Wednesday – The Devil You Woe

  • Title: Wednesday – The Devil You Woe
  • wiki: link

There’s quite a bit (perhaps too much?) jammed into the second episode of the show’s Second Season. We get the school practicing Prank Day (which has minimal effect on the plot outside of a couple of scenes), the murder of Donovan Galpin (Jamie McShane), Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) visiting Tyler (Hunter Doohan) in the mental institution where he has been locked away, Bianca (Joy Sunday) being blackmailed into charming Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) into reaching out to her mother, Wednesday loosing her psychic abilities, and Wednesday needing to solve a mystery on the fly to rescue Enid (Emma Myers) from a secondary stalker (not the one previously discussed) which turns out to be a student (Evie Templeton) with the ability to become invisible.

“The Ruler of Hell” and “More Devils Than Vast Hell Can Hold” conclude the season’s first arc with Morpheus‘ (Tom Sturridge) journey to Hell going not at all how he thought. Finding the realm empty and a weary Lucifer (Gwendoline Christie) abdicating their throne, inspired by Morpheus leaving his own realm, Dream becomes responsible for finding the next ruler of the Realm (and there are many who want the job from Norse Gods to Faerie Folk to demons to invisible entities in a box).

Shin Godzilla

  • Title: Shin Godzilla
  • IMDb: link

Returning to theaters, 2016’s Shin Godzilla, responsible for kicking of the franchise’s reboot into the Reiwa era, is an odd film. A talky film focused more on the politics and bureaucracy of Japan’s response to Godzilla than the monster (who literally just stands around for much of the film), it has notably prolonged lulls before returning to the title character. As for Godzilla, the film makes an interesting choice making the creature mostly unrecognizable (almost laughably so) on his initial emergence from the ocean and having him slowly metamorphize over the course of the film into something that finally more closely resembles classic Godzilla.
