REVIEW: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – Episode 6 “One World, One People”
“One World, One People” is, if nothing else, the blissful end to this tedious chore of a series. It’s as obnoxiously preachy as you’d expect after last week, but it’s worse because it revels in its effectively admitted ignorance. Parts of it are good, though, and those parts frustrate beca...

Thunderbolts* is being touted as Marvel’s return to form after a few years in the wilderness, where, with a couple of exceptions, their films ranged from boring duds to unwatchable garbage. It’s not; it’s the same poorly written, unevenly paced, tension-devoid, charmless, weightless, laughles...
