I could not help myself. I watched the television show about Boba Fett, a minor character with a cool helmet from films that came out forty years ago. It was never going to be good. But I just could not help myself. Continue reading 7 Reasons the The Book of Boba Fett Show Was Fucking Stupid

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is set in an imaginary world where the biggest problem with the police is that they were racist and working on their homophobia…**within** the police force. As in, whites cops used to be racist to black…cops…and now slowly but surely straight cops are now much less homophobic to gay…cops.
The police are accepted as this benign institution that never does anything wrong and merely is just a moderately high-functioning government institution that solves crimes. This is a major and dangerous myth.
What is strange about this dynamic is that that fantastical premise is asked to be accepted for very little drama about actual police work that the characters do. They might as well just work in a post-office or DMV or a school or animal control. Which is to say unlike other Michael Schur created shows, this show is less about saying anything about anything and really just about being funny and doing jokes. And Brooklyn Nine-Nine is almost shockingly good at being funny and telling jokes. Continue reading Ranking the Brooklyn Nine-Nine Seasons

Ranking the Indiana Jones Films
The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was a television show from 1992-1994 that was exactly what it sounds like. It featured Sean Patrick Flanery playing Indiana for most of the show (a few episodes apparently featured a child playing an even younger Indiana).
As everyone learned (again) with Solo though, it’s not that Han Solo or Indiana Jones are these remarkable characters or anything. It’s that Harrison Ford is one of the biggest movie stars of all time that make them iconic. They are star vehicle characters.
Anyway, all of that is a long way to say that very few moments of the show that I have seen have been absolutely brutal. I decided to watch one episode of it properly though for one simple reason: Harrison Ford was in it!
Without further ado, here are some takeaways from “Young Indiana Jones and the Mystery of the Blues.”
