#whatonwhatsgood Express Review 

In the horror/comedy film ‘Studio 666’, rock band the Foo Fighters are looking for a place to record their tenth album.  They find out about a place in Encino, Los Angeles.  Apparently, this is a place where you can find the perfect sound...but at what cost?

Grohl is excited about this place.  

When they arrive on location, however, Dave Grohl starts to struggle to make music and things start to get extremely weird.  I must say, this is a ridiculous horror film.

The acting in this film isn’t amazing but you do get some funny cameos with Lionel Richie, Will Forte, Whitney Cummings, Jenna Ortega, and others.  

I have to admit, I did laugh a few times with Grohl's over-the-top character.

Unfortunately, I felt that the movie ran quite long.  Studio 666 isn't a masterpiece but if you are looking for a laid-back/silly movie to watch this might be right up your alley.

Deadloch Amazon Studios, OK Great Productions, Guesswork Television Amazon Prime Video #whatonwhatsgood Express Review Deadloch is an Australian comedy/crime show. It is set in a town called Deadloch, Tasmania.  In the first episode, Trent Latham (Barry Wheeler) is found naked and dead on a beach.  The question is can Sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and Det. Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami) work together to solve the mystery?  It's a whodunnit. Enjoy! Description Deadloch is an eight-part crime comedy. When a local man turns up dead on a beach, two vastly different detectives are thrown together to solve the case. Deadloch puts a comedic spin on the crime genre, completely flipping it and challenging the tropes of the genre. It’s a compelling mystery with The Kates’ signature humour, and explores themes of truth, misogyny, gender, and race. The series features a large ensemble cast led by Kate Box (Fires, Wentworth), Madeleine Sami (The Breaker Upperers), Nina Oyama (Utopia),

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 fun-loving char
