Doctor Who - Boom

Inspired by a scene from “Genesis of the Daleks” where the Doctor extricates himself out of a landmine situation with relative ease, comes “Boom.” The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) land in a battlefield on Kastarion 3 where the Doctor accidentally steps on a landmine and is forced to hold his position for the entire episode. It’s an interesting setup for an episode, as in many adventures it would be the companion, not the Doctor, to get themselves into a situation in need of saving.

Power

Director Yance Ford‘s documentary examines the history and historical impact the rise of police power has had in the United States. While not all of the various threads work equally well, the film does a solid job in explaining the genesis of police in terms of methods of stability and control of the status quo which have almost always been at odds with the needs of the disenfranchised. The film pulls in interviews from several authors and experts on the subject, including spending time on the job with an African-American police officer, as well as making us of various archival footage.

Bob's Burgers - Butt Sweat and Fears

As a family activity of building something in the basement out of trash leads to a late-night burger speakeasy, Tina (Dan Mintz) is excited about a boy-girl party with dancing hoping to earn a little “upper butt action” from Jimmy Jr. (H. Jon Benjamin). While neither hits it out of the park, both storylines are solid with Bob (Mintz) and Linda (John Roberts) getting dragged into an odd, but ultimately fun, situation by their kids, and in this case Teddy (Larry Murphy), while Tina’s comedy of errors leads to a different night than she had planned.

Doom

Galactus is out of control and the heroes of the universe have failed to stop him. The oversized one-shot is heavy on narration filling in events as Valeria finds the remains of Doctor Doom. Already failing himself to stop an out-of-control Galactus driven mad by hunger, Doom learns from Valeria that the heroes of Earth (and those across the universe) didn’t fair much better. The celestial entities of the Marvel Universe also fell short. And now countless worlds, including Earth, have fallen. It seems the universe’s only hope is Doom.
