There, I think cleared out all my celebrations of the fact that I reached 100K subscribers on my YouTube channel, even if now I've gained more than 2000 subs since. Said all my thank you, created a highly requested review that many had been anticipated for and now I can move forward to make some even bigger videos to build up the hype.
- Released my review of Cats: Technically, this is a movie review, as this is the 1998 filmed version, but this does count as my first review of a Broadway show. Looking back at it, I'd say watching Cats is one of those "Try it at least once" things to see where your position on it is, since it is a very polarizing show where people either adore it or completely hate it. If you've seen my review, then you'd know by now that I'm not really a fan of it. I do get how some would love it and get entranced by the costumes, the choreography and the songs, but that lack of story can be a true make-or-break deal if either you can give it a pass or feel like it makes the show an entire mess. From what I've heard, the story of making the musical was completely chaotic and even considered a miracle that it became a hit, which for something that's so theatrically abstract (probably the nicest way to put it), I feel like that's easy to believe. However, despite my feelings and hopefully won't cause too much outrage from the Cats fanbase, I am very happy with how the review came out and did work hard on making it entertaining. By the way, don't ask me about the movie coming out at the end of this year because I certainly ain't gonna watch it freely.
- Released my review of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie: For me, this was an absolute blast from the past. When I was a kid, I use to watch this so many times and even watching it for the review, there were so many parts that came back from my memory that I remember that I highly enjoyed, and yes, I even loved the "Surprised Patrick" face before it became a meme. Maybe there's a chance that my nostalgia played a factor in my rating of my review, but I still have done my best to keep myself in a professional mindset and look at the film as it is. Fortunately, even on its own, it still holds up and holds up very well where, in a way, it's very clever on handling its own goofiness. It knows that it's dumb and takes every advantage of making it an enjoyable ride with a lot of heart that was crafted in the process. I won't go as far and say that it's one of the best animated films ever, but still a great feature. But now that I've gotten my special review out of the way, it's time to put ACR back on schedule with Disney's 2000 movie, Dinosaur. I've often jokes around with the whole "Love Monkey" thing, but now it's time to give the movie our entire attention. Oh! and there is one more thing I'd like to show you. If you'd like to see the full results of the poll, here's a good closeup of it to check how well did your vote did!
- Working on my Top 10s of the Decade: I'm honestly surprised how well the upcoming Top 10s are going right now. Throughout the week, I've been keeping my focus on working on them and the production is going a lot faster than I expected. I will say now that a big help is because I'm making them a lot more straightforward and simple in the similar format of the annual Top 5 Best & Worsts, but I'm happy that it's going quick and the videos are looking very good. This week, I've gotten a lot done for the Top 10 Worst list and will be getting started on the Top 10 Best and get into working on that video. I've got a strong momentum going and I'm not going to let that stop anytime soon, especially when it comes to making some anticipated videos like these.
- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $50+/MONTH: This month's Discord Chat will be happening on Sunday the 17th at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.
And that should be a good cover of this week's report. Now that I've taken care of one celebration, now it's time to focus on the next big event, which is the end of the decade and the end of the year! And what better way to honour the 2010s with a bunch of Top lists? So until next time...
See ya later, dudes!
