Three of the five heroes from the old Netflix shows are now back in current Marvel projects. The ‘Defenders Saga’ included a lot of different characters – both good and bad, like Kilgrave, Cottonmouth, Misty Knight, and Colleen Wing, as well as supporting characters like Stick and Turk. Now, the new season of Daredevil: Born Again has revealed what happened to another one of those original Netflix characters.
Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom’s wedding happened very quickly – they’d only been dating for under two months when they got married on September 27, 2009. Because of how fast things moved, Odom’s family didn’t believe the wedding was real, thinking he was joking. His first wife, Liza Morales, said she initially thought it was a prank, and his aunt, Janean Mercer, agreed it was too soon. None of Odom’s children attended the wedding, and his oldest son, Lamar Odom Jr., doesn’t recall his father even telling him he was getting married. Mercer stated that no family members were invited. A childhood friend, Anthony “Pumpkin” Booker, who did attend, said Odom spent two hours explaining how marrying Kardashian would improve his life.
If you watch the Star Wars films in order of release, the prequels came out first, followed by the original trilogy, and then the sequels. This doesn’t include the spin-off movies or the many Star Wars TV series. Those shows are set at different points in the timeline, and sometimes add details that change things that were previously established – a practice often called ‘retconning’.
The film Swiss Army Man is a quirky and surprisingly touching story about a man trying to end his life (played by Paul Dano) who gets stranded on an island. He unexpectedly finds companionship – and a path to hope – in a corpse (Daniel Radcliffe) that washes ashore. The movie is a strong piece of work and helped establish Daniel Radcliffe as an actor beyond his famous role as Harry Potter.
In the Stargate SG-1 episode “The Other Side,” the team meets a potential ally who offers advanced technology. While O’Neill is eager to trade for it, Daniel Jackson worries about the ethics of getting involved in a conflict they don’t fully understand. His concerns prove valid when they discover the Eurondans have dangerous, Nazi-like ideologies, prompting O’Neill to disable their defenses and leave them open to attack from their enemies.
Apple is continuing its commitment to Foundation, having already released three seasons and renewed it for a fourth. Based on Isaac Asimov’s classic novels, the show was initially planned as an eight-season story, and there’s still plenty of narrative left to tell. This kind of long-term planning is unusual for today’s TV shows, particularly in a genre that requires viewers to be patient and engaged over time.
I’m so excited to hear that all three of the Chicago shows are coming back! Chicago Fire will be on for a 15th season, Chicago PD for a 14th, and Chicago Med for a 12th. What’s really cool is that NBC renewed them much earlier than usual – typically, we find out in April, around the time NBCUniversal shows off its upcoming programs to advertisers. Variety reported that this is a surprisingly early announcement for the One Chicago franchise.
A federal judge ruled on Tuesday, March 31st, that former President Trump’s attempt to cut funding for public media organizations like PBS and NPR was illegal.
Usually, we suggest the best shows on streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and HBO Max. But this series is different – it’s perfect for people who enjoy unintentionally funny, low-quality entertainment. The 4-part Netflix thriller has received overwhelmingly negative reviews and currently has a 25% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite this, it’s become strangely captivating – it’s so bizarre and badly made, it’s worth watching just for the experience.
As a critic, I’ve been consistently impressed with Taika Waititi’s work. He really made his mark on the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the incredibly fun Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder. But he’s not just a superhero director – his film Jojo Rabbit was brilliant and even earned him an Oscar for its screenplay! Now, he’s flexing his storytelling muscles in a new direction, having written the story for a new animated short based on the popular video game Brawl Stars, introducing the character Najia. It’s fascinating to see his creative range extend to different mediums.
