Thanksgiving weekend marked the start of a series of heavyweight title prize-fights at your local box office, between both major blockbuster films and smaller Oscar hopefuls. First up, we have two sequels - "Creed II" with Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, and Sylvester Stallone, and "Ralph Breaks the Internet," a sequel to Disney Animation's "Wreck-It Ralph". The SSN Crew reviews both films - in non-spoiler and spoiler review sections, and also discusses the upcoming face-off between "Mary Poppins Returns" and "Aquaman," reviews "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" and Netflix's "She-Ra" and "The Holiday Calendar", and breaks down the shocking allegations against Neil deGrasse Tyson and "Black Lightning" EP Salim Akil.
