The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos (2020 Video Game)

For D&D fans.

[10/10 · 10 July 2022]

As a fan of D&D and tactical games like Divinity, I very much enjoyed this. Along with genre appropriate themes; it actually is hilarious and the characters kind of speak as if they're real life players playing these characters who have no name but are just called by their classes. I just finished the game and will probably make another run through it and pick one of the other classes. The score on here is dreadful, because I had fun from beginning to end and actually laughed the whole time. The banter is amazing and the game is very self aware. I highly recommend.

Christina P.: Mom Genes (2022 TV Special)

Yikes

[2/10 · 26 May 2022]

Only 10's are from YMH fans. But unbiased standup fans will not like this. It's just some tired ass jokes that I've heard from women like her over and over again. Get for them Segura coat tails and do something else, because sweet Jesus. Did anyone actually finish this thing? The podcast is great, but it's 90% Tom, let's be honest.

Attack on Titan: Outside the Walls of Orvud District (2018) Season 3, Episode 8

Eren HAS to stop crying.

[8/10 · 24 February 2022]

Episode is sick, but seeing Eren whine 90% of the time is exhausting. It's literally just him and no one else, at least Armin is useful. This guy blows.

The Witcher: A Grain of Truth (2021) Season 2, Episode 1

And the Emmy goes to....

[10/10 · 17 December 2021]

Kristofer Hivju. His role as Nivellen is awe inspiring. Also, great start, great visuals, just all around a great telling of one of my favorite Witcher tales. The Yen part seems a bit silly but oh well.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: 2020: A Year In Review (2021) Season 15, Episode 1

Go woke or go broke.

[5/10 · 3 December 2021]

Putting that glaring politics aside, the jokes are a hit and miss. Thought this show wouldn't be the type to buckle under the pressure to be this liberal so obviously. Also not very funny.

Dopesick (2021)

Brace yourself award season.

[10/10 · 18 October 2021]

Michael Stahlbarg is probably the best actor ever now, show was the last straw to decide his genius.

Michael Keaton is a 10/10 and the writing is top tier. I'm pretty shocked.

Sex Education: Episode 7 (2021) Season 3, Episode 7

Unrealistic farts...with one exception.

[6/10 · 10 October 2021]

The exception being Michael the former headmaster, turning into my favorite character. Love me an underdog story.

Sex Education: Episode 3 (2021) Season 3, Episode 3

The cat scene.

[10/10 · 17 September 2021]

Y'all gotta chill. One scene in the beginning shouldn't ruin the whole episode. Don't be stupid.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Charlie's Home Alone (2018) Season 13, Episode 8

Y'all are trippin

[9/10 · 29 August 2021]

I was dying in this one. That bucket fall destroyed me.

Loki: Lamentis (2021) Season 1, Episode 3

This is important.

[9/10 · 29 June 2021]

Not the filler people claim it is. Just because it doesn't have some massive advancement in the plot, doesn't mean it's insignificant. There's plenty of character building and depth added to these two even more than we had. Which is bananas. This was necessary. Enjoy it.

Friends: The Reunion (2021 TV Special)

I don't know what y'all were expecting.

[6/10 · 28 May 2021]

First off, wtf is wrong Matthew Perry? He seems so slow, which is tragic considering how quick he was. But with Corden and the his "friends" in that fashion. Yikes.

Should've been Conan asking them in depth questions and them answering them honestly and being real. Some parts of this is really great and heart warming, but yeah a missed opportunity for sure.

Frasier: Freudian Sleep (2004) Season 11, Episode 14

Y'all folks are bananas.

[9/10 · 13 April 2021]

This is a pretty standard episode for Frasier. Funny, intelligently observant and good punchlines. Good show all around.

Except for the wheelchair episode lol.

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

Changed my rating.

[1/10 · 29 December 2020]

I started with a 3 and then into a 1 after I gave it any thought. Holy crap. Not one scene makes sense.

The Mandalorian: Chapter 10: The Passenger (2020) Season 2, Episode 2

What you need to keep in mind

[10/10 · 10 November 2020]

Not every episode needs to progress a single arc. These are are side quests baby! Surprised you nerds aren't into this, because not all shows should follow a strict narrative. Besides, Star Wars has always had "adventure detours", and as a fan of D&D, this just reminds me of a random encounter, which I love. So the purpose is to be fun and entraining, which it was. Show is a still perfect.

Lupin III: The First (2019)

50% Lupin, 50% Final Fantasy, 100% entertaining.

[9/10 · 18 October 2020]

I grew up watching Lupin and even reading the mangas. I can see how the movie has missed certain beats that makes most quality Lupin outings "Lupin", but honestly I was just hit with a vibe that didn't take me out of enjoying this. It still feels like Lupin, the banter is pretty close and all the cheese and humor is pretty on point too. It's not the best Lupin, but it's definitely not disappointing. Also, that animation is bananas. 👍🏻

Fargo: Before the Law (2015) Season 2, Episode 2

Remember this is based on real events.

[10/10 · 6 October 2020]

The show is great and doing just fine. Can't complain about a lack of realism and too many weird coincidences if it's told exactly as it happened. So recognize the genius of this "life transcription" and enjoy it for what it is; entertainment. Lose the elitist attitude, not everything will be Breaking Bad.

Fargo: A Fox, a Rabbit, and a Cabbage (2014) Season 1, Episode 9

Two predators, two different styles.

[10/10 · 24 September 2020]

Lester loves nothing but in his deluded view of his potential and gets himself and those around him in danger or worse. Lorne only cares for the madness and violence. These two fit each other perfect.

Devilman: Crybaby (2018)

solid

[9/10 · 3 January 2020]

Show is pretty close to perfect. Lovely homage to the original while still remaining modern in its themes. Very bizarre and campy indeed, but I'm guessing that's the idea. It's super and very solid.
