Getting right into it, Spider-Man: Brand New Day also gets right into it. The film drops you a bit after we left Peter Parker off in Spider-Man: No Way Home. No one remembers him, he's the neighborhood hero again. But something is bothering him, something is changing him. Tom Holland continues to
Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia finally involves Sitara in the beginnings of some courtly intrigue in Ep. 4 "Otchigin". It's quite reminiscent of The Apothecary Diaries, which has a similar premise. This anime too now promises some deadly political thriller similar to Maomao's adventures in the rear
Daemons of the Shadow Realm has the ambushers learn about becoming the ambushed in Ep. 15 "Yuru and Danji". All after some fairly serious family drama between the titular Yuru and his best friend / brother figure Danji. Fortunately, it seems that they still have some sort of bond with each other

Daemons of the Shadow Realm gives us some truly fateful meetings between old friends (and family) and new in Ep. 14 "Family and Friends". All complete with some dark secrets spilling forth out of the shadows, and Yuru's bond with his old friends and family being tested quite a bit. All in all, I

Have you ever considered the similarities between the landmark 1978 slasher Halloween and 1982’s First Blood? In both films, a man of few words arrives in a small town that treats him like the bogeyman, and when circumstances escalate to the point of murder, a specialist who’s highly familiar
Daemons of the Shadow Realm slows down the plot just a bit to plan things out in Ep. 21 "Zashiki-Warashi and Higashi Village". First to let Danji and Kiri the Zashiki-Warashi daemons give Yuru and Asa some important backstory to explain the past of Higashi Village. Then to let the twin siblings to
Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia gives us a true puppetmistress in the form of Boraqchin in Ep. 11 "An Ungraceful Stone". This episode has shown her to be a master planner and manipulator, making her quite the political genius. However, this episode also reveals that the people she's puppeting don't
