Bullsh*t: The Game Show (2022)
It's all fake
Very disappointed Howie would associate himself with this show. Most of the contestants are professional actors. One guy has 15 credits before this show. Others obviously used it to launch a career. If the contestants are all fake it stinks of rigged winners and prizes. This also makes me reluctant to watch any other Netflix "contest" show. It's fun to cheer for the person off the street. Cheering for people who know ahead of time if they will win is like watching bad wrestling.
Deal or No Deal had real contestants who have no other acting credits attached to them.
It would have been a fun show if not for all the fake people and professional actors. It literally is all bull sh$t. It's also funny that I can't mention the name of the show in the review because of profanity.
The BFG (2016)
A story justifying child abduction
We watched BFG last night and my mind is still trying to grasp the twisted messages of this movie. If you haven't seen it the basic premise is this. (Spolier) An old guy abducts children. His justification is so they "don't tell his secret". Each child after their abduction ends up getting murdered. He tells the little girl of only one other abducted boy, but remains quiet on the apparent dozens of others as he presents her with the assorted clothing of both boys and girls. Which one can only assume are souvenirs of each dead child, a characteristic pattern of any serial killer. But we are led to believe by a child suffering from Stockholm Syndrome that he is a Big Friendly Giant.
Then there is end of the movie. The British Military captures the bad Giants and takes them to an island where they can't hurt anyone. Sounds like a pleasant ending except when you realize this island is actually Guantanamo bay. Before the attack (which takes place on an unknown foreign country) the queen calls the US president. No contents of the discussion are disclosed and since the US took no part in the attack the logical conclusion is that it was to secure a location for the prisoners since they obviously weren't returned to the UK. This movie is probably the most twisted "kids" movie since the drug scene in the good dinosaur.
