The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fanmade productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.
In this edition, Warner Bros. Pictures reveals the impressive digital effects used to create some of the sets, creatures, and spells of the
Harry Potter franchise. Plus, quick-draw world champion
Nicole “Fastdraw” Franks rates the realism of gunslinging scenes in movies and TV shows like
Django Unchained and
I believe in
Ted Lasso. Like the titular character does on the Apple TV+ series, I also want someone to bring me delicious cookies at the start of every work day. Well, not cookies. Biscuits. Every single time Ted arrived for “Biscuits with the Boss” and Rebecca reacted like a starving wolf standing over a fresh kill I felt that. I need that. But I don’t need to hire the world’s nicest person to coach my soccer/football team to get my hands on some. One of our favorite YouTube chefs, Andrew Rea of
Binging With Babish, has a new video showing how we can make them at home.

Almost anything that reaches massive popularity eventually encounters a backlash it s too common, it s too cliche, it s just not cool anymore.
Case in point: Chocolate lava cake.
Mention this ubiquitous dessert, whose heyday was the 80s and 90s but is still going strong, and plenty of people will roll their eyes. Perhaps it jumped the shark long before it started showing up on chain restaurant menus or as middle school chorus fundraisers, as I seem to recall. But perhaps I don t care! Perhaps it s popular for a reason, or even many reasons!

Streaming service giants like Netflix and Disney+ offer a vast array of entertainment geared specifically to keep our eyes glued to our screens â both big and pocket-sized â at all hours of the day like weâre living in some Orwellian dystopia⦠of course it
is still 2020 for a couple more weeks.
And while YouTube is part of Googleâs tech giant umbrella, it still technically counts as one of the largest streaming services on the planet. At any given time, there are more than two billion people watching something on the platform; more than 70% is done from a mobile device.
