The highly anticipated Marvel movie "BLACK WIDOW" has finally released after numerous delays including the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. The first movie of Phase 4 and the long awaited solo film for the popular female Avenger, Black Widow stars Scarlett Johannson as the titular character taking place after Captain America: Civil War. It is a mix of an origin story and a inter-sequel that films some of the gaps for the Black Widow within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It introduces characters such as Yelena (Florence Pugh), Red Guardian (David Harbour) and the Taskamaster.

We give our overall thoughts on what we like about the film, what could have been done better and what we are looking forward to now that the Phase 4 of the MCU has officially begun!

Whether it is raunchy comedies, innovative genre defining films, or quotable juggernauts, Mike and Matt share their 5 favorite films from the mid 2000's during their teenage years.

What are some of your favorite films from your teenage years?

TRESE is a new animated show produced and streaming on Netflix. Trese is based on the Filipino comics with the same name, which was released back in 2005. It follows the main protagonist Alexandra Trese, a spiritual warrior who protects the streets of Manila, Philippines battling demons, evil spirits and other supernatural phenomena. In this short 6 episode series, the show integrates old Filipino folklore and modern horror tropes helping to create an interesting blend of action and storytelling.

As Filipino's ourselves, we were proud to see Filipino media being distributed on a huge platform like Netflix helping to shed light on Filipino culture outside of food, comedy and music. Trese is a step in the right direction for Filipino media and we hope you can check it out for yourselves!
