Adam Ray Live
My husband had bought tickets for Adam Ray’s tour stop in Philadelphia last year but the show got pushed back to March. “Dr. Phil” started getting big on Kill Tony, and he was doing YouTube videos with the character as well, that it seemed like the Dr. Phil Live show Adam was touring replaced our show date. We held onto our tickets because we were interested in seeing Adam Ray as himself after watching him kill so many times as “Dr. Phil”. We saw his show last weekend where he performed at the Punch Line Philly comedy club for just one out of six sold-out shows that weekend at the club.
Shane Gillis Stars in “Tires”
The coolest thing about Tires, the Netflix comedy series set in the workplace, is that one of its creators wasn’t supposed to get this opportunity. Shane Gillis’ popularity is just undeniable.
Gen V: Superheroes Becoming Humans
To appreciate the spin-off show, Gen V, you have to watch The Boys, Amazon’s original show, which has aired three seasons since 2019 and is based on a comic book series. I only started watching The Boys last year because when my husband first told me about the show years ago, I wasn’t interested in something called The Boys. I just didn’t think it was for me or that I would like it. I’m glad I gave it a chance, though, because I fell in love with the premise: What about the innocent casualties of the superheros’ powers?
You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah: “Dear God, Stacy Friedman here. And what the hell?”
You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah is a Netflix film from Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison Productions based on the 2005 young adult novel of the same name by Fiona Rosenbloom. It’s directed by Sammi Cohen and stars Adam Sandler and his two daughters, Sunny Sandler, who plays the protagonist, 13-year-old Stacy Friedman, and Sadie Sandler, who plays Stacy’s older sister, Ronnie. Before you say Nepo Baby, they really do a great job and are so natural on camera—I guess that happens when you grow up on movie sets.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: How Mutant Mayhem Humanizes the Turtles
We saw the 2014 remake, where the Turtles were re-imagined as these monstrous-sized figures instead of the stealth ninjas they are. That’s why I really loved that the new movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem opened with the Turtles moving through the city of New York like ninjas as they swiped items they needed underground; they were in and out of the scene like a deadbeat dad. When it was announced Seth Rogen was behind a new Turtles, my husband was ecstatic. We love Seth Rogen’s comedies, so we knew this new iteration would be in good hands.
