Canceled Too Soon
There are about 1000 TV shows that were canceled too soon, but this doesn’t just apply to shows that were only aired for a single season.

Support the WGA
As the WGA strike continues it seems that by the end of this month that SAG will be joining them as they almost unanimously voted to join the strike. The DGA is also currently voting as to whether or not they will be joining the strike, either way Hollywood is being effectively shut down with or without them. Marvel has recently announced new general release dates for several projects due to lots of productions being put on hold in light of the strike.

The Lantern Corps
Another project that James Gunn has announced is Lanterns, with the ambiguity of the title we can hope that this project will include all of the Lantern Corps colors. Now should that be the case it means that we will be pulling from the Brightest Day, Darkest Night series. That would allow for the background and full introduction of each faction of the Lantern Corps. I will simply provide a brief synopsis.

The other day I was watching the latest season of Tim Robinson’s absurdist sketch comedy series, I Think You Should Leave, and throughout my watch of this collection of absurdist humor, I noticed that there was some depth to these sketches that I haven’t realized before. While this depth could be a complete overthought, I believe that there is enough evidence to prove it. So lets explore the various layers of I Think You Should Leave and examine why it is deeper than you think.
