A Whole Lifetime with Jamie Demetriou (2023)
I Think You Should Leave - UK style
Really interesting and refreshing look at comedy, not for boomers I guess. Not perfect but got lots of potential for a follow up. If you like ITYSL I think you'd like this.
Nice observations of social anxiety, crap TV, vulnerable people and parenting. The slapstick in it is great, and Demetriou is a natural at it. He uses his low vocal range in great comedic ways too.
Definitely not perfect, some of it falls flat (some of the music is beyond so-bad-it's good) and it's not quite as deep as the sketches could have been. It's definitely too weird for some people, but really, that's a good thing.
Halloween Kills (2021)
Beyond dumb
Poorly written dialogue, characters so unbearable you want them all to die, and uninspired directing. Honestly, pretty dull and quite insulting. Lacking any of the tension or humour you find in a slasher film. Just a massive ensemble piece of forgettable characters. Yeah, the score is good, but they've been dining out on that since the 70s. Packed cinema and not a scream or gasp from anyone in there. Time to let evil die tonight, etc...
