Echo
With Echo now released I thought we should do a little comic book background on her as well as assessing how accurate the show was. Now as always I do not care if story beats are accurate, that is not how comic book adaptations, or any adaptations for that matter should work. I do however expect characterizations to be accurate. The show has actually done a pretty good job but let's go through why and what we might see based on her appearances in the comic books.

Echo
Recently Disney+ dropped its latest series, Echo. As with anything new that the MCU dares to do the show was met with many complaints. But as we know the general public’s opinion on what is of quality or not means absolutely nothing to me. So I of course had to watch it myself. The series is a very bingeable 5 episodes so I did finish it in a weekend. As of right now it is being railed as the second lowest rated MCU show…at 73% audience rating. First of all that isn’t at all a bad score, second of all we need to leave 10% wiggle room for internet incels angry that women exist and another 10% for the fact that Echo isn’t an established character in the MCU. Let’s go ahead and be really honest as to why WandaVision, Loki and Falcon and the Winter Soldier are rated so high, the audience was already familiar with them as characters. The first season of Loki sucked and some of y'all seem to be forgetting that. Also the lowest rated is Secret Invasion at 53% which is still way too high. So grouping them together when there is a 20% difference is insane. So here we go with the reality of Echo.

Best of Psych
Psych remains one of the best crime serials as well as one of the best television shows ever written. It stays consistent in tone, writing style and quality from episode 1 to the series finale. The show also remains underrated and underappreciated so I’ve decided to make a list of what I feel are the best episodes of the long running TV series.

Best Movies of 2023
In addition to our master list we are going to go over the Best movies of 2023, the blandest movies of 2023 and the worst movies of 2023. This is the Best list. This list is really in no particular order. I think every film on this list is of the exact same quality and I would rewatch every single film on this list several times over. Our top 5 best movies of 2023 are;

Blandest Movies of 2023
The reality is that a lot of movies are just mediocre, kind of meh. They weren’t terrible but they were also nothing special. These were just movies that came out this year. They didn’t inspire me nor did they make me violently ill. So this is that list. This is the list of the most mediocre movies of 2023. These will be going from most to least interesting in a very relative manner.

Worst Movies of 2023
With as many amazing movies as we got last year there were bound to be a few bombs. Some bombed harder than others but altogether these are the worst movies of the year. Alright here we go with the list of the absolute worst movies of 2023. These are unforgivably bad with absolutely no redeeming qualities. This list also kind of has a wide range of scores so we will be going from the least offensive to the most upsettingly bad.

Oscar Nominations
Okay so we have been over what I would like to happen as these Oscar nominations are announced. But now we have decided to go a more realistic route. This is my list for what I think the academy is actually going to nominate. Now I may not round out every category but this is a general idea of the movies that the academy will highlight (whether deserved or not).

Oscar Nominations
We are going to do a couple of separate articles in the next couple of days, this one is going to be my personal wants for Oscar nominations. We will then do a separate article for what I think will actually happen in the upcoming Oscar nominations. And then of course we will cover the actual nominations. But here and now we are focusing on what movies I would like to be nominated in each of the important categories.

The Academy of Dramas Only
Last year that was some rightful outrage over the Oscar nominations snubbing Mia Goth for her performance in Pearl. There is often talk in film circles about why on earth musicals and comedies get shoved together and why neither genre seems to get the proper recognition. The reality is that in the last decade or so the academy has stopped acknowledging these genres as valid or skillful. It's really embarrassing for them because I could (and am going to) easily argue that these are in fact some of the MOST skillful genres and they require a lot more from a cast and crew than the movies that tend to be highlighted. Now we’ve already talked about what could actually be considered Oscar bait, now let's discuss why the academy thinks that if a movie is enjoyable it isn't Oscar worthy.

Anyone But You
2023 is ending with one of the best rom coms of all time, Anyone But You. Now the first thing I have to say about this movie is fire the marketing team. When I first saw the trailer I wanted to see it because I like rom coms and Sydney Sweeney is hot. However there was nothing that even vaguely indicated that this romantic comedy was a Shakespeare adaptation. Literally the best romantic comedies of all time are Shakespeare adaptations and this movie is no different. Anyone But You beautifully adapts Much Ado About Nothing in a modern and entertaining way.
