Barry wasn’t always confident (in fact, he rarely is — and when heishe’s usually wrong), Iris played a bigger roll than she’s been given credit for, and Eobard Thawne was in fact responsible for the murder of Nora Allen....

That said, we still had plenty of movies come out in what will undeniably be remembered as the Worst Year Ever, and while plenty of those movies were unassailable triumphs, there were an equal number of others that accidentally delivered some of the most absurd moments in cinema history....

The White Lotusis one of the best shows I’ve seen this year and while it was, indeed, a six-part limited series, HBO just announced that it’ll be bringing back the show – or at least the title – for Season 2.

Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesshas one huge thing going for it: three female characters play vital roles in the story and plot: America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), and Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams). The characterization of those women, however, is not much of a triumph—they fall into the categories of the damsel in distress, the evil witch, and the love interest....
