#whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif)

Happy Madison/Netflix film Home Team isn't too bad.  It kind of has a Mighty Ducks feel to it.

Kevin James plays Sean Payton (head coach of the New Orleans Saints).  It's the true story of Sean Payton’s gap year from the NFL after he was suspended.  Near the beginning of the film, Payton leaves New Orleans for Texas to try to build a relationship with his son Connor (Tait Blum).  While he watches his 12-year-old son’s school team (the Warriors), he decides to help this mediocre football team. After a lot of effort, Payton manages to turn the team around, get a championship opportunity and reconnect with his son.

How I Met Your Father Bays Thomas Productions/The Walk-Up Company/20th Television Disney Platform Distribution Hulu #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) In How I Met Your Father on Hulu , future Sophie (Kim Cattrall in 2050) is telling her son the story of how she met his father.  It all started in 2021 Sophie played by Hilary Duff and her friends are trying to figure out love and life.  In my opinion, it's best to treat this as a new story instead of comparing it to " How I Met Your Mother ".  Social Media #Hulu #Disney #HowIMetYourFather #HowIMetYourMother #HilaryDuff #HuluSeries Created by Isaac Aptaker & Elizabeth Berger Inspired by How I Met Your Mother by Carter Bays & Craig Thomas Starring Hilary Duff as Sophie Christopher Lowell as Jesse Walker Francia Raisa as Valentina Suraj Sharma as Sid Tom Ainsley as Charlie Tien Tran as Ellen Gilbert Kim Cattrall as future Sophie Composer Jeff Cardoni Executive producers Isaac Aptaker &

TV Review: The Neighborhood

The Neighborhood Mud, Blood & Beer Productions/A Bird and a Bear Entertainment/Kapital Entertainment/Trill Television CBS Studios/CBS #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "The Neighborhood on CBS is about a friendly Midwestern couple (Dave and Gemma Johnson) and their son Grover (Hank Greenspan) who move to a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Gemma (Beth Behrs) got a new job as a school principal in L.A. Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) is just about the friendliest guy in the world.  I don't think anyone can dislike him.  Well one person can... They have a pretty opinionated next-door neighbor, the grouchy mechanic Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer).  He has a wife named Tina (Tichina Arnold) and two sons Marty (Marcel Spears) and Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney).   Dave is desperately trying to fit in with the community.  Will the Johnsons be accepted by everyone?   The series is quite amusing.  Tina as Calvin's wife is fun as she keeps Calvin in line.  Some of

TV Series Review: Missing: Dead or Alive?

Missing: Dead or Alive? Blast Films Netflix #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Missing: Dead or Alive? follows a female-led missing persons unit as they work on cases from 2019 to 2021.  The missing person cases included Lorraine Garcia, Amirah Watson, David Taylor, and Sierra Stevens. Overall, the show is decent. It felt a bit staged at times.  It wasn't my favourite true crime series of the year, but it's worth watching if you need something to watch. Description Follow officers from a South Carolina sheriff’s department as they urgently search for individuals who've disappeared under troubling circumstances. Release date  May 10, 2023 Directed by  Alex Irvine-Cox Executive Producer  Graeme McAulay Co-Executive Producer  Stuart Froude Producer  Meghan Just-Truelove Episodes  4x45-min episodes Season 1 Episode #1.1  S1, Ep1 10 May 2023 My Rating 6/10 #whatonwhatsgood Rating 65% Episode #1.2 S1, Ep2 10 May 2023 My Rating 6/10 #whatonwhatsgood Rating 68% Episode #1.3 S1, Ep3

The Thing About Pam Weird Egg Productions/Big Picture Co./NBC News Studios/Blumhouse Television NBC #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif)   "Who doesn't like a true-crime story?  'In The Thing About Pam' Renée Zellweger plays Pam Hupp.  In this particular mystery series, you are told right away who murdered Betsy (Katy Mixon).   But you get to learn how the killer makes others believe that there could be other suspects.

Encounters Netflix Release date September 27th, 2023 Description Explosive new revelations from military whistleblowers of alien encounters, UFOs, and clandestine Pentagon programs, as well as coverage from major news sources, have breathed a fresh urgency into a topic that, for decades, we’ve relegated to the realm of conspiracy. ENCOUNTERS, directed by Yon Motskin (Generation Hustle) and executive produced by Amblin Television, Emmy-winning Boardwalk Pictures and Vice Studios, is a landmark four-part series that travels the globe to explore four extraordinary true stories of encounters with otherworldly phenomena. Each cinematic and deeply-researched episode tells a single story: strange lights in the sky over small-town Texas; submersible space crafts haunting a coastal Welsh village; an alien encounter with schoolchildren in Zimbabwe; non-human intelligence reportedly interfering with a nuclear power plant in Japan.
