Zendaya’s next big project is the upcoming romantic sports drama film Challengers, directed by Luca Guadagnino. The film will feature Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned married champion. As a result, the film is bound to be one of Zendaya’s more mature outings, especially because of some steamy scenes.

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which this week features seven matches – matching this week’s Elevation. Let’s see what went down…
Match #1: Ar Fox def. Peter Avalon
My Thoughts: Well this was a surprisingly great opener. Ar Fox has been a fantastic addition to the Aew roster – you just have to look at this match, where he and Peter Avalon worked brilliantly together to see that. Kudos to Avalon too, whose recently shed the more comedic aspects of his wrestling persona to great aplomb. A solid opening match.
My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: Willie Mack def. Serpentico
My Thoughts: Willie Mack should’ve ended this one fast and decisively but he didn’t, he actually sold Serpentico’s offence on his knee – even after the match ended. The sign of a true professional. As always Serpentico wrestled better in a singles match than he ever...

Americanish
“Sam is going to be so successful,” Ameera (Shenaz Treasury) gushes as she lies between the beds of her two cousins, Samira and Maryam (Salena Qureshi). “And you’re going to be a great doctor,” she tells Maryam. “Everybody’s going to get what they want.” Including, hopefully, Ameera, newly arrived in the US on a six-month visa and hoping to get some help from her khala to find the answer to her own dreams, namely, marrying a Pakistani-American doctor.
The film’s title, with that little “ish” added to the end of America, neatly sums up the world of these young women caught between two cultures: one, overwhelmingly American, into which they are born, or into which they arrive; the second, the culture of their homeland, or their parents’ homeland, with ties to culture that sometimes are in direct conflict with the former. Any child of immigrants knows that there are always expectations,...
