Despite the obvious connection of Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet), I'd be lying if I said I didn't go into the film looking for a deeper connection between the Nun movies and the main Conjuring films. Given the casting of both Vera Farmiga and Taissa Farmiga in the same franchise — real-life sisters and both accomplished scream queens — fans have been searching for a connection between their two characters since 2018. Now, The Nun II gives us our answer!

Gen V is set at Godolkin University, the feeder school for Vought where only the best of the best Supes can make it onto The Seven. What makes Gen V so intriguing is that it gives us a fresh perspective. We’ve seen the world through the lens of the likes of Homelander (Antony Starr) and Vought, and we’re very familiar with the way The Boys like Hughie (Jack Quaid) and Butcher (Karl Urban) see the world, but never have we seen it from this level. These Supe-students are unaware of Vought’s lack of morals and hold The Seven in high esteem like any other non-Supe civilian. But they all have the potential to join The Seven and have powers of their own, which separates them from the rest of The Seven’s doting fans.

A lot of the success of the series has to do with its unmistakable sense of humor, which might've gotten a bit more wholesome over the course of the seasons but never lost its ability to make us laugh. However, there is also another secret ingredient that makes Bob's Burgers so beloved: the charming dynamics between working-class chef Bob Belcher (H. Jon Benjamin) and his extremely functional, but also more than a little wacky family.

It's a melody that transcends the heist, uniting comrades for their common cause. A symbol of defiance, "Bella Ciao" originated from Italian resistance — first, rice laborers resisting mistreatment at work, and later, partisans resisting fascism. In Money Heist, the song rallies the crew behind The Professor as they defiantly challenge the system. It's an echo that reminds the robbers that it is not just about the heist. It's about fighting against injustice in a Robin Hood-like rebellion. It is about facing a rigged system head-on. A system that takes away a three-year-old baby from her mother, Nairobi (Alba Flores), after it fails to protect her, blaming her instead for its own corruption that left her hopeless. But it also reminds the thieves in the halls and the tunnels of the heist that freedom will come at a price, and there will be times they will say "Bella Ciao" ("Goodbye Beautiful") to each other for the sake of the common goal. And with it, the public in the series and the audience are united with the robbers and bellowing with them, "Bella Ciao," in their resistance.

Since making her debut in 2008, we've seen the complex character go from an ambitious padawan in Star Wars: The Clone Wars to a fearless freedom fighter in Star Wars Rebels to a wise lone wolf in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. That latest iteration is continuing in the latest chapter of the Mandoverse saga, Ahsoka, which sees Ahsoka (played by Rosario Dawson) lead a desperate search to find the dreaded Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) and the missing Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi).

Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, but even those titles are nothing compared to the verbosity found within those of the legendary Italian director Lina Wertmüller, the current holder of the Guinness World Record for longest title for a film. The film in question? You might want to take a deep breath… 1978’s Un Fatto Di Sangue Nel Comune Di Siculiana Fra Due Uomini Per Causa Di Una Vedova. Si Sospettano Moventi Politici. Amore-Morte-Shimmy. Lugano Belle. Tarantelle. Tarallucci E Vino. Those words (actually five sentences) amount to 179 characters, roughly translating to A Bloody Affair in the Municipality of Sicily Between Two Men Due to a Widow. Political Motives Are Suspected. Love-Death-Shimmy. Lugano Beautiful. Tarantellas. Tarallucci and Wine. Internationally, it was known as Blood Feud, or even more simply, Revenge.

In the dark and twisted Sanctuary, he plays an insecure man attempting to end things with dominatrix, Rebecca (Margaret Qualley). Maybe you know Abbott from Black Bear where he stars alongside Aubrey Plaza in the psychological thriller about a filmmaker creating his muse, or On the Count of Three, which deals with a pair of suicidal friends. He's also acting alongside Plaza off-Broadway in the emotionally-heavy play Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, and is taking over for Ryan Gosling in Wolf Man.
