Around the World in 80 Days (2021-2022)
From the very start of this show, the music lets you know that this is going to be a glorious romp around the world. In addition, the use of the sound of a ticking clock in several scenes, added to the notion that not only is time ticking away on the bet, but that Phileas’ very life has been ticking away too.
DetailsThe Book of Boba Fett
Overall, this episode was very disappointing in a lot of ways. The idea of the story itself seems to be very interesting but doesn’t reflect well on screen. Hopefully, the next episode will improve and redeem itself, but the bounty is still out on that.

The first few weeks of the year are traditionally slow for home video, and this week is no different, offering up just a couple of titles: a few horror flicks, a couple of British TV series, and some baseball to hold you over until Spring training.
DetailsDoctor Who
With the past episodes having such high stakes, it was nice to get a more fun, lighthearted romp showcasing what Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor does best. With a kind of manic wit and adventurous spirit, the Doctor runs around trying to make sure everyone survives, and for the most part, succeeds.
DetailsFirebite
Firebite is as much a biting criticism of white colonialism (pun intended) and the evils of racism, as it is about hunting blood suckers.
DetailsStation Eleven
We don’t really see the riots; we don’t see a lot of people dying. We see crowds at hospitals, and we hear the news on television talking about it. But the episode was really all about introducing the two main characters. Jeevan and Kirstin.
DetailsThe Book Of Boba Fett
Showrunners @Jon_Favreau and @Dave_Filoni have taken the unexplored story of Boba Fett and made this writer invested in the new adventures and fate of the infamous bounty-hunter-turned-crime-lord. #StarWars
DetailsThe Witcher: Season 2
The story has love, laughter, magic, action and tones of swordplay and battles with monsters. The dialogue is clever and well written and the music adds to the tone of each scene, doing what music is supposed to do and enhance the action and performances of the series.
DetailsHawkeye
This episode is one of the best episodes we could ask for character development and resolutions. Although it may have some elements that no everyone will be happy with, Hawkeye will be known as one of the best shows that Marvel has ever produced.
Details
Bond is back, baby! (Oh yeah, and a bunch of other films, too.) One quick note, there are a couple of releases included this week that don’t street until December 28th (I’ve marked them accordingly) as there will be no new column next week. Enjoy!
DetailsHawkeye
If you haven’t watched Hawkeye yet, episode 5 “Ronin” will make you wish you’ve been watching all along with its big reveals that lead up to the final episode!
Details
While there aren’t any out-and-out HUGE releases this week, there are a number of interesting releases that are worth checking out. Take a look!
