iZombie Season 4, Episode 12 Review: All You Need is Liv
Once again, another episode with way too many plots running around. Don’t think that I didn't enjoy the episode: between Liv getting kidnapped and Ravi finding the cure, I appreciated the creativity and story direction.

Deadpool 2 Review: Your Friend With Benefits Who Does That Thing You Like
Now that we've seen the smack-talking assassin in action, there's not the same surprise when we see the funny credits in the opening, or the gut-laugh response to the level to which they take the language.
