Agatha All Along
Agatha All Along released its first 2 episodes at once this week. The first people to review it sang its praises, save for a few butthurt internet fanboys who can’t stand the sight of women on their TV screens. I for one am very skeptical about the series if for no other reason then they are adapting The Witches Road which is a very prominent WANDA storyline. And as she is my favorite character, and has yet to have her own solo movie, it very much feels like a slap in the face to take one of her biggest comic book moments and give it to someone else. That said, the promise of a future Scarlet Witch project hangs in the air so I am excited to see how Agatha can help us get there.

Villainess Review: Dee Baxter (The Wayans Bros.)
Who remembers The WB? The original WB Network? Hard to believe that it's been almost 30 years since that network launched, and would go on to become this big thing--keeping up with what was now the Big Four networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox). The whole thing started in early 1995, and it ended up leading to the launch of Kids' WB that fall (that's another story). The network had their trademark shows, and among their earliest hits was The Wayans Bros., the memorable sitcom that officially put Shawn and Marlon Wayans on the spotlight.

The Acolyte
So far I think everyone that was shitting on this show is insane, or stupid, or both. The Acolyte is a well written show that seems to explore parts of the Star Wars universe that are underutilized. We are getting to see and talk about what the flaws in the Jedi order are. We are getting to see how revenge and trauma don’t always have to lead to the Dark side. Also how it isn’t always about Dark vs Light. I think this show is adding a lot more substance and nuance to the Star Wars canon then it had before.

The Acolyte
We are diving into The Acolyte. I really enjoyed the first episode, against the internet’s wishes. But really there were no glaring flaws in the writing. Granted that could always change, shows fall off as seasons continue all the time. Though I will say that is a lot less frequent when it comes to streaming because the seasons are shorter and therefore tend to be fully planned before shooting even starts. That’s not to say that every streaming show is a goldmine of perfect writing, but it really does minimize the plot and character mistakes that network shows tend to make because they last far longer than they should. So here we go with The Acolyte episode 2.

Khalbali Records Review: Rap, Drama, and Music Industry Rivalries at Their Best
After a long time, I saw a series that is related to music, you must have seen many songs in films or series but you will rarely find content related to songs or showing the internal dramatics of the same industry, so the name of the series is Khalbali Records which you can watch on JioCinema Premium and it is not just based musically but also on the rap battle going on in the market these days or maybe this is the first series made on rap music.

Challengers
Well I have been slacking on my movies so I am just now getting to Challengers. I love Zendaya with my whole heart so I really can’t wait to see her front and center. In press for this movie Zendaya says that you really have to watch the movie 3 times and focus on a different character each time, I’m not sure if we are actually going to do that but I will make sure that each character gets their due. So here we go with Challengers.

The Beekeeper
Today we watched The Beekeeper and honestly when I first saw the trailer for this movie I knew it was going to be just another stupid action movie. But we had to go for it anyway. Jason Statham is the action movie front man. Now we know that action is not normally my genre, I find the films to be very shallow with no real plot. And there have been only 2 films that combated that idea. The Beekeeper is not one of them. That said, as the bar is so low for action movies, did this movie at least deliver a good time? Well, let's get into it.
