Saturday “Welcome to the ship of the crazy” dear readers, we’ve made it to the finale of Everything Calls For Salvation! Episode 7 begins with Dani awakening to Mario’s voice echoing outside, calling him down. This is, of course, all a dream given we know Mario is in intensive care. Does Mario survive the fall? It’s Gianlu’s final day, and it seems there’s no more extensions for his stay now. The General arrives to see him off, as Gianlu leaves the place not with his flamboyant dress sense, but with a dull green top and a sad look....

A stunning work of art In an endless sea of superhero flicks, sequels, remakes and reboots, you can always count on A24 to deliver something fresh and original. The studio’s films don’t always work and at times they can be outright divisive. But that concept of being daring and trying new things is something the film industry has been lacking of late, especially given Disney’s monopolizing of the industry, leading to massive stagnation across the big screen....

The Lion’s Jaws Episode 8 of Extracurricular begins 1 year ago with Ji-Soo continuing to be tormented by bullies. They beat him down and take his money but Mr Lee arrives on a bike and saves him, beating down the bullies and returning to his cardboard box, which happens to hold his phone with the familiar Doggo logo on the front. Back in the present, Gyuri walks away purposefully while Ji-Soo collects up his taser and switches phones before heading into the hospital to visit Mr Lee....

If I Were A Whale Episode 6 of Extraordinary Attorney Woo starts with us in the past as Hyang-Sim takes her daughter Ha-Yun to the orphanage. She promises to be back for her little girl, urging the lady in charge that she’s not abandoning her. It turns out she’s a North Korean defector and is doing this to protect her daughter. She’s regretful but puts on a brave face as she walks away....

Fall Fatma episode 6 begins with the Author meeting two prospective publishers, Su and Faruk. They’re excited about working with him and claim his first story was groundbreaking. This second transformational story regarding Fatma however, has them concerned. The publishers aren’t sure whether people will connect to this or not. Bayram shows up and sits in Mine’s car. Officers show up though and arrest him, just as Bayram looks at her and calls Fatma a killer....

For All Mankind Season 3 Episode 8 Season 3 of For All Mankind starts in 1992, almost 10 years after the events of season 2. The space program has only grown larger and more powerful in that time, with Karen Baldwin now a pioneer in the space tourism industry. Ellen Wilson has left NASA and pursued a career in politics. Her trajectory has sky-rocketed after the discovery of an element called Helium-3 on the moon....

Cartharsis Episode 7 of Freud begins with Sophia and Viktor looking over details from the fire, regretful over the events that took place in this tragedy. Viktor tells her Fleur is just a weapon and repeats the word “revenge” to her. Freud watches over Fleur until the Professor arrives, prompting him to hide out in the haunted apartment. Inside, Fleur starts hallucinating, seeing a man playing the piano. As she starts screaming, Freud grabs her mouth and stops her from making a noise while the Professor quizzes Lenore....

After finding his murdered body she decides to remain in town to both investigate his death and to learn more about the childhood that she barely remembers. For the first 30 minutes or so, the movie is reasonably enjoyable. The townsfolk clearly have things to hide, including the town sheriff (Mickey Rourke), and the town that Thorne wanders around in is suitably bleak and dusty. The movie has a quirky sense of humour too, as evidenced by the rodent that randomly rolls by in a hamster ball when Thorne is exploring the exterior of her late father’s home....

The Silent Method After last week’s filler episode, Grey’s Anatomy returns with an interesting chapter with the medical drama we are used to returning while still giving all its main characters some good development. The show is still not back to what it used to be but remains enjoyable nonetheless. Episode 13 of Grey’s Anatomy begins with us seeing Meredith and Deluca have spent the night together while Bailey discusses her foster patient with Ben....

He Doesn’t Love You The Batman Animated Series from the 90’s is one of my favourite Batman adaptations. When I saw the trailer to Harley Quinn last week I remained sceptical over whether this show could pull off the edginess in a way that didn’t feel forced. After all, comedy is subjective and at times it can be difficult for a show like this to stand out without feeling like contrived or leaning too heavily into its cursing and violence....

What is Ancient Apocalypse about? Ancient Apocalypse is one of those shows that feels like it should be shown on the History channel at 2am, when you wander back home completely drunk from a crazy night out, and throw something on while demolishing a kebab. Not speaking from personal experience of course! Across the 8 episodes, Hancock and his team jet across the world to various different heritage locations, pointing out and highlighting potential evidence of ancient civilizations that have been around since before our hunter-gatherer ancestors, showcasing ancient civilizations that were here way before them....

Renewed Or Cancelled? Resident Evil is the latest attempt to adapt the videogame of the same name. Expect less horror and more teen drama and clones. If you’ve finished watching this one, you may be wondering if this one’s been renewed or cancelled. Well, read ahead and we’ll let you know what we know so far about a renewal! What is Resident Evil about? “Not Resident Evil” would probably be the easiest jab to make at this show....

What is The Sandman about? For those unaware of what The Sandman is, the title refers to the King of Dreams himself, Dream. He goes by many names, including Morpheus and Lord of Dreaming. The story begin with Dream captured and held prisoner by an occult for 70 years. Unfortunately in doing so, many people fall victim to a sleeping virus and can’t wake up. When Dream does inevitably escape, he sets out to get his possessions back, avenging himself against his captors and rebuilding his Kingdom....

Renewed Or Cancelled? Vampire in the Garden is the latest anime on Netflix, split across five episodes and blending sci-fi, action and fantasy together. With a rather short run-time and a pretty impactful story, if you’ve been following this you may be wondering if this one’s been renewed or cancelled. What is Vampire in the Garden Season 1 about? Vampire in the Garden jets us off to a world where humans and vampires are embroiled in a bitter war....

The Sheriff Episode 7 of Heartbreak High picks up where we left off. Amerie is being questioned by two female officers about the nature of her relationship with Teacher Jojo (In this episode review, I will be using her last name Miss Obah to refer to her. It is how they addressed her in this episode). Amerie denies any sexual relationship with her teacher and thinks someone is playing with her....

The Enchanted Sleeper Episode 1 of His Dark Materials Season 3 starts with us being reminded that for many millennia, the Authority has ruled the Kingdom of Heaven. He named himself the Creator; the Almighty. However, this guy is a pretender, a ruler that operates with a dark angel by his side. Those who fought for truth were cast out the gate and since then, the angels have been living between worlds, watching and waiting for vengeance....

Episode Guide Abraham Lincoln Freddie Mercury Anne Frank Martin Luther King Jr. Cleopatra Muhammad Ali Historical Roasts is the TV equivalent of dipping cheese and onion crisps in banana yoghurt. Almost everyone will take offence, find little to like and screw their nose up at the very thought. Yet there will be people who enjoy this. Perhaps watching Robin Williams and Frankie Boyle last night on YouTube was a bad move before watching this....

This is one home team you won’t be rooting for! The world isn’t short of sport underdog movies. Cool Runnings, The Bad News Bears, and Rudy are just some of those that spring to mind but there are many others. Most recently, another in the genre cropped up on Netflix, but can this underdog rise above the movie giants on the cinematic playing field? In a word, no! Home Team is not very good at all, despite a talented cast of young players, so this is one movie that you won’t be rooting for when it comes to award ceremonies (not that it’s likely to be nominated for anything other than a Razzie)....

The Singing Contest Episode 40 of Homemade Love Story starts where we left off with Chae-Woon fainting. Pil-Hong happens to be there too and quickly rushes her over to the ER. The doctors think that she may have overworked herself but she will be fine. Pil-Hong tries ringing Jung-Wong but she doesn’t answer. He then calls Jae-Hee to let him know. Jung-Won receives a text from Pil-Hong about Chae-Woon but he reassures her that she is fine....

A solid sequel to Guerrilla’s open-world gem Guerrilla Games sure know when to release their games. When Horizon Zero Dawn dropped back in 2017, it brought a uniquely placed open world game onto consoles. With an interesting setting, amazing lore and some rock solid gameplay, Zero Dawn felt like a breath of fresh air. Until, of course, that other breath came along and overshadowed Playstation’s original. Yes, Breath of the Wild dropped several weeks after and took the world by storm, leaving Guerrilla Games’ title in the proverbial dust....
