"The TV Special features American stand-up comedian, actor, and filmmaker Jerrod Carmichael in a standup comedy show at the legendary Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City.

Make sure to check out Jerrod Carmichael Rothaniel on HBO Max.  What an experience.  Am I the only one that thought that it was not only funny but it felt you were watching a therapy session? I love that the audience got involved with the show.  Loved it!

TV Mini Series: The Dropout (2022)

The Dropout Elizabeth Meriwether Pictures/Semi-Formal Productions/20th Television/Searchlight Television Disney Platform Distribution/Hulu Genre Drama #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) 'The Dropout' tells the story of Elizabeth Holmes (Amanda Seyfried).   The series basically explores the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. Her goal was to create a blood diagnostic technology that will be able to run hundreds of tests on a single drop of blood.  Her technology never worked.   I must say, Amanda Seyfried does an amazing portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes.  The story allows you to see Holmes in high school, as a college freshman, and eventually a businesswoman. If you like Netflix’s “ Inventing Anna " or  Showtime’s “ Super Pumped ” you will definitely like "The Dropout".  If you want to learn more about the story, make sure to check out the HBO documentary 'The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley' (2019) dire...

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 ...

Film review: The Last Tourist

Film review: The Last Tourist Born Explorer Films, Skin and Bones Film Elevation Pictures Release date The film is releasing in select theatres on April 1 and across all digital and on-demand platforms on April 5. #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "'The Last Tourist' tackles overtourism and how it disturbs wildlife, the earth, and vulnerable populations.    Holiday hotspots are reaching a breaking point in terms of numbers.  The film mentions that travel rates have increased from 25 million people annually in 1950 to 1.6 billion in 2020.   The documentary conveys that tour operators, travel companies, and cruises are persuading you on how to spend your money.  This leaves the local communities that heavily rely on the tourism industry with nothing. Social media could also be a reason why individuals need to go to certain places. They also need that "selfie" to prove it.  But what will we do to get that photo?  There is foo...

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 ...

Lockdown Uncork’d Entertainment Release date: On Demand and DVD 02/01/2022 My Rating 6/10 #whatonwhatsgood Fan Club Rating 57% #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) Rex (Kevin Nash) is looking to murder the homeless people living in a deserted school in the hopes that it’ll stop the newest and most deadly strain of COVID.  "If COVID doesn’t kill you, they will." In his mind, he plans to save the world by wiping out the homeless with his buddies. I don't think you really need to watch this action/thriller film.  WWE Hall of Fame wrestler Kevin Nash deserves better.

The documentary also has others like P.K.
