A follow-up to Amazon’s Jack Ryan series, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War pulls retired CIA analyst Jack Ryan (John Krasinski) back into action. While doing a favor for his old friend, Ryan will discover disturbing truths while hunting down a ghost from James Greer’s (Wendell Pierce) past obsessed with returning to the morally reprehensible enhanced anti-terrorism measures post-9/11 which he believes were all that saved the world from destruction (and are still needed to keep the world safe today).

This? This is the way? The Mandalorian and Grogu completes the journey to undo all the character development from the show’s First Season. The Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu are still together flying the friendly skies as bounty hunters. Despite learning he was raised in a cult and its okay to remove your helmet Din Djarin has firmly fallen back into that brainwashing, Grogu has chosen family over Jedi training, and now we’ve even given the pair their old ship back because why not recon the Season One finale and pretend the final two seasons of the show and The Book of Boba Fett never happened?

Set during a similar period of Daredevil: Reborn, but not really a tie-in, the one-off special The Punisher: One Last Kill catches up with a spent Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) having killed off various members of the Gnucci Crime Family seeking retribution for the death of his own. Having completed his quest, the special amps up the character’s inner demons and PTSD having him hallucinate various people in his life over the course of the show including his daughter and those who he served with. I guess this is what we are getting instead of a second season of Moon Knight.

1974 – Murder on the Orient Express

Murder Mystery Monday takes us back to the 1930s and another case for the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express is one of the rare instances where I prefer the Kenneth Branagh version than the classic telling we received in 1974. Director Sidney Lumet assembles a well-known cast who all board a train for murder. However, from the very beginning of the film I have issues with how Lumet chose to frame the story revealing the importance of the Armstrong tragedy in several scenes and newspaper front pages that go on ad nauseam.

Scarecrow Sunday takes us to 80s Washington, D.C. and the unusual partnership between a housewife and a spy. “Service Above and Beyond” offers a simple setup with Amanda (Kate Jackson) accompanying Lee (Bruce Boxleitner) to a party where important intelligence is to be passed on. When Amanda catches the attention of one of those under investigation, and makes up an outlandish backstory based on a romance novel she’s been reading, the Agency backstops the identity allowing her to distract the corrupt businessman (Paul Shenar) while Scarecrow looks into the unsavory Russian (Walter Gotell) he’s gotten into business with.
