Four Things Wrong With The Book Of Boba
*Warning Spoilers* My partner and I have made watching the Disney series, The Book of Boba a habit in our household that has been seemingly growing into a painful one. Since the very first episode, it became clear there were going to be cringes and inaccuracies that no Jedi mind trick could make you oblivious to of the retelling of the admired Star Wars character, Boba Fett. There is so much controversy in the fandom, causing longtime fans to not even want to watch the series from fear the hugely known character wouldn't be done justice. I wish I could give comfort, but this isn't the post. As my husband and I continue to watch the series, everything wrong with the series that makes it not as enjoyable to watch seems to come down to these four core issues.

"Murderville: Season 1" - STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?
There's so much content out there these days that it can be hard to find anything worth watching. I know that sounds backwards, but there are simply so many options that the true gems are hidden among the ranks of the mediocre, or even the outright bad. Besides, modern shows are designed with carefully planted cliffhangers so that once you get started, it's hard to walk away. Then you look up, and six hours have passed, and you realise that you didn't really enjoy any of it. It was distracting, and it got its hooks in you, but you kinda wish that you had those six hours back.

Our Friend Death
Written in January 2021. This was the first movie I saw alone in a long while (it isn’t precisely date-friendly or ladies’ night material). I just needed to get out of the house and wanted to feel something refreshing. So I hit the theaters and picked the first showing that wasn’t Wonder Woman 1984 because…let’s be real…that would have been the antithesis of “refreshing”. Luckily, chance helped me find what I was looking for.

My Review of "Baskets: Season 1"
Baskets: Season 1 is a little known show that started up in 2016. It only recently appeared in my radar after the untimely death of Louis Anderson who plays the matriarch in this show. I really wished I had stumbled upon it a lot sooner but it's better late than never.

Netflix Gems: Concrete Cowboy
Films are meant to capture a moment in history where emotions were high. It is what makes the audience want to discuss the themes of the movie long after leaving the cinema or turning off their at home entertainment units. Concrete Cowboys is yet another shining example of how Netflix just keeps releasing gem upon gem.

My Review of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended Edition)"
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (Extended Edition) is a new take on the movie that came out in 2002. It gives us around forty five minutes of extended scenes on what was originally already a three hour movie. I know that can sound really exhausting to some and at points it really is. You have to be a true fan to really dive this deep into the movie. Unfortunately for me I think I'm becoming one of those fans.
