Reviews
Yochanan
Hope (in theatres, streaming soon) SF/Action/Horror. 2:37 R-Rated. South Korean, directed by Na Hong-jin. Set near the DMZ. Amazing set dressing, and the cause is teased for a long time. Very little character development, but it leads up to a crazy apocalyptic ending. Lots of amazing practical events. Has similarities to Nope. A bit of an abrupt ending. Worth full price.
The Legend of Korra (Paramount+) part of the Airbender universe. 4 seasons, 52 episodes. Follows the next water bender. More mature themes than the earlier shows. Steampunky. Ends a bit abruptly. Worth full price, though would have liked a better resolution.
Various Star Trek podcasts:
- Dammit Jim: originally put off by the humor, but now really liked it. [B-]
- Strange New Pod not really good. [D]
- WTH Just Happened (a regular series from Trek Culture): More balanced and nuanced. [A-]
Rumor of the Week
Yochanan has such grading distinction he is being sought after to teach college classes in media studies.
