Once and Future #27
- Title: Once and Future #27
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Kieron Gillen
- Artist: Dan Mora
While the appearance of the sword in the stone moves all the various Arthurs to action, Duncan, Bridgette, and Rose do what they can to keep the would-be kings from claiming a throne until Christmas, Once and Future #27 also turns its sights back on the deformed Galahad and his quest for the Grail. The character has been on the periphery of the comic for quite awhile, but hasn’t been a major player. Here the disheartened warrior gets the encouragement he needs to finish his quest which is achieved but the story doesn’t exactly end in the manner his mother had hoped.

Only Murders in the Building – Framed
- Title: Only Murders in the Building – Framed
- IMDb: link
“Framed” centers around the painting found in Charles’ (Steve Martin) apartment. Although the podcasters don’t learn who put it there, or why they want to frame them for Bunny’s (Jayne Houdyshell) murder, the painting itself provides some answers with the arrival of Bunny’s mother (Shirley MacLaine), who like the artist, once had an affair with Charles’ father (Jeffrey Emerson). The painting, which turns out to be the replica rather than the original, only creates more questions for our intrepid amateur detectives who may be helped, or possibly be led astray, by Bunny’s parting gift to Oliver (Martin Short).

Asking for It
- Title: Asking for It
- IMDb: link
The first feature from writer/director Eamon O’Rourke has some interesting ideas and a solid enough cast to explore them. Sadly, Asking for It never quite figures out what it wants to be or how to get there. While there are flashes of a revenge story following the previously-cheery Joey (Kiersey Clemons) joining a group of militant women (Alexandra Shipp, Vanessa Hudgens, Leslie Stratton, Radha Mitchell, Leyna Bloom, and Lisa Yaro) on an Indian reservation after being date raped by a longtime acquaintance (Casey Cott), Asking for It isn’t a revenge story. It also isn’t a character study or drama. It’s easy to focus on what the film isn’t, but much harder to nail down what Asking for It is.
