AMERIGEDDON (2016)
If this was a lot better, it might be bad enough to be an asylum film. Evil
terrorists shut down the power grid in the USA. We know this because people
in their lit homes are watching the news broadcast from the completely
electrified studios.

But that's not what it was about at ALL!
Oh, AMERIgeddon...

IRON CHEF
The original series; episodes from season five. I kept flipping away
because they were eating horrible stuff and saying stupid things about it.
Turtle soup made in the turtles own shell (upside down).  Tuna, cooked in
peanut oil and moon salt, which is salt that is only harvested underwater
during the full moon, and as the pretty actress judge tells us, has magical
powers.

And of course, whole octopus.

Was it still alive and kicking?

THE THUNDERMANS
And then there's this which I just heard of for the first time. They're
advertising the snot out of it because they just released a reunion movie
from this 2013 TV series that’s a complete rip off and intended replacement
for The Wizards of Waverly Place.  The parents and especially the father
are indistinguishable from the earlier and vastly superior show. I don't
think I've ever seen anything as aggressively stupid and unfunny. And I've
definitely never heard a worse or more intrusive laugh track. I watched the
original pilot episode and about five minutes of the new movie, which is as
much as I could stand. it has one redeeming feature and that's that the
lead actress is really cute. But not even close to cute enough.

Didn't you watch this when  it first aired? I remember you and Ian commenting
on it.
