I loved it all!
TV:
Smartless: On the Road – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Never Have I Ever: Season Four – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Jury Duty – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
The Bear: Season Two – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Other Two: Season Three – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I want the boys of the Smartless podcast to tape every show they ever do live. These three were so hilarious. Jury Duty! What a TV concept! One guy believes he’s a part of a documentary about the jury duty process, but what he doesn’t know is that every person is actually an actor and everything is fake. Crazy stuff unfolds and it was such a fun show to watch. I’ve been a fan of The Other Two since it’s first season on Comedy Central. It was one of the most consistently funny shows I’d ever seen and I’m really sad to see it go. No sophomore slump for The Bear! Incredible show that only got better. I loved learning more about the other people in the restaurant, bringing such great character development. Episode Six was a masterclass—IYKYK.
Movies:
The Little Mermaid – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Moving Parts – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Over the past few months, I’ve become obsessed with Trixie Mattel and Katya from Drag Race and I don’t even watch Drag Race. Thanks to my YouTube recommended, I started watching their web series Uhhnnn and then every episode of their podcast. So of course the next step was Trixie’s documentary Moving Parts. These ladies really make me laugh. Chloe Bailey was a dream in The Little Mermaid. The earnestness in her voice about really getting out to be on her own—not just for the guy. And Melissa McCarthy belted like goddess! I think the extra songs worked really well, and even though I wasn’t a fan of what they did with my favorite song from the original (“Kiss the Girl”), I think this was one of the better live action Disney movies. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was one of the most beautiful animated movies I’d ever seen. How the art styles change from the different timelines, the scenes at the headquarters, and listening to Jake Johnson as an excited dad. I loved it all.
