Once a week, Disney+ presents a new episode of this latest Marvel TV series. Today is the penultimate episode, and it’s the installment that explains everything – the weird and shifting TV “world” of WandaVision, how Vision has risen from the dead to occupy this sitcom fantasy setting, and, as in Blue Velvet or Twin Peaks, what hidden evil lurks beneath the surface banality.

MOVIE PREMIERE: One of the original cat-and-mouse cartoons is revived for a new generation., with a new animated film (and live-action hybrid) that presents their origin story as household adversaries.

Laurence Harvey and Frank Sinatra star as former prisoners of war who struggle to escape their past – but don’t overlook the women in this drama, played by Janet Leigh (post-Psycho) and Angela Lansbury.

Among tonight’s scheduled guests: Hugh Bonneville from Downton Abbey, actress Rosamund Pike, and TV chef icon Gordon Ramsay, who smiles more in one appearance on The Graham Norton Show than in entire seasons on his own coking competition programs.
