Back in Action
In recent years we have seen lots of actresses come back to acting after long hiatus’. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lindsay Lohan and now Cameron Diaz. Formerly known for romantic comedies and for being one of the members of the newer Charlie’s Angels, Cameron Diaz has been out of the spotlight for about a decade. So it is fitting that her return to the screen is in a Netflix film titled Back in Action. Now Cameron Diaz was never known for being an exceptionally good actress and her films were never exactly award winning, so I am not expecting much from her newest endeavor. That said, I love it when actresses choose their projects based on having fun.

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.
