Space Ghost #1

/ / Comics

Relaunching the series with a new volume but keeping the same creative team for no real reason (who does Dynamite Entertainment think they are, Marvel?), Space Ghost #1 gives us the Toymaker‘s attack on Playtopia Prime turning the amusement park into a death trap and threatening the lives of all the hostages. Intercut with the comic’s B-story, we get a lot of hero and and villain wisecracking to each other as Space Ghost challenges the Toymaker to a game where, thanks to the help of Blip, he wins.

War 2

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: War 2
  • IMDb: link

A direct sequel to 2019’s War, although other films within the shared YRF Spy Universe take place in between, War 2 returns Hrithik Roshan as Major Kabir Dhaliwal who, by all appearances, has been working as a mercenary for hire while only his longtime friend Colonel Luthra (Ashutosh Rana) knows is still putting India first even if it is no longer as an official member of the R&AW. The first thing you notice from the film, in an extended action sequence in the mountains of Japan, is how much sleeker and polished it looks compared to the first film (having more than double the budget than the original War).

The Sandman – Season of Mists

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: The Sandman – Season of Mists
  • IMDb: link

“Is the rescue of a single soul worth risking your entire kingdom?”

Making reference to several events from the show’s First Season,  the Second Season of The Sandman opens with a summoned meeting of the Endless called by his brother Destiny (Adrian Lester). Despite the sequence being a bit stilted, and the characters hilariously awkardly dressed, things go progress thanks to Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) who, unintentionally goading him into it, will lead Morpheus (Tom Sturridge) back into Hell with, or without, Lucifer‘s (Gwendoline Christie) permission. It seems the warning Destiny received from the Fates portending upheaval and change for the Endless has begun as the show kicks off its second, and final, season.

She Rides Shotgun

/ / Movie Reviews
  • Title: She Rides Shotgun
  • IMDb: link

Adapted from the novel of the same name, She Rides Shotgun opens with Polly Huff (Ana Sophia Heger) being picked up from school not by her mother or stepfather but her biological father Nate (Taron Egerton) who was released from prison that morning. And he’s had something of a day. In a choice that pays off beautifully, we don’t learn anything before Polly does. She’s a smart enough girl to know something is wrong with Nate showing up in a hotwired car but also scared enough to not push the issue with the most dangerous man in her world.
