Netflix’s ‘Afterlife of the Party’ is Unexpectedly Emotional and Warm
Netflix’s Afterlife of the Party is surprisingly emotional, proving that whatever you think staring at its poster, it will be the polar opposite. I’m not entirely sure what I expected walking into the film, but I most certainly was not expecting to cry more than once. Afterlife of the Party starring Victoria Justice, Midori Francis, Robin Scott, Adam Garcia, and more follows party animal Cassie (Justice) in her attempt to make matters right before ascending to a higher position in the afterlife. So yes, spoiler alert, if it was not obvious by the title, she dies early on in the

At its core, this might just be the most hopeful scene in the entirety of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For a moment, while we didn’t know what would come next, we had hope that everything would be okay again. The heroes had

The Casual Intimacy in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Trailer
It’s here (and as are the 100s of articles talking about it). Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer is officially out. For starters, at the very least, all of our Twitter timelines could stop begging Marvel and Sony to drop the trailer. We could all collectively breathe for a second. Except, now we’re all likely screaming about different parts of the trailer that have showcased a glimpse into Phase 4. So really, there is no calm. And okay yes, The Green Goblin will return.
