It's not quite Mother's Day, but it sure feels like it this week as dive headlong into a theatrical double feature for our main reviews this week. But first, two news stories detailing the new Academy diversity requirements and Netflix's addiction to conspiracy and revisionism. The Watchlist is light, but weighty as we diagnose what went wrong with season 3 of "The Mandalorian" and delight in the chaotic energy of Prime's "Dead Ringers" Limited Series. Here's a reminder to call your mother and buy her a card, otherwise you may wind up like the kids in "Evil Dead Rise" or even worse, turn out like "Beau is Afraid" director Ari Aster.
