WHAT IF… SERIES REVIEW We grew up reading those wacky “What if…” comics from Marvel that speculated sometimes seriously about alternate worlds where events happened differently in the comics, like ‘What if Captain America had not vanished during WWII?’ and sometimes not so seriously like with ‘What if the Avengers defeated everybody?’.

THE SUICIDE SQUAD MOVIE REVIEW James Gunn slides on over to pick up the reigns at DC with this second “Suicide Squad” film and the anticipation level, for those of us who dig Gunn’s whole thing, loved his “Guardians of the Galaxy” films AND his pre-big budget crazier fare, was sky high.

WANDAVISION SERIES REVIEW Continuing where the MCU films left off, this first in a series of Disney+ mini series follows Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) as she lives an idyllic and literally sitcom life with her formerly dead partner Vision (Paul Bettany).
