The Marvels Review
The Marvels is finally out. This is something that I have been waiting for a while now as the release date was delayed. There is always hate on the internet but I am very happy to say that haters on the internet are very very wrong. This movie was fun and sweet and the most like phase 1 & 2.

The Boys Season 4
We know that Gen V is going to flow right into season 4 of The Boys, which is theoretically going to flow right into the second season of Gen V. Now that really just means that there is a single timeline that both of these shows are operating on. It doesn’t necessarily mean that one is required viewing for the other. So what exactly can we expect the crossover to be like? I am going to go ahead and make some predictions for season 4 of The Boys, and the second season of Gen V and what one might need to know before season 4 of The Boys releases.

Gen V
Alright folks we have reached the end of the first season of Gen V. We know that this finale will lead pretty much right into the next season of The Boys that is prepped for a 2024 release. When we left off last episode there were a few vials of this supe killing virus left and it is now in the hands of a politician, so that’s gonna end well. These kids also all know what’s been going on and dean Sheddy is dead. Oh right, and also Polarity is in the hospital for an unknown reason. So there is kind of a lot to wrap up in this last episode and set up if there is to be a second season. So here we go with the Gen V season finale.

The Nuance of Numbers
On the internet we hear “movies aren’t as good now”, “well when movies were good” and “back when”, now these thoughts are all blatantly untrue because brilliant movies exist everywhere, people are just lazy and won't watch anything not handed directly to them. Often the general public blames writers for the lack of originality in Hollywood. The amount of sequels, remakes and reboots are often cited as to why writers don’t deserve to be paid properly. Especially in the year of the longest and biggest strike in entertainment industry history. What most people don’t realize is that all of those unoriginal movies that you hate are commissioned by studios, and are fulfilled simply by writers trying to feed themselves. You see studios see a movie that was successful, like Ghostbusters and they immediately think audiences want more Ghostbusters instead of seeing that audiences want more friend group comedies. They see no nuance in the numbers.

Best Christmas Movies
We have officially covered all of the main streaming services. Listing off the best Christmas movies to watch on each one. Unfortunately those lists did not come anywhere close to all of the Christmas movies. It didn’t even come close to containing half the best Christmas movies. No that can only be done through owning DVDs or of course taking a trip to the high seas. Most of these were procured through money but several were given to me by my husband and his internet skills. So here is the list of best Christmas movies to uh…find and watch this holiday season.

Amazon Prime
Last but not least we are looking to Amazon Prime for some more Christmas movies to watch. We are taking our Christmas research streaming service, by streaming service in an attempt to give you guys the best Christmas movies to watch this holiday season. All streaming services have their own supply of both classic and original Christmas movies. Amazon Prime has a lot of cartoon Christmas specials that just can’t be missed.

Once Upon A Time
Once Upon a Time was a show that I picked up when it was in its second or third season. I remember thinking that the fairytale angle was brilliant and they could make it so much darker than the Disneyfied versions of these stories. It has been about a decade since the last time that I’ve seen this show but I know that it got weird towards the end. So this is on the list of shows that started good but went off the rails and we are going to analyze it just the same to figure out where the breaking point was. So here we go with the first season of Once Upon A Time.

Solid First Seasons
So occasionally we’ve talked about shows that just started off so strong and up a muddled mess. Unfortunately this is an all too common phenomenon, particularly in network shows. It boils down to studios wanting more money so they keep their successful shows on long enough to ruin them. So we are going to go through some of the shows that had incredible, groundbreaking first seasons. Perhaps they even had a good first few seasons, but eventually they ended up incomplete and messy.

Winter Musicals
As the wintery cold sets in we are not just watching Christmas movies but we are also watching some winter time musicals. We should know that I am a theatre kid in my heart so we can’t get through the holiday season without me watching some of my favorite musicals. Now as I was trying to explain to my husband earlier each genre of music has seasons. My summer musicals would be like South Pacific, or Shrek. Whereas Fall would be Les Mis and Sweeney Todd. Each musical score has a lot of feelings attached to it and the musicals on this list have sweet, cozy, wintery vibes attached to them which makes them perfect for the end of the year. So now that we have established feelings and vibes, let's go through some of the best musicals for winter.

Netflix Christmas Movies
We are celebrating Christmastime and thus we are taking inventory of all the Christmas movies available on various streaming services. We are now onto examining Netflix’s Christmas offerings. Netflix actually has a decent range, from sweet, well-crafted, artistic Christmas movies, to those fun rom com like Christmas movies. Both are really awesome and very important so let's get into the list.

Christmas Movies to Watch
It is now Christmastime and therefore we are going from one streaming service to another and announcing the best Christmas movies available. There are so many Christmas movies out there but being that every channel has its own service they are spread out all over the place. So that no matter what streaming services you have you will not have to search too far for some holiday cheer. Disney+ is full of the nostalgic options for your holiday cheer and Hulu is more for recent history. So this is Hulu’s list of best Christmas movies.
