AUGUST PICKS!

And we’re back with another month wrap up! August involved a lot of TV watching (as per usual), but I feel like I watched a lot of things I’ve already talked about before (ex: The 100, Violetta). So it was a little bit harder to feature some new titles. I felt accomplished this month because I finished quite a few series. So, without further ado...let’s do this!

Spoilers!! But you knew that already :) 

..

...

......

So I know I’ve spoken about some of these shows A LOT recently, but I still had to include them in this wrap up because they were a good amount of the month. (Even if they feel like they were so long ago.) 

CURSED

This book to screen adaptation on Netflix following Nimue (AKA the Lady of the Lake) re-invents the King Arthur myth. It was an entertaining and enjoyable watch that makes me hope there’s a second season. There were certain parts that bothered me and I wish some characters had more time on screen, but as someone who likes King Arthur and fantasy TV I’d recommend it. 3/5 for me. 

For more on my thoughts regarding the show check out my earlier post: **Spoilers** Featuring Cursed

DC’S STARGIRL

A show that I’ve often been documenting my reviews/feelings after watching each episode. (That’s how you can tell IT’S THAT GOOD.) While it was a bit slow in the beginning (mainly because of it having the quality of being on a streaming service-ending on a cliffhanger for you to binge the next episode immediately kind of feel), it picked up and has easily become one of my favorites for the year. (YEAH...I KNOW. I SAID YEAR.) You can check out my page for more specific reactions in my posts, but here are some of the moments that stick out to me the most when I think about season 1.  

I can’t wait for season 2!!

AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER

June doesn’t feel like that long ago, but because I started season 1 two months ago (and because of the world of quarantine) it feels like a long time ago. Especially when this show is only 18-20 episodes that are each about 20/25 minutes. For me, I enjoyed season 1, but not as much as seasons 2 and 3. I definitely watched the first season slower because of this. Once the Ba Sing Se plot happened I was very invested. I enjoyed most of Book 2 in the Earth Kingdom before this, but Ba Sing Se was definitely the best. I was so impressed that they put that into a kid show. Then again, there’s so much in this show that is well done and brings up such relevant issues to a younger audience. I loved following Aang, Katara and Sakka and enjoyed Toph’s addition to Team Avatar. Overall I think Uncle Iroh is my favorite character in the show. I loved all the wisdom he had and how he saw the best in Zuko the entire time. Their team up was great and I am so happy he got his tea shop in the end. His escape from prison was amazing. I love a good redemption arc and from the start was excited to see Prince Zuko’s (it’s one of the ‘spoilers’ I knew going in). I think it was really well done and I liked how they showed him struggling with it. The last agni kai between Zuko and Azula was such a beautiful scene and the music score behind it was so chilling. I love how they chose a slow, instrumental song to play in the background. It’s not what I was expecting and it was such an awesome choice. Overall, I really liked the music and have added it to my writing playlist. I’m really glad I decided to watch Avatar the Last Airbender. 

From one binged show starting in June to another....

VIOLETTA SEASON 2

It’s crazy; you don’t think 80 episodes would go by that fast, but they do. Once you hit episode 50, I just zip by the rest in the season. So many of the plots get SO GOOD, you can’t help but watch so many episodes back to back (to back). For season 2, episode 75 was one of my favorites for the whole season. I love how some of the cast actually got to go to Madrid. (Even the intro music changed when they were there.) Diego really grew on me. I loved the added plot of discovering who his dad is! Feels very telenovela. Gregorio’s reaction was priceless-such great acting-and I loved how much it has changed his character so far. I’m excited to see where he is headed for season 3. 

Leonetta forever! The reason they weren’t together was a bit weak, but I get they needed the love triangle. Overall the Leon/Violetta/Diego love triangle was a lot stronger than season 1′s (in my opinion). It felt better developed. I enjoyed a lot of the couples this season. Frederico and Ludi are a pair I didn’t know I wanted till it happened. Olga and Ramallo actually got a kiss!!! I loved hearing Ramallo talk about how Olga is the only woman in his life. So rare to see such emotions from him. Fran and Leon’s friendship was adorable. I loved their moments in Madrid. She was their #1 shipper. I know in the beginning I said there wasn’t a lot of music and performances, but as the season progressed we definitely got a lot of new songs (which I cannot stop singing). I miss my time at the Studio and hope the third season will be streaming on Disney Plus soon. I heard it could be September 18th so fingers crossed!! 

THE INBESTIGATORS

Filling the void that was left by Little Lunch (and produced by the same studio) is the InBESTigators! A show that follows 4 elementary students who live in Australia and solve mysteries. One of the things I really loved about Little Lunch was how serious they made really trivial, kid-like things sound. I have often described it as an Office-like children’s show, where they talk about their problems directly to the camera and give several ‘Jim’ stares and glances to the camera. With the InBESTigators it’s a similar set up where our four sleuths, Ezra, Maudie, Ava and Kyle, relay a mystery they solved directly to us the viewer, while we watch in flashback. All of the mysteries are typical things that could happen in school or home; from overwatering a neighbor’s prize-winning flowers, packages getting stolen, a lost notebook or catching a cheater during a test. All of the kids are entertaining and funny. They each have a different dynamic that brings something to the team. Currently two of the seasons are on Netflix, and there will be a third season (but who knows when it will be filmed-I’m just happy it will eventually happen). 

If you’re looking for a fun/light-hearted watch look no further. You’ll have a good time. 

UNITED WE FALL

This ABC sitcom fits well on the network and like it would be on Friday nights, but has a stronger day in airing thanks to the pandemic. I hadn’t really heard much about the show and then BAM it was advertised. It felt like the network had it in its back pocket. Nevertheless, I am really enjoying it. The actors have a nice dynamic and it is very funny and relatable. I like how it represents a family with two different cultural backgrounds, but doesn’t make that the main focus of the show. Instead it is discussed naturally. Overall, I don’t know how many people know about it, so I wanted to share it as one of my picks for the month and suggest you watch it if you are looking for something both funny and optimistic. 

DOUBLING DOWN WITH THE DERRICOS

I LOVE this family! As TLC is a network with predictable choices in TV shows, one about a family with multiples does not seem shocking. However, this is not your average family with multiples. At the start of the show, Karen and Deon have a total of 11 children (with only two of them being what they called ‘singletons’). They have twins, quints, and another set of twins (that would have been triplets). Her last three pregnancies were multiples and then she becomes pregnant with triplets. AGAIN! This family is considered a miracle because she had no IVF or anything like that for her conceptions. I love watching them because they seem like a great group to be apart of. They are what the epitome of family should be like. There is so much love. I know when my family watches the show we are all so impressed by how well behaved all of the kids are. People with half the amount of kids often have trouble teaching them to behave. I highly suggest giving the Derricos a watch. New episodes are now airing on TLC. 

SOME LAST MINUTE ADDS....

I know Ben Platt’s concert has been available on Netflix for a while now, but I just got the chance to watch it this month. It was SOOO GOOD and I was upset when it was over. It felt so fast! I had already added a lot of his songs to my playlists, and after watching added the last few I had missed. Now I’ve been listening non-stop. I loved how his concert welcomed us so much into his personal life. The added stories in-between songs helped to see why he created that specific one. Watching the concert was a fun time and something you should consider if you are feeling down during quarantine. 

Every Saturday night we try to watch a movie while we eat dinner. It’s become a new tradition since quarantine began and we were unable to go out to eat or to the movies. This week Jojo Rabbit was the pick. Going into the film, I didn’t know much expect, but that it was a comedy and I assumed a satire. What I didn’t expect was how dark of a turn it would take. It’s amazing how a film can have you laughing uncontrollably at the start and then have you crying at the end. This is definitely a film I could see analyzing in a film studies class. There was so much foreshadowing and moments where so much more was going on then what was shown on the surface. I think it did a great job making the viewer think not only about the time in which it was supposed to take place, but also our current world. I know it’s a good movie when it still has me thinking about it days later. I even did some research into it after watching. Definitely can understand the hype about it and will watch it again in the future. 

When I was putting this list together I was just starting to watch Umbrella Academy. I know, I’m late to the party, but with the newest season coming out this summer I knew it was now or never. (I just had to finish some of the other stuff I was watching first.) Currently, I only have 1 episode left in the first season and am really enjoying it. I was pretty good about spoilers going into it, so a lot of it was new to me. I made some theories on who I thought would be the cause of the apocalypse and so far I am right. I am very interested to see how this season ends and get into the next one because I heard that the majority of people liked that one more. I’ll have a more detailed review in my September Picks, I’m sure of it!

Dream Movie

@singledarkshade​ came up with the Dream Movie Challenge, in which we were given six actors from our favorite tv shows/movies, a wildcard actor, and a random item. We then had to incorporate these elements into our own movie/movie franchise. 

I was given:  Dalila Bela (Odd Squad), Joshua Sitch (Little Lunch), Aston Droomer (The Inbestigators), Henry Lewis (The Goes Wrong Show), Pearl Mackie (Doctor Who), Tala Ashe (Legends of Tommorrow), Wild Card - Harrison Ford, Item - Toy Robot

Here is what I came up with!

Follow that Duck!

Synopsis: Amy (Dalila Bela) has lost her duck, Otis, and recruits her friends and neighbors to help her find him. However, after a long winded chase, they track Otis to The Wizard’s (Harrison Ford) manor. And everyone knows that nobody has ever left that place alive.

Otis the Duck

Info on the cast and plot under the break:

Main Cast

Dalila Bela as Amy Lawrence: The girl who lost the duck. Amy didn’t mean for him to wander off. But she looked away for a minute to clean out her spyglass, and when she looked back he was gone. Most likely through the front door that she accidentally left open. Even with her spy gear, she knows that it wouldn’t be an easy job finding Otis so she recruits her friends to help.

Joshua Sitch as Eric Gardner: Julia’s friend. Carrying around a magnifying glass, Eric is always looking for a mystery even when there isn’t one. Luckily, he spotted Otis leaving Amy’s house so Eric knows in which direction they should go.

Aston Droomer as Ian Miller: Julia’s other friend. Ian has a photographic memory which definitely comes in handy when they need to retrace their steps. He can get sidetracked easily though, but a shouted “IAN” will get him back on track (usually).

Tala Ashe as Julia Atashin: Amy’s neighbor. Julia is initially annoyed by the duck chasers and refuses to help them because they are interrupting her cooking show. However, her roommate, Charlie, drags her along, and soon Julia is invested in the chase as well.

Pearl Mackie as Charlie Banks: Amy’s other neighbor and Julia’s roommate.  Charlie has spotted Otis waddling pass. She has looked after Otis before, and she is willing to help the duck chasers find him. After all, a duck chase would give her something to do before her next marathon.

Henry Lewis as James Thorne: The donut shop owner. Amy, Eric, and Ian are some of his regular customers. When the duck chasers tracks Otis the duck to his shop, he offers to help them by driving them around in his donut van. With the occasional stop for a customer of course.

Wild Card - Harrison Ford as The Wizard: The man who lives in the manor on top of the hill. According to legend, he is an all powerful wizard and whatever passes through his gates never returns. Otis the duck has somehow gotten onto his premises. Luckily for the duck chasers, the latter half of the legend isn’t true. The first part though...

Item - Toy Robot- Max the Robot Duck: During their search for Otis, the duck chasers meet Max. Well less “meet” and more “accidentally catch”. But Max is willing to forgive them for their mix-up because he knows where Otis has gone. And yet even Max refuses to step through The Wizard’s gates.

Plot Arc

Shot in a mockumentary style, the movie starts off with Amy introducing the video as a “video blog case because someone [intense off screen stare] wants to keep it in his files.” We later learn that it’s Eric. Throughout the movie, whenever it cuts back to Amy narrating, we see her carrying a bucket of paint, using a rope to scale a wall, and painting the wall.

We see how Amy recruits Ian and Eric, then Julia and Charlie, and finally James to help her find Otis. Then we see some of their comedic and wild shenanigans of catching glimpses of Otis and chasing after him, but they lose sight of him every time.

They finally manage to catch a duck, but it turns out to be Max, a talking robot duck. He knows where Otis went though and leads them to The Wizard’s rundown manor. 

Everyone is scared to go in, but Amy is determined to get Otis back. We notice that Max is extremely reluctant. The group meets The Wizard, who introduces himself as Mr. Purser. He has been looking after Otis.

Mr. Purser notices Max and starts laughing. With a murmured incantation and a wave of his hand, Mr. Purser transforms Max into a human. Apparently, Max is his apprentice. While practicing his spells, he accidentally turned himself into a toy duck robot and couldn’t figure out how to reverse the spell. He was too embarrassed to go back to Mr. Purser’s place and ask for help.

We cut back to Amy who has finished recounting the story. She seems to have finished painting the wall and jumps down from the rope. The camera shifts, and we see Eric, Ian, Charlie, Max, and Otis (yes Otis) painting Mr. Purser’s house. A shout of “Donuts!” is heard. The camera shifts again, and we see James, Julia, and Mr. Purser carrying trays of fresh donuts and other foods to a table. As everyone rushes to the table, Amy turns off the camera.

Unexpected cast: Arthur Darvill as Max the Robot Duck
