Lessons in Chemistry Premieres Globally Friday, October 13 on Apple TV+

Apple TV+ revealed the trailer for “Lessons in Chemistry,” the highly anticipated, eight-episode limited series starring and executive produced by Academy Award-winner Brie Larson (“Captain Marvel,” “Room”). Based on the best-selling novel from author, science editor and copywriter Bonnie Garmus, “Lessons in Chemistry” will make its global debut on Friday, October 13, 2023 on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes, and new episodes will debut weekly, every Friday through November 24, 2023.

Set in the early 1950s, “Lessons in Chemistry” follows Elizabeth Zott (played by Larson), whose dream of being a scientist is put on hold in a patriarchal society. When Elizabeth finds herself fired from her lab, she accepts a job as a host on a TV cooking show, and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives — and the men who are suddenly listening — a lot more than recipes.

Starring alongside Larson are Lewis Pullman (“Top Gun: Maverick,” “Outer Range”), NAACP Image Award-winner Aja Naomi King (“How to Get Away with Murder,” “The Birth of a Nation”), Stephanie Koenig (“The Flight Attendant,” “The Offer”), Kevin Sussman (The Big Bang Theory,” “The Dropout”), Patrick Walker (“Gaslit,” “The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey”), and Thomas Mann (“Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty,” “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”).

“Lessons in Chemistry” is produced for Apple TV+ by Apple Studios. Seven-time Emmy Award-nominee Lee Eisenberg (“WeCrashed,” “Little America”) serves as showrunner. Academy Award-nominee Susannah Grant (“Unbelievable,” “Erin Brockovich”) executive produces alongside Larson, and Michael Costigan and Jason Bateman executive produce for Aggregate Films. Sarah Adina Smith (“Hanna,” “Looking for Alaska”) serves as director and executive producer of the first two episodes. Natalie Sandy executive produces through Piece of Work Entertainment alongside Eisenberg. Louise Shore also serves as executive producer.

Captain Marvel Hype Train!

With a month to go, Geek Hash has hopped aboard the Captain Marvel hype train! If the new Super Bowl spot wasn’t enough for fans, toy shelves are now being filled with Captain Marvel merchandise. Toys, tees, comics, and more have been popping up everywhere since the beginning of the year. This, for us, means we're gonna be spending our hard earned loot on some new shirts and figures.

The first item we picked up was the new 12" Captain Marvel figure. The figure looks great for the $12.99 price point. Like the basic 12" Marvel figure line and their 5-points of articulation, this figures poseability also leaves a lot to be desired. The 12" DC line does a lot better with their articulation for the same $9.99 price point. But despite that, the figure looks awesome.

With a slightly higher price than the basic 12" line, this figure features rooted hair, removable energy fists, and a removable belt. The face sculpt looks It's also the same size as the current Marvel Rising line of figures for those that collect that line.

Next up is the 3 3/4" Captain Marvel Funko POP! figure. There are several versions of her available in the line, but we went with the common figure in her red and blue costume. There's also a chase variant available with her helmet and mohawk. This one comes in a dynamic pose and awesome sculpt. We're definitely going to be picking up the Nick Fury, Goose, Talos, and the Hot Topic exclusive Captain Marvel soon!
