Family Guy: 200 Episodes Later (2012)
Interesting Insight to the show
One off episodes like these are always fascinating for filmmakers like me to hear the thought processes that go into anything from pre to post-production on any show, especially one with a massive following like this one.
It's nice to see Seth MacFarlane be in the realm of Family Guy too and talk about it in a serious manner, even though the 100 episode was funny, it did take the edge off wondering whether the interviews were fake or not. Not bothered either way, but would have been nice to have clarity on it.
Also, I gave this 10 stars, but I only gave it 10 stars because someone else on here gave it 1 star, and this individual clearly has some sort of personal, biased vendetta against the show or the team, and just wanted to rant to the internet about it. Maybe this person's individual writing career hasn't taken off as fast as they hoped, maybe their dark, gritty drama script is still finding it's way through the wayward Hollywood waters, who knows. So hopefully this 10 star balances the score out a bit.
Even though I was really interested in it, realistically as an episode it's a 7 or an 8 out of 10. It's a BTS episode so you can't make it incredible, but it was still a great watch.
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019)
Unnecessary but Nostalgically Brilliant
Don't go into this film expecting it to be as heart wrenching, captivating and shocking as the fantastic series was.
In my opinion, this film wasn't really needed, the ending is just as satisfying as the ending to the series, so much so that it just feels like an alternate final episode that they could of made just after the actual final episode if they wanted to. This film could of easily been done as an episode without dragging out most of the parts to each scene.
Nevertheless, it was still as brilliantly made as Breaking Bad was, Vince Gilligan's eye for detail never fails to impress, the performances were perfect as usual and it is still an enjoyable watch. The subtle hints and nods to some of the most iconic parts of the show were very much appreciated.
