My Little Over-Analysis of 'Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters' - Part 7: Mako's Little Filler Tsunami
With all due respect to the great Mako Tsunami, this is probably one of the most inconsequential episodes in the entire series. Well into the first arc's "Pokemon phase" of meeting the foe of the day while hiking around Pegasus' island, there's virtually no character development, or plot progression to be found here. It's the show at its most harmless and it's no wonder that Little Kuriboh never did a full parody of this episode, as it does a fine job of parodying itself as it is.

'Shaft' (2019) - Review (Netflix)
Back in 1971, a seminal blaxploitation film was released. Gordon Parks’ Shaft, starring Richard Roundtree in the lead role as John Shaft, was a landmark film in cinema. Shaft was a character that unashamedly was black, embracing black culture and attitudes of the times against the backdrop of an America trying to find an identity after the upheaval of the sixties, a decade that saw the civil rights movement, the assassination of John F Kennedy, and the last years of the Vietnam war.

A Promising Look at 'Yesterday'
Jack isn't finding much success in music. His friends cheer him on in the pubs and his best friend/manager, Ellie, works extra hard to find him gigs and drive him there. But on the verge of quitting, Jack (Himesh Patel) gets hit by a bus and loses a few teeth but gains something else. You see, right when the bus hit Jack, the entire world lost power and a few memories too. Jack wakes up in a world that no longer knows who the Beatles are (or Oasis but that's less important). Jack begins to realize that his single knowledge of the beloved band might be of some help. The small town Brit starts to work hard and write down all the lyrics he remembers so that he can share them and find some of that success that seemed to avoid him. On his road, there are some twists and shouts that makes him start to wonder how he is living in life.

My Review of 'What Men Want'
The premise of What Men Want kind of makes sense in today's climate, but the way the movie was portrayed makes me second guess this. This movie's predecessor, What Women Want, kind of made sense at the time that it came out. I'll explain.

'Father of the Year'—Review (Netflix)
Ben (Joey Bragg) and his best friend Larry (Matt Shively) go to visit Ben’s layabout, wastrel of a father, Wayne (David Spade). Ben is a college valedictorian and is leaving for New York, having got a job at a progressive, tech company, ISG. Ben is not overly excited to see his father, only doing so out of duty. Wayne shows himself to be as much of a loser as Ben believes.
