Betty Boop, much like Barbie, was a groundbreaking character when she first appeared, becoming one of the earliest animated female stars in movies. Pairing her with Kate Brunson feels right – they both represent iconic status and star power. The only downside is that we have to wait to see this project come to life, but hopefully, it will be worth it – maybe even big enough for the Imax screen!
After a long build-up spanning almost 40 episodes, the season finale of The Boys, titled “Blood and Bone,” finally kills off the villain Homelander. Stripped of his powers by Kimiko, he desperately pleads for his life, but Butcher ultimately kills him with a crowbar in a brutal and graphic scene. While Antony Starr’s performance as Homelander has been consistently excellent and deserving of an Emmy, the show arguably waited too long to remove the character. It seems The Boys was hesitant to lose him and Starr’s compelling portrayal, extending his storyline beyond what the story – and the original comic books – needed. This resulted in a weaker ending, particularly by downplaying Butcher’s death in the comics and turning it into a minor plot point.
Honestly, I went into SNL UK not expecting much, but I’ve been really pleasantly surprised! It’s been a breath of fresh air for British comedy, seeing a bunch of newer comics just go for it and be genuinely weird and funny on live TV. Yes, Lorne Michaels is involved and they kept ‘Weekend Update,’ but it’s quickly found its own unique style. It’s not perfect – like the original SNL, sketches sometimes drag on a bit too long – but the first season really shines when it embraces British humor. Think Celeste Dring getting hilariously carried away with wine, Annabel Marlow perfectly capturing a Gen-Z take on Enid Blyton, or Emma Sidi’s character desperately trying to get the NHS to listen. Despite what you might think about British politeness, we’re actually full of quirky people, and the writers have been brilliant at finding those eccentricities and turning them into something really funny.
