We're Watching What?!

Phil Tippett's Mad God is next level unhinged, and not necessarily in a good way. Angelyne is an interesting look at LA's billboard queen. The Umbrella Academy is back for season 3 but we're starting to feel a little fatigue.

We're getting payoffs in Ms. Marvel and Obi-Wan Kenobi but are questioning where the "beyond" is in Lightyear and what the hell we watched with Spiderhead.

Lightyear heads to infinity but doesn't push beyond a very basic story. Spiderhead is a web of hot mess. Emma Thompson gives her Emma Thompson best in Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. Cha Cha Real Smooth is a smooth and safe choice. Finally there's the eccentric genuineness of Brian and Charles.

The premiere of Ms. Marvel makes us relive our teenage a-hole ness in the best way possible. We're not sure what path Obi-Wan Kenobi is setting us on. Finally Jurassic World: Dominion is hopefully the extinction of the current series.

Jurassic World: Dominion tries to prey upon your desire for nostalgia, but it's a dino doo-doo sized mess. Thankfully Ms. Marvel is a breath of fresh air to the MCU. Finally our third iteration of Queer as Folk is here and it's more inclusive than ever (but there's still work to do).

At this point Obi-Wan Kenobi probably should have been called Inquisitors. Plus Fire Island, authenticity in modern romances, and our favorite Jane Austen interpretations.

The Boys are back for season 3 and more extreme than ever (which is hard to do considering the society they're mirroring is even more unhinged than one would think possible). We chatted quickly with Karl Urban, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Chase Crawford, Claudia Doumit, and head writer Eric Kripke.

More about The Boys Season 3

It’s been a year of calm. Homelander’s subdued. Butcher works for the government, supervised by Hughie of all people. But both men itch to turn this peace and quiet into blood and bone. So when The Boys learn of a mysterious Anti-Supe weapon, it sends them crashing into the Seven, starting a war, and chasing the legend of the first Superhero: Soldier Boy.

The Boys Season 3 is streaming now on Prime Video

Fire Island is the latest in a long line of Pride & Prejudice adaptations, but we'd say it's certainly amongst the most fun. Also The Boys are back and more extreme than ever (which is hard to do considering the society they're mirroring is even more unhinged than one would think possible).

Seems like Obi-Wan Kenobi has a case of the Dumbledores. Also can there be stakes when you know major outcomes? Probably but we're not convinced yet.
