MLK/FBI
- Title: MLK/FBI
- IMDb: link
Director Sam Pollard‘s film examines J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI‘s extensive, and legally ambiguous, investigation into Martin Luther King Jr.‘s life through recently declassified documents, archival footage, and interviews from those involved.
The documentary is a sobering reminder how the broad brush of Communism could justify nearly anything during the height of the Red Scare, even allow Hoover and his minions to wiretap King in hopes of discrediting one of the leaders of the Civil Rights movement based not on his political or civil rights agenda but the man’s private life taking place behind closed doors. With the wiretaps themselves not declassified until at least 2027, the documentary mainly has to speculate what is on those tapes (and their legitimacy), but the range of the FBI’s dirty tricks to discredit a black man who they saw as dangerous to their own interests couldn’t be more clear.

The Cleaning Lady – The Lion’s Den

The second episode of The Cleaning Lady cements Thony’s (Elodie Yung) lifestyle when Arman (Adan Canto) steps in to get the urgent medical care her son needs and she proves her worth to Arman’s boss by leading them to a thief whose actions caused a gun fight with a disappointed buyer. Two episodes in, it’s obvious the health of Luca (Valentino LaSalle) is going to be the show’s go-to plot device whenever Thony even thinks about trying to leave her new friends. For better or worse, this is the cleaning lady’s life now.

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #10
- Title: The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #10

- Writer: Ivan Cohen
- Artist: Dario Brizuela
When a number of resorts are terrorized by a series of creatures all resembling a sasquatch, Batman enlists the help of Mystery, Inc. and the Question to solve the case. The reason for the attack comes from the land each of the resorts were built on, as General Eiling was making use of the Shaggy Man for his own devious ends in order to put each of the resorts out of business so he could then plunder an old military cache buried deep underground.
Renee, appearing both as herself and the Question, is a fun addition that fits right in with Scooby-Doo and the gang. Unlike the gang’s usual traps, the one Batman sets captures both Shaggy Man and the General without a hitch (although I don’t know if Batman really needed to surf in able to pull that off, but to each his own).

Superman & Lois – What Lies Beneath
- Title: Superman & Lois – What Lies Beneath
- wiki: link
Superman & Lois returns for its Second Season with characters trying to get back to normal after the summer. Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) is in uber-bitch mode while still not dealing with the emotions that a daughter from a different reality is walking around Smallville. Most of the episode deals with teens as Natalie (Tayler Buck) struggles with fitting in to a new world (and apparently will become part of the family), Sarah (Inde Navarrette) begins pulling back from Jordan (Alex Garfin) after returning from her summer trip, and Jonathan (Jordan Elsass) continues to struggle with the team while also getting a little frisky with his girlfriend sending an already tense Lois over the edge. Although less featured, Lana‘s (Emmanuelle Chriqui) role in the political campaign seems to set the stage for a larger arc which will play out over the season.
