The opening episode of Wolf Like Me introduces us to widower and struggling single father Gary (Josh Gad) who literally crashes into Mary (Isla Fisher) in a car accident. Aside from having a way to calm Gary’s emotionally-troubled daughter (Ariel Donoghue), Mary also catches Gary’s attention for her kind ear and odd behavior. The show’s opener teases the idea of Mary’s condition, more strongly in the final minute where she races home hoping to beat sundown and lock herself away, without confirming she is indeed a werewolf.

Darth Vader #20

/ / Comics

Using the list provided, Darth Vader begins killing off suspected members of Crimson Dawn. Knowing that only half the list is accurate before starting to paint a bloody swath all the way to the Emperor’s own chambers doesn’t deter the Dark Lord of the Sith. Is this something he’s proving to his Master, or to himself?

The comic also sees the return of the former handmaiden Sabé who has joined Crimson Dawn basically to fuck with Vader (she’s the one who is responsible for the flawed list) and to keep better tabs on his movements.

The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild

/ / Home Video
  • Title: The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild
  • IMDb: link

Originally conceived as a TV-series, The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild becomes the sixth film in the Ice Age franchise. Despite the title, the main character of the film isn’t the one-eye adventurous weasel Buck (Simon Pegg) but instead the irresponsible possums Crash (Vincent Tong) and Eddie (Aaron Harris) who leave the rest of the Ice Age regulars and set off to prove they can make it on their own.

The pair’s journey leads back into the Lost World where a Protoceratops  (Utkarsh Ambudkar) is planning on taking over with an army of Raptors. Sticking close to Buck and his old friend Zee (Justina Machado), by far the most interesting character on-screen, Crash and Eddie cause chaos with their mindless antics while eventually learning how to help.
