The Apprentice
I've watched the movie Donald Trump wouldn't care if I watched or not. As I am what he would label as "lib'ral," he'd never care about my opinion. However, I've watched the movie he wouldn't want his fan base to watch and for that reason he, the self-proclaimed defender of free speech, issued a cease-and-desist order against the movie producers and distributors and did everything possible in his power to make sure it was not released in the United States. His lawyers even wrote in the C&D letter that showing it now would constitute election interference.

'Agatha All Along': Teen's Identity Revealed? Everything You Need To Know About Wiccan!
WARNING! SPOILERS for Agatha All Along 1x05, 'Darkest Hour/'Wake Thy Power'. In a mid-series twist, one of Agatha All Along's biggest mysteries appears to have been solved. Despite some early attempts to convince viewers that the mysterious Teen could be Agatha Harkness's son, Nicholas Scratch, the character's use of familiar blue magic, as well as the appearance of his new headpiece, very similar in design to the one worn by the Scarlet Witch, both strongly point to the equally widespread theory that Teen is Wanda Maximoff's son, Billy, who comic fans will know is destined to become the Superhero known as Wiccan.

Agatha All Along
Agatha All Along has been getting better and better with every episode. Last week we got some great emotional moments from all of our witches and a vulnerable moment between Teen and Agatha. Even more than that we got gay confirmation from Agatha and Rio! The effects team and the cinematographer continue to produce absolutely incredible visuals. Agatha is the MCU’s lowest budget show and yet it is the most stunning to watch. Between the top tier visuals, the incredible storytelling and the unbelievable chemistry between the cast, Agatha is so far, the best thing that the MCU has ever produced.
