It was a total joy, start to finish. But that said, we did have some questions about the episode....

One thing that becomes immediately apparent to anyone interested inGodzillais thesheer longevity and variety of the series.There have been close to 40 feature films with the titular monster since 1954,andGodzilla, as a character and a film series, shows no signs of losing popularity any time soon. There’s always been something inherently appealing aboutseeing a giant monster like Godzillastomp around,whether that monster is a metaphor for something serious— such as atomic weapons —more representative of a natural disaster humanity must rally against, or simply something for another monster to take on in spectacular combat....

The protagonists ofVĕra Chytilová’s gleefully anarchic 1966 comedyDaisiesare two beautiful young women, both named Marie (although they go by a series of fake names in the movie itself). Marie I (Jitka Cerhová) is a brunette with pouty lips who wears her hair in girlish pigtails; Marie II (Ivana Karbanová) has a strawberry blonde bob and habitually dons a flower crown. After an intro sequence that rolls credits over whirring machinery and footage from World War II, the film cuts to the Maries sitting against a wooden wall like dolls in a toy box (complete with creaking joint noises), lamenting the “spoiled world” and resolving to beat it at its own game....

Netflix’sVoltron Legendary Defendersurprised fans with the news that Seasons 3 and 4 would be dropping in the same year, but that each would be on the shorter side of the episode number. Season 3 clocked in with seven episodes while Season 4, now available on the streaming content provider, is a franchise low with only six. However, those six episodes pack in plenty of mythology, epic battles, some very silly humor, and surprising changes in leadership and alliances; the show does a lot with little real estate to work in....

At this point in his career,Harrison Fordhas settled comfortably into two separate roles — the beloved actor behind a handful of the most iconic characters of all time, and the very tired actor who would like to stop talking about those characters, thank you very much.Just ask our own editor in chief. But since digital media is dying and franchises monopolize the pop culture conversation (Happy Monday!), Ford will probably be hearingStar Warsquestions for as long as he’s still doing interviews....
