Monday Anime Round-up: Jujutsu Kaisen Beatdown Therapy and the Ultimate Rap Battle

Welcome to the Monday Anime Round-up, a weekly series where I talk about the anime I watched over the weekend. This is week three! Oh my gosh! I've been so on top of things! Which, of course, means that one of the series I was watching is done until 2021 (Moriarty the Patriot) and these last two aired their final episodes. I'm not sure when/if we're getting more Hypnosis Mic and Jujutsu Kaisen will return mid-January 2021.

Last Week of 2020 Gets Extra Baffling as the Internet Investigates the Truth of Hilaria Baldwin’s Identity

My favorite thing about this entire situation is that Hilaria Baldwin went into her Instagram stories, said she was done posting for a while and going to log off, and then posted like two hours later.

Friendship Goals: Girlie Vigilantism in Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Woman

Emerald Fennell’s new feature film Promising Young Woman is visually stunning, tightly written, and even though it masquerades as a rape revenge fantasy horror film (which it is), it’s more so a love story. I don’t mean that it’s a romantic comedy—it is certainly not that—but it’s a film about the family you choose, your lifelong friends.

Which Bespectacled DC Villainess Are You?

Are you introverted? Are you shy? Do you perhaps wear glasses? Are you constantly harangued at work by an ill-intentioned boss or harassed by men when you walk home at night?

Wonder Woman 1984′s Cheetah Is All Wasted Potential and Bad Implications

Wonder Woman 1984 isn’t just one of the few superhero movies to have a female lead with the titular heroine, a.k.a. Diana Prince (Gal Gadot). Even in a market already saturated with superhero fare, it’s one of the few to feature a female supervillian. Even juicier—and, potentially, hilarious—is that it’s the Cheetah. How delicious to have a villain who is also a cat, often a symbol of femininity itself?
