Lorraine Warren has seen true evil at the start of The Conjuring 2 and wants to call it quits — at least for a while — but when the Hodgson family finds itself under siege by a terrible haunting, the paranormal investigators have no choice but to help. Set in the late ’70s in the London Borough of Enfield, The Conjuring 2 ticks off many of the same boxes as the original: haunted house, demonic possession, and a relentless pace full of jump scares that doesn’t let up until the Warrens are back in their spooky museum, locking away their latest ghostly trinket just before the credits roll....

Two nice things in a row just happened to June and Luke (hot marriage sex plus romantic Al Green slow dance), so by the laws of The Handmaid’s Tale, one of them’s now going to have to lose a limb. No good deed goes unpunished on this show, which keeps its finger hovering over the ‘electrocute’ button anytime a character even comes close to having a good time....

Netflix may be busily wielding the scythe of cancellation (give us back our GLOW, you curs) while Covid-19 is doing its level best to mess up all that’s good in the world (new Peaky Blinders, cinemas, and holding hands with strangers on the bus) but thanks to Channel 4, there’s hope on the horizon. Stath Lets Flats is officially returning for a third series. And he hasn’t even had an egg for energy or nothing....

Super Mario Maker 2 has received its first update since launch, which has increased the number of courses that the player can upload to sixty-four.

If a player had created a lot of stages that they like, then there might have come a time when they would have to download older ones in order to make room for their newer creations....
