Chad & JT Go Deep (2022)

What up

[10/10 · 24 August 2022]

Honestly the initial set up might put off a few people but these guys are really funny, and made something special here I think. I'm all for any one pushing out of YouTube in to the stage and these guys where truly grass roots. They saw an opportunity and snatched it through some hard work and serious stoke.

I have never seen a show that uses Public access television as a medium to move the plot, but they pull it off fantastically. For that alone this is worth a watch. But more than that there are some sketches they pull off that are on par with stuff Nathan Fielder or Sasha baron Coen do at there best.

A few bits in the middle miss but the over arching themes and plot hold it together, and all I really remember was the parts I enjoyed.

I desperately hope this dose well. They deserve nothing but another season.

The G Word with Adam Conover (2022)

A sad reminder.

[8/10 · 27 May 2022]

It's always interesting to see how many issues we are dealing with didn't come form a long natural history of man. It was like 3 dudes in the 70s and 80s who pretty much ruined it for everyone.

It's like a 7/10 but I gave it a 10 to offset to bootlicking in the reviews. Ronald Wilson Reagan was the the devil. 666.

The Matrix Resurrections (I) (2021)

Another Warner brother cash grab disguised as nostalgia.

[4/10 · 23 December 2021]

There is a scene in this film where somebody tells someone he has to make a fourth matrix film. And he goes "feels like a cash grab"

Then they talk about how wonderful Warner Bros is making this and space jam 2 fairly even in my eyes as far as studio interventions.

Some questions don't need to have answers.

Turning Point: 9/11 and the War on Terror (2021)

Netflix's documentarys need to be better.

[3/10 · 5 September 2021]

I've noticed a recent trend in Netflix documentaries to sort of, it's not enough to just be a good documentary on Netflix these days you have to create a buzz so that you'll trend in the office space and get more views. As a result you can never have a single hour and a half documentary on an interesting topic you have to break it up into five-part hour long series.

They want it to feel real and grounded so they show footage of Tower jumpers slamming in to the ground, but it's so overproduced and hyper-edited that it just feels disingenuous. The music is painfully generic. The compositive archival footage is nice, literally everything else feels like the same team that did American vandal talking about 9/11 it's kind of gross.

The Tomorrow War (2021)

Dumb action movies don't have to be bad, this one is.

[2/10 · 7 July 2021]

I came into this with no expectations thinking it would be a dumb time travel action movie, with a passable performance from Pratt and some comedic supporting actors. We got was maybe one of the stupidest plot lines I've ever seen in my entire life. It went from being kind of funny to somewhat annoying to outright flabbergasting in the course of a half an hour.

They're just so many decisions made within the movie that just make absolutely no sense. Everything about it feels like somebody just thought of an idea and ran with it and no one really thinking about what it would mean for the story at Large.

Even the ending just felt super unsatisfying like they killed the aliens but according to the president whoever the fact I was the war is still ending and no One believes Chris Pratt no one's seen the monsters because they refused to show footage from the future so all they're left with is Chris pratt's word that he stopped the future war.

There's a good movie in here somewhere but it just doesn't translate. Take an action scene for example pratantine find an alien down the street attacking a group of soldiers and immediately opened fire. The aliens react and start approaching as Pratt in teen move up using suppressive fire on their assault rifles that literally never run out of ammo. And then finally one gets close enough for Pratt to hit it with an ax. And while that sounds cool on paper in reality it's a 3 minute scene of 17 people shooting fully automatic rifles at one alien as it runs down the street and finally succumbs to a haymaker from our lead character. It's like they didn't think about how the scene would feel or what that means as far as how tough the aliens are because in reality they're either bullet sponges or if they're in a situation where they need to die you can just do a short burst and they fall over. It really feels like they just wrote the script without really thinking about anything that they were doing.

Pass unless you are super bored.
