What I Watched on TV in October

-

I had planned to watch more horror series this month but I didn't get as many in as I wanted too. Still, I was busy! Here's what my October watch list was like.


Ted Lasso - Season two came and went far too fast and this is officially a Nate Hate blog. Fuck that dude, forever


The Morning Show - I feel like I can safely say about 5 episodes in that season 2 is a huge flop. I still have no interest in COVID-19 stories, and everything that has happened so far seems so forced and silly. I'm still watching, but I can't say I'm enjoying it. 


Wolf Boy and the Everything Factory - The animation continues to be brilliant in this show. The plot is very irreverent, which works in its own way. I hope it gets another season and some more exposure. My son and I are enjoying watching this together.


Mr. Corman - As much as I want Joseph Gordon-Levitt to succeed in everything, this show is not getting picked up for a second season and it's easy to see why. I just didn't love it. Hopefully he moves on to bigger and better things.


What We Do In The Shadows - I'm finally caught up with this show in real time, and as I'm typing this post, I've finished the season 3 finale and....lol what? 


Squid Game - The internet made me watch it, and man was this gory. I was really invested in the story and the brutality of it, but the final shot of this series was beyond annoying. I'm sure some people will love it, and it sets up a second season if they decide to do it, but right now I'm not interested. 


Scenes From A Marriage - I've never rooted for people to sign divorce papers as much as I did this couple, but those sex scenes were hot...so I guess that makes up for it? I thought this was well done. It was different enough from its Swedish counterpart where I didn't have to constantly compare it. 


Succession - I'm so glad this is back! It came out swinging. I know they aren't the most "exciting" episodes but seeing the Roy family fight with each other is never not entertaining to me.


Insecure - I'm not ready to say goodbye to Insecure, which started its finale season. Issa Rae is such a treasure.

    I love Ted Lasso. What a show that is as I really hate what Nate did in the end as he, Rupert, and West Ham are going to get their asses kicked.

    My mother really likes Acapulco on Apple TV+ as that is damn good show as the last episode was just awesome. I'm also thinking of checking out Dickinson on the same service as I'm glad we have that as I can now watch On the Rocks ASAP.

      I keep forgetting about On The Rocks. I need to watch that because my free subscription ends in a few weeks. lol

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...
