Flight Risk Ending Explained
Mel Gibson's 2025 thriller Flight Risk ends with a significant plot surprise and a memorable character death. Gibson is back to helm his first motion picture since Hacksaw Ridge, which won an Oscar in 2013. With a 22% Rotten Tomatoes rating, Flight Risk isn't likely to win any Oscars, but it does have a number of twists and turns that make for some exciting scenes. In addition to four-time Emmy nominee Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) and That '70s Show alumnus Topher Grace, the cast of Flight Risk is remarkable and includes two-time Oscar contender Mark Wahlberg and his half-shaved head.

Anatomy of a Scene – ‘Family, Jimmy, Family’ (The Wire)
Sometimes, it takes a great work of fictional television to cause the viewer to do some soul searching themselves. ‘The Wire’ is not only an excellent crime drama and takes a critical lens to different facets of American society, but there are also multiple scenes that stand out for how they deliver truths to each of their characters for what they themselves are ignorant of or choose to forget. One of those scenes is short but whose succinctness of its message and point-blank delivery is something that you could do a deep analysis of. This scene that I’ve titled, ‘Family, Jimmy, Family’ feels like it’s not just about the character, Jimmy McNulty, one of the leading roles of the show and a deeply flawed one at that but also could reflect on our own lives and who we prioritize in them.

The camaraderie of hyper-capitalism vs anti-capitalism in Squid Season 2
Many people have been anxiously awaiting the second season of Squid Game, the most-watched show on Netflix. To win prizes in the first season, players had to compete in several lethal kid-friendly games. The upcoming season, which is also expected to break yet another Netflix record, delves deeper into the limitations and economic background of the surrealistic games. Green light, red light. When the song starts, move forward; when it ends, freeze. It's a fairly easy game. Or is it that moving after the music has stopped carries a death sentence? It was clear from the first season that Squid Game allegorizes the horrors of capitalism through kid-friendly games. Three years later, the second season of arguably the most significant television program of our time advances its adamantly anti-capitalist theme. It accomplishes this by exposing the illusion of "choice" in a system threatening to starve the great majority. In this article, I dive deeper into the dystopian nuances of capitalism and the illusion of choice that stir up scenarios very similar to reality.

Silo Timeline Explained
Although a lot of the plot of Apple TV+'s Silo has been kept a secret, the second season provides enough hints for viewers to put together a calendar of significant occasions. Seasons 1 and 2 of Silo, which are primarily based on Hugh Howey's first Silo novel, Wool, purposefully don't give away too much about the outside world and what happened to it before people were compelled to live inside the central silos. By delving into the past of another nearby silo and introducing a few new people, Season 2 expands on the overall lore.

David Lynch (January 20, 1946 - January 16, 2025)
“WHAT?” That was my reaction to the death of David Keith Lynch. I was at home on the one real day off I had this week between recovering from a very bad cold, teaching, prepping and cleaning up after the vacation that was time spent with my family. I was about to take the laundry out of the washer when I saw the message on Facebook that he had died and all I could think to say (or at least type) was one loud blurt from the heart. And it seems appropriate now that the person who put that notice up happened to be one of my former media students. She seemed to understand his importance not just to me, but to a host of us suburban weirdos who could see what was bubbling under the surface of all that brown and grey.
