⭐ 5.5/10 (Originally written by Brandon.B.) Well.... These last two episodes have sort of been a bit of a disappointment; despite one of the main characters finally being made part of the season. Basically there's too many new characters compared to originals. Not that the new characters are bad, there is just too much of an emphasis on them. I feel like since this is the final season, there shouldn't be as much new character development since we already have 6 seasons plus the last few episodes where we were introduced to so many new characters. I'm hoping the rest of the season picks up again, otherwise this will have been a real disappointment.

⭐ 8.0/10 (Originally written by Brandon.B.) I really love this movie. There is a lot going on with each of the main characters and even the supporting cast. The writer's did an awesome job knitting the guardians together and made their committment to eachother seem natural rather than contrived. Love the John c Rielly cameo. Even his minor role had a bit of meaningful development.

⭐ 10.0/10 (Originally written by Brandon.B.) Number 4 was almost everything I could have asked for in a Clone Wars episode. Tons of droids eating shit. More if the main characters were included. Meaningful conclusion to an awesome story arc. Loved every minute of it.

⭐ 6.5/10 (Originally written by Brandon.B.) This is Matt Good's 9th Solo record. It seems like i enjoy every other or every third album. I like this album for the most part. The production is silky and his vocals are mic'd really well. Coming in at 15 tracks it does get a bit too long with some tracks definitely being candidates for a b-side. There is a lot of acoustic work on this album. More so than any other MG album. Specifically picking patterns. I don't love the raspy thing he has being doing with his voice more and more lately. Lots of string instruments keep the album faithful to the MG sound but it does get a bit old. If you like Canadian Alt-rock. This is a good offering to our national catalogue.

⭐ 7.5/10 (Originally written by Brandon.B.) I watched this movie over the course of like 5 sittings which really interrupted the flow obvs. Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver were both, equally, sensational. Their monologues in this movie are on another level of existence. Apart from them, there were some characters that I didn't love... Mostly Laura Dern actually. Some moments that were a bit drawn out too. Alan Alda was a gem and Scarlett's Mom was also perfect. I may have rated it higher if I didn't watch it over so many sittings, but 7.5 stars feels about right at this time. I may revisit it in the future.

⭐ 10.0/10 (Originally written by Brandon.B.) This sketch comedy series is produced by the Lonely Island. Because it is not broadcasted on public tv they go places that SNL could never. The language is filthy and it can get pretty graphic so certainly not for everyone. The main character of the series is a comedic genius. The writing is absolutely absurd and original. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life.

⭐ 9.0/10 (Originally written by Brandon.B.) This Netflix original is hosted by a magician who takes the cheese right out of being a magician. He is everything that the monotone David Blaine is not. Charasmatic, great comedic timing, and interesting. His performances will leave you with a melted brain as well.

⭐ 8.0/10 (Originally written by Brandon.B.) Most successful Chinese production in the Chinese Box Office everrrrrrr! This is SciFi at its best. No doubt. The earth is taken out of orbit intentionally by a series of thousands of thrusters placed all over one half of the planet. They are trying to get away from the sun before it engulfs the whole solar system by going supernova. Unique for sure. It is difficult to keep up with the subtitles and the English subs are just distracting. But most everything else is spot on. Special effects are beautiful. Especially when the POV is in outer space.

⭐ 8.0/10 (Originally written by Brandon.B.) This series from the two most famous YouTubers Rhett & Link is good entertainment for the whole family. Their mythical chef attempts to see if differing foods can... Turn into other foods and taste good. ie they try to see if various foods can mac and cheese, taco, cereal, or whatever. There are like 100 of these over the last 10 years or so on their channel. They've even done this on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon two or three times. Their show is great too because most are under 20 mins so if you're feeling like you can't commit to an hour long episode or a whole movie, these little vids are a great alternative. Minus a point for some of the episodes being to short, and another point for some not being as good as others.

⭐ 8.5/10 (Originally written by Brandon.B.) Holy crap this dude is funny. If you're a fan of standup, this is for you. His take on Western culture as an Asian guy is incredible. Definitely good for an hour of laughs with friends or by yourself.

⭐ 8.5/10 (Originally written by Brandon.B.) Still missing some key characters that I'm really itching to see. Also this episode is a few minutes shorter than the previous two. That being said, this episode is awesome. Action packed and suspenseful. Some more new tech we get to see and a few other surprises from old tech too. Good times!

⭐ 7.5/10 (Originally written by Brandon.B.) Definitely enjoyed this one. Points for including other key characters, though still leaving out a bunch thus far. The mission that they are on is intense and we get to see some new stuff that fits really well within the overall series. Looks like this whole season is gonna be one large arc without any outlier episodes which I definitely like. There is one particular point that is kind of inconsequential to the episode itself but actually gives a new angle to the prequil story... from a certain point of view.

⭐ 9.0/10 (Originally written by Brandon.B.) This first episode back after a loooooong break was almost perfect. The Clone Wars animated series is my favorite part of Star Wars lore so I am a bit biased😬😬😬. Whatever!! It was great to see Rex and Cody back at it again and the "The Bad Batch" was an awesome addition to the Clone story arc. There was also a lot of work done in this episode to get the plot of this season going right away. Zero unnecessary flashback scenes! The graphics were clearly better than they were just a few years ago, but that was only an enhancing quality. No distractions from the CGI department. My only tiff with this episode is that we didn't get to see as much of certain core characters as I'd hoped; however, this does not make the episode seem incomplete. So much Star Wars love!
