Episode Guide Paw of the Jaguar Goat Cheese Prophecy Ballad of Brunchington Beach Catch a Deathstalker Fun Gus Part I Fun Gus Part II Benson & the Beast Sympathy for the Mandrill All That Glitters Heroes On Fire One of the bigger surprises last year in the world of animation came from Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. Armed with an interesting world, some gorgeous hand-drawn animation and a really engrossing story, the first 10 episodes did an excellent job setting the mood and establishing this hostile world....

The Star Witness Episode 8 of Law School begins in court, with Seung-Jae arriving fashionably late to court. Given he was there the day of Seo’s death, he could shed light on what happened.

Next up is Man-Ho, who takes to the witness stand and mentions what happened the day of the incident....

Why Pink Is The New Black In early January, Mindy Kaling set film Twitter buzzing when she told Access that Legally Blonde 3 will start filming this year. The writer was tight lipped on plot points but did confirm the return of star Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Coolidge as Paulette “bend and snap” Bonafonte. What is it about Legally Blonde that has audiences excited twenty years after its 2001 premier? Is it the volume of endlessly quotable one-liners?...

A Nigerian Netflix Original Caught Between Two Genres Nigerian Netflix Original Lionheart can’t quite decide what sort of film it wants to be. There’s some themes around feminism, equality and family values here but none of them are really fleshed out enough to hit home as hard as they should. There’s tiny snippets of humour but not enough to be classed as a comedy while the dramatic moments aren’t all that hard hitting....

With a neon-lit canvas to play with, this 6 episode drama feels much more lethargic and slow-paced than it should....

Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) Season 3 Episode 14 Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) is a makjang in every sense of word but devoid of much drama.

All three men are cheating on their respective partners. After breaking up and making peace with what’s happened, this rabble of characters find themselves faced with life, love, loss and ghost Ki-Rim kicking about too....

Avengers Disassemble Marvel: Avengers is a really impressive game for all the wrong reasons. Armed with the Marvel license and hundreds of possibilities, Crystal Dynamics squanders all of that to create a vapid, boring, uninspiring live service game that’s so overwhelmingly bland it’s no surprise the game is leaking players. What’s most disappointing about Avengers though is just how much potential this game actually has. This was very obviously a single player-focused title at one point, with a direct narrative, an intriguing set-up and lots of room to grow....

A pretentious, farcical movie with very little substance Creepy, atmospheric and outright weird, somewhere in Men is a good film. Unfortunately, the movie’s over-simplified themes, bludgeoned repeatedly to the point of becoming farcical, make this an arthouse picture that becomes more of a chore to sit through than it should be. Written and Directed by Alex Garland, Men’s plot is super simple as Harper (Jessie Vuckley) heads to the countryside to get away from the ghosts of her past....

That was my initial reaction when seeing early promos for this movie. My tolerance for heavy metal music is about the same as my tolerance for bagpipes…extremely low! Having seen countless movies about music groups going up against each other, I had no urge to see another one. And another movie that included a teen romance? No thank you! However, my attitude changed when I learned that Game of Thrones co-creator D....

Au revoir, le double dong Episode 2 of Minx starts with an absolutely hilarious opening. Bambi is about to film a scene involving spanking a naughty schoolgirl (played by Staci) but she ends up creating a whole scenario for how unfair it is. Joyce’s feminist message is starting to empower the women, and this whole scene is such a wonderful way of depicting the changing values and ideas these women have....

Ammit’s Tomb Episode 2 of Moon Knight begins with Steven waking up back in his room, far away from the drama in the bathroom that ended last week’s chapter. Steven eventually trundles back to join JB (the security guard who keeps calling him Scotty) at the museum. Together, they look over the security footage. Interestingly, there’s no jackal in sight and the footage shows Steven running around the museum like a headless chicken....
