The Good Stuff with Mary Berg (2023)
Good Stuff!
My mum has been taping this show since it started airing & I watch it with her whenever I'm over as I enjoy learning new recipes & am familiar with Mary from MARY MAKES IT EASY...I was fortunate enough to catch a taping of the show in December. Her quirky sense of humour & knack for breaking down the science of cooking are a huge part of her charm but i do have to laugh at most of the reviews taking digs at her bubbly personality/saying she comes off phony - if you've been in her studio audience, you'd know she is unapologetically herself & incredibly generous with her time, which is rare.
Her interviewing skills will become more refined over time & experience, but her curiosity & willingness to try new things is refreshing. This show works best when it differentiates itself from its predecessor & it would be even more fun if interviews can take on a more conversational tone with the guests cooking alongside Mary.
The Flash: Wildest Dreams (2023)
Definitely The Best "Filler"
Fun episode that needed more "FLASH", but for a "filler" it was definitely one of the best in recent memory. This is the only episode that relates back to 9x01, so the bad reviews of it are clearly people not paying attention, or those who dislike Iris?
This final season should revolve around Barry & Iris, THE FLASH out in the field, & Iris at CCCM. So far, Iris' character has gotten a bit more to do, but Barry still suffers largely in part so Cecile & Allegra (go to work, journalist) & Khione & Mark have things to do...it sucks.
Barry & Iris & The Flash need to be featured more heavily in the back half for this season to be a success...for now I enjoyed this episode with Iris exploring her different career paths & overcoming her fear of knowing the future bc of her time travelling husband.
