Fear the Walking Dead Season 8 (review)

 Just realized I never gave my review on the final season of this show. 

I finished it a while ago. I hated it so much, I guess I wanted to forget it, instead of make this final post. 

It was terrible. If it wasn't the final (shortened) season, I probably wouldn't quite at the beginning. 

The try to tease you that Alicia died, but to NO ONE's surprise, she shows up for 2 scenes in the last 20 minutes of the finale. 

Yes. A main character from the very beginning of the series, only showed up for a day of filming where they probably films her two scenes. 

Morgan's story is wrapped halfway through and then he exits. He talks about meeting up with Rick Grimes. I have low interest in seeing if they ever brought them back together at this point, but his story was laughable at best. 

They flash forward 7 years because the writers truly have no idea how to write for these characters so they decided "F it. No one's watching this show anymore, so let's do whatever we want"

Remember a few seasons ago when we found out Alicia was going to die of radiation poisoning? Just kidding! She's cured! How? Who cares! No one's watching!

Remember last season when everyone said goodbye to Charlie as she was bedridden and the doctor said there was nothing more they could do for her but make her comfortable as she died? Nope! We decided to heal her. How? Umm....they found a better facility and she got better instantly. (I'm not kidding, that was what they went with) 

This season was HORRIBLE. What a crap shoot. PADRE is the main villain and they are defeated halfway in, so they have to bring back another character from season 3 (who you all thought was dead) to make it sound like everything ties together in the end. But really, you're bored the whole way through. 

Why EVERYONE in the "7 years" between seasons thought leaving their kids with PADRE was the best idea makes ZERO sense, because they only talk about how bad they are the whole time....yet you let them raise your kids because it was "safer"

Um...wait. Didn't Morgan steal his kids out of Strand's "safe" building in the previous season????

Who cares! No one's watching! We're making this up as we go!

The whole show is mind numbingly bad. BUT, I finished it. So I can move on to watch better things.

Well....maybe. I'll talk more about another show I just finished soon. 

Have a good weekend folks!

The RIP (review)

 This one surprised me. 

It started off with an interesting premise based (very loosely) off of a true story where the police uncover $21 million dollars in drug money. (that's where the true story ends)

Paranoia starts to creep in, as they all become suspicious of each other for wanting to steal the money. 

I'll be honest, the twist at the end even fooled me. 

This money starts strong, stalls in the middle but delivers in the end. Solid film. Much better than I thought it'd be. Good cast of characters. This came out back in January on Netflix, so probably a lot of people have already been talking about this before me, but still....good flick.  

Zootopia 2 (review)

 Wow. A remember liking the first movie 9 years ago when it came out. This movie takes place right after that and assumes you remember everything from the first. Though those kids are all in college now. 

This movie had a few good laughs. Other than that, I wasn't impressed. I watched it with my son who was interested at first but even after an hour in he decided to go up to his room to play. 

I don't know why sequels released so late after the first movie convince studios they have an audience. But oh well. I guess when the 3rd movie comes out in 2034 I'll be saying the same thing. 

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (review)

 Got to see this in theaters earlier this year when it came out and realized I never gave it a review. 

Shockingly....it wasn't that bad. The original movie along with the remake of Dawn of the Dead in 2002, brought back zombies to hollywood. Of course later the Walking Dead series would push it to new heights. But now the zombie phase has mainly passed and this movie has decided to take a turn in a different direction to how zombies work. 

I actually enjoyed the direction the movie went. It had some solid acting, fun scenes (and a few violent scenes too of course) But overall, it wasn't that bad for being the first movie I saw in theaters in 2026. 

Will it be in my Top 5 at the end of the year? Maybe. Who knows? As disappointing as movies are for me these days, the chance is certainly there.  

Monroe Moccasins

My kids and my wife are big fans. 

I first took my son back in December but the whole family in January and ever since, that's all the want to do on the weekends. 

I enjoy it too. I'm happy they're doing better with crowds than the first time they were in town. Of course it could also be they're winning a lot more than they did the first time around and everyone loves a winner. 

Either way, I'm glad they're back. I'm glad the sport is catching on and I too look forward to seeing more of their games in future as well. 

 

Ghost Grape Cran

 At long last I got to try the newest flavor of Ghost! 

Grape Cran is exactly what you think it is. And the taste is solid. 

I love this better than the grape. 

Is it a top 5? Maybe. I know it's still new for me so I'll have to give it a few more taste. But for now, yes. I love it. 

Ok folks, another week down. Have a great weekend!

What ever happened to Walkie Talkies

 Do people still use these anymore? Haven't cell phones replaced them by now? 

I remember when I was a kid there wasn't a cooler present you could get that was better than walkie talkies. We had the handheld and headset types and we LOVED them so much! 

When you were a kid, you felt so cool talking to someone on one of these suckers. And I even remember being on a trip with my parents we could sometimes pick up radio stations and once we spoke to another kid in a car along side us who also had one. 

So cool. 

I know they sell them on Amazon. Maybe I should get my kids some for their upcoming birthdays later this month. I think they'd like them.

Shoot, what am I talking about! I WANT one too!!
