  • I went on a Disney cruise for a family vacation this past week, and we got to see Fantastic Four, Freakier Friday, and Tron: Ares.

    Fantastic Four was fun, but it’s kinda just another MCU movie.

    Freakier Friday I had literally zero expectations for, but I honestly found it very fun and endearing. It’s similar to the first one, but different enough to feel fresh and new, and there really wasn’t that much Millennial/Gen Z/Gen Whatever humor in the movie either, which I appreciated. They brought back all the actors who were in the first movie, including Lohan’s old band mates, and her old crush (who, imo, has probably the funniest parts of the whole movie). I’d honestly recommend anyone who was even slightly entertained by the 2003 one to watch this sequel.

    Tron: Ares was cool to watch, but a lot of the Jared Leto scenes made it feel painfully obvious that this was his movie that he wanted to make. Like it’s literally just Jared Leto talking about the stuff he likes like Depeche Mode (there are literally two scenes where they talk about DM, but the second one at least kinda makes sense imo). The action was cool, the effects were well done, it was cool to see programs interact with and be in the real world, and it had some very interesting mechanical ideas. The soundtrack was pretty good too, it felt kinda like a chunkier/grittier version of Legacy.





  • I liked the “magic fight” in the first movie, because it shows Dave Franco’s character is incredibly capable of turning/working for the government. Like the way he disguises his voice after hearing the other guy say a couple things or disappearing right in front of him, and the cards. Imo they should have used their magic for more espionage and covert shit than whatever the hell they ended up doing.

    The second one is dumb as hell, but still fairly entertaining if you actually turn your brain off for most of the physics and such.

    I don’t really have high hopes for this one, but I’ll probably watch it on streaming eventually one day when it comes out.




  • Mother. Fuckin.

    SWAT KATS

    Two junkyard bros who also happen to be super engineers, create this badass jet that has all kinds of awesome weapons and tactical capabilities, and they use it to become vigilantes to save the city from evil and destruction.

    Fuckin AWESOME theme song


    Justice League/Justice League Unlimited

    Great storytelling (imo) and action. Maybe not so much the music (aside from the theme songs).


    Young Justice

    If you enjoy superheroes/DC, this is a cool show about the sidekicks splitting off and kinda doing their own thing but still working with the Justice League. They mainly focus on covert missions like going undercover to break into secret superpower smuggling rings and things like that. It does get a little bogged down in some “personal” stories and relationship stuff, but imo it’s bearable and balanced out by the action and overarching story.


  • Fuckin love Metalocalypse. And it gets kind of intense towards the end, I still need to watch Army of the Doomstar. Doomstar Requiem is honestly probably one of the best albums I’ve ever heard from any band ever.

    Also, I used to love Megas XLR too. Such a weird “rule-of-cool” show. An alien shows up with a device that turns your car into a giant mech? And then you have to defend your planet (and the galaxy) from giant creatures? Hell yes.
