Politics: We’re Taking it to The Supreme Court

A new phrase has emerged in the US political vernacular. It seems that some in the Republican Party are now loving to pass controversial laws and insisting that these laws will stand with the phrase, “We’re taking it to the Supreme Court.” This phrase is not, actually, a good one. Why are they saying this? Well, it is quite clear that it is to rally their base and insist that all of this is good and is certain to stand after these certain legal challenges. But it is a very flawed phrase. This blog post will point out why for those who don’t already know.

Now as it is already known that Republicans love stirring up their base. This relates to many things of generic phrases that don’t make sense to most people. But I guess that Republicans are drunk with power and want to remind us that they’ve had control of the courts since the 1970s. And they think that the courts will go along with any horrible law that they make.

One can only hope that this won’t work. I don’t think that it will. Even with 6 conservative justices on the court, one would only hope that this line of thinking isn’t something that would work. While the court has ruled against the voting rights that would be at stake if the cases at hand make it to the court, they probably wouldn’t like being used all the time as people who just want to randomly always agree with whatever the Republican part of the legislative branch would want them to side with.

Case in point: Donald Trump. He probably thought that he had a slam dunk case when it came to his attempts to overturn the election in 2020. But the Supreme Court refused to hear it. Even though he used the phrase now popular with conservatives, they wouldn’t just go willy nilly with whatever changes he wanted them to. Plus, they should know better after the last time that they decided to hear a case on a presidential election.

Still, this phrase probably isn’t going anywhere any time soon. They are going to keep saying it as a way of justifying whatever horrible laws they pass. And we can only hope that if it does wind up before the Supreme Court, that the Republicans are handed the loss that they do so desperately deserve to have.

The Chris Noth Sexual Misconduct Allegations

There is less than an hour left before the day is over and I just started writing this post. I wanted to address this topic in a special post first before I did anything else in this blog. This is because of how this was a fairly recent topic to cover and I wanted to get it done soon. That means if I weren’t so cursed with not being able to see movies in theaters, this would still show up first instead of one on either of the two Kingsman films that are on DVD already.

 

Now let’s get to the actual point of this blog. Most people who followed The Good Wife would know that Chris Noth played the important role of Peter Florrick, despite never being in the main cast for some odd reason. He was accused by many people thus far about sexual misconduct.

 

I’ve seen far too much of SVU in my life. Thus, the fact that he’s claiming that some of these encounters with these accusers seems like he’s guilty of those accusations. How often does a rapist try to gaslight his accusers by saying something like that? Why isn’t the claim more often that it never happened?

 

I won’t speak to his guilt as that as of yet remains unknown. What I do know is that he was fired from his role in The Equalizer and he also was dropped by an acting agency, lost a $12 million deal relating to his tequila, was pulled from a Peloton ad, and was not set to appear again in the show And Just Like That. If you want to know more about what we know thus far, here’s a list of links about this:

And after these links from Wikipedia are shared, I won’t do much except end this post. I don’t know whether or not he is guilty of all this. We’ll have to wait and see what happens with this. At least in some places, he seems guilty, but that might be up to the courts or just the court of public opinion to judge him. We should take the accusations seriously. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Cast Update 2-4-2022

While I’m unsure if I’ll finally return to theaters for the first time since the pandemic started to see The King’s Man, I am glad that I can at least see some of this stuff on DVD due to a video rental store merely existing still where I live. It isn’t the one that I used to have and rely on for the longest time. But it should hopefully be able to help me out to see a whole lot of movies that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to see at all through the use of one of these. Of course, there are other ways to see movies, such as streaming. But I’m not sure if I could get everything out of just one streaming service. I’m also unsure if I could do that with a video rental store, but I feel like I have better options with new releases with renting videos instead of just streaming them.

Here’s a paragraph worth going in multiple blogs. While you all know by now that I’m really behind with some of the reviews of movies and am trying to get caught up on that, I’m hoping (but am making no promises) that things will be done during the month of February since there will not be a lot of shows on this month due to the Winter Olympics. But if I only have the chance to watch movies on weekends, that would be a problem with getting caught up. I should tell you that at least one movie was watched for one of my blogs in this month’s post. I think that it is possible to get the rest of them either done or know if I can’t do it at all. You’ll never know what movie or what blog will get the long awaited update. But know that I do finally have the time and can only hope that the weather stays good and I stay healthy.

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. It might be more of a major role, but I don’t know how much yet.

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. He is set to be in Keeper of the Cup. I hope that he does more over time, although what he has done, I haven’t been able to see.

Keeper of the Cup: This is about disappointed fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs. It has no release date or trailer just yet. I can’t tell that much about it just yet. But I do think that this could be a heist film, but that isn’t yet clear.

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 is set to be in the third season of Snowpiercer.

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: 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. This appears to be out now and I won’t be able to see it so I’ll be removing it from the updates.

Snowpiercer: This is a TNT TV show. I don’t know when it airs. It is about people on a train in a dystopian future. There is a lot of drama and classism. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to see this series or not. But it will remain in the updates as long as Archie remains a part of this show in the future.

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 Paramount+ 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. It is out now 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. Well, just like with Emerald City, this has found new life again and is set to air on HBO. There is a teaser for this show now: 

Teaser link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYBuU32B8PI

Thoughts on teaser: I wish that we could find out more about this, but I guess that we will have to wait until something else is known. It actually says more in the description of this video link than anything this teaser mentions. I hope that more can be known in the future with an official trailer and not just this one. If you don’t see one in the next post, then you might not see one at all. But this could be in the blog for a while regardless of if I’m able to see it.

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 at 8/7 Central on Tuesdays on FOX. 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 8/7 Central on FOX on Tuesdays. 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. 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! One last thing he’s in now is Marlowe.

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. This is no longer on imdb.

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. 

Jay Exci review of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf2YTtsyFg8

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. There is a trailer for this now: 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBpixut4sl4

Thoughts on trailer: This looks like a very different movie than what I originally thought that it would be. It looks kind of dark, but could be worth seeing despite how this could be emotional and quite a serious topic being discussed. I had no idea of Nathan Fillion’s involvement in this so now I’ll have to include this in both my facebook groups of Drive and Firefly: Where are They Now?

Schmigadoon!: This is available now. It is streaming online. 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. 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.

Marlowe: This is named after the last name of the character in the movie that this is. There is no release date or trailer for this yet. It is about a PI tasked to find a woman’s ex lover and, as usual, there is a much bigger case that winds up going on as a result.

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 in 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. This does not appear to have a rating or later time frame of when it could be out other than last year.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on Paramount+ 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. He will also be in The Offer and The House.

Medieval: This is a movie with a release year of 2022. 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. It is currently in theaters. There is a trailer for this. There are newer trailers that I don’t care about right now, although I should have as that would have meant more than just the thoughts on a teaser being known. 

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.

I can only hope that this ends my long streak of not seeing movies in theaters again that has happened for quite a long time. But I haven’t been able to see this movie just yet. The sooner I see this, the better. After all, I have two posts of this blog that you can’t see until I have a review of this movie in here first. So here’s hoping that I’ll see it in theaters if I hadn’t seen it yet.

The Offer: This is set to be released on Paramount+ on April 28, 2022. It is about the making of The Godfather. I haven’t seen The Godfather yet. Maybe I will some day. There is a trailer for this now:

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03Z9H9mG-SI

Thoughts on trailer: This seems far too vague a trailer for this to look any good at all. This might be good, but the trailer clearly isn’t. I won’t know what else to say about this except that I hope it can do justice to the iconic movie and actually be interesting. This show does not look that interesting based on the trailer. But while I think that the trailer is bad, I’m just not sure if the show would be. I might never know.

The House: This is available now. It is a Netflix movie or something like that. It is about three different generations who have made it home over time. It could be good, but I might never know depending on what happens or where this winds up airing. There is a trailer for this now that I will talk about: 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqbZlAEUb5w

Thoughts on trailer: Um, what is this? What in the actual fuck is going on? This looks very, incredibly weird. I can’t make sense of this. I won’t be upset that I won’t be able to see this. I think that they are going for a horror something or other. This looks strange and I just can’t seem to understand what this is about. I’m fine without it. Since this is out and I’m unlikely to see it, then I’m going to be removing it from the updates in question.

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 right now.

Stay Close: This is out now. It is a TV show that I think will be on Netflix. It is about how three people’s lives are affected by something horrible that happens. But maybe some good can come out of it? There is a trailer for it: 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nonC9TyX9hM

Thoughts on trailer: This looks complicated with many layers to it. Maybe this would be a good thing to watch. Maybe it would be too confusing or hard to follow. I’m not sure how this makes sense with the description that I have for it now thus far. I guess at least I know this is a mystery. But is it one worth keeping up with? This is over already so I’m taking it out of the updates.

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. He’s currently also in a project called Fall. I guess we’ll see if that’s it or not.

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- This is currently airing its final season. Reception: largely positive. Grade: B-.

The Integrity of Joseph Chambers: This is set for release sometime in 2023. 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.

Fall: This project has very little known about it thus far. I don’t know yet what type of project this is about or even what it is about. Its release date is unknown at this time. Maybe I’ll find out more about this over time.

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 Would I Lie to You? Another thing that he is doing right now is Your Honor. And he’s doing Happy Face. That’s a lot of projects.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on Paramount+ 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 had planned to see as much of this as I can and have watched since the first episode aired. With it now on streaming, I doubt that I’ll be able to watch any new episodes of this again. 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.

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.

Your Honor: I forget if I mentioned this show before but got confused by it. But this is a show that is currently airing somewhere, even though it is on hiatus right now. It is a courtroom drama that is renewed for season 2.

Happy Face: This is a TV show. I have no idea what network this would air on. It has an unknown airdate right now. In this show, we learn that a child discovers that her father is a serial killer. This could be interesting, but it better avoid being anything like what Prodigal Son wound up being like.

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 Would I Lie to You? She’s doing Your Honor as well. Yet another thing she’s doing is Happy Face.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on Paramount+ 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.

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.

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.

Your Honor: I forget if I mentioned this show before but got confused by it. But this is a show that is currently airing somewhere, even though it is on hiatus right now. It is a courtroom drama that is renewed for season 2. This airs on Showtime.

Happy Face: This is a TV show. I have no idea what network this would air on. It has an unknown airdate right now. In this show, we learn that a child discovers that her father is a serial killer. This could be interesting, but it better avoid being anything like what Prodigal Son wound up being like.

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 in The Devil You Know. That’s all that I currently see of hers at the moment as not much else is mentioned here just yet if it will be at all.

The Devil You Know: In this movie, a man has to try to make things right for himself after spiraling one way and not going back to his dark ways of the past or something like that. It has no release date at this moment. Hopefully, one will happen. This might be on Tubi at some point, if it isn’t already at this point in time. It does not appear to be out yet.

Poppy Montgomery: I don’t know if she acts less now than she used to. We’ll see what she does. She does not have any projects in the works as of this post. Maybe this will change by a future post. For now, there is nothing else new for this part.

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. She’s also set to be in Chase.

Thor: Love and Thunder: This is set for release on July 8, 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 at some point. 

Chase: This has no release date or trailer yet. It sounds interesting and follows a missing person plot that I find interesting for some reason. It does throw some twists at you with it being a man looking for the woman he is divorcing, potentially spoiling the end if it turns out to be a happy one for him and her. But I look forward to it in time.

Enrique Murciano: He is doing Father of the Bride. There isn’t too much else to say about him other than that so far as there aren’t any other projects that I see right here for him. I don’t think that there is too much else to talk about.

Father of the Bride: This has no trailer yet. It has a release year of 2022. 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 that he’s doing is Bernie’s Gift. He’ll also be in The Amazing Maurice. Another thing he is set to be in is Downton Abbey: A New Era. And he’ll also be in I Came By. We’ll see what else he’ll be in.

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 is set for release on February 13, 2022. 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.

Downton Abbey: A New Era: 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. There is a teaser for this now:

Teaser link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaSIjLJJRuc

Thoughts on teaser: Apparently, there are more secrets to be known about one of the characters. This may be setting up a new TV show, but I guess we’ll see about that in the end if that will happen or not. I can’t get much out of this, other than the fact that there will be a new castle in France. But what else could happen in the film?

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. I might never know.

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. Another thing he is set to do is After the Verdict.

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. There is a trailer for this now: 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBpixut4sl4

Thoughts on trailer: This looks like a very different movie than what I originally thought that it would be. It looks kind of dark, but could be worth seeing despite how this could be emotional and quite a serious topic being discussed. I had no idea of Nathan Fillion’s involvement in this so now I’ll have to include this in both my facebook groups of Drive and Firefly: Where are They Now?

After the Verdict: This is set to air sometime in 2022. It is about four people and their lives relating to a high profile murder trial. I don’t yet know where this is airing or streaming, but I do plan to watch if I can as it could be interesting.

Hank Steinberg: He has no projects known in the works right now. I hope to see more from him in the future. We’ll see if more happens or not. He might appear at some point in time in something, but this has not happened yet.

Jessica Brown Findlay: She’s in a lot of projects. One is a show called Castlevania. A second is Life after Life. A third thing is The hanging sun. A fourth thing that she is in is Iris Warriors. A fifth thing is Whatever After.

Castlevania: This is a TV show that is out now. It is based on a video game of the same name. This is on Netflix. In this show, a vampire hunter wants to save a city from all sorts of otherworldly creatures. That is about all that I can mention about it for now.

Iris Warriors: This is set for release on April 2, 2022. In this movie, two warriors have to fight against their evil mother to try to bring color back to the universe. They have to bring light and beauty into the world. You’d think that they’d win, but I guess that we’ll see. There is a trailer for this: 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcG_UGrv4wI

Thoughts on trailer: This looks all like, huh? What? Huh? I think that this looks like it could have some good parts to it, but there are confusing aspects. This is set during what seems to be World War II, but that’s just a frame story while this dancing weird thing going on. Is this a kid’s movie then? I’m confused by some of this.

Whatever After: This has no release date yet. It also has no plot. It is a miniseries of some sort. What else is there for me to say about it? I’m unsure. Hopefully more about this will be known over time. One can only hope that it will.

The hanging sun: This has no release date at the moment. In it, a hitman who is on the run seeks refuge in a village, but there are other things going on as well. I don’t want to just copy and paste what imbd says as I don’t think that I can.

Life after Life: Based on a book, this TV show is about a woman who keeps dying and being reborn over and over again, living out different lives in the end. It has no release date yet and I’m unsure what network or streaming service it might be on or if it will be in the American places or if it will be foreign. It is hard to know what goes on with projects sometimes.
