Telemarketers (2023)
This is going nowhere.
I watched the first episode because I usually like Rough House productions. This is the first thing they've released that I've disliked. The story is a nothing-burger. We live in a world where some people run scams. If you find this interesting you must live under a rock. This is a lame documentary about a heroin addict on an ego trip. Its boring and repetitive. Kudos to the editor. They assembled the footage in a way that will appeal to the pseudo-intellectual documentary and true crime audience. The heroin junkie guy is not interesting. I don't get why people are fascinated by addicts. If you know anything about addicts you'll know his whole personality is phony. Put down the methadone for a few years before you try to fashion yourself as some kind of renegade journalist. They guy can't even take his $5 sunglasses off that hide his glossy drugged out eyes.
Flamin' Hot (2023)
Ignore the Shill Reviews From Obvious Plants
Ignore the high mark reviews by obvious company shills. The story is presented as true when it is in fact a lie. Let me educate the bootlickers: Normal people do not like being fed a false narrative WHEN IT'S PRESENTED AS TRUE. I understand this lofty concept might be above your pay-grade. If this movie was presented as FICTION (which it is) then I'm sure the studio would have gotten the lap-dog reaction they wanted. Now the studio and distribution company are panicking. Damage control mode. Sorry your little lie didn't work out the way you wanted, Mrs. Eva Longoria. I guess she's under the impression that she can easily transition into a director/filmmaker. Maybe she can but not with this pile of exploitative lies.
FUBAR (2023)
mentions race within TWO MINUTES of first episode
"you da fastest 65 year old white guy da planet"
this is a line said by his unconvincing tech guy within the first two minutes of the first episode. Not only solidifying white stereotypes, but black stereotypes as well. He delivered the line like buckwheat from the little rascals. Mugging to the camera all cheesy.
I am sick of hollywood dividing us up every chance they get. If thats the level of "humor" this show provides then count me out.
I already went against my better judgement and pressed play. Arnie is way past his prime and more boring than ever.
Cliche stereotypical story, cliche stereotypical characters... if you want to watch real action thats actually intelligent check out a show called Banshee, or see the Bob Odenkirk film NOBODY.
Arnie plays it too safe. The character is no different than his off-screen persona. Zero acting involved.
And i can already hear people saying "oh but thats what hes always done even back in the 80s"
to that i say no, youre wrong.
Arnie in the 80s was FUN. Dare i say FUNNY. He took risks in his acting and did silly, unexpected things. This old arnie is just any old boring dude collecting a paycheck.
MILF Manor (2023)
Boring Trash For Sad Weirdo Perverts
The whole premise is disgusting, sexist, and hypocritical. Completely perverse. Not only is it truly gross, but all the contestants seem to be suffering from some kind of brain injury. The collective IQ is dangerously low.
The real kicker is, it's also poorly made and extreme boring. The opening credits is something out of Saturday Night Live. Music cues and interstitials are lazy and cheap. Even the editing and story production is subpar. Think about how much time and money went into producing, shooting, and editing. This is the best they could do. Someone needs to be fired. There has to be better minds out there to create reality tv for TLC.
Since everyone is so utterly vapid and charmless there's not even any good drama or situations that usually make trashy television somewhat enjoyable.
The whole incest gimmick is all over every episode. As if the show didn't get it's oedipal obsession across by the obvious and clunky concept for the show, they have to hit you over the head with constant incestual conversations and activities.
It's truly a poorly made show all-around.
