Ida Red (2021)
good!
Maybe I reviewed it a little high to balance out the other reviews. This is much better than your average 'geezer teaser'. None of the actors phone it in and they are true professionals and great actors. I don't know why they don't get more respected film roles these days. As someone else pointed out, the kitchen scene has great acting that really captures how pyschopaths are like.
I Catfished My Kid (2017)
disgusting and unethical
This is honestly so disgusting. Not only is it borderline incest, it's also gaslighting and will further traumatize the kid and generally mess them up about relationships both with their parents and future sexual/romantic ones. Child predation is a crime because children are not fully developed enough to make fully formed decisions about relationships, if they could then such laws wouldn't exist and they wouldn't be considered children. So why blame and punish the child, especially after going out of your way to prey and gaslight them yourself? (if it was the actual pedo being targeted ala to catch a predator it would be entrapment, for a victim it's just gaslighting i guess). I mean it's literally victim blaming! I can't even...

Encouraging Debt Culture
I was channel flipping today when I came across this corporate propaganda - aimed at kids and on public television! It depicted young kids - preteeens - taking out business loans, and encouraged other kids to do the same thing! Their interest rates were terrible at that! The last thing we need to do is raise ANOTHER generation of debtors. Luckily, I think most parents today realize this is a bad idea, given their own economic problems and the economic crisis in general. But when I, and probably parents, turn on PBS, I think there is going to be some level of neutrality and sound educational material for children. The kind of stuff you can let your kids watch without having to explain to them that the information they're being fed is biased and shouldn't be taken at face value. Sadly, that seems to not be the case. It's fine to teach people to manage their money, pay back their loans (IF they do decide to take them out - we need to stop assuming that everyone should or has to take them out), build their credit (although our reliance on credit scores also encourages a debt culture), and so on, when they're old enough to make these decisions based on their own needs and assets. We shouldn't be normalizing debt to young kids!
