I Know What You Did Last Summer
- Title: I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)
- IMDb: link
Other than the basic concept, and a few minor details, I have no strong memory of 1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer which, although is credited for helping revive the slasher genre following closely on the heels of the much more successful Scream, was ultimately a rather forgettable example of the genre. Skip ahead nearly 30 years and you’ve got a new version of the film which offers a similar set up of a car accident caused by a group of friends (Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, and Sarah Pidgeon) who make a pact to cover it up rather than face the consequences of their actions. One year later, however, someone with a hook (and also knives and a speargun) begins targeting them and their loved ones. Are they smart enough to find the killer before they are all killed?

Ironheart – We in Danger, Girl / Bad Magic
“We in Danger, Girl” and “Bad Magic” are where Riri Williams‘ (Dominique Thorne) life takes a turn. More interested in investigating the Hood‘s (Anthony Ramos) than doing her part in the next heist, for no real reason other than curiosity, Riri nearly botches another robbery and her actions not only cause to be killed (Manny Montana) but also throw the life of Joe (Alden Ehrenreich), who it turns out isn’t really Joe, into chaos allowing the Hood to recruit him as well. The two episode arc is all about bad decisions and regret and Riri creating a number of enemies who now want her dead. Of course what this means is that Riri doesn’t get to make a hero turn but will be forced into becoming on due the fallout of her own actions. That’s not the most intriguing hero’s journey.
