Netflix takes us back to the Upside Down as our favorite teens are met with yet another monster that does not only threaten the residents of Hawkins but the human race itself. Stranger Things finally returns with its anticipated 4th season but this time in 2 volumes with episodes 1 through 7 are streaming now while 8 and 9 are left for July 1st, to amp up anticipation. Audiences may wonder why it was decided to split the episodes and it is most definitely because of their runtimes. Each episode runs for more than an hour. The shortest one happens to an hour and 3 minutes and it has been announced that the season finale, which is, unfortunately, a month from now, will run for 2 hours and 30 minutes.

The series focuses on the two alters being the avatar for the Egyptian moon god, Khonshu. Whenever the story involves Marc's secret that hinders his connection with his ex-wife or a villainous Ethan Hawke attempting to reawaken y

Here we are with the next chapter of Marvel’s Multiverse saga finally within arms reach in the form of a Doctor Strange sequel.  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is anticipated to not only be the box office movie to start off a strong summer movie blowout that was almost hindered by two years of a pandemic but is meant to be followed up and be the continuation of themes and stories that were heavily tackled in Spider-Man No Way Home and Disney + series like Loki and WandaVision . With a bunch of familiar faces and a fresh new one in the mix, this Strange follow-up promises to be as bonkers as stated in the title. The thing with Madness is that it does not feel or look like an MCU movie. Like  Eternals being a god-centric drama that showed off Chloe Zhao's directorial style, Madness most definitely feels like the horror movie made by Sam Raimi. It does also deliver the promise Kevin Feige made back at Comic-Con in 2019. As a horror outing, It can only mean that it fe
