Netflix’s No. 2 Movie Nobody 2 Proves the Danger of Action Franchise Fatigue

Trying to outdo the original, Nobody 2 delivers even more exaggerated action, outlandish villains, and less focus on character development. While still an enjoyable and fast-paced 89-minute action comedy, the film demonstrates that some great action movies are best left as standalone stories, rather than becoming long-running series.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come Needs Nastier Rich People

In the Ready or Not movies, the villain – known as Le Bail – enforces a strict set of rules with deadly consequences: those who break them don’t receive forgiveness, they literally explode. Ready or Not 2 introduces a new group of potential victims, a more diverse and dangerous bunch than the Le Domases, the family Grace married into in the first film. The sequel begins immediately after the first one ends, with Grace recovering in the hospital after surviving a night of attempted murder by her in-laws. She reconnects with her sister, Faith, and we meet the five other families who form a sinister council. The Danforths, who host the new deadly game on their estate, are led by twins Ursula and Titus, the children of their ailing father, Chester. The Madrid-based El Caidos family, headed by Ignacio and his children, also join the hunt, and one of his kids has a particular grudge against Grace.

Chuck Norris, Actor and Martial Artist, Dead at 86

Chuck Norris is a highly skilled martial artist with a black belt in both karate and Tae Kwon Do, and his acting career began with encouragement from Steve McQueen. He became known for starring in action movies like The Way of the Dragon, The Delta Force, and The Hitman. Later, he played the lead role in Walker, Texas Ranger for nine seasons. During his time hosting Late Night, Conan O’Brien often playfully showed clips from Walker, Texas Ranger, reacting with mock surprise or fear each time. This running joke eventually led to a memorable appearance by Norris himself in 2004. Throughout his career, Norris consistently showed a good sense of humor, proving he was as gracious as he was formidable.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 & 3 Update Is Good & Bad News for Defenders Fans

In 2017, Netflix released The Defenders, a team-up featuring the leads from Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist as they battled the organization known as The Hand. This was the one and only time these four heroes joined forces in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as Netflix later canceled all of its Marvel shows two years after the miniseries’ release.

Jason Statham’s 92% Rated ‘John Wick’ Rip-off Lands New Streaming Home

The film, directed by David Ayer (known for Suicide Squad), centers on Adam Clay, a former hitman. After a loved one is killed by the son of a wealthy man, Clay comes out of retirement seeking revenge. It’s a story with echoes of the plot from Keanu Reeves’ popular action film – though without the canine companion!

Afroman, Voice of the People, Won Late Night This Week

I also wanted to highlight a really clever way The Daily Show illustrated how inconsistent Trump’s Iran policy was. There were so many inconsistencies, and they weren’t humorous – they were actually quite troubling. It’s almost too easy to catch Trump in a falsehood, and honestly, dwelling on it just leaves you feeling worse. But the show’s idea of having four different Trump personalities debate each other, like commentators on a sports show, was genuinely entertaining. And we really need to find those moments of levity, don’t we? Here’s a look at other funny moments from late night this week.
