The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)

Nic Cage is back! Not that he went anywhere. It’s more than just a Nic Cage highlights reel with family drama, action pieces, and actual funny moments that weren’t spoiled by the trailers. Not to mention an amazing performance from Pedro Pascal. If you enjoy the enigmatic being that is the legendary Nic Cage, or even if you don’t, it’s a fun movie.

S02 E08 – Mercy – Feedback

“Highly illogical.”–Spock. OG Spock said it right.
Fans of Old Trek admired the show for its unique personality, but now Star Trek and all of its spinoffs have gone the way of the blockbuster. With uninspired action set pieces, unnecessary character trauma, and nonsensical behavior of Star Fleet Officers, we’re really missing Classic Trek. The intellectual heritage got blown away by the lens flares. Let’s explore the universe, not have another CGI battle.

No Big Thing

A.Ron thinks this is the dumbest episode of Knight Rider to date, but Jay’s loving this week’s Devon-centric action, as we find out he’s a rather deep old file after all. Devon winds up being the sole witness to the slaying of a journalist who knows too much, and finds himself on the wrong side of the law against a slew of crooked cops. Can Michael  and KITT clear his name and bring down the corrupt county judge behind an elaborate cover up of construction malfeasance? And more importantly, can they make it to the county line before the sheriff’s end their do-gooding permanently?!
