CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard A brand new President of the United States was sworn in this week. The inauguration of President Biden was certainly an interesting affair due to all that came with it taking place during a global pandemic, but the event had some highlights.

CinemaBlend WandaVision has only just begun but its already a show that everybody is talking about. Its the first entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that fans have seen in a year and a half, but its also a very unusual entry that has a compelling mystery at the center of it, surrounded by an absolutely delightful TV sitcom premise that is as funny as it is strange. However, if theres one element that Ive already fallen in love with regarding the sitcom structure of each episode, its the fac...
