The opening of Pixar’s Soul serves as a great metaphor for the movie as a whole.
In the first scene, we’re introduced to a black musician named Joe Gardener, voiced by Jamie Foxx. As he teaches a class of young students, we discover he has a deep passion for jazz. Joe beautifully demonstrates his talents in a scene packed with stunning visuals and excellent sound design. His students, on the other hand, are less sure of themselves and sometimes play off-key. Although they want to handle their instruments better, they don’t quite have the hang of it yet. Ultimately the scene represents what Soul is—a movie that has plenty of passion and beauty, but misses a few notes along the way.

If you’re putting out milk and cookies for Santa, make sure you leave a coin for your Witcher, too.

The Arrowverse is about to say goodbye to its most electrifying superhero. According to Deadline, Black Lightning will end after its upcoming fourth season. Although this news is surprising, a few recent CW-verse announcements might explain why the show is coming to a close.
If you were craving a tv show about a vigilante that strikes in the night that isn’t one of 104-shows-and-counting set in Gotham, you’re in luck! According to Variety, the Darkwing Duck animated series is getting a second life on Disney Plus.

Over the last decade, a wide variety of live-action Marvel superhero shows have been released… and I’ve watched every single one of them (well, all except for Powers—a PlayStation network show. If you’ve ever actually seen it, please let me know where it should go on this list).

Black Lightning has never been afraid to tackle current issues. For three seasons, the show has consistently carved out time in its story about a Black superhero coming out of retirement to shed a light on tensions and struggles that may affect the viewer in a very real way. Although I recognized that the show has been doing an exceptional job of examining society as it is, I never expected it would predict what the world would become.
But that’s what happened in season 3. The audience saw characters tackling problems and challenges that would affect the real world only a few months after episodes aired. And while the show’s startlingly accurate predictions are impressive, the writers also gave us suggestions about how to confront these issues. Their prescriptive solutions ensure that Black Lightning season 3 does more than paint a grim portrait of where we are today—it shines a light on the path we can take to move forward.
