One of my favorite games is trying to figure out which of the Magic players were at MAL this weekend, because it lines up with a prerelease every year (insert prerelease joke here)

Lupita Nyong'o is so good as a Don't Scream Queen
A Quiet Place: Day One (2024). A third sequel-prequel neatly hides one of the best post apocalyptic films of recent years. Devastating and more than carried by Nyong'o, there's a little of The World, The Flesh, and the Devil (1959) knotted into this too.
