Woman in Motion (2019)
RIP A Legend
Ok so forget race and gender, the two things everyone points out this documentary is mostly about. Nichelle Nichols was, to quote Neil deGrasse Tyson, "a force of nature." And this documentary shows that. She was Uhura to the core. And never once did she let herself or anyone else forget that. But she also reminded everyone that Uhura was Nichelle Nichols.
Her impact on NASA can not be understated, to the point where I think she actually did more for NASA than the show she's most well known for.
Nichelle Nichols will be absolutely missed. Rest In Peace.

Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo! (2020)
For Better or Worse, but Neither of the Two
Ok, so not the worst movie. Probably the worst Scooby Doo movie out there, but at least it's still watchable. The guest stars and side characters have more likability than the main cast, sans Velma who absolutely dominates, to the point where the movie is almost about her. Bill Nye was an absolute treat, as wasn't Elvira, both of which are extremely likable and quirky in their own ways here. Shaggy and Scooby get dummed down a bit, but at least they're still funny. It's Daphne and Fred who really get nerfed, with the former being absolutely unacceptable (Fred was already a bit to late to be saved.)
The villain is good, with a rather good twist and is still scary enough to keep you on the edge of your seat. Although there are some references in there that one would swear are just to prop up the movie.
Overall, watchable, with this really being Velma's time to shine, but don't count it as a must watch.
