Hazbin Hotel (2019)
Worth the wait, watch this if you're not whiny
This show was absolutely worth the wait! First and foremost, the voice actor changes. I was a bit leery at first as the original cast brought amazing life to the characters, but the new cast is phenomenal. The biggest change in character was Cherri Bomb, as she's now Australian. But she grew on me! She's still a spitfire!
The lore behind the show was well built upon, and honestly the only people who I can see having true issue with this are really those who cannot handle seeing a different perspective than their own religious iconography. Stories in religion change all the time. The difference now is it's meant for entertainment, not to build a new religion. It's the same complaint people had on the show Lucifer.
The concept of Hell being a place for redemption and learning error of one's ways isn't a new concept, but the idea of the exorcists is. And the argument that "there's no plot" is completely invalid. This show has an amazing story arch. And I love the idea of showing not just how a soul could be redeemed, but a potential of how an angel can fall.
Romy and Michele: In the Beginning (2005)
This broke my brain.
Did I go into this expecting peak cinema? No. Not a chance in hell. However, I don't believe anything can properly prepare me for the major mark missing in this.
Casting is assbackwards. Katherine Heigl couldn't decide if she was gonna keep doing Romy's weird ass accent or not. There were so many moments where I got more of her character from Wish Upon A Star than I did Romy ' Michele.
Pretty woman was a guilty pleasure they mocked. It wasn't life advice for them. In fact, Michele goes out of her way to try and justify her positive reaction towards the film.
No one in their graduating class gave them any kind of "friendship" so that little valedictorian hugging them was beyond wrong. And you can't tell me that the valedictorian wouldn't have been either Sandy if they went only academically, or Christy if they went popularity. Both of which, that's not what would have happened.
And the original makes a joke about prom and the last day of school being on the same night. And considering Romys obsession with Billy, if they had stayed in Tucson after graduation for three years, she'd've known Billy and Christy were married, which makes that big reveal in the original null and void.
The original was charming, quirky, and very tongue in cheeky poking fun at some basic teen flick tropes. This "prequel" is nothing more than a money grab ABC and Disney tried using the name of a popular movie. I wholeheartedly blame this travesty as to why we don't have an actual sequel yet.
And Alan Cumming is a goddamn gem. You cannot have Romy & Michele without Sandy, dammit.
