A new Elvis Presley documentary, The Return of the King: The Fall and Rise of Elvis Presleyis currently streaming on Netflix, but there are several things the film leaves out about the King of Rock and Roll. Return of the King is focused on Presley's 1968 Comeback Special, a live concert that Presley performed on a TV show just over a decade after he had a hit. Although Presley became an international sensation within a few years of beginning his singing career in 1954, Presley's time in the army diminished his popularity somewhat. Presley's many film performances didn't help matters,…

Dooku has become an increasingly interesting character in Star Wars movies and TV shows. After his introduction in the prequel trilogy, Dooku repeatedly returned to the Star Wars schedule, especially in Star Wars animated shows. These updates to Dooku's story have provided fascinating new insights into his experiences as Master Yoda's Jedi Padawan and Qui-Gon Jinn's Jedi Master, as well as his complex relationship with…
The Polar Express is a Christmas movie classic, and yet there are several elements of this fan-favorite holiday story that make very little sense or simply don't work. Despite The Polar Express Released 20 years ago, it remains one of the best Santa Claus films to date. In truth, The Polar Express 2 is in development after two decades of few updates on the possibility of a sequel, reflecting the film's staying power and continued popularity. The Polar Express is popular for good reason. The Polar Express The cast features Tom Hanks, a beloved and critically acclaimed actor, and the…
Aubrey Plaza's new coming-of-age film My old ass It's now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, and it perfectly deals with a common problem in this genre. My old ass chronicles Elliott's journey into adulthood, which becomes quite unusual when she stumbles upon mushrooms in the woods with her friends and ends up encountering her older self. Throughout the film, it is not entirely clear whether old Elliott is real or a hallucination caused by the mushrooms. While the My old ass The ending leaves the answer somewhat ambiguous, most signs point to the older Elliott being real. Whether the older…
25 years later Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menaceone of the biggest mysteries about Anakin Skywalker that remains in Star Wars may finally be revealed in Ahsoka season 2. Anakin Skywalker Star Wars The timeline has dominated the franchise for decades, but there are still a lot of things that don't make sense about Anakin. Perhaps for this reason, his story continued to expand even after the Skywalker Saga came to an end with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. This has been particularly true in live-action TV shows, as both Obi Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka saw Hayden…
A highly controversial moment of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker makes even less sense than it originally seemed based on Leia Organa's book Star Wars history. Despite Star Wars: The Force Awakens being released nearly a decade ago, the sequel trilogy remains a controversial subject among Star Wars movies and TV shows. There have been a number of problems with the nominated sequel trilogy over the years, although Rey choosing the last name Skywalker at the end of The Rise of Skywalker remains one of the biggest complaints to date. Many argued that this name change made little sense…
Star Wars shocked viewers when the Ahsoka program revealed that Sabine Wren had become Ahsoka Tano Jedi Padawan following Star Wars Rebelspartly because Sabine never seemed Force-sensitive, but the most confusing aspect of this revelation was the timeline. Ahsoka Star Wars The timeline is relatively well defined, especially when programs like Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi and The Mandalorian continued to flesh out their story long after Star Wars: The Clone Wars. However, Ahsoka's whereabouts during the original Star Wars trilogy remains relatively unknown. This adds to the confusion about when Ahsoka could have trained Sabine, mainly because of…
A new Netflix documentary, The Return of the King: The Fall and Rise of Elvis Presleyreveals insights into Elvis Presley's 1968 comeback special - but not every aspect of the international icon's story is captured on film. Return of the King focuses on the efforts of Presley and his team, especially his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, to restart his career once again following Presley's time in the army and a myriad of other factors that reduced public interest to some degree. Given this specific focus, many biographical details are missing from Return of the King. An aspect of Presley's life…
Andor season two is the perfect opportunity to Star Wars to make up for a political story that was unfortunately cut from Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. Although there has been much discourse on the topic and arguments to the contrary, Star Wars has been political since the beginning. A New Hope was the story of a group of unlikely heroes who banded together to fight an imperial regime that threatened their lives and oppressed the galaxy for nearly two decades. This political advantage for Star Wars continued throughout Star Wars movies and TV shows (after…
Rey Skywalker future in Star Wars remains uncertain, and recent news about Star Wars the upcoming films make me even more nervous about what the franchise's plan is for this character. Star Wars shocked many with the news that Simon Kinberg is working on a new trilogy. Details about the new films remain limited, including whether the new trilogy will have episodes 10-12 in the Star Wars timeline. I'm already worried that Kinberg's trilogy will be an insult to Rey if the films are episodes 10-12 and center on entirely new characters. Even if Rey were to be included in…
