Wait, so who was having the affair?

I watched:


Evil (Paramount+) - "How to Slaughter a Pig" - The team investigates 
possessed pigs.


Son of Batman (blu-ray) 2014 direct to video animated DC universe movie. 
  This was the third movie in the pre-tomorrowverse movies.  I was 
previously mistaken, the tomorrowverse movies don't start until 2020. 
Anyway, I was looking forward to this one the least and was pleasantly 
surprised.  The plot involves Batman being drugged and raped by Talia al 
Ghul (Morena Baccarin) at some point in the past and now she has Damian 
Wayne who she is raising to lead the League of shows.  But the league 
comes under attack by Deathstroke forcing Talia to take Damian to his 
father, who surprisingly seems cool with it all.  He takes Damian under 
his wing and trains him up to be the new Robin while Damian seeks 
revenge against Deathstroke.  It was better than I remembered.


Bad Boys: Ride or Die (theatrical) 2024 4th movie in the Bad Boys 
franchise which finds almost everyone from the first three movies 
returning for one more adventure.  The plot involves Captain Howard (Joe 
Pantoliano) being framed after his death with Will Smith And Martin 
Lawrence jumping into action to clear his name.   Overall this was a 
pretty solid Fast and Furious, I mean Bad Boys movie.  And the character 
of "Reggie" who was introduced as a teenager dating Lawrences' daughter 
in the second movie, who came back to marry her in the third movie, has 
a very crowd pleasing scene in this one.  My only gripe is the humor 
wasn't funny, at all.  Whenever they are trying to be funny the movie 
stops dead.  But the action is great.
