Founders Day (2023)
Should also be labeled comedy
Another of the $1 mystery movie people. The best way I know to describe this movie is as a caricature of Scream.
I laughed a lot. Over the top in a lot of places and ridiculous throughout. By the half way mark, come up with a conspiracy theory for what you think is going on. There is a 99% chance you will be correct.
The "politics" was hilarious. The most generic thing you can think of, "change" and "consistency" are the literal platforms. Also, I love the 20 people protesting against each other at the beginning. What are they protesting? Who knows and no reason to care, just go with it. ChatGPT is a great comedy writer.
The Last of Us: Long, Long Time (2023)
Great episode of you understand storytelling
Some spoilers ahead.
This was a great episode all around. We get some good Joel and Ellie at the start and the end, plus Ellie finds her iconic shirt. The vast majority of the episode is about Bill and Frank's relationship. It is a beautiful relationship and brought out a lot of emotions from me and my wife. We also see Joel and Tess interact with Bill and Frank. So we learn that Joel knows them well and all about their relationship and world views. In the end, Bill leaves a letter for Joel and that letter carries a lot of weight for Joel's character development and the relationship he is building with Ellie. You have to know Bill & Frank to understand that letter and the impact that it will have on Joel. Bill also happens to give Joel a truck like in the game. The episode is not about the truck, it is about the relationship of Bill/Frank and how that impacts the relationship Joel has with Ellie. Bill/Frank just happen to have spectacular acting and a beautiful story.
