0:03
What's up y'all? And welcome back.
0:06
To Danny to talk. I'm your host, Robert.
0:08
And today? Today we're going to be talking
0:12
about my favorite movies and TV. Shows for 2023.
0:20
So this is part of my multi day thing.
0:27
Where each day. I'm talking about something
0:29
different. So last episode I did an episode
0:32
talking about my favorite games. For the year.
0:35
Like I said, this episode is TV and movies and then next episode
0:39
will be anime and manga. So yeah, so if if you're.
0:44
Into all that stuff, as well as discussions on family and
0:47
fatherhood stick. Around Check your boy out
0:51
everywhere at. Danny's to talk so.
0:54
Yeah. So before I dive.
0:56
Into my list, I'll just say. In general, I feel.
1:01
Like this was a. Pretty strong year for shows.
1:07
And movies and I guess. More so like.
1:10
On with the show side. Me kind of exploring and finding
1:16
more shows on different. Platforms to check out.
1:19
'Cause this is my. First year diving into the.
1:24
Apple TV catalog. And I have.
1:26
A couple of shows on here. That I discovered on there that
1:31
made it very high on my TV list and so and.
1:35
As far as movies? Go I feel like it was a pretty,
1:38
pretty solid amount of movies I actually make.
1:41
And I counted. I actually went to the theater.
1:44
At least 18 times this year to see various movies.
1:50
And a handful of those I went to with my family in different
1:56
combinations that I'll mention. Later on.
1:59
So because there was some stuff I saw.
2:01
With just me and my. Wife, me and my.
2:03
Oldest son saw some stuff. Me and my.
2:05
Middle Son saw some stuff. And me and my twin.
2:07
Daughter saw some stuff so. I was.
2:11
Planning on maybe trying to. Take Vash, my youngest.
2:14
To see something for the first time in the.
2:15
Theater because there was like. A.
2:19
What was it? The.
2:19
Paw Patrol Movie but. I can remember.
2:22
What happened? Just life.
2:23
And stuff happened around that time.
2:24
And we weren't able to. Make it so, but hopefully.
2:27
Next year that might be maybe something I can, you know, see
2:30
if I can get him. Contained and sat down long.
2:33
Enough for a. For a movie of source.
2:37
But but yeah, so like I said, overall I.
2:39
Feel like this was a. Pretty strong year, I'm
2:44
probably. Not going to spend like super
2:46
long time going over each of these.
2:48
Things or whatever because. More than likely, most of the
2:52
stuff. I'm gonna talk about both.
2:53
Movies and TV shows I've done separate reviews.
3:00
For. Most of the stuff I'm gonna talk
3:03
about, so if you're interested. In more in depth.
3:05
Thoughts on a lot of this stuff? Whatever.
3:07
Then check. Around either on my YouTube.
3:10
Channel or on podcast feeds. For these respective episodes,
3:15
so yeah. So I think.
3:19
I think I'm gonna start off. With movies 'cause.
3:21
Even though this is a little bit longer list.
3:26
I think I'll be able. To kind of just like give just
3:28
like quick thoughts on these? Versus the TV shows, so.
3:32
Yeah. So I guess let's let's kind of
3:34
dive. Into dive into the.
3:40
Movies. So sorry about that.
3:43
So. I did my best to put these in
3:47
as. Smooth as an order.
3:49
As possible so. I'm a go with my number.
3:55
I think I did 10. Yeah, so my number. 10 on this
4:00
list. Is going to be.
4:02
John Wick 4. Now this is one I saw.
4:09
Maybe like a good month or? So past this initial.
4:13
Theatrical. Run just because I can't.
4:15
Remember what was going. On around that time, but you
4:18
know. Probably busy with life.
4:19
For. My kids.
4:20
Sports stuff. Whatever.
4:21
I just. Wasn't able to make it.
4:23
Out on time to see it. But just like all the.
4:30
Other John Wick movies. It is pretty.
4:32
Much at this point 4 movies in you.
4:37
Kind of know going in that this is going to be.
4:42
A. Just action-packed.
4:44
Adrenaline filled multiple hours of.
4:50
Jess Oh and ah, and just seeing just all the crazy and unique
4:54
ways John Wick is taking out all these people.
4:58
Killing them and stuff so. Honestly, I don't.
5:02
Go to these movies. For anything more than that, but
5:05
overall. It was a really solid movie, but
5:08
like I said, I don't really go to it.
5:09
For much more than just. Shut off my brain.
5:13
Watch a bunch of very well choreographed.
5:18
Fight scenes and stuff. Whatever with some pretty cool.
5:22
Looking characters so. Yeah, so that that.
5:25
That's my #10. John Wick 4 now #9 is.
5:33
One that I saw recently. This is.
5:38
And I think, I think I have no, actually no I haven't.
5:43
Talked about this on the. Podcast in depth because that's.
5:46
Something I'm planning to do. Early next year in conjunction.
5:49
Or something. But but that'll be the.
5:51
Iron Claw, which is based off of a true story.
5:56
On. The wrestling family.
5:58
The von. Erichs now.
6:02
This movie was so gut. Wrenching in so many ways.
6:08
Because I knew. Going into the movie.
6:10
That the History of the von Ehrich.
6:13
Family was one filled with. Just a path of just devastation
6:22
and sadness. And stuff like that, but.
6:25
Actually getting to watch this movie and see the events.
6:30
Of what all happened? Just kind of hit.
6:34
So much harder, especially because.
6:39
I didn't. Know but the von Erich.
6:41
Family and a lot. Of it took place.
6:43
Or kind of is based here. In the Dallas.
6:47
Fort Worth area so I. Live in DFW.
6:50
Metro Place here in Texas. And the Von Erich family live in
6:55
the Dallas area. But, but I think, I think they
6:58
were mainly up in the Denton area at least.
7:01
That's where their house and stuff was, so but yeah.
7:05
So like I said, pretty much this was just two hours of just.
7:09
Pain and sadness just. Watching cause 'cause pretty
7:13
much and and this is something I don't mind.
7:15
Spoiling too much or whatever, but.
7:17
Just because it's based off of a true story and.
7:19
Stuff but. The fact that like out of all
7:23
the Von Erich siblings, all the one.
7:28
That's kind of left. Standing by the end.
7:30
Which was just. Like I can't even imagine.
7:34
Being the one left. And like I said, just all the
7:38
tragedies. That happened in that movie, so.
7:40
But yeah, like I said that that that is one that I highly
7:42
recommend checking out cuz like I said it.
7:45
It's just a really good story. As both.
7:49
A little bit cuz I, you know, I grew up watching wrestling and
7:51
things like that or whatever. I don't really watch it so much.
7:53
Now but getting. Some historical background stuff
8:00
from. The wrestling side.
8:02
But then also as a. Family person myself, seeing you
8:07
know. This father kind of pushing his.
8:10
Sons and pushing his family. To the extreme and the.
8:15
Expectations and stuff that that.
8:16
Kind of led to so, but yes, so the iron.
8:19
Claw is my #9. Movie.
8:22
All right, so #8 for me is going to be.
8:26
Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Now this is.
8:30
One I saw this with. My oldest son, majority.
8:35
Of the Well, a good a good amount of the Marvel movies he
8:38
goes and watches with. Me for the most part.
8:41
When, when, when our. Schedules kind of line up and we
8:44
both can. Get free, but I don't.
8:47
Have too much to say on this one, aside from just the fact.
8:49
That it was a great. Send off for the guardians.
8:56
Now I'm not like a. Super crazy heavy comic book
9:00
nerd, but I have seen all of the.
9:02
MCU Movies and I. Think all of the.
9:04
TV shows, There might be. Maybe one?
9:06
That has eluded me, I. Think but I think.
9:08
I've pretty much seen it all and but yes, if if.
9:14
We get nothing else, Guardians of the Galaxy as far as like, a
9:17
dedicated. Movie or anything for them,
9:19
whatever I feel like. This was a great way to wrap all
9:24
their stuff up. And kind of.
9:26
Set up some other stuff. Going forward for.
9:31
Them so, yeah. So, Guardians.
9:32
Of the Galaxy 3? Very.
9:34
Awesome. And on a tangent, I'll.
9:36
Mention this again because I'll mention it every time I get if
9:39
you enjoy the Guardians and you're.
9:44
Into video games. Check out the.
9:47
Marvels. Guardians of the Galaxy video.
9:50
Game they came out a. Couple of years ago.
9:54
That game. Was super dope, Super.
9:56
Fun. I did a whole.
9:59
Episode discussion on that. A couple episode discussions.
10:01
On that couple years ago, so go dig those.
10:04
Up whatever, but I just got to recommend that since.
10:06
I'm talking about this movie. If you enjoy these characters in
10:10
this kind of. World and stuff.
10:12
Go check out that. Game as well.
10:14
All right, so number. This was 7 so. #7 I'm kind of.
10:22
Doing a little a little slight cheat but.
10:26
Hey, this is my show. I do what I want to do.
10:31
It's kind of a. Double header tie because both
10:35
of these movies. I got to go see with my twin.
10:38
Daughters and that is. Barbie and The Little Mermaid.
10:44
Live action Movies Now. I'll speak on little.
10:49
Mermaid first. So, Little Mermaid.
10:52
And and I think, I think. Did we do a review together on
10:56
Little Mermaid I? Think I think.
10:58
I think. I had my daughters.
10:59
On the. Podcast to talk about little.
11:01
Mermaid back then. But I'll just say that was just
11:05
a special moment for me. As a family.
11:09
Because you know. I grew up watching.
11:12
All the classic Disney movies as a lot of us.
11:14
Did and. My daughters you know of.
11:16
Course love all that stuff too. And so not only the.
11:22
Fact that they were doing a. Live action thing, whatever.
11:24
Which those are. Kind of being.
11:26
With some of that stuff. You know Aladdin and Lion King
11:29
and. Different stuff, whatever like
11:30
that. But it was very important
11:35
because of just the the. Impact for them seeing, and I
11:44
believe I'm getting her name right.
11:45
Hopefully Halle Bailey seeing her.
11:50
Somebody that looks like my. Daughters.
11:53
Like. They they love her singing and
11:56
stuff and they also. Enjoyed Past.
11:58
Shows and stuff that her sister were in back in the.
12:01
Day. So getting to just go.
12:04
Watch and experience that movie. With them was something very
12:07
special to me and. Just hearing her sing those.
12:13
Classic songs and stuff, just like.
12:16
Watched over me in a way. Just sent chills down my spine.
12:20
And it was just truly. A beautiful thing to experience.
12:23
And then? The Barbie movie, that was
12:26
something kind of different. Because I wasn't, really.
12:28
Sure. Like what to expect?
12:30
With that going in. But I feel like it.
12:33
Had lots of it had. Like a good mix?
12:38
Of. Comedy and.
12:40
Stuff along with kind of. Detailing some of like.
12:45
The historical background with Barbie.
12:49
And how the Barbie and Mattel and all that stuff.
12:52
Runs whatever likes it with that mix of comedy, but also kind of.
12:56
Touching and some, some. Kind of more and more.
13:01
Serious life topics about equality with.
13:04
Men and women and showing that, hey, you know.
13:07
Women can be more than. Just, you know, the typical.
13:12
You know housewife. Or the quote UN quote Barbie or
13:15
whatever. They're like, hey, Barbie can be
13:17
more Barbie. Can be a doctor president.
13:20
Lawyer. That whatever it gets me to be.
13:22
Mechanic yada yada yada so. That was something that was also
13:26
like such as like very cool to see with them and stuff as.
13:29
Well, so, yeah, so Next up to 346, so number.
13:39
Six is going to be. Creed 3 Now this one.
13:50
Was super dope on multiple levels for me because so me and
13:58
my wife. Have a history of going to see
14:01
all of the Creed movies in theaters.
14:04
So it was something that we know we were kind of like looking
14:07
back on or whatever. And it was.
14:09
Kind of real it was. It was like, oh, we have.
14:10
Seen all of these movies. Together over the years and.
14:15
So it was like, OK, you know, we have to let me see Creed movies.
14:23
So it's like. It's like, you know, we have to
14:25
go. And see this.
14:28
Together, just like the past two because.
14:30
Let me see. Creed One was 2015.
14:33
So that was within. The first year of me.
14:36
And my wife. Getting together and stuff and.
14:41
Let me see, when was Creed two? So I'm trying to see if I can
14:46
find a date 'cause that was 2015 create two, let me see 2018 so.
15:00
Three years later and. It would.
15:04
That was what, like five months after our baby boy was born?
15:10
So it's kind of like our first time.
15:12
Going to the movies together. Which I'm trying.
15:14
I don't remember how we even pull.
15:16
That off, I assume he stayed with some.
15:19
Family or something or whatever. But yeah.
15:22
'Cause like I said, he would have only been like.
15:26
Five months 5. Six months old at the time, so
15:31
that was another milestone. And then?
15:32
Now, earlier this year. Whatever.
15:35
Now you know 2023. You know 7.
15:40
Eight years together. You know, it's like, wow, you
15:46
know. So much has happened over our
15:47
lives over. The course of.
15:48
Over the course of these movies. But.
15:50
But yeah, so this movie. Like it has so much weight and
15:58
impact in it. Like seeing?
16:02
Both Lord my my, my. Brain is blanking.
16:11
Why? Why is my brain?
16:12
Blanking right now. Michael B Jordan and Lord My.
16:21
Brain is like, really trash. Right now, Jonathan Majors,
16:26
Michael. B Jordan and Jonathan Majors.
16:28
Saying those two go at it and they're bond.
16:33
And relationship in that movie. Instead of the story of two
16:37
childhood best friends who kind. Of grew up almost like.
16:39
Brothers and one of them gets in.
16:41
Trouble goes away for. Most of their.
16:45
Lives or whatever and then comes back and kind of.
16:48
Feels like he is old. Something and just watching that
16:53
clash and just seeing like, like.
16:55
The way the movie was. Shot during the fights and
16:59
stuff. Whatever.
16:59
Like like as a? Nerd as an anime fan.
17:04
I could see. Michael B Jordan.
17:07
'S love of anime and. Stuff showing through that film.
17:11
Because there were definitely. Some shots and.
17:14
Punches and hits and stuff. Whatever.
17:16
Like like like me and my. Wife were sitting in the theater
17:18
like. Oh, oh, like, like.
17:20
We bobbing and weaving like we in the fighting.
17:22

17:28
Time watching it. And stuff, So yeah.
17:33
So Next up number. Let me see.
17:37

17:52
Is going to be spider man across the spider verse now.
18:00
This movie. This one and the.
18:02
Next one I'll talk I'm. Going to talk about I got to see
18:04
with my my middle son, who's he was 10.
18:09
At the time, he's 11 now. It was just.
18:13
Such a such a dope movie because I really enjoyed.
18:18
The first into the spider. Verse movie that came out some
18:21
years back and so seeing them. Come back to this and.
18:25
Just kind of like literally. Wrap things up a whole other
18:29
level was truly. A sight to behold and.
18:33
I just love seeing. So many.
18:37
References of Spider man stuff that I do know.
18:39
And stuff that I don't. Know so them pulling all.
18:42
These different variants and variations of spider man across.
18:46
All the many years. Of the comics.
18:47
And stuff. Whatever was really cool to see
18:51
and. Stuff so and like I.
18:52
Said. It was just, like, really cool
18:52
to, you know, watch that with my son.
18:55
And same thing. With my #4.
18:58
Which is? Teenage Mutant?
19:00
Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem now. This. 1.
19:07
So. My, my son.
19:10
He didn't really. I don't think from.
19:12
My knowledge I don't think. He has too much.
19:15
Personal history. In connection with the Ninja
19:18
Turtle stuff. Whatever.
19:19
But this movie was done so well 'cause first of all, like.
19:26
The. Art style that they chose.
19:28
For this movie is so. Unique, but really.
19:31
Fits with the. The.
19:35
Characters and the story. And the vibe and stuff of this
19:38
movie. Because I remember when I.
19:40
First saw. When I first saw.
19:43
Like like like the the 1st. Trailers.
19:47
For it. Immediately I was like that
19:51
looks. Very different.
19:52
And very interesting and stuff. And then they kind of like
19:55
addict kicker. To it was the like. * Studded
19:59
voice cast you had. Seth Rogen, you had IO Edeberry,
20:06
who? I'm.
20:07
I'm talking. About another show that she's.
20:09
In the bear it was. Kind of like.
20:12
I saw her. In a lot of stuff this year,
20:13
which was awesome. But those two?
20:15
Jackie Chan? John Cena, Ice Cube.
20:20
Post Malone. Giancarlo Esposito, Paul Rudd.
20:26
Like so many people. Who I enjoy.
20:32
Their works from various other places all coming together in.
20:36
This and it was so. Dope and them having.
20:42
It was kind of like. The perfect bland to where it
20:44
was a fun movie for. My son and new people.
20:48
Who are too familiar with this word in.
20:50
This franchise, but they're saying.
20:51
Like all the other references that they.
20:53
Sprinkled in there like they. Had a like a Donatello had on a
20:58
JoJo. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure hoodie.
21:01
And. Stuff and they've referenced.
21:03
Attack on Titan. Which you know, my son.
21:06
So my, my, my son that went. With me, my middle son.
21:09
He's the one that. He's into anime and stuff as
21:12
well, so. He got some of the.
21:14
References and stuff like that. And one of my.
21:17
Favorite moments was when Superfly came out to the literal
21:22
songs. I'm Superfly was.
21:25
So dope, but overall super super awesome and fun movie.
21:31
And I look forward to hopefully them doing another one.
21:35
Now getting to the. Home.
21:37
Stretch for the movie stuff. So coming.
21:40
In at #3 for me. Is.
21:43
Going. To be Blue Giant.
21:48
Now Blue giant is a animated. Movie.
21:55
Based off. Of a manga now now.
21:57
The manga for this is. One that since.
22:00
The very start of this podcast and I started physically
22:04
collecting manga and stuff. Blue Giant is a series.
22:08
That I always wanted to get into and to check out.
22:12
Because every. Time.
22:14
I go into Barnes. And nobles or books A.
22:16
Million or whatever bookstore and I.
22:19
See. Those covers of the series.
22:21
Just like those, like thick. Black Books with just.
22:25
Like a blue silhouette with the with the texting blue saying
22:28
blue giant. And then the main.
22:30
Character there with his saxophone.
22:32
Or whatever I was like. This just speaks to my.
22:35
Heart and my. Love of stuff like.
22:36
This like anime. I've told you before like.
22:39
Kids on the slope and stuff. Like that.
22:42
But when I heard that they were doing a movie.
22:45
For this I was like. Perfect.
22:47
This would be perfect. And I got to say, this movie
22:52
like hit my soul in such a strong.
22:57
Way, 'cause, like I said, just like kids on the slope A.
23:00
Very emotional journey seeing. This young guy chasing his
23:06
dreams of wanting to, to, to. Become a.
23:12
Playing his saxophone. And become a jazz musician.
23:15
And stuff like that in Japan and then you know, working towards
23:18
the. Bigger goal of getting known
23:20
worldwide and just. Seeing his journey.
23:24
And the people that he meet along the way, the friends and
23:27
connections he make with his band.
23:29
And the trials and tribulations that they go through.
23:32
And just me thinking back. On that movie right now.
23:35
Just. Makes me want to go and watch it
23:37
again, but and getting to. See it?
23:41
In the theater. On the big screen with the the
23:45
visual flair that they got gave it because I.
23:47
Think that one of the. Directors that worked on this.
23:51
Is somebody who worked on the. MOB Cycle 100.
23:54
Anime series and y'all know when it comes to.
23:56
Visuals and stuff that show. Got it.
23:58
And so seeing that here on display on the big.
24:01
Screen with the sound. System of a movie.
24:06
Theater. So hearing the.
24:08
The saxophone and the different. Music and stuff, whatever the.
24:11
Beat of the. Drums and stuff it.
24:13
Just like it really hits. Your soul and.
24:16
Then like I said, like some of the stuff that happens in the.
24:18
Story it is like. Yo, this was insane.
24:23
So by a blue. Giant, definitely.
24:26
Super memorable. And definitely.
24:29
Makes me interested to even more.
24:32
Hopefully maybe they make more movies or anime.
24:35
Shows and stuff. But if not.
24:37
I do look forward to. At some point, hopefully.
24:40
Finally getting to jump into the manga.
24:43
Now #2 on my. List is going to be.
24:48
Another. Surprise that I just watched
24:51
recently. And that is going.
24:53
To be Godzilla -1. Now this is another.
25:00
One I just. Did a review.
25:01
Discussion of this and. I know the.
25:05
Movie. I saw that same.
25:05
Week and I didn't mean to put on this list, but the the.
25:08
The Ghibli movie, The Boy and the Heroine.
25:12
I did a review of that like a few.
25:13
Weeks ago, so go check. It out.
25:14
But yeah, but Godzilla -1 now. There have been dozens and
25:19
dozens of Godzilla. Projects across my lifetime.
25:24
And even long before I was born. And.
25:27
So I've enjoyed some. Of them here and there, of
25:30
course, I have not seen. All of.
25:33
Them. I've seen some here.
25:35
And there over the years. But something about.
25:38
This one and the white. People were talking about it.
25:41
Maybe be like OK maybe. I should take some time and go
25:43
and see this. Especially when I saw it was
25:46
going to be just like a limited theatrical run.
25:48
I was like, OK, I got to give. This some time and man.
25:52
I am so glad that I did because. The.
25:56
Seeing the human connection that they tie.
25:59
In with Godzilla across this. Movie that takes.
26:04
Place across several years. Of this person's life was super.
26:10
Cool. And once again, the movie
26:14
theater. Experience when Godzilla is
26:17
powering up. For his.
26:19
Basic kind of like blast. Breath, energy beam, thing,
26:23
whatever. Just just had the, the, the, the
26:29
theater shaken with it or? Whatever.
26:32
It was just like. Super dope.
26:34
Super cool. So, yeah, so.
26:37
And. This brings me to my number one
26:41
movie that I enjoyed. This year.
26:46
Now this is. One I wasn't too sure about
26:52
going in. Now I.
26:55
Had a feeling? I would enjoy.
26:56
It because it was a. You know it's a Christopher
26:58
Nolan film. He usually does.
27:00
Really good with those. Movies and stuff.
27:01
Whatever. So, but the subject matter I was
27:05
like, I don't know, but I was interested in just because of
27:08
the historical aspect of Robert J Oppenheimer.
27:13
The guy who is. Kind of seen as the the Father.
27:17
Of the atomic bomb. And this movie was stunning.
27:28
Impactful in so many ways to. Where many.
27:32
Months later, this is like. Six months later.
27:35
And every now and then I'll find myself.
27:38
Just like sitting at home. Sitting at work.
27:40
Whatever. Just thinking.
27:41
Back to that movie. And this is another one like I
27:44
said, like. Godzilla so.
27:45
I saw Oppenheimer and IMAX. So in the.
27:49
Theater biggest screen. I can see it on.
27:53
Sound effects just. Like.
27:57
The. Character seeing the basically
28:03
getting. A chance to kind of get a peek
28:05
inside. The mind behind somebody who has
28:09
basically the weight of humanity, the weight of.
28:12
His country. Or.
28:17
Multiple countries, multiple people.
28:19
'S lives weighing on him and just seeing the journey that he
28:24
went through. From.
28:27
The Beginning. Through to it to the.
28:30
Events happening and then the aftermath and stuff long past
28:35
you. Know the the bomb and stuff and
28:36
they kind of like how. The.
28:39
World and people. Treated him and saw.
28:41
Him and how they treat his family and stuff, even now,
28:45
generations and stuff later, whatever.
28:48
And learning. Just like just like.
28:49
Really cool. Just historical facts and stuff.
28:51
Because I didn't know before this movie that you know.
28:56
That he was. Around or tied in with.
29:00
Albert. Einstein and stuff so.
29:02
And just. Saying their connections and
29:04
stuff in the. Movie so but overall.
29:06
Oppenheimer, My number one movie.
29:09
Of the. Year.
29:10
Super dope. Super fantastic.
29:14
So, yeah, so. That that that's that's.
29:16
My main movies. Or my my 10.
29:19
Favorite movies that I saw? This year.
29:22
I'm trying to think. Trying to see, was there
29:26
anything else I wanted to point out from the list?
29:29
No, I think that's. It with the movies.
29:32
So let me. Take a quick little break and
29:35
then I'm gonna come. Back and talk about the.
29:38
The TV show So. Hold on one second.
29:45
OK. So let's dive.
29:47
Into some TV shows now. Before I get.
29:52
Into I got what my. Top five, I'm gonna start off.
29:55
With some honorable mentions now.
29:59
A couple of these are. Fully finished and then the.
30:02
These other couple I still. Need.
30:04
To finish, so the the. Couple that I finished.
30:10
First up is a Barry. Now this is a show this.
30:15
Is a series that I've. Heard about for.
30:17
A while, over the years and stuff.
30:20
And finally decided to give. It a shot.
30:22
And I'm glad I did while and this is.
30:25
Another one. There's a whole.
30:26
Review. That I put out.
30:28
For it recently. So you can go listen to that for
30:32
longer in depth thoughts, but. Overall, it was solid.
30:35
I feel like. You had like a very.
30:37
Strong first couple of seasons. And that third season, if I'm,
30:42
if I'm remembering quickly, that third.
30:43
Season was kind of OK. And then the beginning of the.
30:48
4th season I was like. But it kind of ended up in in a.
30:52
Kind of strong, but. Overall solid.
30:55
Show. Next up.
30:58
Is the mayor of Kingstown. Now I'm pretty.
31:03
Sure, I talked about this. On a previous episode, I don't
31:05
remember. I do a lot.
31:07
Of talking but mayor. Of Kingstown.
31:13
This one was one. That I'm trying to think.
31:20
I don't think I really. Ever even heard of it?
31:21
Before this year, I don't think. And funny enough, it it got on
31:28
my radar. Because of a A.
31:32
Certain risque naughty clip that was.
31:35
Being. Shared on Twitter.
31:39
Back in the. Summer and maybe maybe be like.
31:42
What? What?
31:43
What is this but? Yeah, but now it it it was a
31:46
really Dope Show 'cause I. I enjoy my.
31:48
Shows as y'all will see. From my list whatever shows
31:51
with. The kind of with the drama, the
31:54
grittiness. Things like that.
31:57
So Mayor of Kingstown. So I watched both seasons with
32:00
that this year. Looking forward to.
32:02
Season 3, whatever that might. Come Next up, I'm on and these
32:07
are all still. Honorable mentions is I.
32:11
Taiwan class. Now this one was a Korean drama.
32:18
I think I think it might be. Based off of a malware.
32:21
Or webstone, I can't remember but crazy thing.
32:25
Is is they're. Like I was strong.
32:27
Heavy binge watching this for a good couple of weeks because it
32:31
was like. 16. Episodes.
32:33
I think all. Like an hour a piece.
32:35
I was going hard on those. Episodes and then I.
32:39
Stopped before that last because.
32:40
I was like, I'm not ready yet. And then?
32:42
Here we are like 5. Months later, I'm still not
32:44
ready. But this one was like.
32:48
Really cool. Really dope because.
32:53
Of course I love. My family drama, dynamic stuff.
32:57
Whatever, so it follows a. Young man who?
33:04
Long story short, he moves to this new school.
33:09
He confronts a bully. The bully ends up slight
33:15
spoilers, killing his father. And then this guy.
33:20
Goes to get revenge on the. Bully ends up in jail.
33:23
For several years comes out and basically starts a revenge.
33:27
Path that takes place. Over several years, like decade.
33:31
Plus that. You watch him, basically.
33:36
Start. A restaurant because his father
33:38
and the. Guy, the bully, whatever.
33:41
They're both of their fathers worked in the food industry.
33:44
And so. His dream?
33:46
His goal? Was to start up a new food shop
33:50
to take. Down this big corporation that
33:53
the family behind his father's death or whatever and.
33:56
So lots of. Drama.
33:58
Lots of, lots of just like craziness like that and just
34:02
like. Really.
34:03
Nice core cast of characters and stuff.
34:06
A little bit of romance in there.
34:08
And stuff so but. But yeah, I time 1.
34:11
Class. Really dope.
34:13
Likes. I need to finish that last
34:14
episode. At some point and then the.
34:17
Last honorable mention I'll talk about is Peaky Blinders now once
34:24
again. This is a show.
34:25
I've heard talked about for many, many.
34:27
Many many years and decided hey now is the.
34:32
Time to start watching it. And so I just started season.
34:37
Four few hours ago, but. The way season.
34:42
Three ended was such a. Roller coaster.
34:45
Such a big blow up. To.
34:47
Where it was like, whoa. I had to stop.
34:50
For for a little bit. And be like.
34:52
That was wild and you? Mean to.
34:55
Tell me I'm only halfway through the show, I.
34:57
Got three more seasons, Seasons of this great insanity left, OK?
35:02
So, but yeah, super dope. And actually the actually the
35:07
other thing that made me start watching this 'cause I mentioned
35:10
my favorite movie of the year, Oppenheimer, the main character
35:13
of that. Is the main.
35:14
Character of Peaky Blinders and recently I watched.
35:18
Variety does. These actors on actor
35:22
discussion. Episodes on the YouTube.
35:25
Channel. Whatever.
35:26
And they had the main guy from Oppenheimer and then Margot.
35:35
Robbie from Barbie or whatever discussing about.
35:39
Each of us film and. Past works and she was talking
35:42
to him. About a lot about Peaky
35:44
Blinders. And so I was like, you know
35:45
what? Maybe it's not for me to go
35:46
ahead and start. That so, But yeah, so.
35:48
Those are my 4. Kind of honorable mentions I.
35:52
Wanted to toss out. And stuff so.
35:56
And you know I'll. I'll I'll also give a quick
35:58
shout out to to the Adventure Time spin off Fiona.
36:03
And Kate, because that ended up being so much more then I was
36:08
expecting expecting it to be and I didn't realize it was going to
36:11
be. Pretty much a full on.
36:13
Sequel. Continuation sequel to
36:16
Adventure. Time so like.
36:19
Yeah, like there was like a lot of references.
36:21
And a lot of clear stuff. They're like no.
36:23
This takes place. After Adventure Time.
36:26
So if you love adventure. Time you got to watch.
36:29
Fiona and Cake, but yeah. So.
36:33
Lots of other. Cool stuff, but.
36:35
Let's go ahead and dive into. This top five now.
36:41
All 5. Of these I have done.
36:43
Separate in depth discussions. So if you're looking for a.
36:47
Longer discussions on. Each of these go seek out each
36:51
of those discussions. So let's start off with. #5
36:59
would be. The Bear TV series and.
37:03
So crazy thing is, is that like? So the main character of the
37:08
bear, the actor who plays him. Is also in the Iron Claw movie.
37:13
That I saw. That I talked about earlier.
37:14
Too or whatever. So.
37:16
But yeah, so. This basically follows.
37:22
A. A.
37:24
Basically a. Guy trying to.
37:27
Run. A family.
37:28
His family restaurant. So he went off, became.
37:31
A big name. Chef in the world, overseas and
37:33
stuff. Whatever.
37:34
Or in a big city. Came back to his little little
37:37
small town or small. Corner of his home city.
37:41
To start up his own little shop, whatever with.
37:45
A close. Family, friend and different.
37:47
Things like that and just. Kind of seeing the drama and
37:51
stuff going on with. What chefs?
37:55
And stuff go. Through and the.
37:57
Whole cooking industry and dining industry and stuff and
38:03
then kind of also. Get in the personal back story
38:05
of these. Characters.
38:06
And their families and lives and stuff.
38:08
Whatever. Super dope.
38:09
Show like I said I had. Like I had a super fantastic
38:12
conversation with Steve and Rob. J.
38:17
So go check. Out that full discussion for
38:19
that so. Next up on #4.
38:23
Is going to be the last. Of U.S.
38:27
TV series Now I have a very strong.
38:33
Love and connection for the last of.
38:34
US video games and so. When it was.
38:38
Announced that not only was this getting a series, but it's
38:41
getting a H. Bo series.
38:44
It was like, OK, hey, we need. To we need to sit up in our
38:47
chairs and and and take notice and.
38:51
I will say this. Was one of the first times in a.
38:55
Long time where it felt like appointment TV.
38:59
For not just. Me.
39:00
Because of course, you know, there's lots of stuff out, you
39:03
know? Tune into every week.
39:04
When they're coming out. Like, you know, House of Dragons
39:07
and Different. Shows and.
39:08
Stuff like that, but it's. Rare when it's something that.
39:13
Multiple people in my house are looking.
39:15
Forward to and so this was something that.
39:17
Me and my wife. Watch together every Sunday and.
39:21
Our oldest? Son, because he's older now.
39:23
Whatever. You know, he's 15.
39:25
Now. So.
39:28
And he, He. He.
39:29
Had played the 1st. Last of his game, maybe like.
39:32
A year or. Two back like like right when he
39:34
turned 13 or whatever, finally let him play it or whatever.
39:37
And he really. Enjoyed it And so yeah, and like
39:42
every week like we having. Discussions about it as a.
39:44
Family and stuff and. You know my.
39:47
My wife is also a. Big fan of the games like she's.
39:50
Actually, she's played it. Multiple times.
39:53
And she matter of fact started playing it again around.
39:56
The time that that the. Show was going on because she
39:59
still hasn't played two yet. But.
40:02
Bayolite like this was a great. Adaptation of the.
40:06
Game to where it stayed. True in certain parts where it
40:10
needed to, but then they also. Took liberties and other.
40:13
Areas to make it. Make a better sense and fit for
40:17
it being ATV format versus a video.
40:20
Game And so, yeah, they knocked it out of the.
40:23
Park and. I look forward to seeing.
40:27
Them. Do another the.
40:29
Next couple of seasons and. Stuff, because I'm pretty sure.
40:33
They're going to, I think. I think they already said.
40:35
They're going to split up the second game into Seasons 2.
40:38
And three, so I'll be curious to see how they kind of.
40:41
Handle some of those. Events and stuff so but.
40:44
So #3 now. This.
40:47
Is why there was a very, very, very nice.
40:51
Surprise to me at the. Very beginning of the year.
40:55
Now. I'm not.
40:57
A I'm not like. The biggest Star Wars fan?
40:59
I've watched, I've, I've enjoyed watching some of the.
41:03
Movies and some of the other shows and stuff I.
41:06
Loved love playing the Star Wars Jedi games 'cause I talked.
41:11
About that in the last episode with Jedi Survivor that came up
41:13
this year but. But yeah, earlier this year.
41:17
I'm trying to think. I think I might have been home
41:20
sick. Or something for some.
41:23
Reason I was like stuck home maybe it was like.
41:26
A winter storm. Or something like that, but
41:27
whatever the case may be or whatever.
41:30
I. Was.
41:31
Home for a period of time. And just kind of like, OK, like
41:35
what? Do I want to watch?
41:37
Or do or whatever. And I remember hearing.
41:40
People talking about. Andor at the end of.
41:42
Last year. And so I was.
41:43
Like, you know what? Let me just give.
41:46
This a shot and this is my. Type of show, a little bit more
41:53
grounded following, kind of like a thief.
41:55
Smuggler guy on A. Little bit like a.
41:58
Like a smaller scale story. And I thought it was.
42:02
Super dope. I liked the the the main
42:04
character. Dude, and like, I just.
42:06
Like, really enjoyed the different.
42:08
Little missions and. Scenarios that he found.
42:10
Himself in but yeah. And or super.
42:14
Dope. Super great, like I said.
42:16
If if if you're kind of like a kind of like a surface level
42:19
Star Wars fan like myself, this is one that you probably want.
42:23
To check out as well. All right, so #2 is another
42:35
show. That I heard a lot of people
42:36
talking about the last year or so and this.
42:41
Is. One that I would just say.
42:44
And I said to them at the beginning.
42:46
Of my review that I did, this is one that is highly recommended.
42:50
Going again, knowing as little as.
42:52
Possible. And that is severance.
42:57
'Cause once. Again, as like I said, you can
42:59
kind of tell with. A lot of the shows and.
43:01
Movies and stuff. Whatever.
43:03
I love my dramas. I love my thrillers especially.
43:07
And so. This one and I guess I'll.
43:11
Kind of get just just like a surface level.
43:14
Idea of. What it is is severance.
43:17
Basically, deals. With.
43:20
There's a group of. People in this office setting.
43:22
To where? What they do.
43:26
In their. Personal lives and what they.
43:27
Do during their 9:00 to 5:00 work time, whatever are kept
43:31
completely separate and. What I mean by that is that
43:35
there is. A device in their head.
43:40
And this is kind of. Kind of like, like, like as deep
43:42
as I go with spoilers. But there's a device.
43:44
In their head and they get infected in their head to where?
43:47
When they get in the. Elevator to go to work.
43:50
It. Kind of flips.
43:51
The switch in their brain. To where they only.
43:55
Know life inside the. Office So your office
44:00
personality. All you know is that.
44:02
Hey, you start your morning. Or walking off of the elevator
44:06
and then. You end your day walking.
44:07
Out to the elevator. And then the.
44:09
Next day you come back. You're walking off, but hey, you
44:12
got a. Whole new set of clothes if you
44:14
have a bruise or injury. Or broken arm.
44:16
You won't know what your ass. Myself did or whatever.
44:19
So it kind of be creates like 2 separate people so to speak,
44:23
whenever. But it was super intriguing,
44:26
super interesting to watch. So, yeah, so number.
44:29
Two severance. Like I said, check out my.
44:31
Severance review for more on that.
44:33
But like I said, highly recommend just kind of just
44:36
diving into if you're into giving stuff.
44:39
A shot on the whim. So that is.
44:40
Definitely one I highly recommend and then my. #1 show.
44:46
That I. Watched this year is going.
44:50
To be. Whoops, silo.
44:57
Now silo another. Kind of like this is.
45:01
Definitely more like a. Post apocalyptic.
45:06
Sci-fi drama type of situation to where all of humanity.
45:11
Something happened a long time ago.
45:12
Where the surface. Is supposedly uninhabitable.
45:19
And. So all of humanity has.
45:22
Gone underground to live in these.
45:25
Like. 40 something Story Underground silos.
45:29
Think of it kind. Of like, like Fallout.
45:32
Like the Fallout. Video games where they're in
45:34
these vaults. But yeah, so.
45:38
Pretty much humanity has lived in the silos for.
45:42
Maybe like a good couple. 100 years, maybe nobody 100.
45:46
Percent. Knows or the common.
45:48
Knowledge is not known and said you kind of follow.
45:52
Start off. Following.
45:53
This, this sheriff. And then this.
45:55
This engineer lady who? Are basically trying to.
46:03
And it starts. Off them kind kind of trying to
46:05
solve. Some deaths and stuff.
46:08
That kind of happened. And they kind of kind of leads
46:11
to a bigger unwinding of mysteries.
46:16
Of OK, what is really the situation?
46:18
What is really going on with the?
46:20
Silo and the people. Up top and different things.
46:23
Like that or whatever. And who is really running the
46:26
show and? All.
46:27
This type of stuff. So bad that that one.
46:30
Was. So, so, so good.
46:33
And I look forward. To and did that.
46:35
That is one that also like. Really kept me on my.
46:39
Toes. All the way through the.
46:40
Air time, I'm like OK. I think I know.
46:42
What's going on? And then?
46:44
You know the twist and. Turn in a good way.
46:48
And they kind of keep you guessing.
46:50
And. Surprising.
46:52
And when you think you know the truth.
46:53
And know what's going on. Is OK Nope, that isn't true.
46:58
Or maybe. There is a bit of truth.
47:00
And what you're thinking so. But.
