Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (2025, Disney+)
I like it! A lot! I like the animation style, the action, the character choices, the
new twists, and that theme song slaps! Do the kids say slaps still? The one
thing I didn't like about it initially, is how Peter got his powers. It seemed
stupid. But they actually explained in a way that made sense by the end of the season.
SNL50 (2025, Peacock)
Beyond Saturday Night, the 4 part docu-series, was very good. I don't know
that we needed a whole episode on the Cowbell sketch but the look inside
what goes into making the show every week is mind boggling.
Ladies & Gentlemen, 50 Years of SNL Music is also great. Some good behind
the scenes stories and whoever edited that opening montage deserves an award!
Movies
I don't know why but for some reason I got it into my head to watch all the
Ghoulies movies when looking for stuff to watch. That'll teach me to listen to
my brain!
Technically a re-watch but I haven't seen it since it came out. Prior to
watching it, I remembered three things: the Ghoulies (duh), green eyes, and
that I saw it with a boy/girl mixed group of high school friends. This was
originally going to be directed by Charles Band with Stan Winston doing the
creatures and I can only dream what that movie would have been like. Even
grading this on an 80s horror curve, it's only kind of okay. It oddly feels
like something that could have been made in the 50s.
Rating: 4/10
