Media Type: TV Series

Season: 1

Episode Count 6

Release Year: 2011-2016

Creators: Becky Sloan, Joe Pelling

Production Companies: THIS IS IT, Blink Industries

Original Network: YouTube

Finished Watching: 25th September 2022

My Rating: 9/10

When I first found out about this show in the early 2010s, I chose to avoid it since at the time I hadn't seen any psychological horror shows so I didn't know if I'd like it or not. Since then however, I have seen some so I chose to watch it and I'd have to say I really enjoyed it. I felt like the surreal humour in the show was really funny and helped to elevate the show when there was no horror present. Speaking of which, the horror was also really good and it made some of the coolest moments of the show whenever it occurred. The usage of gore in the show was also really well executed as there wasn't any gore just for the sake of it and it helped to elevate the horror. The puppeteering and animation were exceptional as well. The characters were all really fun and had their own distinctive personalities. The only problem with the show to me was that some of the episodes had very little horror though they were still entertaining. I would certainly watch all of these again though I need to give the Channel 4 show another try as I stopped watching it because of a lack of horror.

The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special Review

Media Name:  The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special Media Type: TV Special Series: MCU Release Year: 2022 Special Director:  James Gunn Production Company:  Marvel Studios English Network:  Disney+ Runtime: 42 Minutes Finished Watching: 25th November 2022 My Rating: 8/10 Given how much I like the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, I was really excited for this special. I'd have to say that it delivered. I found it to be really funny with the plot of Drax and Mantis kidnapping Kevin Bacon especially being amusing. The acting was really great as well. The CGI was surprisingly great given how CGI in other phase 3 MCU content has looked. The writing was also really good and the special was sometimes emotional. The only bad thing was the rotoscoped 2D animation for the beginning and ending which should have just been live-action in my opinion. Overall, this was a great TV special and gives the MCU a sign of hope.

Genndy Tartakovski's Primal Season 2 Review [SPOILERS]

  Media Name: Genndy Tartakovski's Primal Media Type: TV Series Season: 2 Episode Count 10 Release Year: 2022 Creator: Genndy Tartakovski Production Companies: Cartoon Network Studios, Williams Street  Original Network: [adult swim] Finished Watching: 17th September 2022 My Rating: 9/10 I first watched season 1 around when the first season had aired half of its episodes and I absolutely loved it just like I did for some of Genndy Tartakovski's other shows like Samurai Jack and Sym-Bionic Titan. So when I heard that there was gonna be a second season, I was really hyped and I would have to say that it definitely delivered. I enjoy shows which utilize gore quite a bit without forcing it and I'd say this season definitely succeeded with that. The characters were also really good in the series even though there was barely any English dialogue. The episode "The Primal Theory" was really bizarre and out of place but still a great episode nonetheless. The animation was a...

Planes, Trains and Automobiles Review

Media Name: Planes, Trains and Automobiles Media Type: Movie Release Year: 1987 Director:  John Hughes Production Companies:  Hughes Entertainment Distributor:  Paramount Pictures Runtime: 1 hour 32 minutes Finished Watching: 4th December 2022 My Rating: 8/10 I ended up watching this movie since my dad said that it was "Christmassy" despite being set at Thanksgiving. I would have to say that this is a really good movie that's not for me. The writing was really good and I felt that the chemistry between Neal and Del was really good. I found some of the jokes to be really funny as well. I also found some of the scenes to be emotional. This might be personal bias because I grew up with the show, but I found The Flintstones scene to be really funny. There were some flaws that prevented me from enjoying the movie as much as I wanted to though. I found it to be really slowly paced to the point of where it felt like it was on for way longer than 90 minutes. While Neal being a je...
