Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm (2022)
It's Daria
I've been a fan of ATHF since the beginning and THIS is not aqua teen! It might have the characters but it's like watching Daria. It's drab and hard to focus on with all its pointless nonstop fast pace talking that attempts to sound smart but goes nowhere and most often without a punchline. Every single episode of ATHF had me on the floor laughing no matter how many times I watch it but I got half way thru this movie without a single laugh. I hate to give a review like this but it's attempting to be something it's not. Maybe they're rebranding the franchise or maybe they just forgot what it's all about. I'll watch the original episodes if I want to laugh without having to think.
The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020)
Red Flag(s)
I just found this series on Netflix and made it past the first episode and 10 minutes of the second episode of season one. The first red flag is when they had a meeting to bring in some "physicist" and he laid on the skepticism so thick that it was obvious that he was only there to trick the audience with that whole " I was skeptical but now I am not " act.
The second red flag is when the helicopter pilot started praying which is not only unscientific but bordering on mentally ill.
The third red flag was of course the security guards carrying guns like they're bracing for an active shooter.
The fourth red flag is when the security guard with a serious chip on his shoulder inserted himself into the decision not to dig based on superstitious fears.
The fifth red flag is when they allowed the security guard to attend the meeting as he clearly has no business being there.
The sixth red flag is when the fake video conversation with the owner took place as he obviously takes a visual cue from the security guard not to allow digging. If the owner wanted scientific results he would have allowed digging to take place.
The seventh red flag is when the "physicist" didn't bow out of the operation immediately upon being told he couldn't do what he was brought there to do and dig a simple hole. And that was based on the fears of a security guard who admittedly had no background in science. Everyone seems to take a back seat to this terrified little man who has no business being there to begin with. They clearly wanted this digging of a hole to build up as some type of finale.
The eighth red flag is when they brought out the mystery box and told the "physicist" that he would understand why they can't dig once he sees what's in the box. Of course once they open the box he still has no idea how it pertains to digging.
The ninth red flag is when you realize that there is a neodymium magnet in the box and they have been storing it loosely in a room full of sensitive electronics.
My conclusion is that this show is unwatchable staged garbage with no real science involved. A neodymium magnet does not cause your scalp to separate from the skull as they suggested after hyping up the obviously fake injury a man received after digging a hole on the property. I can go on and on about everything wrong with this show based on what I watched and there were plenty of red flags that I neglected to mention in this review that were equally as obvious but I will end this review here and say ultimately you have to watch this show to believe how bad it is. I would be ashamed and embarrassed to be tied to this production.
