Where Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution absolutely excels for both fans and the uninitiated is in its visuals and sound design. Intense, bombastic showdowns incorporate everything from gore to monsters to visual design of earth-shattering beauty. The apocalyptic cityscapes, ominous sunsets and genuinely eerie subway battle sequences pulsate with off-the-wall creatures and grotesque villains. The soundtrack is genuinely banging, accompanied by really top notch voice acting.

Bowser Jr., the prince of the koopas who debuted in Super Mario Sunshine , is an objectively cute little guy. He takes his father's fearsome, dragon-like qualities and smooshes them into a sweet baby boy, shrinking his dad's viciousness into his own brand of feistiness. I love this little bastard, and I was so stoked to see him show up in the this morning...until I got a good look at him. Why do my precious child's eyes look like he's tweaking out?

Pop tours in 2025 are generally one of two categories: extravagant spectacle or stripped-down dance party. Lorde's "Ultrasound World Tour" is, refreshingly, something in the middle. While other stars have cornered the market on being the provocateur, the drama queen, the rock star, the posh performer, Lorde has always presented as the more left-of-center, elemental type. So, it's fitting that her show at New York's Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, October 1st was equally idiosyncratic.
