Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 25 "On to the Next Target" marks the finale of the second season of this anime. Alas, it's a finale that begins and ends with curbstomp after curbstomp. Such things might be entertaining as an opening act, but by this point, it feels more
Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon is exactly what it says on the tin. It's literally just an anime film recapping most of the first season. Not even entirely the first season either. Oh well, at least we get a fun OVA starring Soshiro Hoshina tacked on at the end as a treat. Now if only the entire
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 24 "Are You the King of Humans" sets itself up as an epic clash between champions. However, it soon becomes apparent that the fight isn't even remotely a fair one. Spoilers: it's not Jin-woo. As a result, despite the setup and how good-looking
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 23 "It's Going to Get Even More Intense" is basically a chance for the side cast to get their moment of awesomeness. Alas, they get exactly one episode to be awesome, and it's not even the entire episode either. Near the end, they encounter
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 22 "We Need a Hero" tries to make up for the terrible plot of the previous episodes with action. As well as an attempt at story. It kind of succeeds in the latter, but at least there's enough of the former that you can switch your brain off
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 21 "It was All Worth It" is very peculiar in that it treats Jin-woo's actions throughout the episode as heroic or even comedic. However, even a cursory examination of what he actually does makes you gape at him in shock. From abandoning a key
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 20 "Looking Up Was Tiring Me Out" has a new female character be the focus of this episode. Alas, she's not really the focus of the story. Rather, her entire character seems built up to be a new satellite love interest character for Jin-woo.
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- Ep. 19 "The 10th S-Rank Hunter" gives Jin-woo three things in his life. The first is fame for his actions. The second is fortune from the random stuff he collected in his rise to power. The third is a boat-load of fear. Both from his enemies, and
At the end of last week's episode of The Pitt, we finally learned what happened to cause Westbridge to shut down. As PTMC preemptively secures itself from a possible cyberattack, the younger doctors and nurses get a trial by fire on how their superiors did their jobs "in the 1900s." With
The trailer for A24's The Drama does a great job of keeping things intentionally vague. We meet Charlie (Robert Pattinson) and Emma (Zendaya), a couple about to get married who seem like they know everything about each other… until they very clearly don’t. One drunken night at dinner with
Cultural phenomena like Elvis Presley simply don't come along very often. As a follow-up to his 2022 Elvis Biopic, energetic director Baz Luhrmann unearthed and restored never-before-seen footage of Presley, including 45 minutes of audio where he discussed his life and work, and made all of
