What I watched on TV in September

-

We're still in the milder months up north, so that means more time outside for me and less time with my small screen. Though I did manage to watch some great TV this month. 


Ahsoka - I loved this. Since I watched Star Wars Rebels I was probably more invested than those who haven't but overall I thought it was great. It was way too short, and I NEED a second season, but I like what I saw. Personally, I want to see more of Hera and Ezra immediately. Not showing Ezra meeting Jacen was a disappointment because I wanted to be in all my feels. 


Reservation Dogs - I did not have Elora's dad being THAT actor, but what a treat that was. I haven't watched the finale yet since I was traveling over its air date, but I'll be sad to say goodbye to my Rez dogs. 


One Piece - I cannot believe how into this I got. My son is a huge fan of the anime so we decided to watch the condensed live action version as a family and it was great. The actors were awesome, the show was ridiculous and weird and it made me care about everyone. Bring on season 2!


Who Killed Jill Dando - This was a true crime documentary I watched on Netflix. I had no idea who Jill Dando was, so this was all new and even at 3 episodes this felt so unfinished. When the 3rd episode ended, I expected another to play because it ends on such an oblivious note. I hope her family gets closure one day. 


Discussion question: Have you seen Naked Attraction on Max because oh my god, IYKYK.

    Ashoka... what a great show as I hope we have a second season while the ending was... perfect.

      I hope so too, or at least something that focuses on Hera and Ezra now that they're back together because I really need that.

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

-
Image
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...
