Futurama: All the Way Down (2023)
Better Sci-Fi than anything out there
OK, small spoiler warning ...
Futurama (in general) and especially this last season is giving us better sci-fi than anything released in the last few years (and possibly more).
Their explanation of simulation theory is probably the most fun and accurate I've ever seen (meaning accessible to anyone watching without turning into a TED talk).
Keep it up guys, always love when Futurama comes back, you are too smart and too much fun to keep you down!! Thanks for all the laughter over the years, it's crazy to think the first episode aired in 1999!!! You still got it and got even better! Can't wait what you come up with next! The writing is way smarter than almost anything out there!
The Orville: Midnight Blue (2022)
Wow, so original.
Totally predictable episode, yet another "family" drama with a backdrop of a sci-fi show.
I challenge all the BOTS that left all the other reviews here. Because I refuse to believe that people are so easily pleased with this sad shadow of its former self.
Bill Burr Presents: Friends Who Kill (2022)
Michelle Wolf? Really?
I can't believe Michelle Wolf is still doing comedy.
I saw her live in Dublin, Ireland, alongside John Stewart and Dave Chapelle.
It's puzzling to me, that even real masters of this craft, like Dave, Bill and John are, would associate themselves with a hack like her.
During her show in Dublin, I could hear groans from the audience, as she was relentlessly drilling her stale material into us.
The overplayed, wanna be woke and relevant unfunny tropes. She could be best friends with Amy Schumer.
When she got her own show on Netflix, she was so bad it was unbelievable. Messing up her own jokes and many times just unfunny. I might not get her comedy, but it was unprofessional and absolutely no wonder her show got cancelled.
In live performances I feel like she leans even more into her screechy voice.
In this show, most comedians don't get many laughs, but her part is just sad, with almost no laughter, and if there is one, it's mild at best.
Sorry Bill...have you seen her perform before this??
American Pie (1999)
Wow... this one hasn't aged well
Those of us who were in our teens or early twenties when this came out will have very mixed feelings re-watching this nowadays. I was in my late teens when American Pie was released and I remember it as a cheesy sex comedy that was a bit crude but with some funny moments. It came out just before the internet took off, before the age of p**nhub and such and it makes sense that it was such a hit.
But watching it nowadays, I can't believe what movies were able to get away with back then. It is almost a testament to how much movies and their audiences evolved over the last 20 years. The current era of cancel culture is maybe not ideal, but no matter what, I am quite happy that we have left movies like this one behind.
It might be fun to re-watch this movie as an interesting look back and maybe even have a few laughs, but most likely you will feel like going to a museum... and rightly so.
Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
The product placement and marketing in this one is just too much
The heavy handed brand marketing and product placement is just off putting.
Considering this is aimed at children (and their parents) it's even more evil.
I don't remember the last time I was so insulted by being shamelessly fed advertising while paying to watch a movie.
Without all that ...it's an average movie.
Another Life (2019)
An insult to sci-fi genre
An insult to anyone who likes the sci-fi genre or even just moderately written show.
No need to explain any further. Just the first episode has so much stupid, illogical and completely implausible in it, that it would be a waste of your time and mine to even start to untangle this clusterfxxk of a show.
Stay away ...or watch the first episode...on your own peril.
