“A Killer Story” left us in the lurch last week by ending the episode with Eileen and Keen claiming to have known the real killer of Karen and Mike. Of course, the couple wholeheartedly believe in the innocence of Dana Chandler, whereas the narrator/presenter Joe Sexton is after the truth. That said, the Umbehr couple does have a case built on facts, and it wouldn't be wrong if I say they've certainly put more effort into this than the actual police. Episode 2, however, doesn't actually solve anything, and just ends up throwing another cliffhanger at us. Let us take a closer look.

Well, I guess I should take my words back now. I'm referring to my (rightful) criticism of the whole will they/won't they Roy and Keeley story arc throughout this season here. By

In his first standup special with Netflix, comedian Nimesh Patel starts with POTUS Donald Trump getting shot at Washington DC. That's the same city where Patel's standup, titled “Buy The Dip,” is hosted, and he couldn't be happier about it. He utters the word “hope” while mentioning the Trump incident, which clearly indicates where his political allegiance lies and sets the tone for the forty-five minute long special. A whole lot of it – well, all of it – is about politics, religion, and culture. And I bet it's gonna offend a lot of people, especially those who can't see beyond their own beliefs, or should I just call them right wingers (this is unrelated to football, by the way)?

Well, that was a shocker! Especially if you consider this is Ted Lasso , it's hard to believe our beloved Mae Green is gone.

They've done it. Yes, I'm talking about Ted Lasso , the fourth season of the show in particular, which, as a whole, was kind of a topsy turvy.

After an impressive maiden season run with all its quirks, scares, laughter and occasional tears, Netflix's “Haunted Hotel” has returned for its sophomore season, and from what they've given us over the course of eight episodes, I guess it's safe to say they have done it again. Like the first season, this one takes on the semi-anthology format, where each episode follows different subplots, with the same characters around. In this article, we'll take a closer look at all of those, and shed some light on how beautifully the season concludes. Needless to say, this is going to be spoiler-filled, so if you haven't watched the new season yet, consider yourself warned.

“Treasure Island” by Robert Louis Stevenson has to be one of the most popular books ever to exist. A lot of you, including yours truly, had the pleasure of reading it in your childhood, or at some point in life. That said, bringing the classic tale to the screen in 2026 was never going to be an easy task. And I can say with certainty that the puritans are not gonna like what MGM has done in the latest adaptation, which is more of a reimagining. From what I've seen in episode 1, I can tell the six-part miniseries is relying heavily on big names – Hayley Atwell, David Oyelowo, and Tomer Capone, whom you've seen as Frenchy in Amazon's “The Boys,” and a whole lot on unabashed campiness. It is not the “Treasure Island” that you read, but never for a minute you get bored; of course, that depends a lot on how cool you are with the tampering – or dare I say ruining?

“Treasure Island” continues to embrace the campiness that a lot of puritans (probably) found offensive and got irked by last week. While I don't mind what the makers are trying to do in the name of reimagining the IP, there's no point denying there's a severe lack of novelty. This is no Robert Louis Stevenson's “Treasure Island,” rather just another action-adventure show set in the past. That's not necessarily a criticism, rather an “it is what it is” kinda reality check. So anyway, if you're here, then I take it you're watching the show and interested in the episodic discussion, which is the main purpose of this article.

You name a movie “Surviving Hurricane Otis” and you make it pretty obvious what it's gonna be about. Otis was a devastating, category 5 hurricane that hit the city of Acapulco in October 2023, causing severe damage. Director Jorge Michel Grau's Netflix movie is based on that event, with a story about two half-brothers at the center of it. The narrative is fairly simple and straightforward, like how it usually goes in disaster movies. There is, however, a pretty solid twist at the climax, which is something you do see coming, but it still very much works in the favor of the movie. Another praiseworthy thing about “Surviving Hurricane Otis” is an attempt to keep things mostly grounded, and don't let the characters pull off unrealistic hero moves. Let's get into the discussion now.
