Coming 2 America Premise Raises Some Questions

Coming 2 America trailer still.

They obviously put a lot of money into this film, so I am hoping that it will be funny. That's what we need in 2021.

Let’s Celebrate the Anti-Claus

WHITBY, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 07: Participants walk through the streets during the annual Whitby Krampus parade on December 07, 2019 in Whitby, England. The Krampus is a horned, anthropomorphic figure from Austro-Bavarian Alpine folklore who during the Christmas season punished children who had misbehaved. The event held in Whitby helps to raise money for the Whitby Wildlife Sanctuary charity. (Photo by Ian Forsyth/Getty Images)

From Krampus to Belsnickel, let's dig even deeper into the folklore about versions of Santa that aren't so nice.

The Men in Moriarty the Patriot Are Gorgeous and Shippable Do Not Send Help I Will Manage

Moriarty and Sherlock meet for the first time in "Moriarty the Patriot"

I deduce that there are a lot of attractively shippable men in this series. This will require further investigation.

Ma Rainey’s Blues Legacy Still Has Not Been Fully Tapped Into and That’s a Shame

Viola Davis as ma rainey

New Netflix film Ma Rainey's Black Bottom carries the name of one of the foundational singers in American music: Gertrude "Ma" Rainey. Dubbed the Mother of Blues, the Georgia-born artist was one of the first African-American professional blues singers and recording artists. After watching the film, I wanted to know more about the singer, so I turned to Angela Davis's Blues Legacies and Black Feminism to explore what drove the woman Viola Davis brought to life on the screen.

My heart absolutely melted when Din called him Grogu because the reaction to hearing his name was so pure. Grogu’s ears perked up, he smiled, and he made an adorable noise of affirmation.

My eyes pretty much glaze over every time those men from the Magisterium have a scene on His Dark Materials, but I guess it’s finally time to listen to what they’ve been saying.
