In the fallout of suffering an unimaginable tragedy, astronaut James Walden accepts a deep space solo mission with the intention of never again returning to Earth.
Little does he know that this journey will not only take him far across the stars - and to an alien world - but across time, itself. 1/2

The last 4 #AEW World Champions were repeat champs (Mox, Hangman, Samoa Joe, MJF) so I like the direction here of the final two previous champs on the active roster being the next two challengers (Omega & Swerve).
But I hope the next champ is actually a first timer who breaks the cycle (Ospreay).

I haven’t been disappointed by a #LadderMatch in 30+ years, and #AEWGrandSlamAustralia was no exception.
Even though it was tough for #KyleFletcher and #MarkBriscoe to find unique ways to inflict harm upon one another 7 matches into their series.

You just know that #WheelerYuta has been begging for that Hair Match at #AEWGrandSlamAustralia
Got in over his head, so to speak, with that grow out.

#Thekla has got that big, intense, off-kilter charisma.
And the Triangle Of Madness is still working out some kinks, but they’ve got a solid vibe.
It feels like a good time to put the AEW Women’s World Title on the Toxic Spider.

“PPV Quality Card” gets tossed around sometimes when there are one or two killer matches.
But adding a #KyleFletcher vs #MarkBriscoe TNT Title #LadderMatch to an already insanely #AEW Grand Slam Australia show makes that a legit PPV Quality Card.

This is still technically Year One of a rebuild for the #NewEnglandPatriots. If they can improve their Offensive Line, they’ll be right back in the mix next year and for a lot of years after that.

This is why it’s great that #TonyKhan encourages his wrestlers to be themselves.
#BrodyKing has done some great charity work for a community that’s been under a tyrant’s siege, which is how a moment like this happens.
And #MJF is going to have a glorious run as a meme for his pitch perfect reaction.

Wow! What sounded like the entire AEW Dynamite audience in Las Vegas tonight chanted "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE!" in unison before the main event

“Fuck ICE” at @aewontv.bsky.social just the best chant I’ve ever heard at a professional wrestling show.
And then #BrodyKing smashing #MJF before the echoes even fade was the perfect alchemy of booking and audience. Bravo!

I’m enjoying #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms for the same reason I’m enjoying #WonderMan - they’re both small scale, character-driven shows that focus on a relationship between two interesting, likable characters with the occasional fun flourish from a side character.
A shockingly simple formula.

Firing 1 disgusting excuse for a man is nothing close to a solution
Abolish ICE
Prosecute its leaders & members.
Do not pass any budget that supports its continued existence in any way.
Shut down this atrocity of a federal government until that’s done.
Local communities will take care of our own.

#28YearsLaterTheBoneTemple expands the mythology & the future possibilities in a way that the other (also awesome movies) didn’t.
Can’t wait to see what comes next!
Also, between this and #Sinners, #JackOConnell has punched his ticket as the first actor you call when you need a dangerous psychopath.

My family just jammed through #MyHeroAcademia in under a month and it’s start-to-finish some of the best TV I’ve seen in a long time.
Character growth, relationship evolution, crazy action, tragedy & catharsis, it hits them all.
Also way more tightly constructed than a lot of its #Anime brethren.

I just looked it up and saw that Hamnet and Hamlet were played by a pair of real life brothers.
And now I’m tearing up again at how effectively Chloe Zhao next level dropkicked me in the emotions with this incredible meta-casting.

So, I was watching #Hamnet and thinking the whole time “Why am I not feeling more? I should be feeling more.”
But then I get to the last scene and all of a sudden it was like “Oh, there it all is.”
And I can’t help but think that’s exactly how it was meant to feel

Honestly, due to the card - and the number of retread matches - I probably wouldn’t have ordered #AEWFullGear on PPV.
But, since I live 20 mins from Prudential Center, I went to it live.
Had awesome seats and a real blast at the show. The AEW communal experience cannot be overrated.

#TrainDreams is a gorgeous, meditative, melancholy vibe in under two hours.
It sort of sneaks up behind you before clobbering you over the head with an emotional sledgehammer.
