Rambling TV: Thoughts on Boardwalk Empire, SHIELD, and Big Bang Theory.

-
I'll be back to writing full recaps when The Walking Dead premieres on October 13th. Until then, here's some thoughts on the shows I watched this week.
 
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D

*They brought in Fury! I figured they would have to sneak some cameos in early. Although it did seem kind of petty that he's bitching about how much fixing that plane is going to cost. Well, I suppose them fixing their entire headquarters after Loki blew it up would put them in a tight spot budget wise.
 
*Skye....
 her storyline already looks predictable. Is she a double agent? Who will she choose? Can SHIELD trust her? She saves their lives. Of course they can trust her! She's one of them now! (I really hope I'm wrong about all of that)
 
*Fitz is still my favorite of all the agents. Did anyone see The Fades? Ian De Caestecker is a hell of an actor. I hope he gets more material to work with besides standard comic relief.
 
*I've watched way too many episodes of Seconds from Disaster to know that if your plane is in a dive, you would point the nose down to correct it, not pull up like they did.
 
*I should stop being so hard on this show, the plot really was interesting. I just want it to stop being so damn campy.
 
 
The Big Bang Theory

 
*Another solid episode from them. Only the theme of the episode was how dumb Penny is compared to everyone else. That's a shame.
 
*But Seriously, none of them noticed they had a huge coin in their pockets?
 
 
Boardwalk Empire
Yes, I know Jimmy is dead. But I thought of him during this episode
 
*I really liked the conversation between Nucky and Willy. Nucky doesn't talk about Mabel very often. I also imagine he had a very similar conversation with Jimmy at one point or another. Actually, I felt like that entire conversation subtly showed how in denial Nucky is over killing Jimmy.
 
*Overkill. You know what I'm talking about.
 
*Van Alden is the last dude on this show who needs to be on coke right now.
 
*WHERE THE FUCK IS RICHARD!? (at least he's in next week's preview)
 
*I can't believe they framed Willy's little poindexter room mate.
 
*that ending!
 

 
It's been one week ABB (After Breaking Bad) I still can't quite cope.

    I really liked new Big Bang, Penny was actually funny with that whole 'Run. Run to India' thing :)

      I loved that too. I loved how pissed they all were at the end of the game.

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...
