1. LOTR: The Rings of Power’s Sauron Actor Dives into the Big Reveal
Excerpt: CBR had a chance to sit down with Charlie Vickers, who plays Halbrand, aka Sauron, to discuss the fan reaction to the big reveal. He dove into his own preparation to hide Sauron in the character of Halbrand and what viewers can expect from the Dark Lord going forward in The Rings of Power Season 2. Read more HERE.
2. Lionel Messi, A Tale of Learning from Defeat & Getting Back Up Again
Excerpt: For Messi, there was defeat after defeat at fútbol’s biggest stages: The World Cup and the Copa America. And there was a particularly rough spell where Argentina lost three finals in a row, the 2014 World Cup final to Germany, and the 2015 and 2016 Copa America finals, both to Chile. It was then that Messi said “I’m done,” announcing his decision to retire from international fútbol. If there is such a thing as rock bottom, Messi hit it then. But that wasn’t to be the end of Lionel Messi’s story. Instead, it was the beginning of a new mentality that, in 2022, has given Argentina a World Cup. Read more HERE.
3. Shadow and Bone’s Freddy Carter, Amita Suman, Danielle Galligan, Calahan Skogman, Kit Young and Jack Wolfe Talk Romance in Season 2
Excerpt: And then there’s the Inej of it all. Kanej had enough moments during the season that it was hard to pick just one for Freddy and Amita to dissect, but in the end, we went with their final one, the line-for-line conversation pulled straight from the books where Inej tells Kaz: “I will have you without armor, or I will not have you at all.” It was a big moment for both fans of the books, and the actors themselves.

4. ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Makes Culture An Every-Day Thing
Excerpt: As a community, we need more of that. We need more of our stories normalized. We need stories about our beginnings, our triumphs, and what it means to be Latine, yes, but we also need more stories where we just are Latine and living our lives. Doing good, doing bad, struggling, persevering, winning big cases, or losing big cases. Either way, the thing that makes The Lincoln Lawyer memorable is the way that the Latine representation in it is not particularly memorable. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo is here to play a Mickey Haller who was always Latine, and there’s no attempt to hide that. But though this is a story about Mickey Haller, it is a story about something other than his identity. Read more HERE.
5. ‘Outer Banks’ Season 3 Review: Uneven, But Satisfying
Excerpt: Ultimately, though, despite the fact that Outer Banks leaves us wanting more in a lot of respects (sometimes frustratingly so), the season on the whole is a satisfying journey that brings the characters and the story full circle. And even if we might need fanfic to fill some gaps, well …at least on the whole, it’ll be good fanfic. Read more HERE.
6. Stranger Things Turned Hopper’s Body Transformation Into an Uncomfortable Joke
Excerpt: Thin Hopper — particularly considering how he got to be thinner — isn’t inherently better, and there was really no need to praise him for losing weight when the real amazing thing everyone should have been remarking on was that he was alive in the first place. These people have all gone through enough to understand that Hopper’s “Russia detour” wouldn’t have been a picnic, and the jokes were a clumsy way of adding levity to charged situations that ended up hurting the season more than helping those particular scenes.
