Meghan Markle and Prince Harry both have birthdays coming up, which means one thing: the Sussex Squad has a plan.  The Sussex Squad is a group of supporters of the royal couple who regularly join forces around major holidays and birthdays to celebrate Meghan and Harry through charitable endeavors. Generally, organizers pick causes to contribute to, alert the rest of the Sussex Squad via social media of the effort and begin fundraising and donating in the days leading up to their deadline. Dani Trin, a recent college graduate based in Portugal, helped create and oversee the latest campaign for Meghan’s birthday on Aug. 4 and Harry’s on Sept. 15.  Last week, she announced the “unforgettable” initiative on Twitter: scholarships for women’s education in partnership with the Campaign f...

The dysfunctional family of seven ex-superheroes known as the Umbrella Academy have two things in common: They all were born on the same day, and they’re all working — some more consciously than others — through the trauma of their father’s abuse. Beneath the end-of-the-world, blow-up-the-moon stuff, the first season of Netflix’s fizzy live-action adaptation of The Umbrella Academy, Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba’s Eisner Award-winning comic book, had that emotional heart too. In season one, we met the Hargreeves kids, now adults, all puzzling out their lives when their dad, Reginald Hargreeves, dies. His death brings them all together, forcing them to confront unanswered questions about forgiveness, abuse, and family — questions they buried with time. With their bad dad dead, findin...

With Wonder Woman 1984 and The Batman on the horizon, it’s safe to say the DC Extended Universe is in a very good place. In fact, the franchise is arguably in the best shape it’s ever been.

Tom Holland isn’t known for being a movie buff, even though he’s a movie actor. What he is known for is being a cheerleader — not only for Marvel and Spider-Man, but for anything he likes. He’s only too happy to name his favorites, which he was happy to do in 2017 when Spider-Man: Homecoming came out.  What’s interesting about this interview in hindsight is how Holland’s choices have some kind of connection with Marvel and/or they foretold his own future. Maybe that Spider-sense is stronger than we thought.  Tom Holland names milestone movies Tom Holland MCU star | Tim P.
