I found Popcorned Planet during the Johnny Depp trial a year ago after many attempts to find someone, anyone giving actual commentary on the trial from someone that actually watched that days footage. Mostly I got click bait channels giving no substance. Then I found Popcorned Planet. Now I know how lucky I was. Andy, Stef and Kim put in their time and effort to bring great commentary. I found myself watching more with them. Then I stayed. They are honest about their take on things and tell you when they're speculating. I trust this channel. The guests and hosts are diverse. I've learned alot.

Why did you go and F up season 2
20 July 2023
It was a great show. I watch everything sci-fi. So much so I watch alot of B movie good low budget sci-fi because I've watched everything else. First season was great! Everyone could watch it. I especially like shows that everyone can watch. Season one was like that. There was gender fluid stuff but it wasn't so in your face younger age groups couldn't watch it. Then season 2. It's like after season one somebody stood up and said "YEAH! We got em on the hook now we can push our agenda down their throats!"
Was full nudity needed in this show? No. Did she have to stand there for a whole conversation? No. Did we need more sex scenes with genders changing? No. I thought the conversation about being vulnerable instead of being a macho man was great. It wasn't necessary to force it down our throats. We got it just fine. I'm 54 and far from a prude but I. Am. Sick. And. Tired! Of every movie and every show thinking they have to have sex in it to do well or to get their point across. It reads of no imagination. Good writers don't need full on nudity and sex to get ratings.. People loved season one!
Then all the hidden agendas that were there in 1 but without a bright spotlight on it now in 2 has bright red lights all over it. We've reeled in the younger malleable viewers now we can let it all hang out! Then climate change ruining the planet in 45 years. Please, I'm not that dumb. Geologists are telling you that regardless what we do Temps will get a bit higher because we're still coming out of an ice age. One! I'm an environmentalist but I'm also smart. One world order/religion? You really think in 45 years you can get that many people to agree with each other over religion? I get you needed an enemy but it was a bit exaggerated and not believable. Maybe if it had been 145 years from now it would have been.
You guys ruined a really really good thing just like people with their own personal agendas always do. I'm just sad.

Quantum Apocalypse
(2010 TV Movie)
I'm giving it a good grade, why?
26 April 2023
I am a "B Movie Queen" as my husband calls me. I love a good low budget movie. Low budget doesn't automatically equal bad movie.
I especially love my disaster movies. I expect certain things. Urgency, Science, a good plot, decent acting and common sense dialog. I don't care if the graphics don't look great or the sets are less than steller.
This movie was lacking in those areas. I believe it was due to the directing?
1. Urgency, it was lacking in many situations and in the actors. This is something a good director could bring out of the actors. This was also evident during green screen scenes. The 2 teenagers did pretty well with this.
2. Science. Some of the major concepts were believable. It was the scientists in the room that weren't. It was missing the computer graphics and the whiteboard made no sense. Everytime they showed the scientists they were doing nothing 🙄 3. The plot was good. I don't even know if that thing in space could be a real thing. I didn't care. That means it was explained well enough to be believable.
4. Decent acting. For the most part that was done well. The actors were mostly pretty good. They could have been better with possibly a little more direction especially during green screen scenes. You could tell they weren't feeling it. (The dad was pretty good) 5. Common sense dialog. What I mean is. Dialog that fits the scene. Sometimes that was ok but sometimes it was not. Maybe due to editing.
The footage of the aftermath was well done also. It looked like actual disaster footage which worked well in the movie.
Overall I recommend it if you like these kinds of movies. If you're looking for a San Andreas with Dwayne Johnson, this might not be for you.
I wanted to be honest in the hopes that the next movie by these people could be much better.

So far a good show
7 April 2023
I'm in episode four. I like it. It's a cute show. I like the cast. The only problem I have is the dialog. Young kids these days don't talk like they do. Or resolve differences so quickly. Maybe they do in Japan. Maybe it's the translation for dubbing into English? I'm not sure which. It's a nice mellow show. I would still recommend watching this show at least so far. If things change I will update.
So now for the space I have to waste because reviews have to be a certain length. The length you want is entirely too long. Nobody will have that much to say about a movie or show. No wonder this only had 3 reviews. No one wants to write that much. Please change it.

Please dub more korean shows and movies!
3 December 2022
At first I was pleasantly surprised it was so good. After binge watching it over 3 days I'm hooked. I'm a fan of Asian TV and anime but I haven't seen anything this good before. The actors were great! It was funny without being too cheesy (although it was cheesy a few times. Lol) it was serious and heart wrenching at times too. I would love to see another season of this. I really hope you all dub into English more asian tv. I just can't read subtitles and watch a show at the same time. You could find a whole new audience if you did. Especially anything with these actors in it. This may be one of the best shows I've seen in a long time!
I'm very easily entertained but...

Why did they have to ruin RIPD? The deados were completely different. The way you could detect them was completely different. The overall feel of the movie just wasn't the same. I have seen way too many movies with black smoke taking over a human soul. It's been done to death.
Jeffrey Donovan was it's saving grace. He was amazing and hilarious. He was a perfect Roycephus!!! I still recommend watching it. It was pretty good just don't compare it too hard to the 1st one. It will disappoint you in some respects. Like I said, roycephus was dead on. All of the actors were good. I can't complain there. It was a fun movie.

Really good movie
31 July 2022
I like a good disaster movie if it at least tries to make sense. I did have to watch it dubbed but the voice over actors did a great job of portraying the emotion of the Korean actors. I'd like to see more Korean movies get dubbed in English.
Tidal Wave

Don't say it's in English if it's not.
31 July 2022
I had to start a 7 day trial of a channel to watch this. It looks like a really good movie so far. It says the audio is in English. Only a couple lines have been. Those are the non Asians. I'm sorry, I just can't read subtitles and watch action at the same time.
Dead Man

I really tried to love this
5 June 2022
I really tried to like this. I gave it a 7 because visually it looked great and the characters were interesting. The story just felt like something was missing. I would still recommend it. If you can handle slow movies which I can. Late at night when I need something to watch by myself (hubby works at night)
The Block Island Sound

So it takes alot to piss me off about a movie or an ending. It was slow but I'm ok with that. Late at night I'm ok watching a slow moving movie as long as it makes sense. This one pissed me off. The ending wasn't worth the ending.

Not quite right
3 April 2022
I'm giving it a good score because it's a great show. I've never played the game but I've loved all the TV and movies. My only complaint is the Spartans are supposed to be really young. Yeah it could be later in life but the interesting factor was whenever they showed their faces they were young and I'm just disappointed that master cheif wasn't.

Wonderful new show
7 December 2021
I can't wait for season 2. Very well done. Good actors. Fun story but also tense and sometimes scary. It's actually quite an original storyline. It sucked me in and I couldn't stop watching. Such a cliffhanger at the end.

Good low budget movie
17 July 2021
I like low budget movies. As long as the acting is decent and the dialog isn't stupid.
The graphics were good but it looked too much like war of the worlds. You could have tried a little harder to be original there.
Where was the makeup artist? The girls looked good but you needed to even out the men's skin tones.
Over all a good late night flick. I watched it at 3am. Lol.
