What I Watched on TV in March

-

 The other night, I dreamt about watching TV. It was so detailed that when I woke up I got on IMDb to make sure I didn't just see a preview somewhere and replayed it in my mind. I even dreamed about blogging it. It was about a young boy in Louisiana who did ballet. No one made fun of him for dancing like other shows have, it was just a very normal thing. He and his friends all went to ballet competitions, and of course they had family drama. A lot of it was about the kids. The later seasons jumped forward and they were in England dancing professionally. It was called "Everything is Gonna Be Alright."

Here's what I actually watched on TV, and not just my getting used to new anxiety medication weird dreams. 


The Falcon and the Winter Soldier - I love Bucky and Sam's rapport and I didn't realize how much I missed this. It had a good start, but the second episode was when it really got going and it made me laugh so hard. I'm very grateful for these Marvel TV shows to tide us over while we wait for theaters to be safe again.


The Great - I had Hulu temporarily and decided to check this show out after hearing so many people talk about it. I was not expecting it to be so funny and raunchy. Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult are amazing in this. I'll definitely check out the second season when I get Hulu back again.


Attack on Titan - By the time this is posted, I'm sure spoilers of the manga's last chapter will hit the internet. It's pretty bittersweet. As for the show, I'm loving seeing these chaptered animated. Levi's second fight with Zeke was as epic as I hoped it would be, and I liked seeing that final talk Eren, Armin and Mikasa have animated. 


Allen v Farrow - Most documentaries about known cases like this have some time of "smoking gun" and I was wondering what this was going to be. Turns out, it was the train set. The train set Dylan said she was playing with as she was being assaulted, and the one her brother Moses denied ever having. It showed multiple police reports and therapy sessions with Dylan mentioning it. I really hope those actors that came to Allen's defense rethink their stance after seeing this. They should have already, but with this out there I hope they get that pressure again. Looking at you, Scarlett Johansson.

    I'm one episode behind on Falcon and the Winter Soldier but oh, that second episode was brilliant. The couples therapy scene was so funny I had to rewind it and watch it again straight away.

      Yes! I loved the 3rd episode even more. I hope you enjoy it too.

    I love The Falcon and the Winter Soldier already as that third episode was great. Plus, Zemo is fucking cool. Next to Thanos, he's the best villain of the MCU. Mainly because he's just pimpin' and who knew he's a good dancer.

    I'd rather be him than.... Party City Cap. I hate that guy.

      Zemo was fantastic! I wasn't expecting them to go in that direction with him so it was so much fun.

      "Do you know who I am?!" Steve would never.

      "No and I don't care!" I hope Walker gets a massive beatdown from Sam, Bucky, Sharon, and everyone who knew Cap, had people associated with Cap, and had some kind of connection with Cap such as that waitress in The Avengers. Not since Dolores Umbridge have I hated a character more than anything.

      Wyatt Russell is doing a great job with him. It's pretty bold to accept a role that you know everyone is going to hate immediately. lol

    So, turns out the second season of "Everything is Gonna be Alright' is even better than the first...wait, what?

    Sorry, but that's fantastic that you are even dreaming of detailed show arcs, because you are an absolute machine with watching and reviewing all things tv. So great.

    As for these shows, my wife and I weren't all that excited to return to Falcon and WS (she was obsessed with WandaVision), but I will definitely double back.

    We have Hulu, so I might swing by The Great. Movie watching has pretty much stopped entirely, so a new show is always a welcome thing - thanks for the heads up.

    Fantastic as always, Brittani.

      God, I've been having the weirdest dreams lately. Sometimes I wake up exhausted because wtf is my brain doing.

      The Great is hilarious. I did not expect that show to be like that at all, I hope you both like it. I'm so happy your wife loved Wandavision!

    Loving The Falcon and The Winter Soldier so far. The first two episodes are my favorites so far. I can't believe it's going to be over in a few weeks after such a long wait.

    My sister loves The Great but I couldn't get into it. Nicholas is amazing though.

      I know! Mackie and Stan have wonderful chemistry together. This 6 weeks is going to go by so fast.

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing ...

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen...

My Favorite Movie Youtube Channels

-

Starting around 2018, I started watching Youtube for more than just movie trailers or music videos whenever a new one dropped. Now I'm in full blown subscription mode and don't bat an eyelash at watching a Youtube video that's over an hour long. I watch Youtube for a few different categories of content, but one of them that I love most is movie/TV essays and commentary, and that's what I'm going to talk about today. Below is a list of my favorite movie related Youtube channels. Let me know if you're familiar with them too, or if you have any you'd like to recommend to me.  Double Toasted - I'm honestly surprised this channel isn't bigger. I first came across Korey and Martin when they reviewed War for the Planet of the Apes a few months before it hit theaters and I thought they were hysterical. While their full length videos stream on Twitch, they often upload their movie reviews and commentary on youtube and they're always hilarious. They've...
