A fan recently asked a funny, yet thought-provoking question on Threads while rewatching the movie *Superman* (now streaming on HBO Max). They wondered if the prisoners trapped in Lex Luthor’s miniature universe have any privacy, or if they can see each other using the bathroom! They directly asked James Gunn, the filmmaker, for an answer, adding a laughing emoji to their query.

The first season of *The Terminal List: Dark Wolf* concluded with a dramatic and explosive finale.

I first heard about the movie *Good Boy* a few months ago and was immediately curious, but also worried about what would happen to the dog, Indy.
