The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)
This Movie is
This movie is exactly what it says it is. Listen carefully and ignore the artifice. Watch and discover for yourself.

30 Rock: TGS Hates Women (2011)
Low-key dark episode
Let me state, up-front, that I love this episode, so what follows is out of sheer love and reverence. This episode was hilariously dark, in a "Michael O'Donahue" sort-of-way. At one point, Kenneth alludes to newsman "Brian Williams" using the skull of former NBC celebrity, and actual chimpanzee, J. Fred Muggs, as a personal toilet. My jaw dropped, my finger swiftly found the pause button, and my head turned, slowly and in awe, towards my wife to confirm that I did just hear what I heard. Later, disturbing implications are brought to the fore when Jenna brags on her "baby talk" game, where it hard cuts to a scene of Jenna at a bar speaking like an infant, surrounded by lots of horny men. Yeah, a lot to unpack there.
Il mondo di Yor (1983)
Yeah...
This gritty reboot of the Smurfs is weird...............
All the voices were dubbed by people who sound as though they learned English by watching kung-fu films...
Opera (1987)
Ummm...
Me during most of this film: "Man, this isn't too bad. Sure, it's a bit dated and so very Italian, but it's got campy merit. Oh, s***!!! Dang, that's sadistic! Not bad effects. OMG, that's messed up! Dude, did you see that?!?..."
Me during the ending: "W the actual F?!? Whaaaaaat?!? Good Lord..."*facepalm*
The Prowler (1981)
Actual Quality
This is actually good for an 80's slasher flick. There is a decent budget and actual production value! The back story is solid and the period dress is believable. The acting is pretty okay and nobody really overacts as is the penchant of so many cheesy slasher movies. All-in-all, while not unpredictable, a solid effort and an entertaining watch!
Z Nation: Pacifica (2018)
It's just a show. You should really just relax.
This is the kind of show from which nobody should expect too much. Sure, they have their ebbs and flows or good writing. This episode is okay. Yeah, sure it can be preachy, but it's just a show. Not a commentary on a liberal agenda or a repudiation of conservative values. It's just a conversation one or two writers had with themselves to provoke thought and, perhaps, stoke some empathy for those with whom we may feel we have little in common (metaphorically speaking). "If you're wondering how they eat and breathe, and other science facts, repeat to yourself, 'It's just a show, I should really just relax.'" Wise words from the Satellite of Love.
Z Nation: Election Day (2016)
You Have to Be Smart to Play Dumb
There are many sub-references here and the script and acting are on point with this. Obviously a shoutout to the 2016 election season, but even in 2021 it is relevant. Also, some of the quotes are fantastic. Skeezy says, in retort to his "opponent", "You hear his accent? It's so 'glottal'. It's like he's foreign!" Goddammitsomuch.*facepalm*. Season three keeps getting better.
Shot Caller (2017)
Dramatized, but with true notes
I am, let's say, familiar with the California penal system. This movie was compelling, moving, and well thought-out. While, in reality, prison life is not quite so black and white, the essence of the choices Harlon had to make are true. Nobody goes in there and comes out an innocent, regardless if they had to do the things he did or not. It's a hell that displays hellish things.
