When Rogue One was released 10 years ago in 2016, fan reactions were generally positive, especially the explosive last act, including Darth Vader's now iconic hallway massacre. Yet, few could have predicted that its prequel show, Andor, would deliver the spectacular narrative that it did. Doing away with the Jedi, lightsabers, and the force altogether, Andor grounded the Star Wars universe in the politicking and resistance that would eventually produce the rebellion, using Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) as its protagonist, and was awarded with a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score. While several lines and monologues are seared into memory, one quote stands above them all, as summarizing exactly whyAndor's quality, especially in its dialogue, is one of, if not the highest, in the entire series.

Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) were fan-favorite characters long before WandaVision, with Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War offering audiences glimpses of their developing relationship. Yet, the trilogy that WandaVision began, as Paul Bettany dubbed it on the HappySadConfused Podcast, is one of Marvel's best narratives in a long time. While the Marvel TV slate has at times struggled to maintain a throughline of interconnectivity that defines the MCU, the second entry in this trilogy, Agatha All Along, is the perfect stepping stone from WandaVision and exactly what you need to binge before VisionQuestreleases in October. Agatha All Along not only thematically builds on WandaVision's explorations of motherhood, but features a stacked cast that allows for a thrilling interpersonal dynamic and an easy binge. With twists and turns, mysterious identities revealed and classic MCU action, Agatha All Alongis both necessary and joyous viewing.

Tom Hardyand James Gandolfini built careers on unforgettable roles that helped shape modern film and television, with acclaimed projects like Inceptionand The Sopranos among the standout titles on their résumés. That level of success not only raises an actor’s profile and reputation but can also become a double-edged sword, with other, no less impactful, performances flying under the radar. That is where the gangster thriller, The Drop, finds itself. Released in 2014, during the height of Hardy’s blockbuster rise between films like The Dark Knight Rises and Mad Max: Fury Road, and with Gandolfini having already played one of the most iconic mob bosses of all time, The Drop was always going to struggle to become a breakout hit, especially on a $12.6 million budget.
