What I Watched on TV In August

-

This month flew by. I did a lot of flying at the beginning of it, which contributed to this list a lot. I also meant to finish Hacks and start Reservation Dogs and I didn't accomplish that. Maybe next month. Here's what I've been watching on the small screen.


Westworld - S4 was definitely better than S3. It ended on a really interesting note and as always, Aaron Paul stole the show. I'm disappointed Thandie and Evan didn't share the screen. Season 5 will be its finale season and I am interested in seeing how they end it all since they appear to be going back to their roots. 


What We Do in the Shadows - The episode where they make fun of home flipping shows is fantastic. This show is so consistently funny, you should watch it if you aren't already.


The Most Hated Man on the Internet - This is a documentary series on Netflix that my sister recommended and it's another reminder of how vast the internet is. The website this doc is about was apparently huge, but I don't recall ever hearing about it. It's disgusting that this guy got away with posting revenge porn for so long. I was very captivated by this, but I felt like some of the interviews could've gone a bit deeper.


She-Hulk - I know the CGI isn't the best but I'm having fun with this so far. My only complaint is the episodes are way too short.


Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist - Another Netflix documentary, this time about the Manty T'eo scandal, which I thought I remembered well but turns out I forgot a LOT. I thought this was fascinating, even if you know the jist of it. The woman who did all this to him showing zero remorse was annoying. 


Super Pumped - I don't have Showtime, but Delta Airlines has the first four episodes of this on their in flight movie list and I love JGL so I had to watch. It was well done. I'm not immediately rushing to get a temporary Showtime subscription to finish it, but he's good at playing an asshole.


Never Seen Again - I got a week trial of Paramount Plus to watch Orphan: First Kill and I let this documentary play as I was working. It's basic true crime. Frustrating because none of these cases are solved, and some of them should be. Some of these cases make me want to go on an internet deep dive. 


House of the Dragon - Game of Thrones is back! Opening theme and all. I'm feeling a lot of nostalgia and am enjoying this so far.

    I totally love She-Hulk: Attorney at Law as I just think it's fun. Yes, some of the visual effects are wobbly at times but I still enjoyed it. Especially the post-credit of the third episode. All of these fanboys complaining. Wow, is it their time of the month? Such pussies.

    I really need to catch up on Westworld and I do need to see What We Do in the Shadows as I have seen a few clips of it and it made me laugh. It's timing that I have a problem with.

      WWWITS is so great. I don't think S4 was their strongest season but the final episode makes me REALLY intrigued for S5.

    I haven't committed to House of the Dragon at this point. I still feel burned by Season 8.

      I'll always feel burned by that, but this at least makes me feel somewhat better.

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 Bobby, and the

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

Please join me in my Favorite Movie Titles Blogathon!

Earlier this week I made a post where I ran through the letters of the alphabet with my favorite movie titles. There were a few people that suggested I turn it into a blogathon, and I've never done that before. So here goes nothing! Since this is my first attempt at a blogathon, it's all pretty simple, and it's hopefully a quick post that everyone can join in. Rules: 1) Going through the alphabet, list your favorite movie title beginning with each letter.  2) You don't have to necessarily  like the movie to use it's title.  3) Use the banner at the top of this post in yours. 4) Please have submissions in by Friday, May 30th*. (But I'll be honest, if you send them to me after that date, I'll still add them to my post.) You can either leave a link to your post in the comments here or tweet it to me, ( @ramblingfilm )  Thanks everyone! :)  *I had to move the date back a week due to Photobucket threatening me with bandwidth issues. But
