Psych: Shawn and Gus Truck Things Up (2014)
'Shawn and Gus Truck Things Up' Serves Up a Hearty Helping of Hilarious Hijinks!
"Shawn and Gus Truck Things Up" is a delightful addition to the Psych series, delivering the same hilarious and quirky humor that fans have come to adore. From the moment Shawn and Gus embark on their latest adventure in their own food truck, the episode promises a wild ride filled with laughs and absurdity.
What makes this episode truly memorable is its ability to embrace the series' signature silliness while also weaving in new and inventive plotlines. The concept of Shawn and Gus running a food truck is both absurd and brilliant, allowing for plenty of comedic moments as they navigate the challenges of the culinary world.
One of the standout scenes occurs when Shawn, in classic form, mocks the health inspector while indulging in their own truck's cuisine, only to hilariously choke on his own words (and food). This scene perfectly encapsulates the blend of wit and physical comedy that Psych excels at, leaving viewers in stitches while showcasing Shawn and Gus's dynamic chemistry.
Additionally, the episode features a touching side story involving Lassiter and Marlowe as they prepare for the birth of their child. Their journey culminates in an unexpected and uproarious birth scene that takes place right in Shawn and Gus's food truck, adding another layer of hilarity to the already chaotic situation.
Overall, "Shawn and Gus Truck Things Up" is a must-watch for any Psych fan craving more of the series' trademark humor and charm. With its clever writing, hilarious antics, and heartwarming moments, this episode delivers everything fans love about the show and more. So hop aboard the Psych food truck and get ready for a wild and deliciously entertaining ride!
The Little Things (2021)
If Not For The Cold Open Scene
I really enjoyed this movie... but that damn cold open scene was so poorly done.
POTENTIAL SPOILERS:
All she had to do was look down at the gas gauge and it be on empty. At least then it would have made sense for her to stop and seek help. Otherwise why stop and leave the safety of her vehicle? That being said, the rest of the movie was great.
The cinematography was gritty but tasteful, the direction was crisp, the music was tense, the acting was all around well done (Rami Malek is becoming a favorite of mine) and the story kept me involved.
Everything was damn near perfect... if it weren't for that damn cold open scene.
P. S. - The ending is what makes this movie. I can always respect a movie that leaves me feeling conflicted (morally speaking).
Vibes: Se7en, Mindhunter, and Nightcrawler.
Archer: Archer Dreamland: No Good Deed (2017)
It's Noir Archer
If you love noir detective stories and Archer humor, then you'll love this whole season. The Archer vs Barry scene really sets up the whole season, and I'm a sucker for that rivalry. Barry is one of the best side/antagonist characters ever IMO. I took one star off because there is a later episode that deserves the precious ten star. Enjoy 😎
The Terror (2018)
This is how to do a book justice!
This is a review for the series premiere:
This is a strong start for a series based on one of my favorite books. The book was great, but it was longer than a Stephen King book and that's saying something, but the series has an efficient feel to it while still staying true to the book. You can tell that there is some true love for the source material and it really shows in every aspect, especially the cast. I love all the casting choices so far, but Adam Nagaitis as Cornelius Hickey is looking to be an amazing choice. His portrayal is spot on thus far and I can't wait to see his character dive further into the rabbit hole.
I'm also impressed with how well they translated the atmosphere from the book to the series so accurately. I just hope the monster is given the same kind of love that every other aspect of the series has been given so far.
Ultimately, if you've read the book, then you should love the series. If you haven't read the book, you just might find yourself wanting to.
