The Marvel Universe expands in a way it hasn’t since 2014’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” with a group of more consciously diverse heroes thrown into a lazy borrowing of classic mythos.

Trina’s menu is pretty much straight-up comfort food that pays smart attention to its vegetarian clientele. The menu rotates some, but most always you’ll find mac ’n’ cheese, fried chicken, and fried chicken and waffles, as well as a stack of burgers and a side-dish list that outpaces the entrées.

These reviews of what’s on the big screen and streaming include plenty of folk horror offerings at The Brattle, including the little-seen “Clearcut,” the 1931 “Dracula” at the Somerville Theatre with live music and a surprisingly so-so “Antlers.” But there’s also plenty more to see on local screens.

With a quaint storefront nestled along Hampshire Street between Inman and Kendall squares, Gypsy Place has that old-school bohemian vibe that used to be the currency of many Cambridge eateries – as well as a fluffy omelet made in a waffle iron and dressed with a mayo ketchup togarashi sauce.

These reviews of what’s on the big screen and streaming include the final offerings at the Independent Film Festival Boston, including Mike Mills’ “C’mon C’mon”; a Halloweenish series of “folk horror” films at The Brattle; and a look at whether the new “Dune: Part One” is worth your 155 minutes.

Fans of Wes Anderson, cinema’s official maestro of all things quirky and twee, may be in for a bit of a letdown with this loving smooch to “The New Yorker” and other intellectually curious magazines of the latter half of the 20th century – i.e., “The Paris Review.”

PlantPub is a cool little eatery in Kendall Square with a select beer and vino menu and satiating comfort food such as burgers, fried chicken sandwiches and pizzas – with no meat anywhere.

These reviews of what’s on the big screen and streaming include offerings from the Independent Film Festival Boston, GlobeDocs, The DocYard and Revolutions Per Minute, as well as glimpses at “Escape From Mogadishu,” “Halloween Kills,” “Fever Dream” and “The Velvet Underground.”

A year ago we cast the spotlight on efforts by bicyclists to help those at risk from Covid-19 and to confront racism. Those ills persist, but so does the work by the Bike Delivery Program and the Cambridge Bike Give Back initiative.

Waypoint, which feels like a cozy yet pleasingly eccentric Spanish tapas joint but specializes in seafood, has clam and smoked whitefish pizzas and mains such as squid ink and Jonah crab pastas – and one of my favorites: Smoked & Salted Peel & Eat Shrimp.
