Andor Review
This show can make you fall in love with Star Wars all over again, discovering that wonder you had as a kid but with the mature point of view you have now. It’s the best of Sci-Fi. It’s the best of fantasy. It’s the best Star Wars since Return of the Jedi.

Arcane Show Review
While Arcane shows us what are not the answers, personally, I believe Christianity has the answer. But whether or not you believe that answer, the question remains. What do you do when you’ve done something unacceptably wrong? Arcane is powerful enough to deal with that question, and many more.

Mission Impossible 7: Dead Reckoning Part One: How to Keep a Franchise Fresh
While Mission: Impossible has always advertised itself on being bigger and badder than the previous movies, what really makes the movies shine is the characters. This movie keeps it fresh through Hayley Atwell’s Grace, and the other characters that drive the twists and thrills of Dead Reckoning: Part One.
