Dur­ing World War II, Walt Dis­ney entered into a con­tract with the US gov­ern­ment to devel­op 32 ani­mat­ed shorts. Near­ly bank­rupt­ed by Fan­ta­sia (1940), Dis­ney need­ed to refill its cof­fers, and mak­ing Amer­i­can pro­pa­gan­da films did­n’t seem like a bad way to do it. On numer­ous occa­sions, Don­ald Duck was called upon to deliv­er moral mes­sages to domes­tic audi­ences (see The Spir­it of ’43 and Der Fuehrer’s Face). But that was­n’t the case with Edu­ca­tion for Death: The Mak­ing of the Nazi, a film shown in U.S. movie the­aters in 1943. Based on a book writ­ten by Gre­gor Ziemer, this ani­mat­ed short used a…

“Andor” opens its second season with a micro version of what it does so well: a scene of sharp intellect about becoming who you are when you stand up for what you believe in, before pivoting to a larger-than-life “Star Wars Action Sequence” that comes out of nowhere and unfolds unexpectedly. It’s a great ten-minute season overture: Messaging that feels timelier than ever blended into grandiose sci-fi action storytelling that’s riveting within its own universe. This 12-episode arc, which really unfolds more like four interconnected feature films, is the best season of television so far this year, and one of…

Last month, a video was trending on social media showing a Canadian woman explaining that she had a 13-month wait for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test to check for a brain tumor. On X, formerly known as Twitter, community notes popped up to say that the video was misleading. “Priority is decided by physicians, not the province,” wrote one commenter. Another noted that wait times did vary by province.
