Update Blog - 5/29/21 (Patreon)

I got a massive list of reviews to prepare for the coming weeks and a lot of big-name new releases too. And as everyone is currently talking about the world of fashion, anarchy and dog-hating, I'm preparing for my piece of it and many more. But first, here's what's been happening on my end.

- Released my review of Dilbert: Now this is a show that I haven't seen in a long time. Yes, I use to watch the show when there were reruns early in the morning during the early 2000s, but now coming back after many years later...it's a good show. But it's not just coming back to Dilbert that made this review interesting to do, but also doing another series review after a while. Unlike movies, these take time for me to find the room to make videos and spread time hours of time I need to watch all the episodes evenly. Luckily, this only has 30 episodes, but adjusting to find the room to watch them in favor of working on other videos is a challenge in itself. However, maybe I said this before, but this is only the beginning. I have a few other Patrons who asked me to review show that have much more episodes than Dilbert, so what I did with this is just practice before getting into other big shows that are coming up. But with this one I just did, it's a decent start and enjoyable to return to that office and admire the times when it can be quite clever. Maybe it won't be for everyone, but still worth checking a few episodes to see if you can get into this show.

- Working on AniMat's Classic Reviews: After going through a pretty big one last week, what I did not expect was to work on an even bigger review to talk about a different movie. This one will be much more recognizable than the one that's coming up, but I didn't expect that I'd have so much to say with the one I just worked on. Seriously, these reviews are getting bigger than the next. Without saying too much about what it is, it'll be interesting to see what will happen when it comes out. The subject did give me tons of materials to work with, despite the short running time, but I know that this is a film that has both its lovers and haters. I know which position I'm in after watching this and I know that this will be the kind that will have people talking or putting their own thought piece in the comments. Either way, I got a real good one coming this summer ;)

- Watching Episodes for an upcoming Special Review: As I said before with Dilbert, that show is just the beginning. Throughout the week, while working on other reviews, I was watching episodes of another show that I have to review. I started this one around last week/the start of this week by going through a few episodes at a time, but with a larger amount of episodes included, I even had to change up the ways I make my notes to make sure I can keep everything in order and remember what are the good and the bad of it. As you're reading this, I'm still not done with watching the episodes, but I did go through most of them and I'll be sure to finish them off some time next week. I'm getting a good idea of how this show will be, so pretty soon, I'll be all set to start the review of this one.

- Starting a New History video: With the amount of work I have in front of me, I gotta fit in at least one non-review video in there. After making the recent Top 10 and the major success of the Caillou video, I decided why not and prepare myself to make another History video. However, I know that the process of this one will be slower than usual because of all the episodes and review I gotta make and watch, so this will be the kind where I'll just have to take it a few steps at a time. For example, the most that I did for this week was to pick my subject. I've got a few good ideas in mind that I've consider to try out, but based on some recent research that I've done on the subject, I feel like it's worth looking into in itself and highlight the impact it made that everyone has overlooked. It was a tough choice amongst many candidates, but I think I got a real winner with this one.

- Currently Working on my review of Cruella: After all these years and going through an entire pandemic that shut down theaters and delayed many major movies, the month of June will be filled with reviews of the latest releases, mainly because the kind of movies I generally review just so happen to be scheduled one week after another. The first to go through this list is Disney's latest live-action remake, Cruella. I will admit that it did have a lot of promise at first and some good word of mouth was going around, but then the reviews came and they're...not promising. They're not saying it's a disaster, but we may be getting the same results as usual with these types of films. Admittedly, I'm not as personally attached to 101 Dalmatians as some fans are, but let's find out if Emma Stone can be in the leagues of the animated one...or Glenn Close for that matter.

And that's all I've got for my week. June will be quite an interesting month will all that's coming up and I know my job is to brace myself to take them on one by one. Be ready for a major month starting next week, so until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
