What did you watch?

 Hey, thanks for asking!
 WOLF MAN (2025) on the Plex
I’ll cut to the Chase. This is one of the worst movies ever made. It’s
inept at every level. I’m not sure who’s stupider the Director or the
writer. It’s full of big stupid and constantly unfurling rancid onion.
They don’t even know where it was filmed. They claim both New Zealand and
Ireland.
 

I saw this in the theater.  I did warn people about it. I walked out of the theater and was just like, no.  LOL

WICKED (2024).
Well, I watched several hours of this before I realized it’s part one and
several more hours will drop the end of this year. And at that point I
bailed. It’s good looking. Unforgivably for a musical I had to turn on the
subtitles to understand what Ariana Grande is singing. I didn’t have any
problem with the others. I’ve seen a couple different versions of the play

Same.  At it felt like each version was worse than the one I saw before.   Or I was spoiled by seeing it during an early run when they had the flying monkeys climbing around at the start.  I haven't seen that in of the later productions.

and this is only barely recognizable. It’s great looking, and the money is
on screen.
And back to Ariana Grande … In the play, I liked her character. Here she’s
just annoying. I’m certainly not rooting for her to get the boy!
 

This on the other hand I did like.  I was actually surprised by how much I liked it, because I wasn't expecting much out of it.

THE DREW CAREY SHOW.
Turned it on towards midnight and let it run from the beginning; I’ve never
seen the early seasons.
 

I've never seen a single episode.  :-)
