Sorry for the delay on this week’s **Episode Review**. I was actually in California when this weekend’s episode of *SNL* aired, which gave me the surreal experience of seeing updates from the **Amy Poehler**\-hosted episode at like 9 p.m. But I wasn’t going to skip this episode. Not with Poehler returning to host, and not so early in this season. I had few doubts about Poehler hosting *SNL*. She’s a legendary cast member — a key figure in *an golden era*\* — and so much would have to go wrong for one of her episodes to actually be bad. With this being only the second episode in Season 51, though, I was eager to see if the show would do a better job at figuring out what it looks like in the wake of losing both **Heidi Gardner** and **Ego Nwodim** — departures that left *SNL* without strong female leads — and as it integrated four new cast members and **Ben Marshall**’s shift from Please Don’t Destroy.

Instead, *Tron: Ares* debuted with a disappointing $33.2 million opening this past weekend. That’s less than the $44 million that *Tron: Legacy* opened with back in 2010\. So now it appears that the Tron franchise is dead. “No one asked for this reboot,” a source told *The Hollywood Reporter*. “If you say, ‘*Tron: Ares* is good, we just needed a different actor,’ you’re deluding yourself.” OK, first off, *Tron: Ares* isn’t a reboot. It’s a sequel. And second, people were asking for a *Tron: Legacy* sequel! Fans of that film spent a decade hoping to see that story from that film, starring **Garrett Hedlund** and **Olivia Wilde**, continued in another film. *Tron: Legacy* director **Joseph Kosinski** even had *Tron: Ascension* in motion before Disney pulled the plug. I just don’t buy that the *Tron* franchise was dead on arrival when it comes to the potential of a third film.

Sure, they might add some green dye to Snickers and Twix or give M&M’s a bit of pumpkin pie flavoring, but these options don’t disappear from shelves after the calendar turns to Nov. 1. If you want candy corn, though, you better buy some when it pops into stores in late September and early October. Once Halloween is over, candy corn is gone. During its limited window of availability each year, you don’t want to accidentally buy the wrong kind of candy corn, which is why **Snackology** is here to help you figure out the perfect kind of candy corn (and candy corn-adjacent candy) to pick up this October.
