Send us Fan MailScripties, buckle up! This week, we dive into some exciting news—our favorite, Aaron Pierre, has officially been cast as Jon Stewart in the upcoming DCU Green Lantern series. Fresh off his breakout role in Rebel Ridge, we gush over his incredible journey from Foe to portraying Malcolm X and now stepping into the superhero world. Next, we break down the intense second half of Bad Monkey (Season 1, Episodes 6-10) on Apple TV. Do Evie and Chris get away with their schemes? And that shocking final scene—Evie’s fate, Chris’s grim discovery, and the complex question of whether Gracie’s death was fair punishment or coincidence. We debate Rosa’s decision to end things with Yancy and speculate on the possibility of a season two. In our Viewers Recommended Watch segment, we unravel Grotesquerie (Season 1, Episodes 1-5) on Hulu. From Niecy Nash and Courtney B. Vance to a surprising pop-in from Travis Kelsey, this detective-nun duo investigates some dark, personal crimes, while grappling with their own inner demons. We dive into the show’s chilling twists, Ryan Murphy’s episodic style, and the addictive tension between the characters. Plus, we guess who the real killer might be. Finally, we wrap up with the Oscar-winning Everything Everywhere All at Once. We discuss the multiverse madness, our thoughts on its many awards, including the Jamie Lee Curtis controversy, and the film’s deeper messages. Did we love it or hate it?
