Saturday Night Live: Josh Brolin/Ariana Grande (2024)
Season 49, Episode 14
9/10
Best episode in years
11 March 2024
Just when I thought SNL was losing it (I still believe the edge is gone), they write an episode that is solid all the way through. Maybe it's Josh Brolin's charisma but every sketch was hilarious, which is very rare for SNL lately. Some material seemed a little risqué which is a much needed and missed aspect of the show, few and far between nowadays. Why does this review need to be so long? Why do we need required characters? Oh well, almost there. The Weekend Update bit was great, always fun when Che's jokes upset the audience. The monologue was also fun. Mr Brolin didn't sing or do any of those overdone tropes. The end.

Leslie's Best
19 November 2023
I'm sure most people will favor 'Airplane' or the Naked Gun series but this is his best movie in my eyes. So many jokes, it never really gives the viewer a chance to catch their breath, so I understand if other's find that annoying. I don't. I think it's brilliantly stupid. Outside of the movie being a 'Fugitive' spoof, the references don't really get lost in time. One of the last movies in the spoof genre that worked before it became so overblown. The world could use another Leslie Nielsen these days. What else....uhh there's a Usual Suspects bit that gets me everytime. I think that should be enough characters for this review to upload. Thanks.

Why are the episodes rated so low?
20 February 2022
This is far and away the funniest newer comedy I've seen. One of the best ensembles As well; every character is funny. It's rare that a show catches me during the first episode but this is one of them. Great Chicago references sprinkled in as well.

Watch it twice
31 December 2021
Upon first viewing, I felt like I missed a lot. The second time through, I flat out loved it. I wasn't lucky enough to see this live but this is the next best thing.

MacGruber (2021)
10/10
It's perfect
22 December 2021
If you're a MacGruber fan, this is exactly what you've been waiting for. It's funnier than the movie in every way. All of these negative reviewers clearly had no idea what they were getting into.

Upon the 8th viewing...

...this is absolute genius in action. Dumb? Yes, but so well done. That's a slant rhyme.

It's a grower
29 November 2020
The sketches are super bizarre but not in an inaccessible way. Reminds me of Stella but with a modern Tim and Eric weirdness to it. The songs are very hit and miss but comedy songs have been way overdone at this point. I look forward to more episodes

Peep Show (2003–2015)
9/10
Possibly the funniest show ever
3 June 2020
So cringey and awkward yet laugh-out-loud hilarious. I watched it years ago and now it's back on Hulu and I'm sucked right back in

Way better than Suicide Squad
28 April 2020
A lot more fun overall. It was refreshing that they toned down the sexualization of Harley Quinn. Ewan McGregor was great in a comic villain role, as well

Poor Lead Choice
16 April 2020
Cool story, GREAT music and excellent cinematography. I would have enjoyed this show more if the main character wasn't so terrible. Her acting ruined many scenes and was just overall not a very sympathetic character, just kind of bland. Nick Offerman, though, was great in a dramatic role

9/10
Pretty much perfect
13 March 2020
There's times this show can get a little trying, especially when they go off with their puns but, otherwise, the dialogue is so well written and hilarious and intelligent, for being dumb characters. I love this show

Stay for the end
3 January 2020
I'm a big fan of John Mulaney but this was pretty boring. There were a couple chuckles throughout and some of the kids were great but the whole special was bland . I give it an 7 because the ending musical number is by far the best part and makes the whole process worth it

Hard to find great Horror these days
11 October 2019
This isn't perfect but it's a pretty compelling horror series. The cinematography is beautiful. The acting is solid. People here have complained the overdubbing is laughable but I watched with subtitles and nothing bothered me. Some parts drag but that's what happens when you need to fill 8 episodes. I would definitely recommend this to any horror fan; there's a handful of good scares and an overall creepy vibe to go along with an interesting story.

Better than the Movie
2 October 2019
I was a huge fan of the movie before this came out and after multiple viewings, this is much funnier and way more absurd than the movie. Love it

Deadpool 2 (2018)
9/10
Very solid sequel
21 May 2018
I'll be short, Deadpool 2 was fun and very comparable to the first one. Some jokes were rehashed but in a way that kept them fresh. My only issue was with the CGI which was kind of bad at parts but overall, I enjoyed DP2 just as much as the first movie
