What I Watched on TV in July

-

July was a very underwhelming month of TV for me. It got better towards the end, but I don't have a lot to talk about this month. Here's what I was watching on the small screen.


Secret Invasion - I watched one episode of this, forgot about it the next, then just continued to put it off. I didn't care for how the first episode ended and it sounds like it doesn't get better. I may download it and watch it on my next plane ride if nothing better comes up, but I don't have high hopes for now.


The Clearing - This ended exactly how I thought it would. Overall, this show as fine. Drags a bit hear and there but makes for a good binge watch even with its faults. 


Betrayal: The Perfect Husband - I binged this all in and one and MAN this guy is a trash fire. Crime docs are easy for me to get through so if you're not into those, this may not be for you. But if you are, this is on Hulu.


What We Do in the Shadows - Now THIS saved July for me. Only the first few episodes are available as of this writing but I love this show and I'm so happy it's back. Guillermo's slow transformation is sending me.

      It's on FX - I think on Friday nights? That's when it shows up on Hulu anyways.

    I really want to see What We Do in the Shadows the series as I've seen a few clips including the one with the meeting of the vampires that included Blade, Paul Reubens, and ERW that his hilarious. I want to watch it as a whole but I don't have F/X anymore as I hope to have Hulu soon.

    As for Secret Invasion, there's some good moments but also some terrible writing including a lame villain that ended up being stupider than I thought. Olivia Colman is the reason to watch the series as she just owns everyone. I think Marvel needs to take a step back or 2 and really do things a little slowly in order to get things right. This and Quantumania are examples of what not to do.

      I think you'd love What We Do in the Shadows, it's so funny. Yeah, Marvel was always going to have a rough time post-Endgame, but they started so strong with Wandavision and have been really inconsistent since. They're lucky Wakanda Forever was so good, that earned them a lot of goodwill. I'm sure Loki season 2 will be good TV as well. They're hurting in that department. (Even though She-Hulk was fun, I wouldn't put it at Wandavision or Loki's level)

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...
