Friends “The One Where Rachel Quits” I like to do some Christmas episodes of tv shows in these reviews around this time of year, and with the recent passing of Matthew Perry, I had to do a Friends episode. But which one, there are ten. So I randomly generated a number and it came up…

Barbie (2023) Yes! This overweight bearded human went to see the Barbie movie. And I loved it.

“Look a Prehistoric Bird” – House 2: The Second Story.
“It’s getting weirder.” Yeah, no shit. When you make a sequel to a successful film, it’s a given that the sequel will not be as good from the audience standpoint or from the critics’, compared to the original anyway. Its kind of like the law of diminishing returns of the film industry. Musicians are victims…
