Was finally able to release my review for Disclosure Day. A poorly written and surprisingly dated sci-fi film with dull characters, minimal spectacle, and a story that never fully explores its premise. One of the biggest disappointments of the year. youtube.com/watch?v=EBGb1EJI…

Steven Spielberg should retire. Disclosure Day is the reheated, microwaved husks of his earlier and much better sci-fi films. The bad script, poor pacing, terrible CGI and dull characters made this such a bore to watch. Check out Project Hail Mary, Obsession or Backrooms instead.

Throwback Thursdays! Along with trailer reactions, I'll also be playing Black Mesa and doing a watch party for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Stream starts at 7:00 pm CST! twitch.tv/chrisjherman

Sir Idris Elba is good in Masters of the Universe as Duncan/Man at Arms. He has an actual arc involving duty, mentorship, and sacrifice.

Scary Movie (2026) is the worst kind of parody comedy. It's content to just make references to horror movies instead of actually parodying them.

Wasted Wednesdays! Along with trailer reactions and a Q&A, I'll also be playing 007: First Light, Mario Kart and doing a watch party for Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Stream starts at 6:30 pm CST! twitch.tv/chrisjherman

I was already loving what I was seeing in Gears of War E-Day, but @TheJohnDiMaggio's line delivery here reminded me how much I love Gears. Can't wait to play this in October!

Is the action good in Masters of the Universe? The answer is yes. While the movie has problems, the action and fight choreography is a major highlight.

Terror Tuesdays! Along with watching a ton of trailers, I'll also be reviewing Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and playing Captured 2. Stream starts at 6:30 pm CST! twitch.tv/chrisjherman

Scary Movie (2026) is very lazy. All it does is reference horror movies or pop culture without a comedic punchline. However, if you prefer people just screaming loudly and making dated cultural references, you'll slurp this up.

Does Masters of the Universe look good? The film does a pretty good job of translating the aesthetic of the cartoon to live-action. Trap Jaw, Tri-Klops and Skeletor all look great.

Apologies for the late post, but I'm unable to stream due to some technical issues. I'll be back tomorrow with an earlier and longer stream featuring reviews, trailer reactions and spooky gameplay. Have a pleasant evening and see everyone tomorrow.

Is Scary Movie (2026) really bad? Oh, very much so. The Wayans Brothers prefer to just be loud, make dated pop culture reference and help sell Angry Orchard Hard Cider.

Is Masters of the Universe good? Well, it's a bit of a mixed bag, sadly.

Saw Scary Movie last week. The film is the worst kind of parody movie in that it barely contains anything funny and seem perfectly content to just be loud and make references to things without a punchline. Just an awkward embarrassment of a movie.

Uncle Iroh voice actor Greg Baldwin criticizes Paramount over the state of the 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' franchise “Paramount doesn’t care about ATLA ... The new regime at Paramount is straight up evil" "I can speak freely because I’m 65 years old and my pocketful of fucks is seriously depleted" "Working as a paralegal at various studios in LA for thirty years…I had the opportunity to observe studio executives closely. They’re generally a slippery and clueless bunch who shouldn’t be allowed near anything remotely creative…but the new regime at Paramount is straight up evil" "These soulless bastards have nothing but contempt for a show about grace and redemption and the struggle against fascism" "ATLA is a mystery to them." "They. Do. Not. Value. The. Franchise." "Who should lose their jobs to AI? Answer… Studio Executives. Ironically…those cockroaches will be the last to go" "In conclusion… Fuck you, Paramount" (via @GregBaldwinIroh)

Recently saw Masters of the Universe. The film features some really good action, strong fight choreography, and solid performances from Idris Elba and Jared Leto. Unfortunately, it’s also weighed down by incessant humor that often falls flat. A mixed bag. youtube.com/watch?v=em1Anoda…
