Wonder’s trailer, similar to A Dog’s Purpose before that was released, has consistently made me bawl. So, to build up some strength before the movie, I got the book and while, as of page 43, my Puffs tissues remain untouched, I do feel like I’m being setup.

In order to enjoy Home Again, I want you to strip away the idea you need the usual drama we see in movies and TV. For what seems to be the pursuit in Home Again is showing weird and complicated relationships. Ones which, by the grace of some other worldly being, come into our lives…
Guilt and insecurities are the focus of this episode. Especially as people expose their soft under belly to those who can, or have, hurt them the most. More on that below.
The new version of Stephen King’s IT is deserving of a bit of praise. With it being a theatrical release, rather than TV miniseries, it is quite creepier. Also, the young actors are pushed beyond what the original kids were in terms of giving their character’s heart. Yet, there is the problem it disappoints as…
The Bold Type is the perfect mold between FreeForm’s primary focus and that of its former identity, ABC Family.

Despite the intrigue Shuu seemingly was going to present, in the end, we are still waiting for Yukari to make a decision. Notice or not.
Just as Janet’s professional life is just consistently reaching new highs, her personal life seems to remain at an all time low – in terms of Troy.
All the signs are there that people need to move on but, unfortunately, until the point is smeared into people’s faces on Insecure, the point doesn’t come across.
Episodes like this make me want to look up the definition of “filler.” For while we get to see and understand Chise’s point of view, only the tiniest of baby steps toward “Operation: Changeling” are noted.
… I’m glad I stuck it out with Knights & Magic but cannot forgive all that could have been done if they brought the Kingdom of Zaloudek in sooner.
Part 2 begins with Janet alone in New York, a bit frustrated, and maybe overpowered by this feeling of isolation, but what is greatness without a bit of adversity?
When I think of sci-fi shows appropriate for kids, all I can come up with are animated stories. Ones which usually star white kids and, at most, may feature a token person of color. Will vs. The Future changes that. It is both live action, starring an Asian (?) and a Black character trying to…
What nearly ends in a bunch of simple goodbyes leads to one completely unexpected. Thus shaking up the possibilities of how this anime may end.

There are some twists and unexpected turns in The Bold Type’s season 1 penultimate episode. The kind which definitely will make the wait for season 2 difficult.
During her interview with Janet Mock, Rowan Blanchard noted how Disney just wasn’t perhaps sure how to create entertainment for kids of this generation. Now, based off the I Am Frankie premiere, it seems Nickelodeon, which formerly had pretty decent live action shows, ranging from the 90s classics like All That to VicTORIous, may…
