John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in LA (2024)
John mulaney is usually great but this sucks
This isn't meta, or pseudocomedy it's just lazy and rudderless. The guests are all awkward and even the most gregarious comics are rendered palid by the sheer lack of structure and timing. I have a sneaking suspicion Netflix set this up in order to troubleshoot their ability to stream a live worldwide broadcast in anticipation of the Tyson/Paul fight. So this is just a cheap throwaway they didn't invest in and let mulaney do whatever. It's clear Mulaney is talented but he's not a showrunner (which was obvious when he tried a sitcom career). He could be a talented host of a more organized show, as some have mentioned him as a potential Oscars host but sadly this is not a worthy audition.
Zeroville (2019)
OK if you've read the book
Appreciate james francos adaptation. If you're into films and enjoyed the book this is decent. Not great but the book is a trip so this was bound to be weird. Some funny moments.
Curb Your Enthusiasm: Man Fights Tiny Woman (2021)
This show needs to be put out to pasture
The jokes are obvious. The formula is tired. The storylines are contrived. Everything has gotten so slow and they try to make up for it with more and more dumb scenarios. This show jumped the shark. Time to call in a career Larry.
Identity (2003)
A very early 2000s thriller, looks rather silly years later
Lets just start with the fact that "multiple identity syndrome" is not even a real thing. Its all just a bit overdone and goofy looking at it today. Still entertaining but lacking the depth and intellect that we come to expect from more modern thrillers.
Hell or High Water (2016)
Best Western in a decade
No country for old men but without the weight of the Coen brothers.
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
A movie so formulaic and money hungry the actual band would be sick (if they weren't being paid)
So silly and obvious. When even the closest thing to band turmoil immediatelyis resolved by a bass line and them writing a hit song (Another one bites the dust) you know it's dumb. No introspection, no heart. Nothing but the classics and some bad accents.
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
Maybe it's time Tarantino retired after all
No motivation for any of the action up until the final act. Margot Robbie could have been entirely eliminated from the film and it wouldn't have changed a thing except saving us 40 minutes. Without Pitt's character this might have been a razzie. Love Tarantino but I'm no longer sad he's calling it quits.
