Go see THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! I don't usually like recommending films so strongly... but I have a feeling that this lovely little film will get decimated by Mortal Kombat II in the theaters. A similar thing happened with Dust Bunny and Jewels, which are roundly loved by pretty much anyone who saw them... and not many people saw them in the theaters. Since I would really like more smart storytelling for families, I am trying to highlight this film for people because that's how we build young theater lovers!

I do not give up easily. So... I am asking you all a favor... because I do not know anyone who can help me with this. I would like to get on the Disney press list for the Star Wars: Mandalorian and Grogu movie this month in Boston. My channel is too small to qualify for the Disney press list. So, every Disney film I review is one I pay to see and my reviews always come out after their release dates. I can live with that. It's fine... HOWEVER, I am going to Australia for 3 weeks this month and will be leaving the day before the Mandalorian film is released. I won't be able to watch the film, write my review, and record it while I am traveling. This is why I am trying to get on the press list for this film.

I try to be fair and balanced in my reviews and really help viewers decide for themselves if a film is one they want to watch or not. By the time I get back from traveling, my review will be fairly meaningless and just one more video response to add to the box office noise.

IF you can help me. IF you know someone on the Disney press team. IF you are willing to help me get added to the Boston press list, this ONE time, I would be grateful.

P.S. While I am an original fan from 1977, I promise to give this film a fair and honest review whether or not I get into the screening. That's just how I roll... Thank you!!

I tried something a little different with The Christophers. This was an out-of-theater reaction right after a late-night screening, so it’s a bit more raw and in-the-moment than my usual reviews.

I’m curious… do you like this kind of immediate response, or do you prefer the deeper, more structured breakdowns that I usually do?

If you want something more reflective, I also wrote a full review here that you can read:

Let me know what you think. I’m still figuring out the right balance for the channel and how to balance my time with my day job duties take me out of YouTube for a week or two at a time.

I'm in a work crunch right now producing EmTech AI for my day job. So, I'm a bit behind on writing, filming, and posting movie reviews. However, I just wrote a review for EXIT 8 and posted it on my website. I'll have a video up for it sometime this week.

Have you seen EXIT 8? What did you think?

I have no idea if any AI was used to make this video.... BUT this video is so good that I have watched it 3 times. I am such a science and music geek. It never occurred to me that someone would combine these two things!

YOU DESERVE TO LAUGH TODAY!!!! I listen to videos while I work. This one came on and I was suddenly laughing my as* off, out loud, by myself, in my office. So, from me to you, give this guy some love because he's gonna make you laugh.

Oh. My. God! YouTube now gives creators the ability to post AI generated responses to your comments on our videos! I am soooooo aggravated by this!

I promise you that I will NEVER respond to a comment that you took the time to write with something that AI generated for me. NEVER NEVER NEVER.

YouTube can just trash that feature because if a creator can't be bothered to write a genuine response, why should our viewers bother to post comments?

What do you think about this? Am I overreacting?

I was bored so I dropped a photo of me into an anime image generator, and it created this. I like it, but it looks bit younger than I am. Maybe that's just the nature of anime? What do you guys think?

Have you dropped photos into an image generator like this before? Did you like your results? I wish YouTube would let you post your own images in the comments!

Solo Leveling has been out for a while now… but I finally sat down and watched it—and I can’t stop thinking about one idea: "Is Jin-woo really the only Player or is he just the only one who understands the system?"

I’m curious ... what hooked you into Solo Leveling in the first place?

PROJECT HAIL MARY, starring Ryan Gosling, finally hits theaters this Friday, March 20!

I did my spoiler-free review about a week ago, and I keep coming back to this question…

Hollywood doesn’t always get these kinds of science-fiction stories right, especially when the emotional core matters just as much as the science.

This one feels a little different. So I’m curious ... when are you planning to see it?
