Air was perfectly fine, acting was good, story boilerplate, sets and wardrobe felt very Of The Time. intrusive soundtrack but that's a lot of movies anymore. competently executed but I don't think it "ruled" in any sense

There was already a Beanie Mania document that came out a year or so ago that was perfectly fine to encapsulate the 90s mania. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16433744/ it was reasonably fine. i think it could have gone a little further about Ty being a psycho but it did touch on it. also touched on all the insane soccer mom mcmansionites ruining their lives and marriages consuming beanie babies i'll pass on yet another beanie doc

It's a made for TV movie premise with a bigger budget. It was pretty bizarre MJ himself was pointedly not in the movie. He's like a ghost and only his mother can speak to or for him.

I get that decision though, Jordan is such a legend that you can't have him there like at all. the movie's about the shoe deal and all the behind the scenes political/business finagling it took to make that happen, but if you have Jordan as a character it completely skews the perspective. you'd have to show him and his mom talking, him and his agent talking, him interacting with the shoe execs, the other characters would basically always be asking "where's Michael"

NBC has all the old episodes of Kolchak the Night Stalker for streaming and they hold up really well. obviously it’s pretty commonly known how it inspired the x files but it’s pretty cool how deeply that influence was transferred to the supernatural mystery genre in general. kolchak is an especially good character in contrast to many modern shows too, he’s a fallible, schlubby, sometimes awkward middle aged dude instead of a cut mega handsome genius or whatever

Remember when HBO wasn’t television? HBO was HBO, and they were above it all. Well, HBO isn’t HBO anymore. No one will confuse Max’s reality show, MILF Manor, with prestige television. Anyway, when I took a flyer and dove into MILF, I was probably inspired by 30 Rock’s fake reality show, MILF Island. Or maybe I was thinking of Stifler’s mom. Immediately, MILF – spoiler incoming – punks its participants. The MILFs will be living in a villa with their sons, and their sons will comprise the dating pool. Also, the MILFs will be rooming with their sons. Take a moment. Let that all marinate. Personally, I’d run from this enterprise like it was Epstein’s Island. But no one does. Apparently, everyone is down for an all-expense paid TV vacation. When they signed up for reality television, they knew the score. Embarrassment is just the cost of doing business. MILF is not a complete catastrophe, but it makes FBoy Island, hosted by the hilarious Nikki Glaser, look like a masterpiece. MILF has no Glaser or any host for that matter. When they show needs to deliver a message to the group, they text it to a participant, who reads it aloud. Perhaps MILF is host ess because they’re trying to be different. More likely, they’re saving dinero. Indeed, MILF’s budget is tight. There are no helicopter or even three-wheeler rides. However, there are a few paddleboard dates. Heck, MILF doesn’t even splurge for his and her spa massages. Instead, in one cringe-worthy segment of many, the participants play musical massage, my name. Blindfolded sons massage blindfolded moms, including their own. No music accompanies musical massage. However, some of the moms are quite, uh, vocal in their appreciation. No, MILF is not for the prudish. MILF has a few other ridiculous activities. Are the sons able to pick out their mother’s panties from a pile? In one inappropriate moment of many, a dude flosses with a skimpy pair. During a truth activity, a mom reveals that she had a fling with her son’s best friend. In the immediate aftermath, the affected son sulks and skinnydips in the pool for a few hours. Where else is he going to go? He’s sharing a room with his mom. Eventually, he gets over it. MILF’s all-you-can-eat breakfast is probably too good to abandon. Sure, MILF has its share of amusing moments, but it’s uneven and lacks direction. There’s no cash prize to shoot for. Couples do not have towalk down the aisle at the show’s conclusion, like in Love is Blind. There’s not even a stupid rose ceremony. Ultimately, MILF lacks urgency. I was able to get through nine episodes with relative ease because I was curious to see what maneuvers the MILF geniuses would come up with to keep the show going. So… just a guess, you want to know if there are any fantasy suite shenanigans. Well, for starters, MILF has no fantasy suite. MILF has a glamping tent. As far as, uh, romance, the MILFs are much more aggressive than the cubs. I’d refer to the MILFs as cougars, but they’re more like barracudas. Charlene is arguably the most aggressive. She genuinely wants a man to put on his man pants and to man up with a get-the-job-done mentality. Immediately after Charlene makes this plea, I imagine her with a man with a more laissez-faire approach. As Charlene makes herself available, this man blows bubbles and breaks out into a ballet performance. If you want to see if Charlene or any of the other barracudas fulfill, you’ll have to watch. I will not spoil, but will say that I found myself often rooting for the couples to not become physically entangled, particularly the couple with a nearly 40-year age gap. Joey is 20, but he looks like he just completed his Bar Mitzvah studies. I’d be surprised if there’s a second season of MILF. There was no “reunion” special. Just like its participants, my guess is that Max is embarrassed. Indeed, MILF is the furthest thing from prestige television. But for many of us that are too lowbrow for White House Plumbers, that’s the fun.
