Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
DC does it again
I believed in the heart the Wonder Woman brand created like countless of others. The first wonderfully set up the super heroine for greatness and they filmed and wrote it wonderfully. I'm not saying it was amazing, but it was surprisingly better compared to the other films in DCs library. But the WW84 was a sad waste of my time as they shot the film from the three point line straight into the garbage. Nothing but net for DC. The film was so slow, lazy, and disrespectful to the DC fans who saw the first as a success in a sea of disappointment. The villain, played by Pascal, could've been a great foe but with questionable actions and character choices by the writing team left so much more to be desired. The chemistry between Gadot and Pine was refreshing if one of the limited silver linings in the 2 hour movie. While it had heart-even a super basic salt and pepper heart-it was still two sizes too small this holiday season.
Drag Race Holland (2020)
Drag Race Holland, Sashay Away
The show proves that changing an already solid, well-rounded formula does more bad than good. Production should takes notes on film, comedic, and general hosting and challenge cues from the US edition. There's a disconnect between Drag Race US and Drag Race Holland that not even the 30 second RuMail segments narrated by the shows creator and Drag icon, RuPaul, can save it from a sinking ship. The show lacks comedic value, fails simple video editing that both fans and critics know and love, and sound editing that just seems out of place the majority of the time. Only time will tell whether or not production learns from their mistakes and stays truer with the flagship model for their future iterations come renewal.
