Fog on the windshield

 I am SPOILED having a garage. The other day I had to park outside and forgot to put the car back in the garage. I woke up to fog on the windshield and a 5 minute delay getting out that day. 

Ever since I moved out of my apartment both houses I've gotten came with enclosed garages. And I realize I take it for granted a lot. 

I don't even know where my handheld wiper is I used to use when I living in apartments back in the day to avoid running the defrosters forever. 

Anyway, that's my thought for the day. 

World Beyond Season 2 (Review)

It was after finishing this show that I’d realized I never gave my review on the final season of the show. And now that I’ve seen this, I miss Fear the Walking Dead.

Why they made a show about bratty kids in the Walking Dead universe I’ll never know. This season can be summed up like this: Kids get separated within the Central Republic, kids come back together, escape and ruin the Republic’s plans of wiping out the Portland colony.

Now imagine that but with 10 drawn out boring episodes and you got it.

There was however a silver lining to the series. Jadis from the original series comes back and we find out what happened after she left the show with Rick Grimes. Thereby building up the next story I can along assume is in his mini-series.

Overall, this series was horrible. It ends with the kids going their separate ways and Jadis taking over the military. (begging fans to demand a 3^rd season) Thankfully, it didn’t work and they pulled the plug on the whole series.

But not without teasing fans with a marvel-like stinger after the credits of the last episode. One that harkens back to season 1 of the original Walking Dead series. Bringing back a character (post mortem) via video that helps tie an overarching story together and point to what felt like an evadable end.  Though this show ended and 2021 and 4 years later Walking Dead spinoffs are still going strong.

And yes…I am a bit curious as to watching them now. Not anytime soon mind you, but as bad as World Beyond was, it did point to an end of the zombies (as well as a new breed of fast moving walkers) that piques my interest.

For now, I’m happy watching something else but in the future, who knows?

 

World Beyond Season 1 (Review)

 

Yep. I did it.

After a month or so, I got bored and decided to look and see what “World Beyond” was all about.

It only went 2 seasons at 10 episodes each so how bad could it be?

The answer? Very bad.

Wow. I mean “wow”. At least Fear the Walking Dead had interesting characters. This? This I complete garbage.

Sure it had a cute little twist at the end of season 1 I didn’t see coming but that doesn’t make this show worth watching. In fact, the only reason I decided to finish it was because it only went 2 short seasons.

But this failed spinoff looks to expand upon a story line that was lightly mentioned in the main show (once) build upon in Fear the Walking Dead (by one character) so in this one they wanted to talk more about the “evil empire” that exist just outside the region where the other 2 shows take place.

From Omaha to Portland, the territory is owned by the Central Republic, who are trying to rebuild society underneath them. They have all the modern day luxuries (to have sets take place in stores/houses/etc) and are looking for a cure for zombies.

Sounds interesting right? It’s not. Season one is about 4 kids who escape the safety of their city in search on these two girls father, who they think is in trouble.

Why 4 kids with no experience of the outside world think they could survive is beyond me, but they’re shortly assisted by 2 military soldiers intent on bringing them home safe.

But that’s not what they do. Instead, they go along with the kids and we even find out in the end it was all a ploy to get the girl to live in the same bunker with her dad helping him look for a cure to the disease.

Why not ask her you say? Because the girl is a “rebel” and won’t play ball. Though she loves her father and wants to see him….so wouldn’t that be enough motivation for her agree to join him in his studies?

NO! The Central Republic lets her leave the compound to see how tough it is on the outside world so she’ll agree to help them,

OR, they could’ve just threatened to kill her father. Total garbage premise.

What’s season 2 like? Find out tomorrow.

Littlekenny (review)

 Wow. How did I not know this existed???

I was out wearing my Shoresy Jersey one night when someone asked what I thought of the cartoon. I had no idea about it. 

6 short episodes came out in 2019. Basically a prequel of sorts that harp on the jokes set up in Letterkenny, 

It's fun and made me laugh here and there and because you can watch the whole series in about 16 minutes, I'd say it was worth it. 

If you're a fan of Letterkenny, you should check it out. 

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.
