In this week’s episode we’re back with our recaps of The Handmaid’s Tale. In its final season, we will recap each and every episode.

This week we are recapping episode 606 of the series.

Based on the best-selling novel by Margaret Atwood, this series is set in Gilead, a totalitarian society in what used to be part of the United States. Gilead is ruled by a fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state, and is faced with environmental disasters and a plummeting birth rate. In a desperate attempt to repopulate a devastated world, the few remaining fertile women are forced into sexual servitude. One of these women, Offred, is determined to survive the terrifying world she lives in, and find the daughter that was taken from her.

Katy Perry took people criticizing her “space” adventure and decided it was best to hate on those angry. The space adventure that helped to rip a hole in the ozone layer and was a joyride for rich women that they all paraded as some kind of win for feminism.

Perry’s fans decided to rent billboard space in Times Square to celebrate the artist. Oh look, another way to waste money that could be used to benefit others instead! In the comments, Perry shared her love for her fans, writing “I’m so grateful for you guys. We’re in this beautiful and wild journey together. I can continue to remain true to myself, heart open and honest especially because of our bond. I love you guys and have grown up together with you and am so excited to see you all over the world this year!”

Reviews dropped for Thunderbolts* today and one thing is clear: We all love feeling like Marvel is back. Well, most of us do. There are some select “fans” on social media angry that *checks notes* women exist in Marvel.

I happened to look at the replies to my social reaction to the film. As someone who cosplays as Yelena Belova and loves the character very much, I was beyond happy to see her shine in Thunderbolts*. While Florence Pugh is the star of the movie, it is a film about the team of anti-heroes that now, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, make up the Thunderbolts. Which, for the most part, is two women and four men.

Tonight’s episode of WWE Raw, airing live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT on Netflix, promises to be a pivotal installment as the fallout from WrestleMania 41 begins to unfold. John Cena made headlines at WrestleMania 41 by defeating Cody Rhodes to secure a record-breaking 17th World Championship. The victory was aided by rapper Travis Scott.

In the women’s division, Liv Morgan, after losing the Women’s Tag Team titles, is also slated for an appearance. BGN got an opportunity to speak to her and her tag team partner Raquel Rodriguez in a one-on-one interview about their dynamic as a team and the history of women’s roles in wrestling.

Check out our interview with the duo below:

One of the most emotional highlights of WrestleMania 41 came when Kofi Kingston, after months of being sidelined by injury and overshadowed in the tag division, captured a surprise win in the Intercontinental Championship ladder match. In a match that saw high-flying chaos and brutal spots, Kofi outlasted fan favorites like Ricochet and Bronson Reed to once again hold singles gold. The crowd erupted as Kingston delivered a poetic Trouble in Paradise from the top of a ladder to seal the win.

BGN also spoke to Kingston in a one-on-one interview about his championship win and had a moment to geek out about what games he’s playing at that moment. You can check out that interview here:

Now with his momentum back, Kingston is set to appear on Raw tonight — possibly to defend his title or address the WWE Universe about what’s next for him and The New Day.

WrestleMania 41 wasn’t just about the main eventers—The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) had one of the most electric performances of the weekend. Competing in the Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Showcase, the Profits delivered a highlight-reel performance, capped by Montez Ford’s jaw-dropping Frog Splash from the top of the ring post to the floor.
