Brooklyn Nine-Nine: The Big House Pt. 2 (2017)
Great episode of the best season
These episodes are riddled with reviews with people criticizing a comedy for not being believable. This is not a realistic show, it's entertainment. Clearly. Get a life. I don't care that the prison you were in had individual showers. It was a vessel for a joke.
These two episodes stepped outside the box and were darker. The jokes were pretty similar but slightly raunchier. Drug use, violence, etc is a bigger subject than usual due to the environment but the usual tropes are still there. Couple laugh out loud moments. The format where the season opens with a multi episode storyline to set the tone for the season is great.
Jiu Jitsu (2020)
Yet to see a movie worse than this.
I envy anyone who hasn't seen this movie, not because it was good, but because you don't have to have it's God awful contents ingrained in your psyche. If you Intend to watch this movie, I suggest doing so in a chemistry lab, so that you'll have an eye wash station available after.
If you threw this movie into a dumpster fire, I'd feel bad for the dumpster. If you gave me the choice of watching paint on a wall dry, and watching this movie again, I'd get enough paint for two walls, just to ensure I'd be saved from enduring the emotional wear and tear of the second option.
I honestly cannot believe this movie was able to come into existence, every idea I have as to how this was made is absolutely insane. For example, at the end of a week long bender, nicolas cage's coke plug convinced him to star in his five year old son's script, written in crayon, as a grand gesture for his 6th birthday. That is the best idea I've come up with thus far. Anyone involved with this movie should be imprisoned. It is a crime against humanity.
Im assuming the routine for each scene went something like this - film fight scene... Set change....tilt camera 15 degrees....repeat same chereography from previous fight scene.... commence therapy session for all involved,... repeat
On a more serious note. This movie is worse than "so bad it's good." I thought I'd be able to get a laugh out of this at least, but it was genuinely just awful. I don't think I've seen a movie this bad before, and I've watched a lotttt of movies. I will give two stars, simply because there seemed to at least be an effort in the creation of this. It was just really bad. Don't watch this movie.
BoJack Horseman (2014)
A show that often hurts to watch, but brings you right back with it's comedic value
A lackluster beginning made me fear the worst when I first started watching. Fortunately it picked up pace halfway through the first season and turned into a seriously relatable, depressing, yet entertaining experience. Some brilliant running jokes, one liners, and characters bring comedic value throughout, but it is peppered with some situations that I'd never expect from a cartoon, even after this insane trend of adult animation had shown it's here to stay. Bojack horseman, for me personally, is one of the most emotionally relatable characters in television, just from the way they depict his reactions. You feel like you're in the head of this egotistical, depressed, shot out horse. Certain episodes in particular such as 'time's arrow' and 'the old sugarman place' delve even deeper, taking on common situations that plagued past generations relating to immoralility, pridefullness, and ego in a slightly satirical way that exaggerates the horrors of what you're watching, while making them easy to appreciate.
