Severance Season 2 Review
Severance was unlike anything else on television when it debuted in 2022. It was a series that, from its painstaking production design to its mystery box plot, felt very much of its time in its examination of labor and workplace suffering, but it also had the feel of a delectable throwback because of its mid-century modern appearance and the timeless nature of its main idea.

Flight Risk Ending Explained
Mel Gibson's 2025 thriller Flight Risk ends with a significant plot surprise and a memorable character death. Gibson is back to helm his first motion picture since Hacksaw Ridge, which won an Oscar in 2013. With a 22% Rotten Tomatoes rating, Flight Risk isn't likely to win any Oscars, but it does have a number of twists and turns that make for some exciting scenes. In addition to four-time Emmy nominee Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) and That '70s Show alumnus Topher Grace, the cast of Flight Risk is remarkable and includes two-time Oscar contender Mark Wahlberg and his half-shaved head.

Back In Action: Matt & Emily’s CIA Jobs Explained

Emily and Matt were attempting to conceal their past as spies from their kids, Alice (played by McKenna Roberts) and Leo (played by Ryan Jackson), at the beginning of Cameron Diaz's return film. However, by the end of Back in Action, their kids had not only learned about their CIA work but had also become actively involved in their espionage efforts and had met several of the Back in Action cast members.

The camaraderie of hyper-capitalism vs anti-capitalism in Squid Season 2
Many people have been anxiously awaiting the second season of Squid Game, the most-watched show on Netflix. To win prizes in the first season, players had to compete in several lethal kid-friendly games. The upcoming season, which is also expected to break yet another Netflix record, delves deeper into the limitations and economic background of the surrealistic games. Green light, red light. When the song starts, move forward; when it ends, freeze. It's a fairly easy game. Or is it that moving after the music has stopped carries a death sentence? It was clear from the first season that Squid Game allegorizes the horrors of capitalism through kid-friendly games. Three years later, the second season of arguably the most significant television program of our time advances its adamantly anti-capitalist theme. It accomplishes this by exposing the illusion of "choice" in a system threatening to starve the great majority. In this article, I dive deeper into the dystopian nuances of capitalism and the illusion of choice that stir up scenarios very similar to reality.

Silo Timeline Explained
Although a lot of the plot of Apple TV+'s Silo has been kept a secret, the second season provides enough hints for viewers to put together a calendar of significant occasions. Seasons 1 and 2 of Silo, which are primarily based on Hugh Howey's first Silo novel, Wool, purposefully don't give away too much about the outside world and what happened to it before people were compelled to live inside the central silos. By delving into the past of another nearby silo and introducing a few new people, Season 2 expands on the overall lore.

A Shockingly Relevant Film From 1957. Top Story - January 2025.
My husband and I have a subscription to the Criterion Channel streaming service. Every month Criterion will organize its films into themed compilations. Some are pretentious sounding like ‘Cinema Verité’ others are kind of silly like ‘The Mustache Club.’ But they often help us decide what to watch. The theme that caught our eye this month was ‘Cast Against Type: Heroes as Villains.’ I love it when an actor shows off their range.
