Cover Your Ears

Narrated by Kate Moss, Cover Your Ears examines the topic of censorship in the music industry over the years for a variety of reasons including racism, culture shifts, obscenity, violence, sex, religion, politics, and protest, activism, and revolution. The film sets out to examine how music can be a mirror for the world, reflecting the good and bad of the times, and how censorship of music really only tackles a symptom pointing out a disease rather than the disease itself.

Uncanny X-Men #1

The first issue of the relaunched Uncanny X-Men jumps around quite a bit highlighting a world where mutants have retreated back into the shadows. The world has changed. The mansion is under the control of Doctor Corina Ellis whose plans involve stripping it of its history and using what she can for her own anti-mutant agenda. Some of the X-Men have travelled with Cyclops to build something new. However, others seem adrift. As Rogue asks, what is next for them?

Hit-Monkey - The Rope

In an episode that features Bryce (Jason Sudeikis) and Hit-Monkey taking down a giant, who has grabbed the crazed Haruka (Ally Maki), by exploding from its head, “The Rope” provides some backstory for the mystical weapons such as the sword their friend is wielding along with a backstory for the Alderman and an introduction to the Assassins Cooperative who invite Monkey to join their cause. Quite a mix of exposition and action, “The Rope” also includes another deal between Bryce and the Devil which provides him with temporary use of a physical body on Earth (the cost of which will eventually come due).

Delicious in Dungeon - Egg/The Golden Country

As the other party reaches the surface and discovers the dungeon may soon be in danger from elves who have arrived (which also provides some backstory for Kabru), a ghost leads our party to a new part of the dungeon which reveals Laios‘ (Damien C. Haas) destiny. Because we don’t have monster attacks here, and the characters spend most of the time in this new community cursed with immortality deep in a peaceful pocket of the dungeon, the only dinner of note is the Eggs Benedict they eat prior to allowing the ghost to pull them into this new realm. However, there are plenty of docile monsters in the town for Laios and the others to nerd over. The episode feels very much like a transitionary one, pushing characters on to the paths for the final episodes of the season and setting up a new danger to the dungeon from the elves.

Star Trek: Prodigy - Dream Catcher

Star Trek Sunday gives us another episode of Star Trek: Prodigy. After a two-part opener on a slave labor mining planet and an episode of the new crew learning to trust the ship and their holographic helper, “Dream Catcher” offers the first episode that fits more into the Star Trek mold as the crew make their first away mission to what seems to be a Class M planet devoid of life. Although we still get characters not quite acting in the Starfleet manner, such as Gwyn (Ella Purnell) breaking out of the brig and attempting to steal the ship and Dal R’El (Brett Gray) hot rodding around the planet blissful unaware of the danger everyone is in, the setup of a planet (which uses invaders own dreams against them to lull them into acceptance as it consumes them) could easily have fit right in as a stop for the original Starship Enterprise.
