In episode 5 “Night,” Qimir (Jacinto) is revealed to be the Stranger, and what we all were gifted with was a lot of arms—arms killing, arms flexing … arms. It broke us. So many of us could not stop talking about arms, and the entire internet had to have a “come to Jesus” moment about Jason Mendoza from The Good Place. (Not me, I was already there, but I guess I’m different.)

The sequel to Pixar’s incredible 2015 film, Inside Out, Inside Out 2 has audiences flocking to the cinema to see how Joy and the gang handle Riley becoming a teenager. Inside Out 2 continues where its predecessor left off, looking at the inner workings of Riley’s mind. In the first film, Riley is a child trying to overcome a huge shift in her life, a shift that leaves her feeling like she has no control over the future. It taught us that sometimes, sadness is a necessary emotion that we need to allow ourselves to feel. The first film was widely praised by critics, audiences, and therapists around the world, so when a sequel was announced, we were ready to jump in.

We love movies about our history, war, and days like the Fourth of July, but some movies just stand apart from the rest. You wouldn’t really try to watch Lincoln on July 4, would you? Some movies really feel like they were made to be watched on this holiday, in particular, and others decidedly weren’t.

What happened to Marcus in The Bear Season 2?

Marcus Brooks starts The Bear season 2 with big dreams. He wants to be the Julia Child of pastry chefs but with less butter involved. If only his ailing mother was a little less ailing. Then he could devote all his attention to his craft rather than worry about her. Thankfully, he dips on her and galavants over to Copenhagen, where he is trained by pastry guru Luca (Will Poulter). Luca gives Marcus some pastry tricks and a few life lessons along the way. “Don’t be the greatest, but just the best you can be,” is the gist of it.

There have been layoffs after layoffs after layoffs in the games industry, with the worst offenders being mega-companies like Microsoft, who buy smaller studios and scrap them for a tax write-off. We’re talking over 10,000 jobs worldwide just this year.

Written by Eiichiro Oda, One Piece is one of the longest-running manga in existence, having been published since 1997. It is the best-selling manga of all time and, along with the anime adaption of the same name, is closely followed by fans. The only issue with having such a long-running story that is still ongoing is that it can seem a little daunting to take on as a newcomer. That’s where The One Piece remake comes in.

What is a Burger Dog?

Burger Dog is not actually the result of dog-on-dog cannibalism, despite what the name would have you believe. Burger Dog is not even a food whatsoever. Burger Dog is a person. A musical artist, to be specific. Burger Dog also just so happens to be the title of the very first Bluey minisode.

Many of Trevaldwyn’s fans were aware that he would make an appearance in the show, as he posted images from the show’s red carpet premiere on Instagram. However, he did not disclose whom he would be portraying in the show. Before appearing in The Acolyte, Trevaldwyn boasted a role in The Bubble and made guest appearances in shows like The Outlaws and Smothered. He gained even more recognition when it was announced that he would portray Tuffnut in the live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie, slated to release next year.

But the biggest enemy of House Targaryen has always been their need to be secretive and keep up pretenses, which leads to miscommunication. It screwed them over during the Dance of the Dragons, ending their reign over the Seven Kingdoms that Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters so painstakingly brought with fire and blood. And as if that wasn’t a lesson enough, they continued to let Aegon’s dream and their pretenses ruin them a second time, losing them the Iron Throne and almost ending their line!

The parallels between Hong Hae-in and Go Mi-ho announcing their terminal illnesses during press conferences have been eerily similar. Those who’ve watched both dramas will also notice how similar Hyun-woo’s reaction is to Chang-ho’s once his wife made her condition public. Both scenarios had been heartbreaking to hear, even for those in front of their streaming devices.

Dexter premiered on October 1, 2006, and wrapped up its original run on September 22, 2013. The eighth season was not particularly popular among fans, especially because Dexter’s sister Debra Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter) spends the season in a downward spiral that, unfortunately for her, doesn’t end until she hits rock bottom. By the end of the series, Debra meets a rather inauspicious demise, but how … and who done it?

]]> Yusei Matsui (Assassination Classroom) takes us to Japan in 1333 with his upcoming anime adaptation, The Elusive Samurai. Following the Siege of Kamakura, the Hojo Clan was left in shambles. Luckily for them, their heir, Hojo Tokiyuki, is extremely difficult to kill.

Hence the title of the manga and anime, The Elusive Samurai. Tokiyuki has the uncanny ability to squirm away from the jaws of death. It’s an extremely lucky skill to have, and one that he might be able to use to reclaim his rightful throne. CloverWorks is revealed to be responsible for adapting this manga to an animated series.

]]> Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi, Adria Arjona’s Bax Caleen, Oscar Isaac’s Poe Dameron … Star Wars has always been comprised of certified hotties, and The Acolyte is no different. But the latest episode might just be its steamiest yet, and fans are absolutely living for it.

Like it or not, Star Wars is, at its core, about love. Yes, X-wings and TIE fighters aside, George Lucas’ original vision for the franchise resembles something closer to a soap opera than a sci-fi epic, with Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) and Padmé Amidala’s (Natalie Portman) forbidden romance being a central focus of the prequel trilogy. And with love comes, well … “Hey, point that thing somewhere else!”
