This is the week where we certainly will come on and SLAM! I know I did in several ways. Not only am I getting to work with that slam, but I also slammed some productions to have them finished and released a video where I slammed a new animated film hard. Like, it's been a long time since I really slammed on a newly released animated feature. So, with that said, here are my slams of the week.
- Released my review of America: The Motion Picture: Honestly, I saw the potential on this one. This really could've been an enjoyable comedy that's unafraid to go all out on the stupidity and just have fun with it. This had the chance to be like the next Sausage Party. However, the movie failed on the only mission it had to do: being funny. And that's why I haven't felt this much hate for an animated film in years. The comedy is so bad that it makes the experience so cringeworthy, especially when Lord & Miller's rapid-fire humor just doesn't work and only makes things worse. Sure, there are a few good notes to mention about this like the animation and the voice acting is decent, but nothing could salvage such an atrocious script. That's what made a few weeks ago so shocking. I was expecting to hate The Boss Baby: Family Business more. However, to my surprise, it turns out that the baby was actually decent, while the Lord & Miller-produced R-rated comedy was a complete failure.
- Finished editing the next History video: This was actually from the start of the week, but yes, I did officially finish up my part of the editing and I think this turned out to be a great video that'll be coming up. I've had this in production due to other projects needing my attention, but there was a little bit of disbelief that I finally completed what I have to do to make this video. The only missing piece will be a custom piano piece that will be provided by a surprisingly talented patron (seriously, he's got mad piano skills from the examples he showed me). This will be ready by the end of the month and I'll just say that this will be something that you will definitely remember.
- Writing the next Series Review: Now with that big project done and finished up all the episodes, I finally got time to actually work on the review itself and create the result of weeks of slowly binging this series. For a while, I did have this idea of what to discuss in the review and what would be like the "theme" to help make my overall point with this. Because of another review I gotta work on, the best I could do for now is just create the script and once the other review is done, I'll immediately get to work on this and have it be ready soon.
- Currently working on my review of Space Jam: A New Legacy: Oh boy, after 25 long years of trying to capitalize on a basketball movie, Warner Bros. finally got their Space Jam sequel. I get that a lot of people are hyped up for this for nostalgic reasons, but I personally don't care about Space Jam all that much, even if I am a 90s kid that grew up in the Space Jam generation that introduced us to the Looney Tunes. I honestly don't know what to expect out of this movie...but I won't be setting my expectations high...Well, I don't think it'll be as bad as America, but not expecting the next Roger Rabbit with this one.
And that was my slammin' week in case you wanna jam. Okay, enough of the Space Jam jokes. I'm ready to get more reviews done next week like the one for the series and start the week fresh, especially now that I am officially double-vaccinated. So, until next time...
See ya later, dudes!
