BINGE THIS WEEK: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
With She-Hulk, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been trying to upend its standard superhero formula which many now say has grown a bit tiring. An equal parts chick flick and legal comedy, the show, which just released its finale on Thursday, features cameos from both fan favourites and some of the most obscure Marvel characters for those with a keen eye. The series also constantly breaks the fourth wall in the fashion of Deadpool and Fleabag as it tries to subvert audience expectations from the superhero genre. Pick it up for a change of pace from regular super-powered action.
PLAY THIS WEEK: Forza Horizon 5

READ THIS WEEK: Troy by Stephen Fry
For those drawn into its myriad of fascinating tales, Greek mythology can become a bit unwieldy to keep chronological track of after some time. Nowhere is this more true than in trying to collate the various legends and myths that form one of the greatest epics the world has ever known – the story of the Trojan War. Celebrated British humourist and actor Stephen Fry uses his trademark wit to provide an excellent entry point or refresher on the subject. The third of his series on Greek mythology, the book retells stories from various sources to provide a comprehensive version of the fall of legendary Troy.
