Though its source material is over 20 years old, “Invincible” is exactly the type of comic book show people need right now. Hot off a riveting second season, it doesn’t let up in its third outing. Mark Grayson/Invincible (Steven Yeun) is still scarred by his encounter with his father Nolan/Omni Man (J.K. Simmons), whom he reconciled with last season. Having almost been defeated by the multivere-traversing Angstrom Levy (Sterling K.

In 2022, I started watching “One Piece.” Now, I’m finally at Wano. I’ve been providing updates on this blog and on TikTok throughout my journey. Here is yet another compilation of my TikToks. What if Usopp didn’t rejoin the crew at Water 7?

Psychics and murder. What more could you want? “Deadly Fate” by Angela Marsons explores just that. The 18th book in the DI Kim Stone series follows the titular Stone as she investigates the death of psychic Sandra Deakin — the outcome of which no medium gazing into a crystal ball can predict. Deakin has been found mutilated in the graveyard of a local church, and it is abundantly clear that whoever did this for her hated her.

Unless the Supreme Court stops it, TikTok will be banned in the United States on Jan. 19. What does that mean for this website? 2024 was a strange year for InReview. In many ways, it felt like one of transition. Because of many factors, we published the least amount of content here in years, which resulted in a dip in traffic. However, we’ve also had great success on TikTok, where our content has reached over 100,000 people this year.

“Arcane” Season 1 was one of my favorite animated shows. I’m not a “League of Legends” fan (the game the series is based on), but you don’t need to be to get completely engrossed in this world and its rich characters. Set in the fantasy land of Runeterra, Season 2 continues the struggle between the technologically advanced and upper class city of Piltover, and its subterranean slums referred to as the Undercity, which hopes to become its own nation (Zaun).

Have you every wondered what goes on behind closed doors when a new pope is selected? Director Edward Berger’s “Conclave” has got you covered. The film portrays a fictional papal conclave of the College of Cardinals led by dean Cardinal Thomas Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes). During the conclave, cardinals are sequestered in the Vatican, and the outside world only knows if a pope has been elected if the color of smoke emanating from a chimney is white.

I love “The Penguin.” I also hate it. After seven episodes of masterful manipulation that led to countless deaths, Oswald Cobb (Colin Farrell) is very close to achieving his dream of running Gotham’s criminal underground in Episode 8. But it also comes with a devastating price. This episode feels like three in one because of everything that’s packed into it. We start with Oz’s mother, Francis, still captured by Sophia Gigante (formerly Falcone, and played by Cristin Milioti).

Domestic abuse is a really difficult subject to tackle in a wide release theatrical film. Tone is key — something too lighthearted will understandably be panned for not taking its subject matter seriously, while something too over-the-top can be seen as insulting to survivors. “It Ends with Us” strikes a good balance. The film follow Lily Bloom (Blake Lively) as a young woman starting fresh in Boston, where she is trying to open a flower shop.
