The Flash (2023) has finally come out after years of waiting. I wasn't too sure what to make of this movie because of the length of time that it took to come out. Usually these movies don't pan out too well when they're put on development hell. This movie definitely has its ups and downs.

A new season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is upon us and I couldn’t be more excited. I greatly enjoyed the first season of the show. Strange New Worlds harkens back to old-school Star Trek with its combination of self-contained episodic stories and season-long individual character arcs. My question going into this new season was if the infamous sophomore slump would cause a dip in quality for Strange New Worlds. I’m glad to say that is not the case here.
