In the spring season finale of Good Trouble Season 4 Episode 9, “That’s me in the Spotlight,” in the opening black and white sequence, we see scenes that tease what might happen by the end of the episode. And we saw moments of climax and bravery for every character. Halfway through season four, each character has a set of new problems introduced, and as with every finale, there’s always a cliffhanger that leaves us in suspense.
When we talk about cinema, we’re talking about storytellers and, with a storyteller, comes a point of view—a style.
“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is a simple taste of what the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) could offer going forward by letting directors find solace in their creative landscapes. I’m hoping Marvel continues to take chances and reap the rewards.
Robert Eggers tends to make movies that aren’t exactly for all audiences. His first movie “The Witch” is a slow burn that takes place in the early colonization of New England, with dialogue that is very accurate to the time. His next movie, “The Lighthouse,” while being darkly funny and showcasing great performances from Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson, still has a relatively slow plot and not easily discernible language. “The Northman” is his first movie that pleases both the cinephile and the action-hungry audience members.
For eight seasons, the groundbreaking, Emmy Award–nominated comedy series “black-ish” was lauded for telling stories that shined a light on current events through the lens of a Black American family.

The 18th episode of “Young Justice: Phantoms” was another fantastic chapter in the HBO Max original series. Check out my spoiler free review (above) and complete spoiler-filled recap and analysis (below).
“Sonic The Hedgehog 2” is everything that a sequel should always strive for. “Sonic 2” did just that with the principle of hitting the ground running while fleshing out the story to feel expansive, committing to world-building, introducing the established lore without bogging down the narrative of the film, and compromising the spirit of the franchise.
“The Adam Project” is a love letter to timeless classics, such as Steven Spielberg’s “ET” and Robert Zemeckis’s “Back To The Future,” while rekindling the childhood aspiration of being called to adventure through narratives and tales of fictional imagination centered around diamond absolutes and leaves one wondering if your future is the one you truly envision.
When we talk about who or why Batman is, we can end up with a million answers. What he does, why he does it, how he thinks, what’s his endgame, etc.
“The Batman” is a passion project from an auteur in the presence and brilliance of director Matt Reeves. It’s clear Reeves, and everyone involved, cared about the character and world of Bruce Wayne.
Sonia Curtis was born into the world of acting. Her father, Howard Curtis, was a well-known stuntman. His works included hits like “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.”
The Season Finale of “The Book of Boba Fett” saw a former hired gun take responsibility over the welfare of people under him, a father reunite with his son, and a planet’s people take up arms against a criminal organization that wanted to use it for its own selfish purposes. This episode was also about closure between the former hired gun and another from his past.
It’s finally time to talk about Gotham’s Golden Boy Wonder, Dick Grayson, also known as Nightwing.
