John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in LA (2024)

Its perfect for a one week show

[9/10 · 8 May 2024]

This show is a bit crazy, but I think that is why I like it. It's perfect for a one week show, and I love that it is live, because the craziness makes a lot more sense. I am not a huge fan of Mullaney stand up but I like this show. John has good guests and pretty good segments. It seems like they do this for the Netflix is a Joke week so they have a lot of comedians at the ready. The topic of the show works out very well. I love the live phone calls and that John always asks what type of car they drive. It's all dumb but that is usually what good comedy is. I hope they continue to do these shows annually because it's just enough.

The Lost Kitchen (2021– )

Title is true, they are lost. Pompous and out of touch

[1/10 · 12 April 2021]

Man this show is obnoxious. They had a great plot with covid and it totally showed that these people are completely out of touch with the real world. Especially when it came to actually being safe for themselves and customers, the owner and staff wore masks when they felt like it and just cried and cried about how hard it is, when REAL restaurants that are open all year, not just the summer, had to struggle. This show may be good for a season but I have a feeling everyone will be completely shut off and annoyed by the owner.

Disrupting Wine - The Life of an Entrepreneur (2020)

A story about a boring "entrepreneur"

[3/10 · 19 August 2020]

A poorly cobbled together doc. It's mainly about the self centered founder and his family who he pretty much neglected until recently. The doc really doesn't have a plot or any type of ending. They should wait to see if the company actually goes somewhere before touting this a success.

Jack Ryan: Blue Gold (2019) Season 2, Episode 5

This episode is too much

[5/10 · 11 November 2019]

This episode and season is just too far fetched. I get this is all make believe but it's too much. The bar scene hilarious, the ex German operative just goes around London finds her MI-5 friend who spills his guts to Ryan. Then the 3 end up in some CEOs office again spilling his guts.

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019)

Aaron Paul cannot lead and cannot act dramatically

[2/10 · 14 October 2019]

This movie puts Jesse in a different role and a role that Aaron Paul cannot my handle. His ability to lead a movie has always been very week. The plot is fragile and the movie really shouldn't have been made at all.

Ugly Delicious (2018– )

I want to like this, but . . .

[5/10 · 13 October 2019]

I want to like this, I really do, but why does so much of this need to be about race. I have no problem discussing the origins and what the food means to that particular ethnicity, but this goes way too far. I'm white and I felt so much unneeded guilt. They completely broad brush that every white person thinks and acts the same way and does not appreciate Asian culture and thinks the food is weird. They say Americans will not eat traditional Asian food, but that doesn't make them hate a culture or ethnicity. It just makes them human and their culture is not used to that type of food.

And David Chang makes himself a complete hypocrite when he says it "pisses him off" when White people say they like Chinese Food, but have never had traditional Chinese food. Skip 5 mins and he is talking to a WHITE Chinese food expert in China. She has him try traditional Chinese food and he spits it out right in front of the chef who prepared it. WTF!?

Kings of Beer (2019)

90min Budweiser Commercial

[1/10 · 5 August 2019]

The trailer makes you think this is a story about a beer competition for whoever can make the best "American Lager", problem is that the only beer you can make is Budweiser. And you have to be a master brewer at Budweiser. This really should be pitched as a documentary about Budweiser. Worst part is the documentary isn't even good.

This is pretty much a 90min commercial. I assume they are doing this because AB is getting KILLED by microbreweries. What a shame.

Jack of all Trades (2018)

Totally uneventful.

[2/10 · 13 April 2019]

Don't waste your time or $ watching this. The main dude is a complete wuss who's almost as annoying as he was at his bat mitzvah.

Leaving Neverland (2019)

DONT READ INTO 1/10 REVIEWS

[10/10 · 6 March 2019]

Anyone who gives this 1/10 has an agenda and thinks Michael Jackson is totally innocent just read the reviews, they're actors they're doing this for $$ blah blah blah. This is a well done documentary from 2 individuals who have everything to lose. Too much evidence it to believe them. Watch for yourself.

Norm Macdonald Has a Show (2018)

Great show

[10/10 · 15 September 2018]

This is how to interview. Norm is asking the questions we all want to ask. Plus he is hilarious

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

Awesome

[10/10 · 29 August 2018]

It's worth watching all the previous marvel films. I think they do a very good job managing the level of characters.

The Week Of (2018)

Fun watch

[7/10 · 30 April 2018]

Don't take this movie too seriously. It's a fun easy watch movie.

Conan (2010–2021)

Best late night. PERIOD.

[10/10 · 31 March 2018]

For 25 Years Conan has been unstoppable And always true to his own comedy never a sellout.

Rise (2018)

OMG, this show is a joke.

[1/10 · 30 March 2018]

This show is way too damn serious. It's a school play, not a school shooting. Everyone chill out and don't be so righteous.

Just do yourself a favor and watch something else. (Not This is Us)
