Family Guy - "Row v. Wade" - Episode from last week.  Brian wins a boat
on the price is Right and decides to use it to provide free abortions
for women in Texas.

Did he wino it by doing that asshole thing of bidding one penny more than
person before him?

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - "The Gang F***s Up Abbott
Elementary" - Season 17, episode 1.  This is the other half of the
"Abbott Elementary" crossover.  It shows the events a bit more from The
Gang's perspective and more of what the gang was up to when the camera
was focused on the school staff.

"Frank Is In a Coma" - Season 17, episode 2.  I didn't give this my full
attention, but basically Frank was in a coma while everyone else
rejoiced at their pending inheritance.

DAMN YOU JIMMY'S JOHNS!

Superman (theatrical) New Superman movie written and directed by James
Gunn.  David Corenswet stars as a new, younger, Superman who has only
been active for a few years. After Superman stops two countries from
waging war Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) uses social media along with
healthy doses of lies, to turn people against Superman.  Unlike the last
few Superman adventures this movie is very much a comic book film.  None
of that gritty real world nonsense.  This Superman proudly wears red
trunks on the outside of his suit, has Superman robots, and super dog
named Krypto.  Technically, it's not his dog, but we don't need to get
into that right now.  The other thing that separates this movie from the
last few Superman movies is it returns focus to Clark Kent as a
character as well as a focus on the Daily Planet and the staff there.
Not only is there a Jimmy Olsen in this movie, but he actually has lines
and his character is important to the plot.  I'm still processing all of
it.  I'll see it again this weekend and will have a better idea how I
feel about it then.  But for now at least, I definitely liked it.  And
I'm looking forward to seeing a new more comic accurate Superman universe.

I approved.
