  • IMDb: link

Your basic paint-by-number sitcom, with animals thrown in, the first episode of animal control introduces to the motley crew of animal control workers dominated by the sarcastic Frank (Joel McHale) who is no happy about being assigned a new partner , former snowboarder Shred (Michael Rowland), and attempts to get him to quit multiple times over the course of the episode before showing the smallest glimmer of compassion. If you think all this sounds like Community-lite, well of course it does.

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to 1991 and director Rob Reiner‘s biographical courtroom drama The Ghosts of Mississippi concerning the prosecution of white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith (James Woods) 30 years after he murdered civil rights activist Medgar Evers (James Pickens Jr.).

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum-meh-nia

With several of the big Marvel heroes phased out, it falls on Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) to move from plucky comic relief to tentpole of the MCU. Rudd’s third Ant-Man film as a lead is his weakest, although he’s certainly not to blame. Scott Lang continues to be fun and charming as the script moves characters through brightly colored CGI-manufactured sets for both joke and sight gag payoffs.

Young Hellboy: Assault on Castle Death #4

/ / Comics

Young Hellboy: Assault on Castle Death comes to a close with the wanderings of a feverish young Hellboy and his idol getting wrapped-up in the fourth and final issue of the mini-series.
