Just watched the new season opener of WBWP. It was shiiiiiiiitttttttttt. To be fair, I loved watching Justin teaching ALL of his children in the lair, Roman is as funny as ever (in the scenes before he got cursed) and us original fans are always gonna love references to episodes we watched when they were new. Onto things I hated: Onyx. That’s it; no notes. This new villain is just Onyx again. Yeah, who’s ripping off who now? Unless The Thundermans did it first; I never watched it. I’m sorry if I come off as this old man who won’t move on from the past but I keep getting reminded of how skeevy Disney treated not only Villains but every other newer original non-nostalgiabait show especially on cliffhangers. It’s been a whole calendar year since the show was announced to be cancelled after almost a whole other calendar year since the now-final episode in December waiting for any sort of announcement and was on the same month Wizards Beyond Waverly Place debuted and I’m still in bereavement! I want Keyan to review this show eventually but I know nostalgic shows are always gonna get more votes so whatever. And this Onyx-off was just a sore spot for me. As for the actual plot, you have to be really clever to come up with new ideas on a character getting turned into babies and/or old and they did both. I didn’t even laugh when Avengers: Endgame did both and I didn’t laugh when this show did both. Also big butt joke because kids show. More than any episode of this show so far, this was the most I felt embarrassed to watch as a grown man and lowkey wish we got that adult revival that even Todd J Greenwald wanted instead. Haven’t seen the second episode yet, maybe it’ll be better.

You either die a hero or you live long enough to be on a podcast. This week I was a guest on AfterFerb to discuss the Phineas and Ferb episode “The Bad Old Days”, and I put forth a very comprehensive pitch on how this easily could’ve been a series-best episode if it met its potential (which it didn't). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0l3o... My pitch then becomes incomprehensible and slowly descends into the the plot of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. A fun time was had by all - including you?
Other recent appearances from me: I watched Transformers Age of Extinction with Jobby the Hong and Kellen Goff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt4NV... as well as Transformers Revenge of the Fallen with Spilling the Milk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOLua...
