Archive 81 Atomic Monster Productions/Sonnenshine Productions Netflix #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) The drama/horror/mystery series Archive 81 on Netflix is about a video archivist, Dan Turner (Mamoudou Athie) who is hired by CEO, Virgil Davenport (Martin Donovan) to restore a series of old tapes by himself in a secured and isolated compound for 100K.  At first, Dan was hesitant but his friend Mark (Matt McGorry) convinces him to take the job. At the compound, he has no internet access and very little cell reception.  His only job is to uncover what’s on those tapes.   On the recordings, Dan discovers that they are recording of a young woman, Melody Pendras (Dina Shihabi), in 1994 in an apartment called Villers. Dan's job is to figure out how the fire happened in the  building.  In the 1994 video cassettes, we learn that Melody is trying to learn about the community and her birth mother.  We watch as Melody interviews apartmen...

TV Series Review: Bel-air (2022)

Bel-Air Season 1 No. of episodes: 10 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) Bel-Air is a dramatic version of the '90s comedy sitcom 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air'.  It's about a young Will Smith who has to go to L.A. because of some issues happening in Philadelphia.  Just like in the original series, Will (Jabari Banks) has to get used to his new surroundings with his wealthy family in Los Angeles.  The series is interesting and they made some adjustments to the characters. Uncle Phil (Adrian Holmes) is slightly different in this show.  He's strict but fair.  He also has a few secrets. Aunt Vivian (Cassandra Freeman) plays a similar role to the 90's sitcom where she helps everyone try to accomplish their goals and become successful.  The only difference in this show is that she used to paint and she stopped doing it to help Uncle Phil with his political career. Carlton (Olly Sholotan) was a bit of a shock to me.  I was so used to his ...

TV Series Review: Inventing Anna (2022)

Inventing Anna Shondaland Netflix #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) It was a bit silly but for some reason, I binged all nine episodes and I'm sure you will do the same. Inventing Anna tells the story of Anna Sorokin, a.k.a. Anna Delvey.   Anna is known as the woman who swindled New York’s elite out of more than $200,000.  She told everyone that she was a wealthy German heiress and that she wanted to start her own foundation.   We later learn that she didn't have a penny to her name. Reporter Vivian Kent (Anna Chlumsky) with some occasional assistance from co-workers Maud (Anna Deavere Smith), Lou (Jeff Perry), and Barry (Terry Kinney) spend 9 episodes trying to figure out who Anna is through interviews with friends and acquaintances.  My only comment is that I didn't really like Ozark’s Julia Garner accent as Anna Delvey.  However, at the same time, if she was tricking everyone maybe that's the reason she had such a unique acc...

Interview with   post-pop artist, songwriter, videographer, and Web3 innovator   Amanda Frances Today on What On What's Good with Jovin Tardif , I am here with Amanda Frances .  Her latest single is “ making out with vampires ”.  Frances will be dropping a single as well as a mini film music video NFT each month leading up to the release of her debut EP, “attachment theory,” produced by Juno-nominated producer, Father Bobby Townsend.  In our #cinqquestion interview, we discuss what made her decide to be a musician, musicians that inspire her, indie label Sadboy Records , interest outside of music, and much more.   1. What made you decide to be a musician? I don’t know if I could even say that I decided to be a musician - music, and particularly writing was just always what I was innately drawn to. I think I just naturally gravitated toward spending more and more of my time doing what makes me feel most creative and most empowered in that creati...
