The Falling

  • Title: The Falling
  • IMDb: link

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to 2014’s The Falling which is an odd thriller most notable for having the good sense to cast Maisie Williams halfway through her Game of Thrones run and Florence Pugh in her first role. The pair play best friends at a strict English girls school in 1969 where Abbie’s (Pugh) sexual exploration and sudden and inexplicable death have a dramatic effect on Lydia (Williams). This is followed by other girls at the school showing similar symptoms to those of Abbie before her death in short unexplained fainting spells the administration of the school refuses to take seriously.

True Lies – Bitter Sweethearts

  • Title: True Lies – Bitter Sweethearts
  • IMDb: link

“Bitter Sweethearts” is another episode of True Lies where every facet of the show hammers away the exact same point with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. This episode is notable for returning one of the actors from the movie which inspired the series, albeit in a different role, when a retired agents of Omega are targeted. All the stories play off the struggles of working with someone you have a relationship asking the question about whether or not love can survive Omega.

Based on true events, James Norton stars as charming conman Robert Hendy-Freegard who ruined several lives over the years while pretending to be an agent of MI5.

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #7

/ / Comics

With Daphne winning her way into a Gotham City talent show, where Bruce Wayne just happens to be one of the celebrity judges, our gang of young detectives is around to investigate when contestants begin disappearing. There’s some fun to be had here with the comic continuing to show off Daphne’s skills, in a call-back to earlier issues. While I don’t understand either Velma‘s act or that of Shaggy and Scooby, it does get them into the proceedings for an issue that doesn’t find Mystery, Inc. running from a ghost or attempting to set up a trap.

Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #4

/ / Comics

I must admit, I’m not enjoying this latest season of Batman: The Adventures Continue as much as the earlier runs. Don’t get me wrong, the stories aren’t bad, but as the comic has gotten a bit darker in tone the comic has lost some of the all-ages magic of the series which spawned it. Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #4 is most notable for working the idea of the Batman Beyond suit into the earlier adventures of Batman and Robin during the Batman: The Animated Series run as the Dynamic Duo fight someone in possession of the prototype armor (which, I guess, just took a really, really long time for Batman to get working).
