"Laters Gators" Moon Knight Recaps: "The Goldfish Problem" & "Summon the Suit"

 Moon Knight

Moon Knight is a little bit of an obscure Marvel character that has risen to prominence in the comics over the past decade, so it wasn't a surprise when it was announced that he would be getting his own Disney Plus series. Moon Knight is sort of like Marvel's answer to Batman. If instead of being a trouble billionaire, Batman was a mercenary with multiple personalities. I think with such a complicated character a six episode series serves this character better than a two hour movie. Let's get into the first two episodes.

"Fuck Batman" Titans Recap: "Inside Man" & "Brother Blood"

 Titans

We have reached the end of the first half of the final fourth season of "Titans." Let's see where things end up before we take a little break. Let's go.

A Long Time Ago, During the Clone Wars: "Revival," "Eminence," "Shades of Reason" & "The Lawless"

 Star Wars The Clone Wars

We've been waiting and waiting and finally we are getting what we've been waiting for. It's the return of Darth Maul and Savage Oppress. And we return to Mandalore, just in time for the third season premiere of "The Mandalorian" next week. Let's get to it.

"In the Name of the Moon" Re-Watch: "Magic of Darkness: Esmeraude's Invasion" & "Shared Feelings: Usagi and Mamoru in Love Once Again"

 Sailor Moon R

Rubeus is gone and Esmeraude has taken his place. We've got pretty much the same stuff happening as when Rubeus was in charge, it's just in a prettier package. Let's get to it.

"Last Son" Re-Watch: "Little Girl Lost" Parts 1 & 2

 Superman the Animated Series

With this post, we've reached the end of season two of "Superman the Animated Series." We only have 13 episodes left. We are heading in to the end game. Let's get going.

"Big Shots" Re-Watch: "Pierrot Le Fou," "Boogie Woogie Feng Shui" & "Cowboy Funk"

 Cowboy Bebop

Before we dive in to the three episodes that we are covering in this post, a quick programming note. So, instead of doing regular episodes of "Cowboy Bebop," the next post will be covering the movie which takes place between episodes 22 and 23. I don't believe that the movie is available to stream anywhere, sadly, but I believe you can rent it on Amazon or iTunes if you haven't seen it or don't own it. Or you can just read my commentary. Anyway, let's get into it.

"The Truth Is Out There" Re-Watch: "Pusher" & "Teso Dos Bichos"

 The X-Files

I've said a million times that this season of "The X-Files" is the best season of the show. I stand by that, but I just want to remind everyone that when you're producing 22-24 episodes of television, not every one can be a winner. Let's get to it.

"We Used to Be Friends" Re-Watch: "Meet John Smith" & "The Wrath of Con"

 Veronica Mars

We have to talk about the "Veronica Mars" theme song. I love a good theme song and "We Used to Be Friends" by the Dandy Warhols is a classic. It fits the show perfectly. It's up there with the "Gilmore Girls" theme or "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." When I think of "Veronica Mars," one of the first things I think about is this theme. Let's get into it.

"SuperDad" Superman & Lois Recaps: "Tried and True" & "Anti-Hero"

 Superman & Lois

Things are really coming together on this season. One of the things I enjoy about "Superman & Lois" is that I'm never sure where things are going to and it keeps me on my toes. Let's get it into it!

"Hated and Feared" Re-Watch: "Sanctuary" Parts 1 & 2

 X-Men

Remember, Magneto? I feel like he hasn't been in an episode in forever, but we are getting a Magneto focused two parter. Let's go.

Re-Visiting the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Spider-Man: No Way Home

 "Spider-Man: No Way Home" (2021)

When the MCU made its triumphant return after its pandemic induced break in 2020, they decided to save the best for last. "Spider-Man: No Way Home" was a movie that was hyped by everyone. It felt like even if you weren't a Marvel devotee, you were stoked to see this movie. You'd heard about the surprise guests. You knew it was going to be a moment. A real cinematic moment that we hadn't experienced for a long time. Audiences showed up and showed out for this movie. When tickets went on sale, it crashed sites. This may sound hyperbolic, but I really feel like this movie is a cultural touchstone. A highlight of Phase 4 to be sure, but a highlight of the MCU as a whole... so far.

Principal photography on "Spider-Man: No Way Home" began in October 2020 and ended in March 2021. The film stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Zendaya as Michelle "MJ" Jones-Watson, Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Stephen Strange, Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds, Jamie Foxx as Max Dillon/Electro, Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn/Green Goblin, Alfred Molina as Doctor Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus, Benedict Wong as Wong, Tony Revolori as Eugene "Flash" Thompson, J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson, Marissa Tomei as May Parker, Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. The film was written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. It was directed by Jon Watts. "Spider-Man: No Way Home" premiered on December 17, 2021.
