What I watched on TV in September

-

Another month has gone by and we've officially entered Halloween season! I normally change up the look of my blog for this but I've been traveling a lot for work lately and will be well into October. So it might just stay as is. But for now, here's what I've been watching on the small screen last month!


House of the Dragon - I'm in full Game of Thrones nostalgia mode and have been really enjoying this so far. As of me writing this, we're only one episode in with the cast switch so we'll see how this goes. I'm really going to miss Milly as Rhaenyra. She was wonderful. 


The Rings of Power - Can we give this show credit on their lighting? I can actually see what's happening during their night fights! I hope the people making the Star Wars series take note of this. I'm glad some of the stories have started to consolidate so we can spend a bit more time with the Harfoots. They get put on the back burner but I'm so intrigued about what's going on with them. 


Hacks - Slowly but surely, we're watching this. I normally would've had this done by now but it's one my husband and I watch together and we haven't had the time. 


Andor - The first three episodes have dropped, and it's very far removed from legacy Star Wars which is a nice change. There's so many stories in this universe to tell without bringing it back to the Skywalkers. 


She-Hulk - Still enjoying this much more than Ms Marvel. The last two episodes have been complete filler but they are FUN filler. 


Dahmer - After reading the raves Evan Peter was getting for this, I decided to start it. I've only seen one and a half episodes so far, but it's very tense and creepy. I'll hopefully finish this up in October. 


The Handmaid's Tale - Serena needs to GO. She's a great villain but I am cheering for her downfall. I've been really captivated by this season so far.

    My wife is watching Dahmer right now. I don't know if "enjoying" is the right word to use for it, but she is continuing to watch it.

    You know I have not seen any of these...lol. I can't watch anything on Dahmer because of how disgusting he was. It's strange because I can watch Gacy, Bundy etc...but not this F(&^. I remember seeing his dad on Larry King Live and how bad I felt for this man. I would love to see Hacks because I like Jean Smart.

      Bundy is one I stay away from. I hate how people still talk about him being "good looking" and charasmatic. He wasn't. He was plain AF and that's why it was so hard to catch him. Because he was unremarkable.

    So far, I like Andor as I think it is taking a slow-burn with what it is trying to do which is a good thing. I'm totally loving She-Hulk as I loved that last episode with C/D-level villains (though they're really just good guys who have done bad things but are trying to redeem themselves) helping Jen. I really hate that Josh guy. I would've join those guys in kicking his ass. I can't believe there's a bunch of guys really hating this show. It must be their time of the month.

    I have no interest in Dahmer though I do like Evan Peters. I just hate Ryan Murphy in general as I think he's an overrated, untalented piece of shit.

      yes! I loved that therapy session with the low tier characters. It was so funny. Ryan Murphy is very overrated, I don't often bother with his stuff but had to do this for Peters.

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...
