Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu
When The Mandalorian premiered, it quietly rewrote the rules of modern Star Wars. Stripped-down storytelling, cinematic pacing, and a lone gunslinger wandering the galaxy brought the franchise back to its mythic roots. Then came Grogu—small, mysterious, and instantly iconic—turning a space western into a cultural phenomenon. Now, Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu is poised to take that bond from the comfort of streaming into the spectacle of theaters, marking a pivotal moment for the franchise and its fans.

Does Strange Things Have A Horcrux Problem?
Like many, I’ve been watching the final season of Stranger Things, avidly keeping up with the gang of tweens-turned-teenage nerds ever since they discovered the mysterious Eleven in the woods. But, unlike the previous four 80s pining seasons where a “big-bad” has appeared, threatening the cast and their Americana dull hometown of Hawkins, whether it’s the Demogorgon, the Mind Flayer, or the Russians, season 5 is unique not only in bringing back a previous antagonist from season 4, Vecna, but also heavily retconning the series to make it appear as though they have always been the series antagonist from the start.

Bugonia
I’d skipped Kinds of Kindness, the middle entry of three consecutive collaborations between Emma Stone and Lorgos Lanthimos; some issues with their Poor Things adaptation soured me on watching. But Bugonia drew me back; it’s a deliberately odd drama with sci-fi trappings and some pretentions; the film hinges on the idea that aliens might already be here on earth, or so some zoned-out conspiracy theorists imagine. They kidnap a CEO who they believe actually comes from the planet Andromeda and hope to unmask her an an extra-terrestrial, but things take an unexpected twist…
