Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact (2023)
We tried
My wife and I are fans of Amy's from back in the day. Over the years her comedy got quite stale unfortunately. Eventually it seemed (to us) that Amy had left comedy to start a family. We figured good for her. She did very well for herself while in the limelight.
Well... She's back.... with a special? We were curious, despite the large amount of distaste she has garnered for herself over the years with some of the biggest names in stand up. We gave it a try.
Nothing relatable out of the gates. L. A. Plastic surgery material from a frumpy wanna-be funny mom? Hard pass. I feel like this was specifically for her friends and family, but thought it was good enough to make some cash from. I'm curious if she actually tried the material out more than a couple times outside her friends and family... This was NOT "special" material by any measure.
Amy uses the exact same comedy beats that she used years ago. The jokes MIGHT be new, but the tired delivery was enough to turn us both off. We did chuckle a couple of times, but we might have just been attempting to find something funny.
In the end we turn it off long before the closing bit. Not worth it at all.
The Goldbergs: If You Build It (2022)
Stick a fork in her, she's done
Been an avid watcher of the Goldbergs since the beginning. WAS an absolute laugh a minute for years. But sadly.. was.... is all I can say now.
It has been going downhill for many seasons, but this first episode was the nail in the coffin for The Goldbergs. It is not funny anymore. I think I had one half hearted "ha" the entire episode.
And what a terrible way to get rid of Mur-man. They couldn't do better than that? The script is awful and so obvious. There is really nothing left to enjoy here.
Bad script. Bad acting. Dumb hurried plot tropes. She's over.
Thanks for the good times Goldbergs. We are done here.
Hacks (2021)
Season 1 was fun, but...
My gf and I loved season 1, but Season 2 immediately went woke and I just can't do it. I couldn't get through episode 1 fast enough to never look back. Yuk what a disaster they made of it. Won't be going back for the rest of whatever happens here.
Go woke go away...
