We get to see the other side of reality in episode 4 of 'WandaVision'

In this week's episode of 'WandaVision' titled "We Interrupt this Program" follows Monica as she returns from the blip (aka Iron Man's return snap). She is looking for her mother, Maria, and learns that she has disappeared for five years and that her mom died of cancer three years prior. This is sad news for fans of Monica who we met in Captain Marvel. I know I was hopeful to seeing a crossover with that character in the Marvel universe again.  Le sigh. But we do learn that Maria was one bad-ass MF as she created the new SHIELD, called SWORD (Sentient Weapon Operation Response Division). Monica returns to work at SWORD and is sent on a mission to Westview, New Jersey. We see some familiar faces once we get here. FBI Agent Jimmy Woo (Randall Park - the FBI agent trying to keep Scott Lang on his parole in Ant-Man and the Wasp ) and Darcy (Kat Dennings - Natalie Portman's assistant in Thor and Thor 2 ) returns and basically is the reason why they can figure a...

The WandaVision family becomes four in the latest episode 'Now in Color'

  WandaVision jumps to the 70's in this episode and that includes color! The show feels and looks very much like The Brady Bunch in this episode. Again, the show goes right to the line of what the shows were like in the 70's, but does not go over the top.  We know that Wanda is pregnant in this episode (as it was at the end of the last episode) and because Vision is the father, it's going to be an expedited pregnancy. All done in about fifteen minutes of the show. They have twins! In my head, I went straight to the fact that Elizabeth's sisters are twins and how that is funny ironic and completely forgot that her character is a twin. DUH! The show ends in a true Marvel fashion. There is a tension-filled moment with Geraldine (aka Maria) because Wanda talks about her twin brother Pietro. Geraldine makes the mistakes of stating that she know Pietro was killed by Ultron. Wanda breaks from her fantasy and doesn't like the fact that Geraldine is breaking her fantasy so s...

Wanda and Vision take us back to old family sitcoms in the first two episodes of 'WandaVision'

It is finally upon us. Marvel is finally releasing new material. This is exactly what fans need after the disastrous of a year of 2020. Granted we weren't getting a whole lot of new footage in 2020, but the fact that Black Widow was delayed for over a year was enough to get any fan upset. 2021 is going to have quite the line up for Marvel with WandaVision kicking it off. The show returns Paul Bettany as Vision and Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff. The show is going to pay homage to all the classic sitcoms and they do it in a way that is not over the top (thank God). The first two shows may be a little of slow going for some fans that expect a lot of action, but give it time. Marvel has done well at connecting all the dots. Let's not lose hope. But let's get to the show. WandaVision stars Wanda Maximoff and Vision as they are living their life like famous sitcoms. The first episode looked to pay homage to Leave it to Beaver with a touch of I Love Lucy. Wanda a...

  The Stud Next Door By Kendall Ryan Release Day:  January 19 , 202 1     About the Book Life threw me a curveball. An adorable eight-pound, four-ounce curveball with her mother’s eyes and my dark hair. I’d like to think my single-dad game is strong, but honestly?

She’s also patient, kind, and way too pretty.    The number one rule of hiring a  nanny?  Don’t  bed  the nanny.   It’s a rule I intend to keep.   But as the days pass, I begin to realize how much my life is missing. Companionship. Romance. Intimacy. When I discover my heart has space for one more female, it’s a lost cause, another curveball.

CHAPTER 1  Stella  “I can’t do this…” I stopped halfway up the marble staircase.  Fisher paused a few steps ahead of me. He walked back down to where I stood. “Sure you can. Remember the time we were in sixth grade and you had to make that presentation about your favorite president? You were a nervous wreck. You thought you were going to forget everything you’d memorized and be standing there with everyone staring at you.”  “Yes, what about it?”  “Well, this is no different. You got through that, didn’t you?”  Fisher had lost his mind. “My fears  all came true  that day. I got up in front of the blackboard and started to sweat. I couldn’t remember a single word I’d written. Everyone in the class stared, and then...
