With Glass Onion: A Knives Out Story hitting theaters this week we wanted to provide a watchlist of some of our favorite murder mysteries and whodunnits. These are the perfect movies to get you in the mood to question the motives of everyone around you right before the family comes over for Thanksgiving dinner.

The post 6 Murder Mysteries to Watch Before Glass Onion appeared first on Nerdist.

Good evening, everyone! Today I want to discuss the 3 football games that will be playing starting tomorrow like they always do every time there is Thanksgiving tradition. Here are which teams will be playing:

1.Buffalo Bills

2. Detroit Lions

3. Dallas Cowboys

4. New York Giants

5. New England Patriots

6. Minnesota Vikings

There are a total of 6 teams playing tomorrow. Now, I will go over all three games in order. The first game will be the Bills @Lions game. Both of these teams are coming off with the wins last week. I think the Bills will take down the Lions 31-24. The next game is the Giants @Cowboys game, the divisional rivalries. I think this should be a really good game. The Giants are coming off with the brutal loss to the Lions, the game that was supposed to be an easy win for them. The Cowboys are coming off with a blowout win over the Vikings. I actually think the Giants will barely beat the Cowboys 24-21. The last game is the Patriots @Vikings game. The Patriots are coming off with a narrow victory over the Jets and the Vikings are coming off with the embarrassing loss to the Cowboys. I think the Vikings will bounce back and beat the Patriots 27-17.

So, there you go folks! What do you guys think about the Thanksgiving football game picks?! I would love to hear lots of comments, thoughts, opinions, questions, or concerns down below! Are you ready to watch some Thanksgiving football?!

Stay tuned for NFL updates.

Universal’s Fast and Furious saga be damned; Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is the franchise that’s really about family. They don’t even need a six pack of Corona! Through two named films and Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, the Guardians have proven that their bonds are stronger than blood. This continues in a big way in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Not only is it all about bringing the joy of the yuletide season to deep space, it expands what we know about the franchise’s lead character. Yes, Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, has a big realization.

In order to discuss this, we’ll have to spoil the special. But it’s only 45 minutes; go watch on Disney+ and then come back!

While most of this special is just good, silly fun, we do get a few revelations. One is that the Guardians now own Knowhere, having purchased it from the Collector. So they’re landlords now. The rent is too high, Peter! Another is that Cosmo the dog is now a member of the team, it seems. But the third and largest has to do with Peter’s blood relations.

We know from Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 that Peter’s father was Ego the Living Planet, a real tool of a near-god who was an intergalactic f-boy. The Holiday Special lets us know Ego spilled his egoo closer to home than we thought. Mantis reveals she is also a spawn of Ego, making her Peter’s biological half-sister.

It’s this revelation that causes Mantis to try to give her brother a good and happy Earth Christmas. She and Drax go to Los Angeles, get drunk in bars, and kidnap Kevin Bacon as a present for Star-Lord. This is all in an effort to soften what Mantis thinks will be the unhappy news that she’s his sister. With Gamora gone and Yondu’s questionable parentage, maybe Kevin Bacon can make him happy.

The good news for everybody is that Peter is very happy to have Mantis as his blood family, not just a found one. The special ends with the two of them hugging it out. For Mantis, whom Ego always mistreated, having his offspring embrace her fully is a pretty great present too.

We can’t wait to see more of this family dynamic in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 next May.

With the NFL Playoffs looming and the pressures of Callie’s new commitment to her friends on the robotics team mounting, the two must forge ahead to keep the magic a secret as they juggle the highs and lows of their newfound success, all as they rediscover what it really means to be a family.
