TIFF 2020 Film Review: One Night in Miami by Jeffrey Zhang
TV Review: WandaVision by Jeffrey Zhang
If you can't tell, the episode order of Batman: The Animated Series on HBO Max is a little strange. That's because it's in air order, and not production order. The order in which the episodes aired makes zero sense, so we're pointing you to the correct, production order for your reference. You can find that here.
Listening to this episode, you might come to realize that we are three men talking about a female-directed, female-led superhero film. There are many, many important voices out there talking about the film, and many women who have written reviews that cover a variety of opinions. Below, you'll find a few pieces written by women that are worth reading:
1:01 - 7:14 - Disney Investor Panel
7:15 - 12:35 - The Mandalorian
12:36 - 17:14 - The Boys
17:15 - 23:13 - The Expanse
23:14 - 28:48 - The Queen's Gambit

Say farewell to The Hannibal Files with our final episode recapping the last two episodes of this wonderful show. The Red Dragon ends here, and perhaps in a way that you might not expect. We talk about the end of Dolarhyde, and of course, Will and Hannibal. What is the legacy of the show? Tune in and find out.
Welcome to the penultimate episode of The Hannibal Files. In the home stretch of the series and this podcast, we discuss the scattered yet still compelling episodes leading up to the end. Building up to the final showdown between Dolarhyde and those out to catch him, the show is reveling in Richard Armitage's feral performance and some new dynamics with old characters.
The final arc of Bryan Fuller's Hannibal starts here. Three years after Dr. Lecter's capture, a new case draws everyone back into the good doctor's orbit. Richard Armitage is Francis Dolarhyde, a monstrous new killer targeting entire families. Will Hannibal cooperate and help the FBI catch him?
Before we tackle the final arc of Bryan Fuller's Hannibal, we're going to be taking a look at Michael Mann's 1986 thriller, Manhunter. Based on the Thomas Harris novel Red Dragon, Manhunter serves as the first adaptation of the Red Dragon story, and the basis of the final six episodes of Hannibal. Widely considered as a cult classic, Manhunter is a neon injection of 80s neo-noir.
The Mason Verger arc comes to a close with the midseason finale of Hannibal. "Digestivo" buttons up a number of storylines, setting the stage for a brand new direction in the final half-season of the series. How do Will and Hannibal escape their predicament at Muskrat Farm? What fate befalls the Verger estate? Tune in and listen to our thoughts!
Hannibal and Bedelia's time together in Italy has come to an end as the good doctor is luring all his enemies to him. Jack, Will, and Pazzi close in on Hannibal in an explosive couple of episodes that sets up the mid-season finale. Tune in and find out what we thought about the latest gruesome developments!
With episodes 3 and 4, Hannibal hits a lull in the pacing in which we all agree isn't the best for the series. Will visits the infamous Lecter estate, while we catch up with the rest of the cast, whose fates are all still up in the air from last season's bloodbath.
A new chapter of The Hannibal Files begins as we follow the fugitive Hannibal Lecter and his unexpected companion to Europe. Paris! Florence! Stolen identities!

The first season of Hannibal ends with a bang as we discuss what's to be done with Will Graham and the first 12 episodes as a whole.
