Irish Wish
The comeback of Lindsay Lohan was a hot internet topic on the internet for a while. She came out with a Christmas movie last year and then she was in another Netflix project that was released earlier this year, Irish Wish. As with many child stars spending so long in the spotlight led to a decline of mental health and she was really struggling for a while. Well as someone who thrived on Lindsay Lohan movies when I was younger I was someone who was super excited to see her be healthy and happy again. So I was excited to finally sit down and watch Irish Wish.

My Review of "Inside Out 2"
Inside Out 2 is a sequel that I didn't really think was necessary. Seeing as Pixar has a patchy track record with their sequels I was really hesitant to watch this one. I was kind of right in my apprehension. That's not to say that it's a horrible movie. This movie is quite serviceable but ultimately quite forgettable.

Did Deadpool & Wolverine break the MCU?
The immense success of Deadpool & Wolverine feels like a pivotal moment for the MCU, especially following some less well-received releases. While the post-Endgame dip may have been overstated, it's clear that success brings heightened expectations. What’s concerning with Deadpool & Wolverine, however, is that it introduces a new type of pressure that could potentially harm the MCU. The issue of spoilers is central to this.
