John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch (2019)
Vanity Project? Labor of Love?
This movie is so stupid you have to be smart to get it.
It helps if you had to watch 9,000 hours of kids programming at some point in your life, but that's not a prerequisite.
It's kind of like a one-man Christopher Guest film and kind of like True Stories from the 80's except totally different.
So, a great film for a (small?) self-selecting audience. A dumpster fire for everyone else. (But you know what? Screw everyone else.)
But, even I have to say... that last part, the Mr. Magic part?... yeah, that's just lame.

Watch if You Like Rom-Coms... but...
My wife knows that if she falls under a bus, Emma Thompson will be next in line of succession if I have anything to say about it. And she is cool with that. Emma Thompson is my hero, my favorite person that I have never met.
So, when my wife said there's this new movie that Emma produced, directed, and performed in, I thought we should watch that.
I am really glad Emma did so well with it.
Even though I am a steely-eyed missile man, it seems I get all misty when I watch a really good romantic comedy (just about all the Meg Ryan ones, also especially Nothing Hill, and Love Actually for sure).
But anyway... this is not that exactly.
If you like those, you will like this.
But this is not that.
It's something Emma made for us.

A Mighty Wind + A Star is Born
Super silly, super sweet.
Made me me misty.
Damn, Pierce Brosnan is a really good looking guy. I am not gay or bi, but it was kind of distracting how good looking he is.
Oddball (2015)
A Great Story
Such a great (true) story. I kinda wish they hadn't made it as a kids' movie. They should have hauled Morgan Freeman out of his mansion and made him do it in the vein of March of the Penguins. But, I guess kids need movies too. Maybe.
An excellent kids' movie that can also serve as a feel-good movie for grown ups in troubling times.
