Update Blog - 6/5/21 (Patreon)

The summer season has officially begun and I know that it'll be a new type of month where I will be experiencing something I haven't witnessed in years: reviewing new movies every week, both coming out on the big screen and streaming. And I'll be starting off with Disney's Cruella de Batman movie. Other than that, I got plenty of different videos I'm preparing for the summer, so let's start this roundup of my week.

- Released my review of Cruella: Look, I get the backlash that this movie is getting. I know that they completely changed up the Cruella character to the point of being unrecognizable and there are moments that are just hilariously stupid. I'll admit that I even bursted out laughing during the death scene of Cruella's mom at the start. But with all things considered...I actually liked it. I thought that this was one of the better Disney live-action remakes, or at least, I enjoyed this more that I did than many of the recent ones we got. If it wasn't trying too hard to connect itself with 101 Dalmatians, this would've been a great movie with a lot going for it. It already has a great cast that provide some fun characters to get involved with their crazy schemes and it is a great looking film with impressive production design and, of course, fabulous costumes. I wouldn't say that it's worth the full $30 on Disney+ or to go see it on the big screen if you're not fully vaccinated, but it's not a bad effort on Disney's part with this...just as long as you don't think of this as a 101 Dalmatians prequel.

- Writing a new History video: Honestly, I did only had one day to fully get into this, but with my subject chosen, I got some time to get to work on the next History video and go deep into the thesis of my subject. As you're reading this, I'm not entirely done with the script. I'd say I'm more than half-way done and I'll still need to revise my sources to double-check if everything is legit with what I'm talking about. It'll be a weird subject at first when looking at the title alone on this one, but I think I know how to turn it around to make it solid with the right arguments for it. The project will be on hold for now because of other videos that'll need priority, but it's looking promising so far.

- Working on a new Series Review: It took me almost 2 weeks to go through all the episodes on this one, but this week, I finally managed to finish watching the entire show. And with all that done, I can finally start the next big step by finally making the review. The progress I've made on it so far is that I've wrote the entire script and done both the filming and recording for it. But with a show of this scale, that's just half of the job. The other part will be to edit the entire series and that'll be quite the challenge in itself. I know I just got through Dilbert, but I only had to work with just half the amount of episodes with that one. Of course, I'll figure out a plan with this one, so with the time I'll have with it next week. I'll have the review ready soon!

- Currently working on my review of Spirit Untamed: For the first time since last August for Sponge on the Run, I have finally returned to watch a movie on the big screen, and it's all for...the horse movie from DreamWorks...Yay? But seriously though, I'm honestly not expecting much out of this one (especially when some reviews that recently came out warned to not expect much). It's more connected to the Netflix series (that I haven't seen) than the 2002 film where the main focus will be little girls and horse. All I'm hoping for is to not suck and that's it. I mean with all that I've recently had to review, I think this one will go much easier than the others. In a way, this will be a break from the bigger reviews I've done/have to do. Let's hope that I don't suffer for it.

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $25+/MONTH: I will have my first episode of the Super Secret Patreon Exclusive Q&A Show ready and released for Monday the 14th. If you have a question you'd like me to answer for the show, message me and mention that it's for the Secret Q&A Show.

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $50+/MONTH: This month's Discord Chat will be happening on Thursday the 10th, and Sunday the 13th and both at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

And that's been my big week of video making and reviewing. I'll admit that I'm gonna need a break from all these reviews coming in one after another. It can be overwhelming at times when you got all these requests, new movies and TV shows you gotta analyze simultaneously, but I know that I gotta take it one step at a time and I'll eventually get through all of them, so until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
