Muppets from Space review

There isn’t much reason to say why I’m reviewing different movies for this blog and when. All that you need to know is that there is some connection, possibly minor or contrived in some way, is why I am reviewing a movie that I either have or am able to see in some way. Today, we get a movie that had a minor cameo from someone from The Good Wife so I’ll review it now.

 

We begin with a storm approaching earth. The Great Gonzo is approaching the ark, wanting to board before the flood. He doesn’t know what species he is. He is told that he is doomed since there is only one of him and given an umbrella. He doesn’t want to be alone.

 

He is revealed to be having a nightmare and in his terror waking up, accidently knocks Rizzo out of the window. He rescues Rizzo and talks to him some about the dream. All of the Muppets, at least the ones that are relevant to this movie, wake up in a big house that they all live together in. Miss Piggy goes off to her job while Gonzo doesn’t like being alone, even cancelling one of his daredevil acts. While he eats his cereal, he sees a message that says, “Watch the sky.” Rizzo doesn’t notice this. Later, the message says, “R u there?”

 

We switch to C.O.V.N.E.T., a top secret national security facility. They are investigating the threat of alien attack disguised as a cement factory. I wonder if Jimmy Hoffa worked here. They are convinced that communications not of his earth have appeared, although noticing messages saying “R u there?” One says “R u three?” One of the officials isn’t sure this is real, thinking that the photos are doctored. But this has to be relevant to the plot of the movie, right?

 

Gonzo waits on the roof at night for a message. He gets struck by lightning. After this happens, he gets a message from two cosmic fish, being told to mow the lawn with a letter of response. He goes inside and tells others about this, electrocuting Rizzo causing his hands of cards to burn away. People think that he is crazy. Back at the government agency, they see Gonzo’s message: I am here.

 

Pepe tricks Gonzo into building a jocose by pretending to be an alien. There is then a party of sorts, but the aliens don’t show up. While others watch alien contact live the next day, Gonzo listens to the show, thinking that it is an alien broadcast instead. He goes off to the studio using his lawnmower as a vehicle in order to get there, wearing foil that Dr. Honeydew made it seem like would help this contact.

 

Miss Piggy gets to go on air when the regular host winds up stuck at the airport. Gonzo winds up there and says the crazy story about how his breakfast cereal brought the cosmic fish and proved that he is an alien. Miss Piggy interviews him and says that he’s here. The government operative wants him here.

 

While still at the studio, two people in sunglasses and suits show up, one of them being played by Josh Charles. While Gonzo is taken away, he stays behind and fights some with her. After getting pummeled some, she gets the upper hand. He is tied up next where she gets information out of him. People gather at the Muppet house during this time.

 

Meanwhile, Gonzo and Rizzo are taken to the alien research facility. This man named Edgar, the main government operative, says that he is an ambassador of earth and welcomes the two of them. Miss Piggy says that Gonzo has been kidnapped and his life is in danger. She thinks this is good news since she has a story now.

 

The Muppets gather in the lab in the basement, told that there is a rubber duck with invisibility spray. They also get a door in a jar and scotch tape in case something tears. He gives a mist to Miss Piggy that will get people to obey her every command. How is that different than usual?

 

Edgar, or Ed, does some research into Gonzo by examining him. Hulk Hogan shows up and sends Rizzo down to a lab for some tests. There, a bunch of buff rats are there. He realizes that since this place is medical research, that would make them all lab rats. Gonzo is told that they will be doing a brain probe on him which would take his brain away.

 

The rest of the Muppets continue on to rescue Gonzo, except for Bunsen and Beaker who were left behind at the gas station. A man with the lab rats puts them in a maze since Rizzo said something that he shouldn’t have. He is told to stay away from the red circles. He is then given the choice between cheese and rat poison. He picks the cheese, but gets punched by a boxing glove. Other tasks that he is given are also dangerous.

 

Gonzo gets a sandwich which channels a voice of the aliens. Gonzo tells the sandwich to meet them at Cape Doom where a lighthouse is. The bear that works for Ed overhears this. We then get to the other Muppets arriving at this place. I wonder how they knew where to go? Ever notice this? The protagonists seem to always find a place where the villains are with little explanation as to how they got there.

 

Miss Piggy uses her mind control device to get the guard to let them all in the place. Gonzo is told that he and the other rats aren’t getting any cheese. But there is a convenient hole in the prison wall that they can all go through. They use the invisibility spray to get through the place. Fonzi washes his hands and reveals himself to a female guard whom Animal chases away. Gonzo awaits the brain probe. The government bear takes people into a place. Rizzo goes after Gonzo and away from the other rats.

 

Rizzo finds Gonzo and tries to free him. The other rats help. This is when Ed sees that Gonzo has escaped and is fired from his higher up. The woman guard actually likes Animal, but is told to call her anyways after he rejects her. The Muppets try to escape and use the door in the jar. Only Pepe can get through it, but he lets the others out as well.

 

Leaving out of the vehicle, Gonzo tells the others to meet his alien brothers at Cape Doom. They then go to the beach together. Miss Piggy tells another man about it, telling him to keep it secret, but he goes and tell the whole crowd of alien crazies about this. The bear tells Ed that they are going to Cape Doom and is told to get the really big gun.

 

The Muppets arrive at the beach and are greeted by people chanting Gonzo’s name. The people here are gathered to wait for the aliens to arrive. Shelly, the original host of the show, finally reappears and gets into a tussle with Miss Piggy until Shelly is sprayed upon and mind controlled. The people wait and after an hour after the deadline passes, Gonzo says that it’s a no show. As people start to leave, being disappointed in the end results, a giant egg like sphere comes out of the sky. It doesn’t seem like much until a beacon of light come out of it and a big ship comes out of the sky.

 

One of them wants Gonzo to come forward. They said that they have come a long ways to find him. A lot of creatures that look like him arrive and sing the song Celebrate. Isn’t it amazing that, not only do they know English, they also know a famous Earth song?

 

After some of the show or whatever this can be called, Ed reappears with his big gun, saying that he is taking Gonzo back in his cement truck. His weapon doesn’t work because the big bear unloaded it. The aliens take Ed away due to what they call his comic instincts. Ed agrees to leave. They want Gonzo to go with them as well. He prepares to leave with them. He says lots of goodbyes. But right as he is about to board the ship, he decides not to join them since this is his home, a common cliché. Ed wants to say some parting words full of space clichés, but doesn’t complete them as they leave quickly. As Gonzo and the other Muppets stare into space, he wonders why they asked him to build a jocose.

 

That’s it for this movie. I plan to review the two Muppet Christmas movies I have at some point. Look forward to them in the future, provided that they get made like I’m wanting to. I don’t plan to do any other Muppet movies or specials that aren’t Christmas related at this point in time.

 

So what can I say about this movie? Well, as stated in the review, parts of this are cliché. You see this a lot in kid’s movies where a character longs for something more, but the journey just makes him realize that he’s already home all along. It is similar to what happens in most romantic comedies. I do think that this movie is good and there’s nothing wrong about this. With not much else to say about this movie, I will end the review here. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Cast Update 9-3-2021

This is becoming a regular thing: this post is incomplete with me having no time to finish writing it. It might not come off that way, but it is obvious to me and maybe others that some stuff will wind up outdated if I can’t get to them on time. There’s much that I could wind up talking about in this introduction. The main thing is that I reached a stopping point with Back to the Future: the Animated series season 1 and replaced that with Living Edens. That new choice will be referred to in my Survivor blog as mystery choice #10. I hope to have more time for updates in the future.

 

Spin-off information- My review of the spin-off will follow later in this post. It will probably stay for as long as the show is still on. If the show leaves the air, then I’ll probably cut it. I did create a blog for it. I guess that I will just have to keep you updated on when it might be released in the future.

 

Link to blog about it: https://adamdeckerthegoodfighttvshow.blogspot.com/

 

Julianna Margulies: I don’t see what else she is doing right now at the moment, but hopefully will in future posts. I didn’t find anything relating to her from this update so there’s nothing to include here in this update here in the end right now. She has a recurring role right now on The Morning Show, an Apple TV drama.

 

Josh Charles: He will be in something new called We Own This City. It is nice to see him doing something worth covering in this blog again as we tend to lose a lot of his updates as they just aren’t worth covering anymore. But this one is for now.

 

We Own This City: This is about Freddie Gray. It is a planned miniseries on HBO. It does not have a trailer just yet. But it is an interesting idea for something that we will hopefully see presented in the best way possible to learn more about it. It currently has a release year of 2022.

 

Graham Phillips: We’ll see if we see more of him there in the future or not. Hopefully, he will be doing more than just that in the future. I guess I’ll have to see what could happen with his career in the future… Maybe a lot of things just hasn’t happened with him yet.

 

Archie Panjabi: This actress did a lot after leaving the show. She is doing Departure, mentioned more in the next part of this blog as usual. She also appears to be in something called Fairytale. She had a minor role in the British sitcom Still Open All Hours.

 

Departure: This has been released. It is a Canadian show about the search for victims of a plane crash. It will air on the Global network that I don’t think that I’ll be able to see any time soon. But I’ll keep track of this as much as I’m able to. This is on the Peacock streaming service for those in America available now. A review now follows.

 

Departure: Show Description- A plane goes missing and people have to figure out what went on. Behind the Scenes- Archie Panjabi from The Good Wife and Blindspot is a character on this show. I think that she is the lead. My Thoughts- It seemed pretty good, although I’m not sure how there will be enough material for the show to last. I also have no idea how much beyond the first episode is available for free. Long Term Prospects- I don’t think that this will last, although it can. It is worth noting that since this is a Canadian show, the ratings here don’t matter. Where to Find- Available to stream on Peacock

 

Fairytale: This has no release date or trailer at this time. It is about a romantic story that is based off of real people in some way. I have no idea yet what the title has to do with the story, but will wait and see what movie might be like.

 

Christine Baranski: After rejecting various pilots and other projects in the hopes of getting a spin-off from the Good Wife, she got what was wanted and will be on a Good Wife spin-off. It will only be available on CBS All Access (and hopefully DVDs in the future). The spin-off is called The Good Fight. She’ll also be in a movie called Bad Moms’ Moms. We’ll see what becomes of that. Another thing she will be in is The Gilded Age. That might be it for now.

 

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

 

Review: Status- It is available online at Paramount+ and some is on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

 

Bad Moms’ Moms: This has no trailer and no release date just yet. It doesn’t have a plot yet outside of being the third installment of the Bad Moms franchise. I imagine this would likely relate to the end of Bad Moms Christmas. Still, I hope that they come up with a better title for it. Is there something wrong with “Bad Grandmas” as a title?

 

The Gilded Age: This is a TV show set to be out in 2021. This will air on HBO. You might have remembered me talk about this in my TV show blog where I put it with the cancelled shows since it was never made and never brought to series. Well, just like with Emerald City, this has found new life again and is set to air on HBO.

 

Matt Czuchry: All of this time that you’ve seen me doing updates for him in this blog, you only saw me mentioning the reboot of Gilmore Girls. Well, I can finally take that off the update list and report on something new he is finally doing. It is a TV show called The Resident.

 

The Resident: This is a show that is on hiatus. I’m not sure if there’s a better way of putting it than calling it a medical drama, which is what it would be. The main thing that would make it different is it focusing more on medicine than other shows have, according to one description that I read of it. That description may be wrong upon seeing the trailer, although I’d have to see the show to know for sure. A review of the show now follows.

 

The Resident: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this for my Good Wife blog and to fulfill my promise to watch a midseason replacement on FOX this season. Description- This is a medical drama that features different doctors, some new, and there are various problems at the hospital at times. It seems a rather complicated plot that is hard to sum up easily. It should make more sense as it goes along. Notable People- This has Matt Czuchry who used to star in The Good Wife and Gilmore girls. It also has Emily VanCamp who starred on Brothers and Sisters as well as Revenge. Pros- It points out the flaws that can happen in a hospital, but does it in a good way. It can seem more humanizing than most medical dramas that I’ve seen in the past. Cons- It seems similar to House. The lead can be strange and arrogant. Note to Parents- It airs with a content adversary warning in some episodes so that’s all you really need to know about it. Recommendation- I’d say that this is good to stay into if you want to. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch this until the very end. Whether I’ll be able to see every episode or not remains to be seen. Prediction- It is hard to tell for sure this early, but I think that it might last a bit for now. Reception: mixed. Grade: B.

 

Makenzie Vega: She has been working since The Good Wife ended. Sadly, she hasn’t been doing that much. I haven’t been able to find something that I could review just yet. I hope that she ends up doing something good soon. Otherwise, I guess this will be one less person to worry about. She will be in something called Growing up Gorman.

 

Growing up Gorman- The name of this movie is based on a character from the movie. It has no release date or trailer just yet. The person in this wants to win a battle of the bands competition. We’ll see if it avoids being cliché or not.

 

Alan Cumming: Here’s an actor who’s known for starring in Broadway plays and productions. Perhaps you have seen him on the Tony Awards that you always watch because you can’t afford to see Broadway any other way. It looks like he has a lot of future projects in the works. He is in Bright in a Hollow Sky. Yet another thing that he appears to be doing is a TV movie called Going Back. There’s also a new project called Run. He might also be in a show called The Prince. That’s a lot of projects to keep track of. He will also be in Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men. And another thing that he seems to be doing is called Schmigadoon! He also appears to be in Hot White Heist.

 

Bright in a Hollow Sky: This is a movie about people trying to find what they have lost by going on a road trip to do so. It doesn’t have a release date or trailer just yet. Hopefully it can do better than other projects where nothing seems to come from it.

 

Going Back- This does not have a release date or trailer just yet. It focuses on a man who creates a frenzy by pretending to be a teenager. It seems to be set in Scotland, so that might be where it might be released. Hopefully, it will be released here too.

 

Run: This has no release date, but it does have a trailer. The plot is about a man who seems to have lost something important and will try to live life in a different way from this point forward. I’m guessing that running in some way will factor into the plot. It might be out, but I can’t find much information about it right now. I don’t think that it is yet.

 

Trailer Link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8900306/videoplayer/vi3245521689?ref_=tt_ov_vi

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks very good and interesting, although I’m not sure that I can make anything out of the plot just yet. I’ll have to see what becomes of it in the future. Whatever it is, I hope to see it and want to watch it, not just out of an obligation to doing this blog in the future.

 

The Prince: This is an animated show that seeks to look into the life of a prince that might be real as the show is obviously a comedy in the meantime. It is currently available now. It has no trailer right now. I’m not yet sure what network this will be on.

 

Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men: This had no release date or trailer at the moment right now. Apparently in this movie, a mother tells her daughter about her sex life in hopes that her daughter will learn from this.

 

Schmigadoon!: This has a release year of 2021. It is about a backpacking couple who find a magical town of sorts. There is no trailer for this yet, as I would have to guess that they haven’t filmed this yet. We’ll have to see what happens with this over time. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBQmIoSJHOs

 

Thoughts on trailer: Well, I’m still not entirely sure what to make of this, but this could be fun in some ways, although I can’t tell if it looks interesting enough to me or not. It does seem strange, but what were you expecting from a musical? I guess that I’ll have to see what all might happen, but this is yet another streaming service that I don’t have and thus will probably not get to see this. Right now, the only streaming services that I have are Disney+ and Hulu. Thus, I’d need a show or movie to be on them before I can put a review for it in this blog of mine.

 

Hot White Heist: This appears to be an Audible show of some sort. It appears to be out now already. It is about members of the LGBT community stealing sperm samples for some sort of reason that might make more sense if it makes sense.

 

Zach Grenier: Well, he’s finally doing things, such as being in a movie called The Vizitant. He’s also in The White Stuff. He will be a fourth season regular on The Good Fight. We’ll see what else he does over the course of time while still working.

 

The Vizitant: This has an unknown release date. Apparently, this movie is about a defeated politician who is given the power to change the world by a mysterious entity. Perhaps the Monitor is giving him the book of destiny. Whatever will happen, I hope to find out more when there is a trailer for this. I hope for a release date soon as well.

 

The White Stuff: This is now set for release on September 1, 2021. In it, a man learns something very weird about himself: he can’t see race. This is a short of some sort. It sounds interesting, but I have no idea if I’ll be able to see any shorts like this one or not as I wouldn’t know when they are available. I do not know yet when I might be able to see this.

 

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

 

Review: Status- It is available online only at Paramount+. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

 

Matthew Goode: He has been doing a lot of projects since leaving The Good Wife. I might as well get to mentioning all of them. A thing he appears to be doing is Medieval. Yet another movie he’ll be in is The King’s Man. We’ll see what happens with them. Another new thing he is in is Silent Night. He will also be in The Colour Room. Two more things that he is planning to do are The Offer and The House.

 

Medieval: This is a movie with an unknown release date. I don’t know if this is based on a true story or not. But it seems like it is about two people and how they seek to win against an army of people. They probably have people helping them with it.

 

The King’s Man: This looks like it will be a prequel to the Kingsman series of movies. I’ll probably post review of the other movies in the series at some point. That will at least give me an excuse to watch them again. Its release date is currently December 22, 2021. There is a trailer for this now that I will talk about. There are newer trailers that I don’t care about right now.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e82JHkkPw54

 

Thoughts on trailer: I can’t gather much from a teaser like this, but may keep it in here instead of going with an official trailer later. You see, this looks interesting to me like all the other movies in the franchise have thus far. I look forward to seeing it. I just wish that a bit more could be revealed about it.

 

Silent Night: This movie pretty much has family coming together for Christmas. I do not know how or if they will put an original spin on this. It has a release year of 2021. It does not have a trailer. It might only be a UK movie as it doesn’t mention an American release date just yet at the moment.

 

The Colour Room: This is said to be a drama of sorts. This has no release date at the moment. I also have no idea what the plot is as imbd doesn’t currently know. This is said to be on Sky network, so it might not air here in the US.

 

The Offer: This is set to air sometime in 2022. It is about the making of The Godfather. I don’t know much else about it like what network it would be on or if it’s a streaming service of some sort instead.

 

The House: This is going to air in 2021. I don’t know where it is going to air, but it is a TV show of sorts. It is about three different generations who have made it home over time. It could be good, but I might never know.

 

Cush Jumbo: She will be appearing in a TV show called The Beast Must Die. I can’t tell much about this right now. But I will talk more about this in the next paragraph since that is what I do in this blog now. She will also be in something called Stay Close.

 

The Beast Must Die: I have no idea what it is about right now, but hopefully will be able be able to see it, but it might not be on American television. This is available now on British television. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAb0VPSKq_w

 

Thoughts on trailer: The trailer seems vague in some ways. It could be interesting, but just seems generic in some ways. What is there even to make sense of this? What all could I say? I’m just not sure that I care.

 

Stay Close: This has a release year of 2022. It is a TV show, although I don’t know what network this might air on just yet. It is about how three people’s lives are affected by something horrible that happens. But maybe some good can come out of it?

 

Jeffrey Dean Morgan: He is now in the cast of The Walking Dead. He’ll also be in The Integrity of Joseph Chambers. I wonder what else he might do over time. That is about all I can tell from him for now. It turns out that he’s also in The Unholy.

 

The Walking Dead: This is a popular gory cable zombie drama about humans trying to save themselves from what is known as The Walking Dead, or walkers, zombies who are often the bad guys. But who else are causing problems?

 

Review: Status- Currently on AMC at times. Why I’ve seen it- I borrowed this on DVD from a friend in order to review it for this blog. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from comic books of the same name. Description- A man wakes up from a coma to find that he now lives in a world with zombies, his old world gone. Notable People- Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who was in The Good Wife, is now on this show. Pros- It has a good premise that works for the most part. Cons- It can be too slow moving and seem longer than it needs to be. Note to Parents- I wouldn’t let your kids watch this. Teens might be safe, but I might steer clear of that too. Recommendation- Maybe this is worth watching if you like this sort of show. I’d put it at a toss-up myself as to whether or not to watch. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch the whole first season on DVD. Whether or not I’ll see any more after that is unknown. Prediction- I think that it is close to ending sometime in the near future. Reception: largely positive. Grade: B-.

 

The Integrity of Joseph Chambers: This is set for release sometime in 2021. I have no idea what the plot would relate to or if it relates to a true story like I think that it might, but just as easily might not. I’ll wait to see what this might be about.

 

The Unholy: This is on DVD now. The plot relates to someone who was healed from her disability and starts to heal others, but then bad things start happening. Is this really the work of God? Or is this evil? This will be the last time you see this in the updates.

 

Review: Movie Name- The Unholy. Genre: horror. Rating: PG13. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from a book under the original name for this: shrine. Description- A man unleashes a curse causing what seems like miracles to happen that are really the work of a demon. The Good Wife Alumni in it- Jeffery Dean Morgan plays the protagonist of the movie. Pros- This could be considered a horror movie for those that don’t like horror movies. It can have a bit of a life lesson or two in it. Cons- It isn’t as scary as one would like or expect, not having a lot of the typical horror movie elements that fans of the genre would like while also being too cliché in other places. Parts of it can seem low budget, but not on purpose. The religious elements are weird as usual. Note to Parents- There are some scary images and deaths, including some on screen. There is bad language at times. Blood is seen as is some fire and other elements like that. Recommendation- I actually think that this was good enough, although you wouldn’t be missing anything the likes of which you have not already seen or could find easily elsewhere but not watching it in the end. IMDB Ranking: 5.1. My Grade: B.

 

Robert King: Here is where we switch to writing credits. He and his wife are helping with The Good Fight. He’s also doing a TV show called Evil. He’s working on another TV show called Girls with Guns. He’s also doing two other projects called The Bite and Would I Lie to You?

 

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

 

Review: Status- It is available online only at Paramount+. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing.

Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

 

Evil: This looks like it could be interesting. People investigate the supernatural in this show in the typical one woman, two men set up. This is currently streaming its second season now. We’ll see how long it might last beyond its current known run.

 

Evil: Status- Currently streaming its second season. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this to review it for a blog. Description- A woman and others have to deal with the idea of what makes one evil and if there are supernatural abilities behind it or not. Notable People- This is created by Robert and Michelle King who also did The Good Wife, The Good Fight, and BrainDead. It stars Michael Emerson from Person of Interest, Lost, and Arrow. Pros- It has a lot to offer in terms of understanding the human mind. Cons- It might be too mysterious at some points in the long term. I just hope they decide whether or not to include supernatural elements for sure at some point. Note to Parents- This is probably not something that you want your kids watching. Recommendation- I’d say that this is pretty good to watch. My Viewing Habits- I plan to see as much of this as I can and have watched since the first episode aired. Prediction- I might last if the good streaming numbers keep up. Otherwise, it will be toast pretty soon after that. Reception: positive. Grade: B-.

 

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on CBS all access. It is unknown when this is coming out. I could not find out more information upon further research as I doubt google would be helpful with this.

 

The Bite: This is a planned mini-series. It is set to air in 2021. It pertains to life in New York City and a fictionalized version of events that take place. I think that it relates to zombies in some way, but I can’t remember much else about it. This is available now.

 

Would I Lie to You?: In this show, people are told stories and they have to tell reality and fiction apart. I hope that this is different from To Tell the Truth. This has an unknown air date at the moment. It is set to air on the CW. Hopefully it won’t be on too late in the end.

 

Michelle King: Since she is married to the previous person, it would appear that she would probably have the same projects in the works as her husband. This section may be redundant since any similar projects that these people have would be the same thing and thus have the same information. She is working on The Good Fight. She’s also doing Evil and Girls with Guns. She will also be involved with The Bite and Would I Lie to You?

 

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on CBS all access to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

 

Review: Status- It is available online only at Paramount+. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- This could last a while if people keep using the subscription service to watch it. It will be hard to tell for sure as it goes along. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

 

Evil: This looks like it could be interesting. People investigate the supernatural in this show in the typical one woman, two men set up. This is currently streaming its second season now. We’ll see how long it might last beyond its current known run.

 

Evil: Status- Currently streaming its second season. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this to review it for a blog. Description- A woman and others have to deal with the idea of what makes one evil and if there are supernatural abilities behind it or not. Notable People- This is created by Robert and Michelle King who also did The Good Wife, The Good Fight, and BrainDead. It stars Michael Emerson from Person of Interest, Lost, and Arrow. Pros- It has a lot to offer in terms of understanding the human mind. Cons- It might be too mysterious at some points in the long term. I just hope they decide whether or not to include supernatural elements for sure at some point. Note to Parents- This is probably not something that you want your kids watching. Recommendation- I’d say that this is pretty good to watch. My Viewing Habits- I plan to see as much of this as I can and have watched since the first episode aired. Prediction- I might last if the good streaming numbers keep up. Otherwise, it will be toast pretty soon after that. Reception: positive. Grade: B-.

 

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on CBS all access. It is unknown when this is coming out. This will likely be about girls with guns. But more of a plot beyond that is unknown.

 

The Bite: This is a planned mini-series. It is set to air in 2021. It pertains to life in New York City and a fictionalized version of events that take place. I think that it relates to zombies in some way, but I can’t remember much else about it. This is available now.

 

Would I Lie to You?: In this show, people are told stories and they have to tell reality and fiction apart. I hope that this is different from To Tell the Truth. This has an unknown air date at the moment. It is set to air on the CW. Hopefully it won’t be on too late in the end.

 

Erica Tazel: This former Good Fight actress has a project in the works. I look forward to seeing what I can of her work in the future. She is set to be in A Dangerous Thing. I hope that she is okay despite this. (That’s a joke.)

 

A Dangerous Thing: This doesn’t have a plot mentioned yet. I don’t know if this would be a TV show, movie, or something else. It is said to be a thriller, which makes sense. It also does not have a release date at this point in time.

 

Poppy Montgomery: I don’t know if she acts less now than she used to. We’ll see what she does. I finally have a new update of hers. She will be in something called Christmas on the Farm. That could be good.

 

Christmas on the Farm: This is set for release on December 23, 2021. It is about a woman who does strange things in order to get her book published and it is a romantic comedy of sorts. Is this a Hallmark movie? I’m unsure right now.

 

Jaimie Alexander: This Blindspot actress will now be the first alumni from that show to be covered in this blog. I actually now have another one covered in a different blog. After not being in the third Thor movie, she will be returning for the fourth one, Thor: Love and Thunder. It’s about time that I can finally include parts of the MCU in this or any of my blogs. You might see me review every MCU film now at some point, or at least the ones relevant to Thor which will include the first three Thor movies and more than likely the first four Avengers movies.

 

Thor: Love and Thunder: This is set for release on May 6, 2022. There isn’t much of a plot known to this yet. I have no idea what the conflict would be based on the title. But I look forward to the film and will now have to get a bunch of other MCU films on DVD and finally get caught up on what I haven’t seen of the franchise on Disney+ at some point.

 

Enrique Murciano: He has started to do something new called Tell Me Your Secrets. That is the only project of his that he is currently doing at the moment right now. I hope that he does more when he is able. If not, I’ll keep track of him anyways. He will also be in a TV show called Panic. Another thing he will be doing is Father of the Bride.

 

Tell Me Your Secrets: This is available now. It is a TV series. It will focus on three different main characters that have mysterious pasts and trying to find some way forward, it seems. It is an Amazon Prime original show. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-Z3Ur6KdSM

 

Thoughts on trailer: It sure seems like a lot is going on in this show at once. There are kidnappings or at least one. There is a woman in witness protection. And there are a lot of, well, secrets, as to be expected. I might be interested in this more, if it seemed like it had more of a straightforward plot that isn’t too all over the place.

 

Panic: This is an Amazon original series that is available now. The plot relates to seniors playing a game where they risk their lives confronting their fears in order to win money, but only one will win. There is a trailer for this that I will talk about. This has been cancelled.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uci9ZDTL7zQ

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks like it could be interesting. It also seems a bit cliché, full of the standard amount of material in a lot of thriller films. I might like to see it at some point in time, but am fine without it, even though it looks good.

 

Father of the Bride: This has no trailer yet. It also has no release date. It seems to be about a Cuban-American family dealing with his upcoming daughter’s wedding and a lot of other issues too, potentially. I guess it could be similar to some of what we’ve seen already, or maybe not.

 

Hugh Bonneville: This actor from Downton Abbey will be the first of any people from that show to be covered in this blog here. (That show is on my second list of things to watch from right now, but I have not yet been able to watch it.) Anyways, he has lots of things in the works right now. A thing he is doing is To Olivia. Yet another thing that he’s doing is Bernie’s Gift. He’ll also be in The Amazing Maurice. Two more things that he is set to be in are Silent Hours and Downton Abbey 2. And he’ll also be in I Came By. We’ll see what else he’ll be in.

 

To Olivia: This is set for release on February 19, 2021. It is about the bad relationship between Patricia Neal and Roald Dahl so this is about a real relationship it seems. It does not have an American release date as the year said relates to the UK. This could be out, but until I know more about whether or not it will be in the US, I will still be including this in the updates.

 

Bernie’s Gift: This has no release date or trailer right now. The plot sounds complicated from what I understand of it online. This relates to a man recruiting two people in order to go on an adventure of sorts relating to food and other things.

 

The Amazing Maurice: This had no release date at the moment. This seems to be a take on the pied piper story from a previously unseen cat’s perspective. I hope that they can improve on this fucked up story that kids are told for no good reason. There is not yet a trailer for this as it is still filming at the moment of the writing of this paragraph.

 

Silent Hours: This is a 2 hour TV movie set to air on September 1, 2021. We get another fugitive movie as a PI is accused of being a sexual killer. I am lead to believe that he isn’t one. But who is? And why was this person accused instead? I don’t know that much about the availability of this so I will keep it in the updates at least for now until I know something different about it.

 

Downton Abbey 2: This is set for release on March 18, 2022. It is filming now. It is a follow up movie to the first movie set after the TV series in general. I wouldn’t know for sure what all this might cover, but I look forward to seeing it.

 

I Came By: This has no trailer yet. It is set for release in 2022. The plot is about someone who does graffiti that discovers a secret that could harm him and others. It does not sound too original, but could be interesting.

 

Sullivan Stapleton: He has two different projects in the works. You’ll recognize one of them as it is Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men. I wonder if there should be a shorter title for it. He’s also set to be in a show called Fires.

 

Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men: This had no release date or trailer at the moment right now. Apparently in this movie, a mother tells her daughter about her sex life in hopes that her daughter will learn from this.

 

Fires: This is a miniseries set to air sometime in 2021. It is about the Australian bush fires from not too long ago and is set to air in that country. I don’t know what network this will air on nor am I familiar with Australian networks or streaming sites.
