The history behind Chippendales is one that is ripe to be made into a movie or limited series. To quote Eddie Valiant in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, “It’s a story of greed, sex and murder.” And it all started during the Me Generation, the era of the Sexual Revolution as it was common to seeContinue reading “‘Welcome To Chippendales’ Is Too Revealing Too Fast”

‘Tulsa King’ In Search Of Its Crown
When I first heard that Taylor Sheridan, who had created Yellowstone and written scripts for Hell or High Water and Sicaro, was making a TV series about a Italian mobster relocating to Tulsa and starring Sylvester Stallone, I was very intriqued. Tulsa, despite being the second largest city in Oklahoma is no fairy tale ofContinue reading “‘Tulsa King’ In Search Of Its Crown”
‘Guardians’ Bring Holiday Cheer To Galaxy In TV Special
There’s something about the Star Wars Holiday Special that appeals to nerds and a certain section of Star Wars fans. It’s so bad it’s so bad but it’s like an ugly puppy dog. You got to admit it is kinda cute at times. After the success of the 1977 original, the pop culture exploded withContinue reading “‘Guardians’ Bring Holiday Cheer To Galaxy In TV Special”
No One Needs This ‘Friend Of The Family’
A Friend of the Family is another prime example of how limited series are getting out of control. The run time for this series combined is just under eight hours. And half of that would be considered too much of a story to tell, mainly because there’s not much of a story here. The castContinue reading “No One Needs This ‘Friend Of The Family’”
Thanksgiving On The Telly
Thanksgiving is often used in many TV shows and sitcoms but seems to always be the lesser holiday behind Christmas and Halloween that gets the most exposure. However, there have been some memorable shows to watch on Thanksgiving. Cheers – The famous sitcom about a bar in Boston where everyone knows your name ran forContinue reading “Thanksgiving On The Telly”
Marketing Fiasco Fails Short Of Real Thing In ‘Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?’
I remember the commercial and the controversy. PepsiCo was running a promotion to get people to buy more products, they could collect points to send in for merchandise with Pepsi logos. The idea that people would want to wear a Pepsi jacket or sunglasses didn’t appeal to me but maybe it would to some otherContinue reading “Marketing Fiasco Fails Short Of Real Thing In ‘Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?’”
Bad Diagnosis For ‘The Good Nurse’
The Good Nurse is the typical movie an Oscar winner makes after they win an Oscar. And by that, I mean it’s not too good. Remember Michael Caine having to miss the Oscars ceremony to do reshoots on Jaws: The Revenge. Maybe that’s why Jessica Chastain signed on because it would’ve have almost guarenteed herContinue reading “Bad Diagnosis For ‘The Good Nurse’”
Stand Your Ground At Center Of ‘Brittany Smith’ Documentary
I’ve never liked the Stand Your Ground law. There’s so much grey area and a little bit of the green era as in those who have money usually get away with it. The same people who defend Kyle Rittenhouse for traveling across state lines would probably also criticize the real-life victim at the center ofContinue reading “Stand Your Ground At Center Of ‘Brittany Smith’ Documentary”
‘Duel’ Gave Spielberg His First Win
Duel is often called Steven Spielberg’s first feature movie. This is not exactly the case. His first feature movie is The Sugarland Express released in 1974. Duel was released in theaters, but it first was released through Universal Television as an ABC Movie of the Week on Nov. 13, 1971. It was heavily praised andContinue reading “‘Duel’ Gave Spielberg His First Win”
‘Capturing The Killer Nurse’ Shows Dangers In Healthcare Bureaucracy
I didn’t know that Capturing the Killer Nurse was connected to The Good Nurse going into watching it on Netflix. I was about 15 minutes into Falling into Christmas before giving up and turning to this. I debated about writing a post without seeing The God Nurse first but felt it was best to reviewContinue reading “‘Capturing The Killer Nurse’ Shows Dangers In Healthcare Bureaucracy”
