Wkly Hit List is back from its one week break, and here at we're looking forward to whatever comes our way this fall. We're coming off the 150th Episode of FakeTV Box and I'm really hoping we can use the show to cover the 2024 Presidential Election. I've been also working on another a personal project which people will be able to see real soon, and KlicKNet is looking towards another social media platform to make our voice heard around the world, it's the one place that I thought KlicKNet would ever in a million years, and that's TikTok. Details about KlicKNet on TikTok will come at a later time, but now let's focus on what we got cooking in this post. First up as usual, is the 5-Day Rounder; featuring shocking news after shocking news.
Everybody thinks that Pro Wrestling is a Love Story, but what the technical term should really be: CINEMA. Right now, the WWE is on the Road to its next PLE, Bad Blood, featuring CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre in a Hell in a Cell Match and Liv Morgan vs Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Championship. But another big matchup will be Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and Former Undisputed WWE Champion Roman Reigns vs Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu of The Bloodline. Now you might be wondering, what the heck is going on? Why on earth is this match happening? To help you better understand, here's a somewhat cinematic Sneak Peek of the Week, it's promo between Rhodes and Reigns from last night's Friday Night SmackDown on the USA Network. Think of it as a preview of what's to come at Bad Blood.
Our Inside Scoop for the next couple of weeks will be a recap and review of the newest Marvel Television Show on Disney Plus, that being Agatha All Along. We've all been waiting for this series for a very long time, and it picked the right time to come out right around the Halloween Season. So let's look back at what made the first two episodes so special. WARNING: This piece may contain spoilers, so if you haven't seen Agatha All Along Episodes One and Two yet, stop reading now. If you would like to continue at your risk, then be my guest.
The first episode begins three years after the series finale of WandaVision, and Agatha is still under the spell that Wanda cast on her. She has gone from being physically trapped as the sitcom version of Agnes to the much more dramatic Agnes O'Connor, trapped in a crime-noir television series called Agnes of Westview. Basically, it's a parody of Mare of Easttown on HBO and it starts off with Police Detective Agnes O'Connor driving towards the scene of a crime. A woman whose face we cannot see is lying dead on her front and Agnes is trying real hard to figure out who she is. People thinks she's delusional about this case, and how can you blame? She is a witch after all. Pretty soon the FBI gets involved in the form of Federal Agent Rio Vidal who seems to have some sort of history with Agnes, and it's no secret that Agnes hates Agent Vidal, though she can’t remember why.
Just to point out real quick that the citizens of Westview that were featured in WandaVision are back, and we see them have new and different roles in Agatha All Along. Herb aka John is Agnes' partner with the police, Phil aka Harold is the chief of police, his wife Dottie aka Sarah is a librarian, and Norm aka Abilash works in a pawn shop. Agnes' investigation leads her to cross paths with all of these people, and she slowly pieces together her own history under the guise of solving the murder. The checkout card she finds at the crime scene sends her to some fire-torched stacks, with “every last copy” of the book she’s looking for (the title of which makes the acronym DARKHOLD) destroyed. Later, Agnes hears rustling upstairs and finds a mysterious goth teenager frantically jumping out of a bedroom window and attempting to flee. Refusing to let him get away, Agnes runs after him and she catches up when Mrs. Hart aka Sharon Davis hits the teen with her car, a stroke of luck if you ask me.
In the interrogation room, the Teen tells Agnes that he broke into her house searching for a road, although Agnes doesn’t understand that statement, much less the incantation he begins to mutter in another language. Instead, she tries showing him gruesome pictures from the crime scene earlier and demanding to know if he has anything to do with it, but suddenly Agnes see that the photographs have [magically] changed and they are now pictures of flowers. Plus, the one-way mirror next to Agnes keeps has turned into painting. So, Agnes throws Teen in a holding cell and heads to the morgue to try to get answers from the body — and she finally does. The name W. Maximoff appears on a library checkout card next to October 13th, then Agent Vidal comes outta nowhere and tells her that Wanda’s gone, along with the Darkhold. An A. Harkness appears on the spot above Wanda’s name, next to January 21st, and Agatha grows hot, clawing out of her spell — and clawing off all the different decades of clothes she worn in WandaVision with it in a pretty sick sequence.
Agnes finally comes to realize that she is actually the witch Agatha Harkness, she wakes up as herself at her house, completely naked and soon discovers that her powers are gone. She runs outside with no clothes which catches the attention of all her neighbors, and to those who have a problem with a woman being naked in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, had better shut up, they do it with the guys all the time. She runs back inside to find that her witch's liar from WandaVision is simply a regular old basement with nothing but household appliances and her pet bunny, Señor Scratchy. Agatha then finds the Teenage Boy tied up and gagged in her closet, meaning that she kidnapped him in real life instead of arresting him, Suddenly, Agatha gets attacked by Vidal, a fellow witch who is there to kill her. But Agatha convinces Vidal to spare her so she can get her powers back, however, Vidal warns Agatha that the Salem's Seven will soon come after her. The episode ends with Agatha wondering what to do next, especially with the Teenage Boy in her house. I found this episode to be the perfect way to pick up where WandaVision left off and remind viewers the events that occurred at the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It's funny how the episode went from being serious to brining back the comedic twists and turns from WandaVision, because you can that Agatha is hot pocket mad about being under Wanda's spell for three years and comes back with completely powerless. Now on to the second episode.
Picking up where the first episode ended, the Teen reveals that he was the one who freed Agatha from the spell she was under for three years. But every time he tells her his name, his mouth magically disappears and it's honestly kinda creepy when you at how it reappears. Plus, whenever he gives her personal info about himself, his voice is totally muted, seems like someone has gone to a lot of trouble to keeping Agatha from finding out who this mystery boy really is, but true die hard Marvel fans have their own theories about him, more on that next time. Anyway, the episode mainly focuses on Agatha and the Teen trying to find a coven that can help them open a portal to the Witches' Road, where Agatha can restore her power and the teen can get some of his own. It goes without saying that find a coven is not easy for both of them as there are a lot of witches out there who do not like Agatha Harkness.
The first witch on the list is Lilia Calderu, a divination witch who was chased out of every village she passed through for accurately predicting tragedy. She now makes a meager living as a psychic. Next we have Jennifer Kale, a high priestess who specializes in potions and has been magically bound for the past century, we find her in a beauty store showing off one of her probiotic candles to her customers. Then we come to Alice Wu-Gulliver is a Blood Witch, meaning she’s the child of a witch — one who happens to be famous goddess of rock Lorna Wu, who wrote the most famous version of “The Ballad of the Witches’ Road.” All the witches show up to a not-so-fun party at Agatha’s house, complete with a ripped-down sign that the Teen put up and a bunch of granola bars on a stick. It turns out however that they cannot open a portal to the Witches' Road because they are missing a Green Witch. Agatha tries hard to play this off, but the rest of the coven is adamant, because earth magic is arguably the most important skill set to conquer the Road.
It also turns that Vidal is the Green Witch they need to complete the coven, but Agatha decides recruit Sharon Davis in an effort to replace Vidal. She tells Davis who is working in her garden that she's inviting her to a party, this is a really bad idea because Davis ain't no witch. The coven heads down to Agatha’s basement in an attempt to conjure the Witches' Road by holding hands and singing the ballad. We Sharon swinging their hands and skipping excitedly while the rest of the witches get highly emotional over the song; this what you call "Comedy in the Most Darkest Hour." The reason I say dark is because while all of this is taking place, the Teenage Boy discovers that Salem's Seven is right outside and they're heading straight for the coven. At first the coven fails to get the portal open, and then Alice realizes that Agatha lured them down to the basement as bait, she's been trying to get them real angry at her that they’d blast her with enough magic for her to steal. All their fighting leads to the door to the Witches’ Road finally opens, and just as the Salem's Seven have made their way into the house.
The Teenage Boy narrowly survives the sinister figures upstairs, and he runs downstairs just in time to find a set of staircase. He and the Coven make the decision to hurry along through the gate, Agatha shuts the door behind her, which immediately disappears. Some can look at this as an exciting but chilling moment, but you still get the sense that there’s no turning back for any of them. The Witches' Road turns out to be a beautiful sight to behold, the practical sets and effects are incredible, and the magic of television certainly echoes through the viewers' screen much like the magic of that these witches each posses. Now Agatha, the Teen, and the Coven have done what they’ve set out to do, it's time to begin their journey no matter where it might take for the rest of the series. This episode ends with a nice cliffhanger because it makes you wonder if we'll ever see the Salem's Seven again, and what kind of madness lies ahead for the Agatha's coven. We hope to uncover these questions next week after the third episode of Agatha All Along drops on Disney Plus.
