Update Blog - 8/7/21 (Patreon)

After some loopy weeks that took me all over the place and having life troll me from time to time, I've finally got a week where I was just on a roll and managed to work on several reviews and even completed some of them. It's been a long time since I had a week where I did so much work and it feels quite rewarding to see how it all turned out. So with that said, here's what I've done.

- Released my review of Jungle Cruise: I've always had this idea of making this review a little more special because of the "Jungle Cruise" theme. I know my recent reviews that aren't animated features are more ordinary by my standards, but when I find an idea to make the video stand out, that's when I fully commit to it. In this case, it's not just reviewing it like a skipper, but to make the whole video themed to a training program. And yes, the narrator is my impression of Skipper from Madagascar because the idea is to perfect not to do it on a video about the Jungle Cruise. As for the movie itself, well, it's not great, but I did have fun at least. Some say that my rating was lower than expected, but that's from judging it as a feature itself. It's still a Pirates of the Caribbean clone and that's something I can't respect when it has those soulless intentions. On the other hand, it's a popcorn flick. It's not meant to be seen as a "good movie", but rather something to watch for the fun action and the actors adding their own charm to the moments. A bit of a hot take, I'll take this over Space Jam: A New Legacy any day, but this will be a case where the movie was worth it for me to make a really fun review out of it.

- Working on some AniMat's Classic Reviews: They keep getting bigger, but the process is still going well. I did start a little bit last week with one of them, but this week gave me the time to have everything for that review ready to be out soon. As for the one after that, while I am still in the process of making it, it's actually going well too. It's a musical, so there will be a lot more to talk about, but the one I picked from the Animation Hat is a real fascinating one that has given me a whole lot to talk about and will result in a great review. Once I'm done with Vivo, I'll immediately get back into that one to put the finishing touches and I should be set with making reviews until Paw Patrol comes in. Feels good to get a lot done, but it feels better knowing that I also did a good job at 'em.

- Currently working on my review of Vivo: At long last, the Sony Animation film I've been hyped for the most is finally here!...on Netflix and not on the big screen.Well, you gotta work with what you can during these times, I guess. Anyways, as a Lin-Manuel Miranda musical, of course I'm gonna be excited for this one and everything has been promising so far. I's been getting some strong reviews, the trailer did a good job in selling me this, I'm so far coming in with some high optimism and I know I'll need more time to work on this review as a musical, but let's see next week if the anticipation was worth it for me.

- 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 16th. 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 Tuesday the 10th, and Thursday the 12th and both at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

So that was my week of working on review after review. It was a lot of work, but I'm proud of what I"ve accomplished throughout this whole week. I just need to finish a few more things on some of them and then I'll be ready for the next big project coming up! Let's hope things will get better, so until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
