Top 3 Daredevil episodes

3. “New York’s Finest” s02

The introduction of Frank Castle never looked so menacing. The recreation of a classic comic book scene in this episode gives us our best look at the coin these two are the sides of.

2. “In The Blood” s01

This episode FINALLY shows us the Kingpin’s face… as well as just how far he is willing to go in order to preserve his community.

1. “Cut Man” s01

Easily the most famous episode from the series, and for good reason. The fight scene choreography could STILL teach the MCU a thing or two.

Christmas Story

A sequel 40 years later? Apparently. This one will star, once again, Peter Billingsly.

There have been a couple of movies billed in some fashion as an “official” sequel to A Christmas Story previously. In 1994, It Runs in the Family featured a young Kieran Culkin as Ralphie and Charles Grodin as the Old Man. It did not take place at Christmas but was based on other writings from Jean Shepherd. Subsequent releases have changed the title to My Summer Story. Later, in 2012, a movie with the title A Christmas Story 2 went direct-to-video and ignores all of the events of My Summer Story. That movie also looks truly awful.
