🔪 The Phoenician Scheme: Wes Anderson Is Back in a Big Way

The reviews are in! Take your pick — there are plenty of pivotal television episodes and highly-anticipated movies that are either close to release or recently reached audiences over the Memorial Day weekend. Our headliner, of course, is our glowing review of The Phoenician Scheme, which has Wes Anderson returning to his former glory after a few misses over the past decade. But there’s more where that came from!

The Last of Us just aired its explosive season finale right after it broke our hearts with a flashback penultimate episode. And speaking of second-to-last episodes, Doctor Who just aired a doozy with “Wish World.” Then there’s The Handmaid’s Tale, which aired its emotional series finale after six amazing seasons. I guess it’s that time of year!

And that’s before we even talk about our thoughts on the star-studded Coen-Cooke comedy, Honey Don’t! Have you seen any of these films or episodes on our list? See if you agree with our reviewers!
