Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #124
- Title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #124
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Sophie Campbell
- Artist: Ken Garing
Christmas comes for the Turtles in the form of a silent issue without narration or dialogue. Playing on recent events, we see various members of the Splinter Clan searching in vain for the missing weasels . The first Christmas without Splinter is also felt by the brothers who still don’t know about the new face hiding in the shadows as Oroku Saki finds Old Hob and the weasels, and lets the Turtles know through and anonymous message that they are safe finally allowing for a low-key Christmas.
Without the need for dialogue, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #124 hits on several of the themes of the current arc offering a melancholy Christmas for all concerned, but one at least where the Turtles know the weasels are safe. Saki continues to help where he can as we wait for the former nemesis to eventually reveal himself.

Legacies – I Can’t Be the One to Stop You
- Title: Legacies – I Can’t Be the One to Stop You
- wiki: link
Working as the show’s mid-season finale, “I Can’t Be the One to Stop You” plays on subverting expectations as Lizzie (Jenny Boyd) catches up to not-Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) who is actually Aurora de Martel (Rebecca Breeds) walking around in Hope’s body and we’re teased with a team-up between the two prior to Lizzie helping Hope get back her body. However, what she earns for her trouble is a broken neck (although not apparently a lasting death). Despite a tease that Hope’s humanity had returned, our tribrid remains an emotionless killer who now has an undead friend to deal with (along with a crazy vampire still plotting revenge).

Licorice Pizza
- Title: Licorice Pizza
- IMDb: link
During the 70s in San Fernando Valley a 15-year-old child actor will meet a 25-year-old photographer’s assistant on his yearbook picture day and nothing will ever be the same. Licorice Pizza offers the unlikely pairing of the charming hustler Gary (Cooper Hoffman) and the smart but somewhat lost Alana (Alana Haim) who begin as friends, become something more complicated, and then eventually give into their feelings for each other.
Other characters will come and go, including Bradley Cooper offering an insane take on John Peters in one of my favorite performances of the year, but the movie is about our leads’ (often dysfunctional) relationship. The film takes several unexpected turns including Cooper’s introduction, Gary being momentarily arrested, Alana looking for a more meaningful life working on the mayoral campaign of Joel Wachs (Benny Safdie), and Gary’s various enterprises which include a waterbed company and arcade.
