Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt, right here on Nerdly. Let’s get straight into it and see what went down in this episode…
Match #1: Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic – Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin def. Axiom and Nathan Frazer The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin punched their ticket to Nxt Vengeance Day with a resounding victory over Axiom and Nathan Frazer in the Semifinals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. The speed of Axiom and Frazer was on full display early, but the “Wolf Dogs” as Breakker likes to call themselves weathered the storm and used their power to gain the advantage. After an incredible back and forth between both teams, Corbin hit Axiom with an End of Days with Breakker following that up with a bone-shattering Spear on Frazer, securing their victory.
My Score: 3.5 out of 5 Match #2: Lash Legend def.

BAFTA Breakthrough is a wonderful Netflix-supported initiative that celebrates the very best of young talent. In its 10th year, the alumni boasts the likes of Florence Pugh, Tom Holland and Letitia Wright – and this year comes a whole host of exciting new names. One of which caught our eye especially, which is Vivian Oparah, who shone in Peckham-set rom-com Rye Lane, which enamoured viewers with its spring-time release. We discuss what it means to her to be named as a BAFTA Breakthrough artist, and naturally we look back to Rye Lane, to talk about shooting the film, and the lasting, indelible impact it has left. She also looks ahead to a future that we’re gonna consider pretty damn bright.

Emily Brontë's 1847 barn burner of a debut (and final) novel, "Wuthering Heights," has the not unique distinction of being an extraordinary piece of writing without any great screen adaptations to its name. Plenty of great books have been adapted into great films.
But even more great literary adaptations litter the studio rubbish heaps, the victims of crippling executive intervention, directors who took a Coppola-like big swing and missed, and most common of all, filmmakers who didn't take a big swing and ended up with perfectly fine, perfectly flat, one-for-one translations that ultimately leave you feeling the story just should have stayed on the page.
Paramount's 1992 take on "Wuthering Heights" ultimately belongs to that last category. And it's a shame, because the project had so much potential. Mirroring its source author, the film was prolific television director Peter Kosminsky's first theatrical feature (and ended up being his last...

Spirits Rangers‘ little heroes will continue protecting California land — and now, water.
Netflix has renewed the history-making animated preschool series for a third season, which will expand on the season two finale’s water protectors storyline. Created by Karissa Valencia, Hollywood’s first California Native showrunner, Spirit Rangers debuted its first 10-episode run in 2020 before releasing a second season in May. Beyond its Native-led cast on and offscreen, the show also features TV’s first all-Indigenous writer’s room and more than 100 Native or Indigenous crew members from the U.S. and other parts of the globe.
The show follows Kodi, Summer and Eddy Skycedar, three Chumash and Cowlitz siblings who, after activating beaded necklaces, can portal and transform to a magical dimension. Once there, their “spirit” ranger forms — a grizzly bear cub, red-tailed hawk and a turtle — use elemental powers to protect their California National Park. The second season...

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first scripted TV series, the Jennifer Lopez-starring action film The Mother and documentaries featuring Anna Nicole Smith and Barack Obama are among the high-profile projects hitting Netflix this month.
At the end of May, the streamer is dropping the Schwarzenegger-starring spy comedy Fubar, in which the former California governor and Top Gun: Maverick’s Monica Barbaro play a father and daughter who discover they’ve each been secretly working as CIA operatives as they’re forced to team up and get to know each other’s true selves.
And earlier this month, in time for Mother’s Day, Lopez plays an assassin who emerges from hiding to protect a daughter she gave up for adoption years earlier in The Mother, streaming this Friday.
