have a Jedi and Padawan that are vagabonds living in squalor, Maul feels he can take advantage of a young mind to further his exploits. This gritty and violent series is more in line with the Clone Wars and it's looking like Maul, a couple of Zabraks, and the remaining Mauldalorians are going to wreak havoc on Janix.Please!

Wonder Man on Disney Plus, a “Marvel Spotlight,” is a character driven show that centers around one struggling actor Simon Williams, and our favorite character actor (the Mandarin himself) Trevor Slattery. Simon has a secret and so does Trevor. They both are vying for roles in the same movies and places in each others hearts. This is a tremendously acted, solidly written show that was seemingly dumped all at once. Is Disney afraid to be different and is this stance hindering the creativity of everything under their umbrella? Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Sir Ben Kingsley have no business playing these characters with this amount of heart and earnest for an MCU tv show, but they do and they deliver. Please!

Would you believe me if I told you there would be a Game of Thrones spinoff that was equal parts comedy, fish out of water, and a lone wolf and cub story combined? Of course you would think I was a liar, but I'm not. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is a surprisingly funny, positive, and non-cynical look into the world that we've grown accustomed to being lewd, lascivious, and full of lies. Ser Duncan the Tall and his bald-headed buddy Egg are essentially trying to find a place in the world and the pilot episode craftily sets expectations for the rest of the season.Please!

Rian Johnson is back on Netflix with Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery and this starts off as a bit of a mystery in comparison to the prior iterations of this franchise. This star-studded cast includes Jeffrey Wright, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Thomas Haden Church, and of course Daniel Craig, to name a few. This mystery centers around a Catholic Church in a small town, where a young, but troubled, upstart priest gets sent there to pay recompense and mature as a man of the cloth. Mystery ensues and our favorite guy Benoit shows up to figure out the killer in this surprisingly introspective whodunnit. Please! Subscribe where we are, especially here on YouTube

In the season one finale, Manousos and Carol do the most expected thing in their first in-person meeting: hate each other. The hive is dong an effective job keeping Carol busy, as they find new ways to propagate the RNA into the remaining 12. Manousos proves to be an agent of chaos, with a purpose and is not understanding why Carol is choosing the girl over the world.

The Hive is trying to butter up Carol with some booty, while Carol is trying to individuate Zosia to the point of having her believe in her own personhood. Meanwhile, Manousos still doesn't want any help, as his trek to meet Carol in person draws closer. This was the penultimate episode of this highly intriguing and entertaining Apple TV+ series. Keeping the end of the episode in mind, who currently has the upper hand: the Hive or Carol?Please! Subscribe where we are, especially here on YouTube

The gap between Carol and Manousos closes in distance, but widens in ideology as these two want the same thing and are going about it in drastically different ways. Carol is starting to feel the effects of prolonged isolation, while Manousos is rejecting the notion that the hive provides and still managing to utilize his time wisely. Please!

What happens in Vegas, well, the hive knows. Carol is reeling after we see what she discovers in cold storage, while Diabaté is living the life he always wanted. The main takeaway from this episode is clearly you get so much more out of life (people, too) when you kind. Carol still is struggling with this, as cynicism and skepticism are melded with the privilege she once had. Manousos down in Paraguay gets Carol's message and finally gets activated.Please!

The Netflix franchise that has been successful beyond shareholders wildest dreams is back in its finale season. Of course, they can't drop this all at once, so we get four episodes, aka, chapter one.

My question to you is who is currently on deathwatch after watching the first of the last of Stranger Things?Please! Subscribe where we are, especially here on YouTube

Episode four of the outstanding Pluribus on Apple TV+ has Carol play detective and part time experimenter, as she tries to seek the truth of what's happening with the hive.

Pluribus on Apple TV+ is a show that quickly devolves into chaos, as the world violently falls into what can be only described as a utopia. Our main character Carol is going through it, as she tries to wrap her mind around the events that are happening. The twist of this pseudo post-apocalypse is one that should be seen and not told, so if you haven't watch this yet, it's definitely worth the price of admission. Please!

Predator: Badlands is the current entry into the firmly cemented Weyland-Yutaniverse and we get a coming of age story about how proving yourself to parental figures isn't just a problem for humans.

As season 2 of Peacemaker on hbo max comes to a cliffhanger of a conclusion, we're left to ask but one main question: does it live up to the hype?

One Battle After Another is a movie that packs so much stuff in it, that you would think it would be doing way too much. However, this movie balances nearly every current issue we are dealing with in America in this fictional masterpiece.

Him (2025) dropped and we discuss what we liked, disliked, and were totally confused by when it come to this MonkeyPaw Production joint.
