Tooning Out the News (2020)
Total garbage
When this came to Comedy Central, Stephen Colbert actually had the audacity to promote it in person on a commercial by looking straight into the camera and saying it was news "without bias and without spin". Has this man no shame or a single bone of decency in his entire body? What an absolute disgrace if a television show. Just another vehicle to drive a wedge of division between the American people all delivered in a Trojan horse of supposed comedy. Colbert and his partisan drivel are a cancer on our society and this bit of deranged insanity is no exception. This is just a desperate grasp by a failing network to retain viewership by peddling hate and divisiveness, the lowest of the low.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (2015)
Just awful
Johnny Carson is spinning in his grave. Colbert has taken what was once a tone of sarcastic condescending hubris and raised the curtain on the fact that it is actually just who he is minus the sarcasm. I don't see how anyone can stomach this twerp. His subject matter is painfully one dimensional and politically biased. This disgraceful circus has brought shame and disrespect to all of his predecessors and he has thrown every last speck of class out the window and traded it in for hateful tasteless rhetoric. It's really a shame and perhaps speaks to the polarization that we have been fed by network television for the last few decades that this atrocity is considered entertainment. I'll be glad when network tv dies and takes this abomination with it.
The Munsters (2022)
Not good
Just doesn't work. One thing that's the same as his other films is that Zombie's wife couldn't act her way out of a paper bag yet he keeps casting her in every project. It just didn't capture the spirit of the original at all. I think part of the reason it also looks bad is the choice of colors which is an admittedly difficult test given the black and white original. I really wanted to like this movie but it was just a disappointment. The intentional use of cheap set material to mimic the original just looked bad in color and the tongue in cheek humor was a little cringeworthy. This was an ambitious undertaking so no fault for it not coming together (outside of casting the nauseating Cheri moon zombie)
Katt Williams: World War III (2022)
Awful
Not even the live audience was into it. Mainly just witless attempts at hot takes and shock humor that totally fall flat: if there wasn't a royally obnoxious sound effect being blasted over the P. A. at every major punchline I don't think I'd know when he expected me to laugh. Williams is relying 100% on gimmick and zero percent on effort.
