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 ...

Help (2021) Ridder Films Release date  02/15/2022 Ratings My Rating: 6/10 #whatonwhatsgood Fan Club Rating: 65% #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) After a break-up with her boyfriend Chris (Stuart Wolfe-Murray), Grace (Emily Redpath) goes on a surprise visit to see perfect couple Liv (Sarah Alexandra Marks) and her long-time boyfriend, Edward (Louis James).  They just moved to the country and it's Ed's birthday. During her stay, Grace learns that the relationship seems a bit dodgy and she wonders whether she created the tension between them.  A strange neighbour David (Blake Ridder), who Edward despises, lurks in the background.  What does David know?  Do they all have secrets?  What will we find out about Grace, Liv, and Edward? It's a decent movie.  If you are looking for a little drama in your life, it might be worth a watch.  The overall acting was tolerable.  I wasn't really a fan of the ending. Directed by Blake Rid...

Somebody Feed Phil Netflix SEASON 5 PREMIERE May 25, 2022 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) Philip Rosenthal's (creator of Everybody Loves Raymond) personality is incredible.  What a positive human being.  He’s always happy.  I love it.  In his documentary series, Phil eats random food worldwide and loves it.  He’s not an expert but he's highly entertaining and enjoys meeting new people.   In Season 5, Phil travels to five different countries to try their food and learn about their culture.  Each episode is delightful and easy to watch.  You might even want to travel after watching the series.

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...

Interview with Chef Ryan Rondeno Today on What On What's Good with Jovin Tardif, I am here with Award-Winning Chef to the Stars Ryan Rondeno. Some of his previous clients include Diddy, Will Smith, Xhibit, Common, Tyrese & more. In our #cinqque5tion interview, we discuss his training with globally-renowned chefs, mocktail/cocktail suggestions, a Halloween recipe recommendation & his FoodCulture App. 1. When did you know you wanted to be a Chef? I’ve always messed around in the kitchen at a young age, but didn’t take it serious until the age of 16. I always thought that pastries would be a great avenue, but learning every aspect of the kitchen began to serve me well. I believe when the passion and inquiry increased, it was time to pursue a career in culinary arts. 2. Can you tell us about your training with globally-renowned chefs Emeril Lagasse, Anton Schulte, Mathais Wolf, Sue Zemenick and Gerard Maras? I’ve had the privilege of working with a great group of chefs who hel...
