MasterChef Singapore, Season 4
Let me get this straight: Team Audra’s Inderpal didn’t plate his dish but was spared the red card? C’mon! I understand MasterChef Singapore is known for its geniality but this is too much. Elsewhere, fellow teammate Louise was awarded the Power Pin, which grants her “untold” and “epic” advantages in the next three challenges. Congrats! You now have a target board on your back. Catch the previous episode here:

The Little Mermaid

Not the monster hit Disney had hoped for (we aren’t feeling next year’s Snow White either, but that’s another story for another time), the live-action remake of the classic animated feature stars Halle Bailey as the title character who strikes a Faustian deal with a sea witch (Melissa McCarthy’s Ursula) to be with a prince (Jonah Hauer-King). Watch our interview with Awkwafina and Jacob Tremblay who voiced Scuttle and Flounder, respectively, here:

Forget Haunted Mansion (again, not the big hit Disney had hoped for), this is the other horror tale starring LaKeith Stanfield to catch. He plays a used book dealer in Manhattan searching for his abducted son and missing wife. Warning: Witchcraft might be involved. Based on the 2017 novel by Victor LaValle.
