Hot Forever (2022)
Neckbeards and bros keep hating. Makes it better.
Once again Iliza delivers a great performance. She is one of the best comedians to hit the stage in the last twenty years. And it's always refreshing to see the people (mostly dudes, let's be honest) that hate on her honesty. They post on here and try to be clever and poignant. But, they just come off as dejected F-boys trying to achieve relevance. I look forward to every performance from Shlesinger. She's great live, she does sound effects, she snaps like a vicious badger, and she's demure where the joke calls for it. Her bit about her husband's sleeping issues is fantastic. Another win for Iliza and Netflix.
Superman & Lois: Waiting for Superman (2022)
Good finale overall. But let's at least pretend physics matters.
I liked the finale for the most part. The two things that happened that should get the writers fired though are these: First - Bizarro Lois shows up at the Kent farm and essentially stands and stares at the family whenever she's in scene. She doesn't interact, the family hardly acknowledges she's there, so it's mostly to show off how good near-goth Lois looks. It was clunky at the very least. Second (and this is where a good episode turned into a giant WTH for me) - Superman, now powerless to the point where he's been told he's basically human, talks his brother into throwing him into the sun to recharge his powers. Tal does this. But, there's no suit, or tech, or anything Clark takes with him other than his Superman costume. Not only would he have died in the vacuum of space. But the instant he was brought near the corona of the sun, he would have been incinerated. LET ALONE CHUCKED IN TO THE CENTER OF SUN! Instead, he has a nice little brotherly chat with Tal before Tal throws him in. This scene should be the reason the writers should be banned from ever penning another episode. They could have at least put Clark in John's suit for protection, and what's that stuff humans need to breathe? Oh yeah, OXYGEN. Which comes in handy when you also need to talk. Try exhaling all of your air, then see how long you can talk before inhaling again. Then, keep in mind that space does not let you breathe back in. There have been some pretty lazy writing in the CW DC universe. This scene should be crowned the laziest. When Tal throws Kal into the sun, there should have been a quick POOF, and then the end credits. Which is too bad because there were many parts of the episode that were done well. One more gripe: In what reality would the two Allys been allowed to stay in the same cell together? Wouldn't they have been separated to the point where they couldn't even see or hear each other? Just let them co-habitate so they can plot their next move? Check.
