Barry is a dark comedy/criminal driven drama that starts strong and ends with a satisfying finale. There are four seasons with eight 30-minute episodes in each season. It is created by Alec Berg and Bill Hader. The dialogue, fight scenes, casting, reactions, and whacky characters. are the reason Barry will be known as one of

Documentary Recommendation: Surviving Ohio State (2025)

09/07/2025

Documentary Recommendations, HBO Recommendations

Surviving Ohio State is an excellent documentary about a subject many people don’t want to talk about or even acknowledge exists and that is predatory medical staff preying on certain type of students. The doctor, Richard Strauss, happened to be in charge of the thousands of athletes’ welfare coming and going while they attended Ohio

Documentary Recommendation: The Lost Sons (2021)

09/07/2025

Documentary Recommendations, HBO Recommendations

The Lost Sons is directed by Ursula Macfarlane and is one hour and 38 minutes. This is a story where the best writer couldn’t make this up without some kind of aid whether it be natural or synthetic. I say this because this story is too tragic of a story to be described any other

HBO Recommendations, TV Recommendations

Hollywood Demons is a documentary series about the pitfalls of making it big in Hollywood. We all know the downfall of Bill Cosby and once you pull the curtain back, ugly details of hidden behavior come out like claws on a tiger. There’s a big difference between celebrities having trouble adjusting to quick fame and

The Texas Cheerleader Murder Plot (2024)

03/18/2025

Documentary Recommendations, HBO Recommendations

It’s interesting how people find certain topics interesting in the fact we find subjects intriguing that we know nothing about or didn’t care to learn when younger. Cheerleading and competitions are two things I’ve never really cared too much about. I’ve never been one to research more into how cheerleading works, but people understand about

Movie Review: Love Lies Bleeding (2024)

08/25/2024

HBO Recommendations, Movie Reviews

There are not major spoilers in this review! Love Lies Bleeding started out so well for a drama, action, crime with violent touches of a romance movie. Then, the ending completely dove into the deep end of the pool and sank to the bottom of it in less than a second. I’m not sure what

TV Series Recommendation: Tokyo Vice (2022-2024)

HBO Recommendations, TV Recommendations

Tokyo Vice is more or less a fictional adaptation from an autobiography written by Jake Adelstein (one of the many books I’m currently reading). Jake Adelstein spent 12 years as a journalist working for Yomiuri Shimbun, a major Japanese newspaper during the late 1990s through the early 2000s. It is one of the major newspapers

There will not be any major spoilers in this review! I have to say what was missing in the Game of Thrones was more White Walkers and Targaryen dragons. What is missing although this is only because I deeply miss the character so much of Tyrion Lannister in House of the Dragon although the creators

Documentary Recommendation: MoviePass, MovieCrash (2024)

Documentary Recommendations, HBO Recommendations

Just like movie rental stores, it seems likely that movie theatres might become a thing of the near past due to COVID and all the streaming services. Similar replaces similar and that includes the entertainment industry. Back in 2007 when movie theatres were still all the rage, Stacy Spikes and Hamet Watt were the creators

When the allegations about Kevin Spacey first came out, my initial thought was why did Anthony Rapp wait so long to shed light on the now clearly predatory personality that is Kevin Spacey Fowler. But for those who are truly victims and then survivors of whatever kind of violations one is forced to go through,

TV Show Recommendation: Conan O’Brien Must Go (2024-)

04/23/2024

HBO Recommendations, TV Recommendations

Enough time has passed for Conan O’Brien to have recovered from losing his gig on The Tonight Show. It’s been more than a few years since he left his TBS show and now has planted his feet at HBO. We all move onto the next opportunity. Conan O’Brien Must Go is a kind of continuation

Documentary Recommendation: Beanie Mania (2021)

01/25/2024

Documentary Recommendations, HBO Recommendations

This is a wacky documentary because it highlights the charmed suburban life of the women that helped start the Beanie Babies craze and the rest that followed that weren’t so lucky. This obsession among collectors had all the elements of buying and selling the next cash cow and that’s what happened. When it came to

Return of the Cheesy, Awful, and a Little Bit of Decency in My Pick of Christmas Movies

Amazon Recommendations, HBO Recommendations, Hulu Recommendations, Netflix Recommendations

I haven’t watched holidays movies for a while because I haven’t been in the mood. I’ve been too busy with other things in my life. Besides, I’ve seen most of the best ones ever made already. You’re bound to get a lot of duds and maybe two decent enough to pay attention 100%. If you
