Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 12 "Real Life, Fantasy, and the Fourth World" ends the season with a bookend, bringing the circle to a close with a scene not unlike the scenes in the first episode. Even the title lampshades it. Then suddenly, it pulls the rug out from under us, and gives us a lovely
Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 11 "Imagination and Counters" is a series of emergencies one right after the other. All involving some psychic shenanigans of epic proportions. It looks very much like our salaryman and his pet bird from another world won't be getting rest for quite some time. Sasaki and
Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 10 "Value and Dignity" gives us the most political thriller episode of this anime to date. What else do you call it when basically the entire episode consists of tense negotiations? Negotiations that Sasaki both expects...and not. Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 10 "Value and
Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 9 "Executions and Negotiations" gives us a political thriller and economics thriller all in a single episode. We even get some isekai hijinks in the bargain. All in all, this is a perfect episode in terms of story, and certainly not one you would expect from a comedy

Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 5 "A Magical Man and a Third World" starts off with a relatively straightforward plotline. That plotline quickly devolves into what I can only describe as a Standoff of magical proportions. Wow, Sasaki's job just keeps getting harder and harder. Sasaki and Peeps Ep. 5
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
