Minority Mindset

Just before the new season of their show premieres on February 3rd, Amanda and Kyle have split up. The upcoming season hints at trouble in their marriage, and recent conversations reveal Amanda was frustrated with Kyle’s late nights and partying – she told friends he once stayed at a fan’s apartment until 6 a.m. She was also upset that he involved their issues with their friend group and didn’t appreciate her support. Meanwhile, Kyle felt Amanda didn’t support his biggest DJ performance yet, highlighting a difference in what they each considered important.

Issue #12 of Star Wars: Legacy of Vader (created by Charles Soule, Luke Ross, Nolan Woodard, and Joe Caramagna) concludes Kylo Ren’s quest to understand Darth Vader’s strength and maximize his own potential. However, he doesn’t find what he expected; instead, he encounters a vision of the Jedi he could have become.

New photos from the set suggest that Lauren Cohan will reprise her role as Maggie Rhee in The Walking Dead. Cohan last appeared in the show over a decade ago, in the midseason finale of Season 5, shortly after her character’s shocking and debated death. Fans will likely be thrilled by her return, which gives the show an opportunity to revisit and potentially address a particularly controversial storyline.

Prime Video’s upcoming series, Young Sherlock, features Hero Fiennes Tiffin as the iconic detective at age 19. With Sherlock Holmes being one of the most beloved fictional detectives ever created, this show is generating a lot of buzz, and there’s considerable excitement about what makes this new take on the character so promising.

I’ve always been a fan of DaCosta’s work, and it’s been interesting to see how audiences react so differently to her films. While people seemed to really enjoy her bigger projects, I was surprised to see her earlier, more intimate films, like Hedda and Little Woods, struggling with audience scores. Honestly, her studio movies haven’t felt as personal or impactful as I’d hoped. The Bone Temple is getting good reviews, much like a film from last year, and that feels strange to me. It just felt…empty. It’s a very ‘safe’ movie, and doesn’t really push you to think or feel anything beyond what the script is telling you. It lacks that spark of inspired filmmaking, which is disappointing.
