5 seconds- that’s all it takes for Happy Death Day 2U to let the audience know it’s going to be a very different type of sequel. Whereas the first film begins with the Universal Pictures logo repeating itself over and over again, this one features the same logo splitting into three separate logos, clue-ing us in that
The Doom Patrol may be one of DC’s lesser-known superhero teams, but they shine whenever they get the spotlight. They made their live-action debut in Titans last year in one of the season’s best episodes. Now they have their own show and it is exactly what it is supposed to be: weird, fun, emotional, and downright crazy.
A nuclear family sits unemotional in their living room glowing in the light of a TV screen. The Velvet Buzzsaw herself, Rene Russo’s Rhodora Haze, walks in seconds later with a distinct sense of skepticism in her eye.

Before we dive into the season premiere for Discovery I’d like to make a confession. As a teenager, I was a hardcore Star Trek nerd. I even was in a Star Trek club at school where we would convene in the one classroom with a VHS player and TV set up and watch one of
Oh Gotham, where to even start with you? Genuine question here, as this show is so batshit crazy that it’s hard not to just sound like I’m writing a James Joyce stream of consciousness fanfiction about Batman villains. For examples of how crazy this show is you can go back and read my previous two
Barry Allen is the fastest man alive, or so he keeps telling us every week. Personally, I think that The Flash is maybe the CW’s most inconsistent show, mostly because they have a formula and they stick to it. There’s a mystery villain with a secret identity, there’s a new character who joins the team
The beginning of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, brings hope and promise but ultimately falls flat in some places but makes up for it through the fighting sequences.
