It’s win-win: you don’t heat up the kitchen and you still get the best dessert ever. Fruit-and-dough dessert combos are my favorite. Nothing tastes quite so divine as sugary, syrupy, seasonal fruit enrobed in pastry and topped with soft cream. The only problem is that cobblers, crisps and the like traditionally require an oven, which is something I avoid turning on in the summer. My kitchen has minimal airflow and gets uncomfortably hot....

After a two-year span of no theatrical releases from Marvel Studios, Black Widow finally became available to watch in cinemas and via Disney+ Premier Access last month. The film served as a send-off for Scarlet Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff, introduced audiences to Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, and revealed their past as sisters forced to train as Black Widows in the brutal environment of the Red Room. The Direct was fortunate enough to chat with Michelle Lee, who plays former Black Widow member Oksana in the film....
Disney+ Day was a whirlwind of announcements, first looks, and new logos across the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

A new survey finds that animal welfare labels affect buying decisions, but few people actually know what they mean. Since most of us aren’t out in the woods or fields bringing home the bacon, so to speak, there is an easy disconnect between, say, a cow in the pasture and a hamburger on the plate. A lambchop wrapped in plastic at a supermarket bears little resemblance to a lamb in the meadow – and it makes it easier for us to not think about how our food was raised....
In just a few days, Marvel Studios will jump back into the theatrical blockbuster game with Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which has already incited an enthused madness across the fandom.

I am Canadian, not Danish, but I like to think I know how to ‘hygge’ properly. ‘Hygge’ was all the rage last winter, as you might recall. The Danish word roughly translates as ‘coziness’ and the concept became super-trendy, dominating Instagram feeds, store displays, book lists, and magazines with images of warm, welcoming, rustic living rooms, draped in plaid blankets and lit by candles. In the midst of the hygge madness, I wrote a few articles, abour our love with hygge and a somewhat tongue-in-cheek story about how growing up “in a house that looked like a hygge postcard” was a lot of work....

It’s been a long road to get to the third film of James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. Disney’s decision to fire and rehire the director after a Twitter controversy led Gunn to take up the directing job of The Suicide Squad for DC, therefore pushing the film back to 2023 — when he will next be available. Before then, the Guardians will be seen on-screen in Thor: Love and Thunder in March 2022, before going on to star in their own Holiday Special towards the end of next year....

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has been a Marvel Studios project like no other. From its half-hour legal comedy structure to its fourth-wall-breaking antics, the introduction of Jennifer Walters has been one to remember. It even brought Daredevil back to everyone’s screens.What some may not have expected, however, was how his introduction episode ended: with both Jen and Matt hooking up.Sexuality is something that isn’t often talked about in the MCU. Sure, there are kisses and romantic relationships—but when it comes to sex, it’s usually avoided....

It was disheartening for fans of Ms. Marvel to see the show seemingly perform so poorly in its debut week on Disney+, not even breaking one million US households in a five-day period. However, many blamed the series for streaming on the same day as Obi-Wan Kenobi, which would explain why She-Hulk: Attorney at Law suddenly changed from premiering on Wednesdays to Thursdays.This is something that many would say should have been done since Disney+ was launched, which now stops She-Hulk from having to compete with Andor when it eventually debuts on Disney+ on Wednesdays....

Surprisingly, another MCU project in the form of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 3 has been confirmed to join the alternate reality shenanigans of the franchise, but details on how it will be shown are still being kept under wraps.

© Sean Gallup/ Getty Images News During the winter, if conditions are just right, something strange can happen in lakes, rivers and creeks. Something that when witnessed – even in this day and age – still makes people question if something supernatural is going on. We’re talking about ice circles. Ice circles, also called ice discs or ice pans, form in water when ice gathers in the center of the body of water in the midst of an eddy....
Marvel Studios may have the world’s attention once again with Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but this only comes as an extension of years of work the franchise put into Infinity Saga.
