Well, I was ready to post about last week’s episode and then Marvel dropped this nifty mid-season trailer and all my theories went out the window – I have to make some changes to my post about episode 5 while you watch it (again).

Must Be the Season of the Witch

with spoilers! If I Can’t Reach You / Let My Song Teach You – Sharon’s dead and Agatha (Kathryn Hahn) is acting callous. The others aren’t amused and it turns out, this isn’t the first time, Agatha survived the Road on her own. She’s reminded that a coven should look out for each other and that they need another Earth Witch – they summon one. To nobody’s surprise, the summoned turns out to be…

Must Be the Season of the Witch

With Spoilers! Episode 3, Through Many Miles / Of Tricks and Trials – Sharon Davis (Debra Jo Rupp) is having a bad day. Agatha (Kathryn Hahn) promised her a party but that turned into an underground witch chant which turned into a haunting and finally, they arrived at some road they have to walk barefoot. And even sitting down to rest has its perils when the Earth tries to swallow you…

A couple of hours ago, we got a new trailer – for Thunderbolts*. Have a look: It looks fun – I only watched it once so far but it looks good. I’m looking forward to it – I’m not into the game today, sorry. Where there’s a teaser trailer, there’s also the first poster – which I can’t show you ’cause X uses a f**ked up different image maker or something and it doesn’t show here. More reasons to…

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) by Tommy Wirkola   I guess I’m still not done with my obsession with fairy tales and folklore. It so happens that this is part of my own folklore and I guess I never appreciated the Brothers Grimm as part of German culture as I do these days. Sure, I was always aware of them – as their fairy tales accompanied my whole childhood, more so than Hans Christian…

Must Be the Season of the Witch

Agatha All Along (2024), created by Jac Schaeffer Agatha All Along started streaming Wednesday night in the U.S. and thus in the early A.M.s here in Europe and I got up extra early to watch the first two episodes before I had to leave the house – totally worth it. Just for a little bit of background: I love the idea of witches. What I don’t love is the cultural phenomenon of justifying murder…

The Best Ever?

Vertigo (1958) by Alfred Hitchcock I continue my venture into Hitchcock movies with Vertigo. Some people seem to love this one best of all, or even rank it as their favorite movie ever. It is not that for me – for a reason. What happens? John Ferguson (James Stewart) retired from his police job after an incident where another policeman died through his fault – in a way. Ferguson has acrophobia…

About an hour ago, Marvel Entertainment released the following on its YouTube channel: ‘Lose the mustache or lose the election,’ I guess that’s a way to put a new face in the MCU. And Harrison Ford’s face at that. The recast followed the death of William Hurt who played Thaddeus Ross in several MCU projects – or maybe they would’ve done it anyway because we’re in the Multiverse and I’m not sure…

Yesterday, Marvel released the teaser for Agatha All Along – and I kinda dropped the ball on this. I only just remembered to put it here. Sorry about that. But here it is: I think it looks amazing and I’m very hyped about it. I kinda wish this was coming out closer to Halloween but I guess Marvel didn’t want their wires crossed with Sony since Venom: The Last Dance comes out in October. Or maybe…

Ms. Marvel-ous!

Ms. Marvel (2022), created by Bisha K. Ali I’m not sure how this review is gonna go but go it must – this is it: my favorite! What happens on the show? Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) is an Avengers superfan. As such, the first-ever Avenger-con is a must! Unfortunately, Kamala is only 16 and her parents don’t support her skipping over to New York City to go to a ‘party.’ She sneaks out, has the…

Fractured

Moon Knight (2022) created by Doug Moench What happens on the show? Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) lives an uneventful life in London. He works in a gift shop at the National Art Gallery, has a goldfish, and reads up on Egyptian deities in his free time – of which he has a lot because he doesn’t want to fall asleep. When he falls asleep, he sometimes finds himself in odd places upon waking. Like…

A TVA Story

Loki (2021) created by Michael Waldron [as always with spoilers] It’s been just over a week since I finished the second season for the first time. I’m aware that I’m late to this but I didn’t really have any inclination to watch it – but for the fact that the TVA plays a role in Deadpool & Wolverine and I felt I needed to get up-to-date. And, of course, once I watched Loki, I thought it was a…

And we got a new trailer: To be perfectly honest, I seem to keep forgetting that there will be a third Venom this year. And that’s a little unfair because the Venom films seem to be keeping the Sony Spider-Verse alive (outside the actual Spider-Man movies they’re doing with Marvel and their animated movies, of course). But I like Venom and this trailer looks great. It’ll probably be more of…

X-Men Assemble

X-Men ’97, created by Beau DeMayo, Stan Lee, and Jack Kirby This show continues where X-Men (the animated series, 1992-1996) left off. To be honest, I didn’t really plan on watching this. I recently watched a couple of episodes of the old series and couldn’t get into it and thought I’d just table this one. But then, the mood hit me a couple of days ago and I thought: this should be fine on its…

Three's Company

The Marvels (2023) by Nia DaCosta It took me a while to get back here – lives to live, things to do (yes, this is an excuse) – but it wasn’t because I disliked this movie. I love this movie – unfortunately, that’s not how I feel about a lot of the Marvel franchise that’s come to us recently. Big sigh. I don’t wanna condemn everything and say: yeah, the Multiverse Saga sucks – because there was a…
