The Hype vs. Reality of Suicide Squad Isekai
I was beyond hyped when I first saw the trailer for Suicide Squad Isekai. I had just gotten into the Isekai genre and had binged through so many, so not only was this anime in a genre I loved but it was also the Suicide Squad! If you have read my blog “I worked in a comic book shop for a week” You would know that I grew up in a family of geeks. I loved the suicide squad before they became popular in their movies. I love both of the suicide squad movies, by the way. What could go wrong with this anime? I was counting down the days until it was released and watched the first few episodes as soon as they dropped. Did it live up to the hype? Let’s talk about it.

Wild Robot
There is something special about the sentient robot genre, and it's very specific. Those that grew up watching Iron Giant grew up to make Wall-E. The kids that grew up watching Wall-E went on to make Big Hero 6. And the kids that grew up on Big Hero 6 made Wild Robot. We are averaging a heartbreaking robot story about every decade. And Wild Robot fits right into this beautiful and gut wrenching genre.

Bad Monkey Season 2 Now Has A Big Vince Vaughn Story Problem. AI-Generated.
Now that season one of Bad Monkey is ended, Rosa's last appearance in the first season of Apple TV+'s dark comedy raises a problem for a possible second season. Since Natalie Martinez was essentially the only character in Bad Monkey season 1 that supported Vince Vaughn's Andrew Yancy throughout the narrative, her role was crucial. Unfortunately, if Bad Monkey gets picked up for a second run of episodes, the conclusion of season 1 poses a challenging barrier to her eventual return.

The Demon Detective: Akuma-Kun
I was randomly scrolling through Netflix as one does, I came across an interesting-looking anime. The art drew me in, It was soft and bubbly, yet this was a horror anime. I thought it was only 12 episodes so I would give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised.

How Podcast Discoverability Can Be Improved
"There's nothing on TV," is a common refrain despite our 400-channel universe. Of course, on TV we are subject to "bundles" which force us to consider channels on topics we have no interest in.

Harold & The Purple Crayon. AI-Generated.
In Harold and the Purple Crayon, the well-known fictional figure makes his way to the real world in search of his "Old Man" and learns the reason behind his creation. Crockett Johnson's 1955 picture book of the same name is given a new spin in the 2024 film, which first describes how the well-known young kid in a onesie grew up in his fantasy world. Harold (Zachary Levi) and his pals Moose (Lil Rel Howery) and Porcupine (Tanya Reynolds) embarked on an adventure to the real world to find out what had happened to the narrator of his universe, whom he had nicknamed his Old Man, after he appeared to have disappeared.

Agatha All Along Web Series Review
Look, it is like this I just saw a new Agatha All Along of Marvel or say Marvel television. Actually, it came a month ago but it has ended now, so let's talk about it a bit.

Unfrosted
At first glance Unfrosted seems like a cry for help from comedians that are so far past their prime they are just trying to stay relevant. After actually watching the film all the way through I can say with confidence that first impressions are strong and you should go with your gut. I had thought we all decided a while ago to stop putting Amy Schumer in movies, tv shows, on stage or anything else but here we are. Hugh Grant might be the only highlight of the film. I feel like this could have been an entertaining short film but a whole movie was a little overkill.

Harold and the Purple Crayon
Perhaps one of the biggest film flops of the year, Harold and the Purple Crayon takes a beloved children’s story and turns into a desperate attempt at making Zachary Levi likable. Like the film, the attempt failed spectacularly.

Revenge of the Baskerville Bloodhound Chapter 86 Release Date, Release Time, Where To Read and Spoilers
The soft time is now over and the real action is about to begin. Revenge of the Baskerville Bloodhound chapter 85 was another good chapter, and the ending was so intense. After finishing the volunteer work, all the academy students returned to the academy. And Vikir's preparation was all done, so from now on the series will go on fire.
