TV, Abbott Elementary, BDSM/kink, Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War, border patrol, Chevron, oil spill, things we saw today By Alyssa Shotwell on Mon,6:21 After a 5 month break, Abbott Elementary is back on ABC, and the trailer for the second season just dropped, giving us a sneak peek at the upcoming chaos. TV, Cassian Andor, Diego Luna, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Star Wars (franchise), Star Wars: Andor By Alyssa Shotwell on Mon,6:15 In addition to Luna (co-producing and) returning to play Cassian, Genevieve O'Reilly is returning as Mon Mothma, and Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera. TV, casting, diversity, J.R.R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings, the lord of the rings: the rings of power By Madeline Carpou on Mon,5:57 As usual, people are weird about race. And as usual, people misinterpret the source material for their own political purposes. Let's get into it. News, Conspiracy Theories, donald trump, golf By Vivian Kane on Mon,5:38 Resistance Twitter has been going all in trying to come up with a satisfying explanation for a pair of golf shoes. Movies, Alan Tudyk, animated musical, Ariana DeBose, D23 Expo, latinx representation, Wish (film) By Alyssa Shotwell on Mon,5:14 Disney announced an all-new animated, musical film inspired by the north star, 'Wish.' Here's what we know! TV, Benedict Wong, Marvel Entertainment, Wong By Julia Glassman on Mon,4:51 Wong is one of the best characters in the MCU. Why? Because he's outrageous and amazing, and recent events have made this even more clear. We're here for it. Movies, Steven Spielberg By Rachel Leishman on Mon,4:42 I cannot wait for The Fabelmans because if a trailer about the life of Spielberg can make me cry like this and remember why I love going to the movies, then I am in for quite a ride. Movies, Halle Bailey, The Little Mermaid By Princess Weekes on Mon,4:28 We have Daveed Diggs as Sebastian, Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, Javier Bardem as Triton, and Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric. It is one of the oddest collections of casting choices. Why make Ariel Black if you make her father a white Spaniard? We still have precisely zero Black princes in Disney, and Melissa McCarthy is a brilliant actress, but I can't for the life of me see what this role offers her. TV, Daemon Targaryen, House of the Dragon, Matt Smith By Rachel Leishman on Mon,3:41 God do I love the mess that is Daemon Targaryen.

Movies, comic books, DC Comics, Don't Worry Darling, reading, Vertigo Comics By D.R. Medlen on Mon,2:14 Many people are comparing the trailers to a more horrific take on The Stepford Wives. There are parallels with the film where men turned their wives into mindless robots. But the vibes of Darling better match with lesser known comic book series called Hex Wives. Books, British Empire, colonialism, history, Ireland, Kenya, Northern Ireland, Queen Elizabeth II, The Caribbean By Alyssa Shotwell on Mon,2:06 From the start and close of her tenure as head of state, Elizabeth II chose to continue the legacy of empire until the very end.

Big on the Internet, TV, Fire & Blood, Game of Thrones, George R.R. Martin, House of the Dragon By Princess Weekes on Mon,1:05 'House of the Dragon' turned the subtext between Prince Daemon and Princess Rhaenyra into text, much to the calamity in universe and off-line. But does that add up with the way Targaryens view incest? TV, dragons, engineering, Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon By Julia Glassman on Mon,12:41 Dr. Guy Gratton has put in the hours and figured out how dragons can fly in the world of 'Game of Thrones.' Gaming, Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, video games By Madeline Carpou on Mon,12:28 Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will have no shortage of things to do, but what if we want to do nothing at all? Movies, Brie Larson, Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers By Rachel Leishman on Mon,12:10 And I hope that Brie Larson knows that there are a lot of us who do want to see her Carol Danvers more and more. We love her. High, further, faster, baby.
