"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.

Untold: Operation Flagrant Foul Players' Tribune Netflix Release date August 30, 2022 Directed by David Terry Fine Starring Tim Donaghy #whatonwhatsgood Express Review In David Terry Fine's Untold: Operation Flagrant Foul former NBA referee Tim Donaghy, best friend Tommy Marino, and Jimmy ‘The Sheep’ Battista discuss the huge gambling sports scandal in 2007.  Donaghy, who was called up to the NBA in 1994, gambled on NBA games he officiated. In this sports documentary series, you also get to hear from FBI agent Phil Scala, Donaghy’s lawyer John Lauro, Donaghy’s ex-wife Kim Strupp Donaghy, and others. It's interesting to get everyone's perspective of what really happened.  The question is will their stories all be the same? From what I can gather, they started small.   Once they realized how easy it was, Donaghy started to bet on the NBA games he was officiating.  Before each game, Tim would call up Tommy and give him his predictions.  Tommy would le...

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.

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.

Film Review: The Man from Toronto (2022)

The Man from Toronto (2022) Columbia Pictures, Bron Creative, Escape Artists Netflix Release date June 24, 2022 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) The Man From Toronto is a decent action flick.  I must say Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson work very well together in this action-comedy film. Basically in this movie, you have a case of mistaken identity. Let's just say that Teddy Jackson (Kevin Hart), an out of work gym membership salesman, walked into the wrong room and now everyone thinks he is the world’s deadliest killer,  “The Man from Toronto”. (MFT)  What will happen when "The Man from Toronto" (Woody Harrelson) meets Teddy?    The other cast members (Kaley Cuoco, Jasmine Mathews, Lela Loren, Pierson Fode, Jencarlos Canela, and Ellen Barkin) really add some excitement to the storyline.   Let's hope Hart and Harrelson can team up again on another adventure. Directed by Patrick Hughes Screenplay by Robbie Fox and Chris Bre...
