Waking up to the news that Roku and YouTube TV are duking it out is especially frustrating when YouTube TV is how I watch TV. It’s frustrating because this isn’t the first time they’ve done this.

When the last award of the night was announced this evening, viewers were stunned to learn Anthony Hopkins beat Chadwick Boseman.

The biggest day for movie lovers is finally here as the 93rd Oscars telecast finally gets underway and the Academy Awards winners are known. If you ask me, there was no reason to delay the eligibility deadline by two months. However, it is what it is.

The first or possibly only season of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier has now come to an end while fans await the arrival of Loki. One mystery from last week gets a quick resolution. It turns out that the the box that Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) got is none other than Sam Wilson’s (Anthony Mackie) new Captain America suit. I’m glad to see this finally happen but I certainly thought it would take place…

Honeymood, which premiered last year, is a hysterical Israeli comedy that is currently playing the Jewish and Israeli film festival circuit. We all know what happens in a romantic comedy: Couple meets, breaks up, and gets back together by the end of the film. Honeymood starts right after the happy ending. Surprisingly, this film plays along some of those similar beats! When you see so many of these films, you have somewhat of an idea…
