REVIEW: Nobody (2021)
When I first saw the trailer for Nobody, I thought it looked exactly like John Wick if his wife hadn’t died. A former killer pretending to be a regular guy gets sucked back into the life and all that. I’m also not overly familiar with Connie Nielsen or Bob Odenkirk, having only seen the...

The condescendingly titled “Truth” (which, since no big answers to anything are revealed, can only mean “We’re about to lay some truth on you”) is the episode where The Falcon and the Winter Soldier goes all-in on identity politics and makes Captain America all about race. People who want ...
