![]() ![]() Where to watch: Available to stream on Netflix Image: Sony Pictures Jane Foster, largely absent from the franchise for the better part of a decade, has a lot of fun relishing her new godlike powers, but there’s a tension between her newfound superhuman life and her dire normal one, and the film is too glib to sustain the tonal whiplash between the two. Thor is strangely inconsistent throughout the film - the Thor at the beginning of the movie is different from the Thor who appears 20 minutes later, who is also different from the Thor we say goodbye to again when the credits roll. Unfortunately, what might have been a terrific road-trip film is undercut by characters who somehow lost their entire personalities after Thanos’ snap. Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, and Natalie Portman (making her long-awaited return to the MCU) all reprise their roles from the franchise, while Christian Bale and Russell Crowe join in on the fun. Taika Waititi returns to the Thor franchise after the success of Thor: Ragnarok, this time writing as well as directing. ![]() Where to watch: Available to stream on Disney Plus Image: Marvel Studios Here’s everything new you can watch at home this weekend.

He’s in a relentless pursuit to find a product-market fit for his ideas and passions. And it’s fun to watch him go after it, and it’s fun to try to help guide his unbridled energy.īut the best part of all was watching Lloyd come to the realization that some pivots were necessary to make his idea ultimately scalable. Most entrepreneurs fall in love with their solutions. But Lloyd learned to fall in love instead with the customer’s problem, which is the biggest thing we teach at WashU Olin. And it’s not easy to pivot-but Lloyd did. Modern entrepreneurship is about iteration and listening to feedback. Watching Lloyd do both has been a joy and pleasure, making him an invaluable member of the class of 2022.This week has plenty of new movies premiering for home viewing. “Lloyd is all in on entrepreneurship. Even before he was formally accepted at WashU Olin, he found his way into my office hours, sought advice, and put my and other advisors’ suggestions to work. What made Lloyd such an invaluable addition to the Class of 2022? ![]() When I think of business decisions, whatever they may be, I think about what I’ll do 10 years from now as opposed to my current circumstances. How has the pandemic changed your view of a career? The pandemic has helped me think of the long term. What are the top two items on your professional bucket list? To take a company public and complete a successful exit/acquisition. He also emphasized how much smarter I would be upon my graduation.

What surprised you the most about business school? What surprised me the most is how diverse my cohort was. I’d say that Harvard is the WashU of the East Coast! What is the biggest myth about your school? WashU is often called the Harvard of the Midwest. I would go back and take an operations or accounting class just to have a new perspective and meet new people.
