What the Hell Is Going on With Amazon’s Twitter Account?

Union organizers hold signs reading "Amazon has no excuse" during a rally

It it makes sense that Amazon would be scared. What doesn't make sense how they think peddling snark is helping them in any way.

The Falcon and the Winter Solider Takes Bold Strokes in Discussion of Race in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Don Cheadle and Anthony Mackie in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021)

WandaVision delved deep into the psyche of Wanda Maximoff and The Falcon and the Winter Solider is examining the racial realities of Sam Wilson and the PTSD of Bucky Barnes. Both are still being developed, but the second episode has leaned very heavily on that first theme.

Review: The Genre Mash of Godzilla vs. Kong Finally Delivers on the American Godzilla Franchise

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

If you are familiar with me at all, you know that I love Godzilla and King Kong, so this film has been on my list for a long time. The last two installments of the American Godzilla franchise have been disappointing, but I was hoping that finally, with Godzilla vs. Kong, I would get what I wanted. And I did, but only because it is more a King Kong movie than a Godzilla/Kong movie.
