I don't remember any longer when I first learned about Gilead Media. I still haven't visited the store Eroding Winds, but I plan to in the future. Then again, this is a bit of a personal digression. A Wandering Path as a film is anything but wandering or scattered. The film actually was a quick viewing experience for me because of how natural and clear the arc of the overall documentary is to follow. I think Michael Dimmitt did great with all the interviews whether it was musicians in the various bands mentioned in the film or friends/family members connected to the music and record label. I wouldn't say this is a documentary you watch to feel entertained by in the traditional sense of watching a film; the best way to approach this film is either to learn about music you're already familiar with or to learn about new music you've heard about and the people involved with it. I would primarily recommend this film to people who are already a fan of "metal" or heavy music in general, but I don't know if it will connect with fans of music documentaries overall.

A Morphenomonal Special
19 April 2023
Excuse the corny title, but I couldn't help it. Caught up in the nostalgia while also enjoying some new touches, Once & Always delivers on a special that is easy to follow without being cheesy to allow original fans like myself and even younger people to enjoy a fun adventure for an hour. I see where this easily could've been extended to a series, but I'm relieved they didn't because this special keeps it from being an experiment in excess. Charlie Kersh as Minh is a welcome addition and couldn't have done a better job. There are plenty of references to the former rangers series' that every fan will enjoy and I know I enjoyed it far more than I expected to.
