Minority Mindset

When James Gunn began building the DC Universe, he pledged that each movie and show would have its own unique feel, unlike the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Many feel that despite the variety of Marvel films and series – like Black Panther, Werewolf by Night, and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – they often share a similar tone. Whether that’s true or not, it’s become how many people see Marvel, and the DCU has an opportunity to be different by embracing diverse styles and storytelling, mirroring the varied nature of comic books.

Directed by James Jones, a highly acclaimed documentary filmmaker with BAFTA and Emmy awards, and Megumi Inman, Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare offers a detailed look at the devastating Fukushima nuclear accident. The film uses firsthand accounts from those who experienced the disaster to tell the story in real-time.

The sequel will bring back familiar actors, and some new voices will be joining the cast as well. A beloved character from the original game, Yoshi – the cute green dinosaur who often helps Mario – will also appear, hinted at in a short scene after the first movie ended.

New photos offer a first look at the upcoming Friday the 13th prequel series, hinting at the horror to come. One image shows a hand – likely Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees – gripping a bloodstained knife. Another reveals the legs of two camp counselors, possibly explaining the source of the blood. A final, unsettling picture depicts the Crystal Lake dock at night. You can see the photos below.

Late night shows experienced some noticeable tension with their audiences this week. While two audience interactions already made a ‘top five’ list, there were two other interesting moments. On Have I Got News for You, comedian Gianmarco Soresi jokingly pointed out the audience’s muted reaction to a controversial joke about America and Israel, compared to their response to a joke about the Iran war and the Epstein case. He simply said, “Oh, less applause for that one I noticed.” Meanwhile, when Conan O’Brien was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to discuss the Oscars, he seemed uneasy with the audience chanting his name, telling them, “You sound like an angry jury, so just settle down.” It seems the audiences are often more engaging than the celebrities themselves – except for one instance on the top five list.

Starting soon, Amazon is increasing the price of its ad-free Prime Video plan from $2.99 to $4.99 per month. They’re also renaming it “Prime Video Ultra.”
