World of Warcraft: Shadowlands’ release is under a week away. The new expansion takes players beyond the veil of death itself to the Shadowlands, an interconnected system of afterlives, each with their own purpose and type of inhabitant.

The Suicide Squad, next year’s reboot (remake?) of 2016’s Suicide Squad, is poised to be one of the biggest and most bombastic films of 2021, and apart from its enormous cast and gargantuan scope, one of the most enticing parts of its premise is coming directly from the man in charge.
