Between film, television, and streaming services, there is simply way too much streaming content getting released for public consumption. It’s all too much as The Beatles guitarist George Harrison once sang. According to a piece in Variety, a Nielsen report states that there are 817,000 unique titles across both TV and the various streaming services as of February 2022. The number is up 26% from 646,000 titles in December 2019. It’s enough to feel overwhelmed–I…

This is one of the films that Disney acquired by way of the 20th Century Fox acquisition. Unfortunately, no amount of delays could save this film. At some point, you just have to accept the inevitable: release it on streaming and make everyone happy. Before the last release date change, Deep Water had…

How I Met Your Father, the sequel to the long-running How I Met Your Mother, lives up to the expectations as the series begins on Hulu. In another world, maybe How I Met Your Dad would still be on the air. However, the world isn’t perfect and it never made it to series. In any event, it took a few years for another attempt to get off the ground. I’m happy to report that How…

kid 90 captures life in the early 90s when actress Soleil Moon Frye was carrying a video camera everywhere in an era before cell phones. Watch until the end of the credits. At times when watching this documentary, you can’t help but feel bad for Soleil Moon Frye. The actress went through puberty after Punky Brewster came to an end. I’m obviously not going to get into the specifics here but sometimes, this takes a…
