The film is a smart and playful idea, similar in spirit to the mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap and the experimental film I’m Still Here, which it actually nods to. Charli XCX plays a version of herself, openly satirizing the absurdity of fame and her own part in it. While it doesn’t offer a harsh self-critique, the movie honestly explores the difficult balance of suddenly managing a huge, corporate system that often prioritizes profit over artistic integrity – even if that means sacrificing quality, treating fans like customers, and enabling problematic behavior. The film asks if Charli’s current, vibrant persona can last, if it should last, and if she has the power – and the desire – to ultimately change direction.
While the Harry Potter series may feel familiar and bring back fond memories for many, it’s worth exploring other fantastic fantasy novels. There are plenty of excellent books, including those with magical school settings, that were actually published before the Harry Potter books, and it’s becoming harder to ignore the issues surrounding the author. It’s a good time to discover new worlds and authors in the fantasy genre.
I just got a look at the premise of this new game, and it’s really compelling. It centers around Kratos and his son, Atreus, as they travel together to scatter the ashes of their loved one, Faye. But it’s more than just a journey; it’s about a father trying to shape his son into a worthy god, and a son trying to help his father reconnect with his humanity. It sounds like a really powerful dynamic, and I’m already invested in seeing how their relationship unfolds.
Earlier in the season, we learn that Steph Harper (Annabel O’Hagan) has a Canadian passport – specifically, one from a region formerly part of Canada now under U.S. control – a secret discovered by Chet (Dave Register). The episode begins with a flashback showing how Steph first arrived at the Vault, including a reference to the Canadian national anthem.

From the start, Wonder Man sets itself apart from other Marvel shows. Instead of following a hero learning the ropes, the first season focuses on Simon Williams trying to land a big acting job – specifically, the role of his idol, Wonder Man. While Trevor seems to be helping Simon, it’s revealed he’s secretly working with the Department of Damage Control to monitor Simon and stay out of prison. The situation gets even more complicated when Simon demonstrates some powerful and potentially dangerous abilities, which is exactly why Trevor was sent to watch him in the first place.

It’s really taking the world by storm, and I can’t wait to see where it goes next!
