Star Wars: The Bad Batch - Juggernaut

“Juggernaut” is a bit of a disappointment. The scenes of Omega (Michelle Ang) and her return to Tantiss are all filler when the final scene of her being escorted into the vault could easily have been the first. We get a reunion with Emerie Karr (Keisha Castle-Hughes) that doesn’t actually provide any on-screen furthering of the story or their relationship, and if you skipped the episode you wouldn’t miss a single beat of Omega’s storyline. If you need to stretch out Omega’s storyline to give the Batch time to find her, at least give her something to do.

Obi-Wan Kenobi #6

Obi-Wan Kenobi #6 concludes the comic adaptation of the Disney+ television show giving us Obi-Wan Kenobi sacrificing himself to ensure Leia‘s escape, the Jedi’s encounter with Darth Vader on Jabiim’s moon, and the epilogue on Tatooine.

The Beautiful Game

Based loosely on real stories, The Beautiful Game follows the British football team to Rome for the Homeless World Cup (a real tournament that uses a football championship which features homeless players of various skills from countries around the world to bring awareness to homelessness). The tournament, which many likely know very little about, is certainly a heartwarming topic to build a movie around. The stories we get told with it as it’s backdrop, however, are a bit more hit-and-miss.

Cat Person

Adapted from the short story of the same name, Cat Person stars Locke & Key‘s Emilia Jones as an overly imaginative college student working part time at a local movie theater. After a couple of awkward conversations with a regular, Margot (Jones) decides to give the older Robert (Nicholas Braun) a chance. A romance that blossoms over texts, however, runs into issues when the two spend more time together in real life.
