Severance Season 2 Review
Severance was unlike anything else on television when it debuted in 2022. It was a series that, from its painstaking production design to its mystery box plot, felt very much of its time in its examination of labor and workplace suffering, but it also had the feel of a delectable throwback because of its mid-century modern appearance and the timeless nature of its main idea.

What If...? Season 3
The first few episodes of What If…? Season 3 were absolutely better than the entirety of the first two seasons. We at the very least were able to focus on different characters which is literally the point of the show. We needed some fresh ideas and if nothing else we got that this season. All that said, I need us to have more episodes a season. This is exactly the kind of show that is designed to have 18+ episodes a season, only 8 episodes for something like this is straight up lazy, especially from somewhere like Disney who has more than enough money to produce more episodes.

Flight Risk Ending Explained
Mel Gibson's 2025 thriller Flight Risk ends with a significant plot surprise and a memorable character death. Gibson is back to helm his first motion picture since Hacksaw Ridge, which won an Oscar in 2013. With a 22% Rotten Tomatoes rating, Flight Risk isn't likely to win any Oscars, but it does have a number of twists and turns that make for some exciting scenes. In addition to four-time Emmy nominee Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) and That '70s Show alumnus Topher Grace, the cast of Flight Risk is remarkable and includes two-time Oscar contender Mark Wahlberg and his half-shaved head.

Villainess Review: Morgan le Fay (Jughead's Time Police)
I've written about a number of villainesses on Vocal, usually from TV, film, or some true crime stories. For this story, it's a first--delving from the world of comic books. In this case, it's from Archie Comics. Why? It's simple. Riverdale will kick off its seventh and final season. I beamed when I learned about this show seven years ago. I've been an Archie Comics fan for 30 years, and when I learned about a show centered on the Archie characters, I was in! These were not the characters I grew up reading, but I was all in because of that!

Reviewing the Conclusion of the Red Death Arc
So here it is. We have arrived at what seems like the conclusion of the amazing Red Death arc that started with the ninth and final season premiere, where the villainous speedster briefly appeared in the final moments of that episode. After another mysterious appearance in the second episode, the third episode ends with Red Death being revealed as an evil doppelganger of Ryan Wilder, aka Batwoman, a fact that was actually revealed months before the final season began. The previous episode saw Evil Ryan attempt to manipulate Iris into going with her into her Earth, after claiming that her version of The Flash destroyed her world and attempted to stop her from saving it.

Red Death Review: "The Mask of the Red Death" (Part 1)
At long last, we are at the most vital part of The Flash's Red Death saga after weeks of anticipation, excitement, and impatience. OK, all three of those words describe me. Even so, this angle has been quite intriguing and epic, and it reached new levels in Week 3, which ended with the Red Death unveiled and unmasked as Ryan Wilder--well, her alternate doppelganger. As I've been doing ever since the show's ninth and final season began, I've spent the last week eagerly awaiting the latest chapter, and lo and behold, here it is.

Red Death Review: "Rogues of War"
The moment I've waited patiently for has arrived. Well, actually, it's the first of a three-pronged moment, but even so, every epic event has a beginning. So when we last left this saga, Red Death was fully released, and in this episode, we know what the planned result of the thefts is: a plan to build a cosmic treadmill. Based on Barry's description alone, it's an unstable object, but if placed in the wrong hands--for example, a deranged and maniacal supervillainess who just happens to be a speedster--it could completely wreck the space-time continuum.

Red Death Review: "Hear No Evil"
Entering today, the big high I received from the previous week's final season opener of The Flash had slowed down a bit. Then the 8PM hour drew close, and it all came back again. In case you (somehow) missed it, Barry Allen will have one final Big Bad to deal with: Red Death. In the comics, Red Death is an evil version of Batman, but in the Arrowverse, the Red Death who will plague The Flash is actually an evil version of Batwoman, and will be played by Javicia Leslie.

A Look at Javicia Leslie's Villainous Return to the Arrowverse
Despite the fact that my immense ignorance of everything involving superhero comics came out while watching the final moments of The Flash, I'm still elated over this development. The Flash began its ninth and final season on February 9, 2023 with "Wednesday Ever After," the first of the final 13 episodes. The episode saw Barry and Iris in a time loop, with the former dealing with the episode's central baddie, Captain Boomerang, who was played by Richard Harmon of Continuum fame. Though everything ended well for Team Flash, we were treated to a final scene that saw Captain Boomerang calling out whoever he was working for in an abandoned warehouse.

Jacob's Apartment
The artwork in Jacob's Apartment (2022), the Gen Z graphic novel by Joshua Kemble is spare, stark; functionary. It complements the story of Jacob who, seemingly, has never known many happy days.
