The leaves are changing colors, there’s a crispness in the air, and horror movies are just everywhere.

Wakanda, Maybe Not Forever Marvel Studios Here’s a shot of Black Panther in what appears to be the palace of Wakanda. I think this might be the Erik Killmonger version of Black Panther that we haven’t seen in the show yet, but is likely debuting in this week’s episode (based on the poster that was released yesterday). Things don’t look so great for Wakanda, since the windows of the palace have been shattered and there appears to be military helicopters flying around outside....

This week things get hairy as we go digging for some underseen werewolf gems!) There are seemingly thousands of movies about vampires and zombies, but for some reason the werewolf doesn’t quite warrant the same degree of ubiquity....

West Side Story Behind-The-Scenes Featurette I am perpetually more and more excited for this film, and this featurette only amplifies the sensation. The moment it was announced, I was apprehensive. “West Side Story” is very precious to me, for reasons I’ll get into in a bit. It’s very precious to a lot of people for many different reasons.
