The Independent (US) and My Mother Lode also include reviews of 'Scary Movie' by AP's Mark Kennedy, describing it as 'a pastiche of loosely tied skits that riff off current and past horror movies as well as topical events like ICE raids and the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef.' The same two outlets also quote Kennedy's review of 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu' as an 'overlong and overviolent chapter, which relies on too many computer effects and exposes the limits of puppetry.' ## What the coverage left out None of the left- or centre-rated reports below mention the video game releases 'The Blood of Dawnwalker' or 'Onimusha: Way of the Sword'. ## Who covered it Shares of the 7 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 57% (4) - Centre: 43% (3) - Right: 0% (0) 1 of 8 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.

These reports included details about the film's plot, following Din Djarin and Grogu on a mission. They also highlighted the return of the Wayans in 'Scary Movie' on Paramount+ and mentioned new albums from Ellie Goulding and Natalie Imbruglia. Both The Independent and The Independent (US) included reviews from AP's Mark Kennedy for 'Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu' and 'Scary Movie,' quoting his descriptions of the film and the spoof. ### Centre - The centre-rated reports from My Mother Lode, Ottumwa Courier, and Yakima Herald-Republic focused on the range of new streaming content available this week.
