The Boys
Last we left our intrepid heroes Annie beat the shit out of Firecracker on live television. Firecracker also admitted to raping a 15 year old boy on live television but no one seemed to care about that. Butcher’s brain problem seems to have a life of its own and it is causing Butcher to hallucinate, blackout and potentially retain some of the power he had from the Compound V. Frenchie confessed his secret to his boyfriend, Kimiko had a showdown with the girl from the little fighting ring she was raised in. And Huey gave his dad some V and that perhaps saved his life? We will find out.

The FALLOUT Series and the Question of Enemies
Just binge watched the entire season of FALLOUT. All eight episodes in a row because I’m a good little film addict that way. The end credits were coming up with he sun and I have to say it was worth the rough day ahead. That's how good I think the show is.

Eric miniseries (2024) review
When 9-year-old Edgar disappears on his way to school, his father becomes convinced that the only way to get him back home is to get his creation, Eric (a seven-foot-tall puppet) on TV. Bizarre as this outline may be, Eric the mini-series, is an incredibly dense and beautiful story of the scars left due to parental neglect in 1980s New York.

Is True Detective: North Country the return of the True Detective series?
True Detective is finally back with Season 4, five years after the 3rd. Seasons 2 and 3 never reached the prestige or excellence of Season 1, but diehard fans of the show never gave up hope. While True Detective: North Country doesn’t match up to the level of the first one, it is enjoyable and suspenseful on its own merit.

Desperate Housewives
The beginning of season 2 starts right where season 1 left off. Bree is grieving in isolation. Lynette is headed to work per her husband's request. Susan is in the hospital after the fallout with Zach and Mike. And Gabrielle throws John out of her house after he revealed to Carlos that he was the one that she was having an affair with. Oh and we have new neighbors on Wisteria lane. Not quite sure what the overall mystery for the season is going to be but we are starting off well with a very easy to follow timeline. I appreciate that we went straight from season 1 to season 2 with no time in between.

Atlas
Okay I know that the internet is on a JLo hate train, and they should be, she’s awful. But you know I can’t judge a movie properly before I see it. So I have forced myself to sit through Atlas. This seems to be a passion project for her but there are other people involved. I am going into this pretty blind, I am not even sure what the film is about so me and my opinion are a complete clean slate. Can the rest of the cast save this movie from JLo…that is the question.

Tuesday
I have just watched this movie and wanted to write up my impressions while they are still fresh. I'll use my already familiar media literacy critique formula: any good creation of art (a movie, a painting, a book - anything, really, that has some encoded information in it as a medium) will affect us humans on four different dimensions. The best ones will pull all four strings, but a successful creation would probably have at least two:
