Po (Jack Black) and the Furious Five return in "Kung Fu Panda 4," the latest installment in DreamWorks' long-running series about anthropomorphic animals in a martial arts showdown.

In "Kung Fu Panda 4," bright-eyed, rotund hero Po finds himself at a career crossroads. As he prepares to become the spiritual leader of his hometown, the Valley of Peace, he must relinquish his title of Dragon Warrior, and finding a worthy successor will not be easy. Things take a disastrous turn when a new villain called Chameleon (Viola Davis), who can transform into the forms of Poe's past enemies and mimic their ass-kicking skills, appears. With the help of a new companion, a cunning fox named Jen (Akwafina), Poe embarks on a mission to foil the chameleon's evil plot. [The film initially stumbled at the box office, but may find a new audience with Apple TV Plus.

Starring a stellar cast including Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, John Cena, Ariana DeVos, Samuel L. Jackson, Catherine O'Hara, and Dua Lipa, "Argyle" is about a reclusive writer ( Howard) finds himself caught up in the secret world of espionage when his latest spy novel reflects reality a little too closely. If you liked Vaughn's "Kingsman" series, you can expect "Argyle" to hit many of the same notes with its blend of over-the-top action, fast-talking, and rather questionable CGI.

Honestly, this is a completely selfish choice. Because I watched a frankly unhealthy amount of Adult Swim in high school and college. Metal Caliphs was one of my favorite shows of all of them.

The world's biggest band, Deathrock, has gone on an extended hiatus, and the world's political and economic systems are in turmoil. Naturally, only a face-melting new metal album can stimulate the planet out of financial depression, but when the band finally decides to go on tour again, everything quickly goes to hell. The legendary Metal Caliphate has arrived, and Deathrock must craft a "salvation song" that rocks hard enough to ward off the evil forces that seek to destroy the planet. That is, if the band members can keep their egos, insecurities, and stupidity in check enough to keep from ruining the world. It would be asking too much of these idiots.
