TV Series Review: Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber (2022)

By

Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber  Showtime  Genre Anthology, Drama, Biopic #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "In this series, 'Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber', you get to know the CEO of Uber Travis Kalanick (Joseph Gordon-Levitt).  During interviews, Kalanick has a habit of asking the question: “Are you an asshole?” And he expects you to say “yes.” Travis is a disruptor and he is looking for investors. In 2011 (as UberCab), he sold Bill Gurley (Kyle Chandler).  With taxi/limo companies and others frustrated at Travis, what will he have to do to get Uber established?  What will it take to keep the company going? How did Uber grow into what we see today?  If you like ' Inventing Anna ' (Netflix), 'The Dropout' (Hulu), or WeCrashed (Apple) you might want to check out this series." Release date The series will premiere on Showtime on February 27, 2022 Created by Brian Koppelman and David Levien Based on Super Pumped: The Bat...

TV Series Review: How I Met Your Father

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 Series Review: Deadloch

By

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 ...

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.

Interview with Star Trek: Picard actress Adele Pomerenke Today on What On What's Good with Jovin Tardif , I am here with Adele Pomerenke .  You may have recently seen Adele in her first big television debut in the second season of STAR TREK: PICARD.  In our #cinqque5tion interview, we discuss STAR TREK: PICARD, her background in dance & performing arts, how she got into film acting, and much more. 1. Do you have any fun behind-the-scenes for your first big television debut in the second season of STAR TREK: PICARD? Yes, of course! There is always something going on BTS that you never plan on. At the time, I was getting back in shape for The Nutcracker tour with Anaheim ballet. So my favorite moment would be in between shots. I was doing a ballet barre or some sort of workout. This ultimately led to a fun conversation with Michelle Hurd when she noticed me stretching my leg over my head while sitting at the helm between shots. She informed me her sister is a dancer also!...
