Too bad you can't find Robot Chicken on Netflix currently, I think it was at one point.

The quality of Lucifer drastically increases once on Netflix.

I was also skeptical at first but it's a great show. I really hope they do a 4th season.

I thought good not great. But no chance they do a 4th season, it's been wrapped for 3 years, and the ending was not a to be continued ending,
Spoiler!


not much of a spoiler at all, but might hurt some dramatic tension at the end.

I finished Castlevania Season 4 last night and wow, what a season. They really outdid themselves and the production value was through the roof on this season. My only gripe was that the sound was messed up on the 2 of the last 3 episodes, but otherwise no problems.

Spoiler!

Me and my family watched wish dragon going into it I thought it was going to be a rip off of alladin and although there is some similarities it was actually a great heartfelt movie that we ended up watching a couple times now I woukd definitely recommend it for a family movie night

Castlevania was really, really good. Its a shame that the guy behind it is a complete scumbag.

They did announce that they're going to do a follow-up/sequel series following the children of Belmont and Sypha, but that crazy showrunner will have nothing to do with it.

I can't get over how good Bo Burnham's Inside is.

It's really incredible top to bottom.

As a Burnham fan, I couldn't believe how bad it was. I turned it off. I understand different strokes for different folks but I would put that down as one of the worst things I ever watched before I turned it off.

Obviously I'm in the minority here, but I did not get the appeal.

Weird, I don't see how it's possible to hate it as a fan of his to begin with. It seemed like a natural progression from his 2 previous specials.

Currently sitting at 97% and 94% audience scores on RottenTomatoes, 8.8 on IMDB, and a 4.4/5 on Letterboxd.

I wonder what about it didn't resonate with you. Personally, I think it's the best media to come out of the pandemic / quarantine in general, and probably has such a strong reaction virtually across the board because it deals with his mental health issues while being trapped inside which everyone has some immediate connection with.

I didn't think it was great top to bottom, but I still thought it was great.

I keep catching myself singing the Bezos songs. I really loved the special and it's one of those things that has stuck in my mind for some time after watching.

Watched Godzilla Singular Point, was pretty good overall. Liked the slow burn and the attention to other kaiju. Didn't like the overemphasis on weird science (though it was still pretty fun), and the exposition through text messages while trying to listen to the dialog AND reading the subtitles was annoying.

Jet Jaguar was awesome.

I kind of had the Burnham special on in the background and found myself getting sucked in multiple times throughout.

I sat down and watched it again beginning to end - it is really good.

Fear Street Part One: 1994 was surprisingly good. If you enjoyed horror/thrillers of the 90s I think you'll like this one. It doesn't take itself too seriously but has a little blood, sex, violence and humour you'd expect from a horror movie of that era.

Part Two: 1978 is out today is supposed to pay homage to horror movies from the late 70s and early 80s. Part Three: 1666 is out next Friday.

It's a great way to release a trilogy of films.

Edit: We watched Part 2 tonight. It’s better than Part 1. If you’re a fan of classic teen slasher horror these have been great. Rated R with some decent gore and slight nudity (similar to Elm Street or 13th).
