While last year’s Captain America: Civil War pitted the Avengers against each other in a battle of right vs. also right, there were a couple of members missing from the fray. Bruce Banner/Hulk’s absence is easily explained by his tendency to go into hiding after major skirmishes, but where was Thor (Chris Hemsworth)? Marvel subsequently released a YouTube video, titled “Team Thor,” in which Thor explains he’s taking a break from being a superhero and living a “normal” life in Australia with his roommate, Darryl — also, he wasn’t asked to join either side of the conflict. In conjunction with the release of Doctor Strange on Blu-ray, Marvel checks in with Thor and Darryl who are having a bit of a disagreement over the rent in “Team Thor: Pt. 2, Where Are They Now?.”

It’s con/festival/camping/theme park season, which means it’s time to talk about portable chargers. While most modern phones can easily hold a charge for a full day, that may not be enough during these events. Throughout a festival or trip to a theme park, you may find yourself browsing or uploading to social media more frequently or playing Candy Crush as you wait for lines to let in to the attraction (or bathroom). While camping, your outlet access may be limited and watching downloaded content from Netflix or reading an e-book during your much deserved downtime is going to be draining on your battery. Of course, if you’re a hardcore convention goer, it could be more than 24 hours before you even see your expensive hotel room again and shoddy reception, picture-taking, video recording and minimizing the boredom of endless queues means you’re definitely going to need a boost before you have access to an outlet — because who really wants to be tied to that one spot on the wall with a plug when their battery finally reaches critical.
Upcoming horror television series builds on film icon’s reputation, exploring hidden fears and social anxieties.
The definition of “family-friendly programming” was different a few decades ago. We thought Looney Tunes was great entertainment for kids (when’s the last time you saw someone get flattened with a mallet on Saturday morning?) and didn’t have a problem with shows that objectified people’s bodies coming on at any time of the day. Of course the networks still received complaints from far-right conservatives, but the majority of audiences and executives didn’t see the problem. Things have changed a lot since then, but that’s emboldened some big screen revivals of small screen hits to push the boundaries even more than the originals. One of the most anticipated of these re-imaginings is the Baywatch movie.
