The penultimate episode of the season makes some big shifts heading into next week’s finale. Charlie (Milo Ventimiglia) and his family pull off a double con to give Emma (Catherine Haena Kim) the evidence she needs on the Maguires and keep the Daphne’s (Felisha Terrell) arms dealer (Michael Gladis) from Patrick (Timothy V. Murphy) and Connor (Barry Sloane) and provide evidence back to Daphne of his father’s decision to cut her out of the operation. The risky gambit prove sucessful, with even Ollie (Shaylee Mansfield) getting involved in the family business, and allows Charlie the opportunity to walk away from the entire situation… or so he thinks.

Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.

  • Title: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.
  • IMDb: link

The award-winning, and often banned for its frank discussion of puberty and religion, Judy Blume 1970 young adult novel Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. is adapted for film by writer/director Kelly Fremon Craig. Smartly choosing to keep the film in the 70s, and avoid having to deal with modern day technology that would certainly alter the story, we are introduced to sixth-grade student Margaret (Abby Ryder Fortson) facing a number of challenges as she and her parents move from New York City to New Jersey and she navigates a new grade, new friends, the arrival of puberty, and struggles with the ideas of her family’s two different religions.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur – Check Yourself

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur – Check Yourself
  • IMDb: link

“Check Yourself” centers around Lunella (Diamond White) obsession with needing to when which turns a potential friend in a supercomputer against her as LOS-307 (Asia Kate Dillon) overheats from constant use in the pair’s chess game that will not end eventually turning it evil sending all kinds of electric gadgets and appliances after her in the school. While I think pointing out this facet of Lunella’s personality earlier in the show, before centering an entire episode on it, would have gone a long way to better sell the premise, there’s much to enjoy here including the computer easily deducing her as Moon Girl and a conclusion that not only offers Lunella growth, and a new friend who knows her secret, but also cleverly finds a way to keep the computer around as a supporting character.

Moon Knight #22

/ / Comics

Moon Knight #22 offers a Tigra-centric issue (which I’m totally onboard for, even if she answers an important question incorrectly), with a supporting appearance by her son (whose true paternity is revealed), as she works through a new version of one of Moon Knight’s old enemies hitting rich gangsters around town. Although we get plenty of Tigra as mother, hunter, and detective, it’s her role as friend and her relationship to Marc Spector that is central to the issue.
