'Totally Spies!' - The Superior 'Charlie's Angels'
Charlie's Angels (2019) is a reboot of the movie Charlie's Angels (2000) which is a reboot of the TV show Charlie's Angels (1976). But does anyone even care about this property? I feel like the only reason people saw the first movie was because it had stars that were big at the time. But like, Kristen Stewart hasn't really done anything in a while, I didn't see the new Aladdin so I don't know who Naomi Scott is and I haven't seen nothing so I don't know who Ella Balinska is. I guess Elizabeth Banks is in this and seems to be playing Charlie kind of, because Hollywood is doing this thing where they just recast franchises with women when the boys are done playing with them. Even properties that are led by women can still recast male characters with women sometimes. Why not just create new franchises and properties led by women? Anyone? No? But even with Elizabeth Banks, I don't know if anyone cares about this franchise. I think the reason the original movie works, apart from the great cast, is that it's campy, it's fun and over the top, and doesn't take itself too seriously. Look, I haven't seen the new one yet but from the trailers it looks like another bland blockbuster. So what do I suggest as a solution to this? Easy, we reboot another property from the same era, that is essentially the same premise but could actually benefit from the live action treatment: Totally Spies!

5 Fantasy Book Series to Read Before Their Upcoming TV Adaptations
Game of Thrones is the perfect example of an epic fantasy saga that started life as a bestselling novel series before being adapted into a television series. The fact that the HBO medieval drama went on to become the most watched and awarded television show of all time is arguably why a slew of fantasy book-to-TV adaptations are coming our way, including The Witcher, Shadow and Bone, and His Dark Materials.

4 Questions We Need Answered in 'Stranger Things' Season 4. Top Story - October 2019.
The third season of Stranger Things was one wild ride and probably the craziest adventure the series has taken audiences on so far. One would think it would be hard to top Demogorgons and giant monsters from another dimension. But the Netflix series outdid itself with a compelling narrative involving the Mind Flayers' unique return and a fun, 80s inspired Russian secret lab conspiracy beneath StarCourt Mall. Yup, the latest season was pretty crazy in how it unveiled many things about the Stranger Things Universe, notably that Russia knows about the Upside Down and have discovered many gateways into it. This leads to so much speculation on where the next season will take subscribers.

'Survivor: Island of the Idols' Episode 6
Wow! What an amazing episode of Survivor tonight! First off, good move getting Tom out. It was the right call, anyway, then the game gets hectic. It's usually after the first vote or the first vote, here it is. Now, Noura wants to blindside Jack & Jamal, using Dean & Karishma. Of course, Dean sees her as crazy and tells Jamal, who confirms her insanity. So now Dean knows there's a crack in the tribe and the game is going to be turned on its head. Meanwhile at Vokai, it's four to four, though Elaine is the only one who thinks it'll go to rocks. The other three original Lairo though, they are more than willing to flip; Aaron even spoke with Jason about taking out Elaine, which Jason is all for, wanting Vokai to have their numbers, even after Dan dressed him with his buff. At the reward challenge, Elaine had to sit out first off, so she was sent to the Island of the Idols. Secondly, it was a quick race, carrying one member on a crate of bags, then moving bags off, then the member on the crate uses the remaining bags to shoot targets. Aaron won for Vokai in a quick and simple win, winning them chickens.

'American Gods' | TV Show Review
Most TV shows I watch they are normally adaptations of books that I've read and enjoyed. 100 percent of the time, this is what inspires me to watch the countless TV shows and movie adaptations of Neil Gaiman's books. As an avid reader and lover of Gaiman's books, I'll always get very excited when it is announced another of his books is being adapted—which is what just happened, when American Gods was announced for Amazon Prime subscribers.
