Something In Review: Treasures From the Wreck of …
Tagged 2020, Movies, Something In ReviewMark your calendars: Livestream For The Cure, May 28th – 31st.
We’re heading out into deep seas this month for a “documentary” with a twist.. also a title so long it doesn’t fit in the title bar.
This journey is one of art, one of curiosity, and it is a divisive piece of cinema. If you don’t know anything about it – we get in there, so you’ve been warned this is a spoiler of an episode, perhaps more than usual.
That said – join PC Rob, Hatton, and Edmund Fitzgerald as we go spelunking deep into the abyss.
Ok, here we go…
Something In Review: Dracula
Tagged 2020, Creature Feature, guests, Horror, Something In Review♫ Creature of the niiiiight….
That’s right – it’s time for the Somethings to deep deep deep dive into the BBC’s newest horror piece, Dracula.
We can’t do it alone – so we got ahold of one of the Something Alums in Megan Salinas (@TheMenguin) – cohost of Silver Screams and No Love Lost
Is this the same powerhouse that was Jekyll? It’s got the same team, as well as longtime Dr. Who showrunner in Stevan Moffat… so why don’t we take a ship across the country and tell you all what Hatton & PCR think.
Ok, here we Count Blah!
In Review: El Camino
Tagged 2020, Something In Review, TVWe gotta go back…
No no no, not to THERE… to the world of Breaking Bad. We weren’t left with many questions at the end of Walt’s journey, but we did have one big one.
…what happened to Jesse?
Not only does El Camino fill that in – but a few gaps we never thought to ask.
Does it compare with baby blue? The Somethings are here to tell you.
In Review: Scrooged
Tagged 2019, Holidays, Movies, Something In ReviewHappy Holidays!
Sure, it’s early, but we’re taking next month off – so we gotta get it in somewhere.
And since everyone is getting themselves all stuff prepared, we decided to hit a a movie that had a strange beginning, but has found its place as a Christmas Traditional for weirdos… it is the scariest Christmas Carol ever put to film – SCROOGED! (I heard an old lady had a heart attack)
So join in the festivities as the Somethings discuss whether this was a well-received holiday tradition (like cranberries in a can) – or the kind of thing you tolerate just because it’s the holidays (like hugging the weird aunt that always smells like cat pee)
It’s time to be visited by three ghosts and two Somethings, so you best change your ways…. Scrooged!
Something In Review: Peanut Butter Solution
Tagged 2019, Movies, Something In ReviewListen, toooo that magic man…
and abracadabra…
There is this movie – this movie that a lot of people saw and nobody remembers it until they are told about it by someone who has been awoken. I’m sure there are a lot of movies that fit this strange Mandela Effect sort of situation, but this one is special…. well, mostly because it is a hallmark movie in Hatton’s life and that of his sister.
So she recommended we review this – what happens when nostalgia meets a complete newbie to strange Canadian Fantasy Drama.
This is the strange and mysterious tale, featuring Celine Dion and Tigh Saul from BSG… it’s the only answer you can solve with hair…

Something In Review – The Great Hack
Tagged 2019, Movies, Something In ReviewHaaaack The Plaaannetttt
Ok, not really. You see, we are getting a lot of stuff for free these days. Need to know the weather? Sure! Want to play a silly little Facebook game? Ok! Want to see a photo of you as a bunny or an older bunny? Why not!?
Truth is – you are paying – we all are… and something as silly as online surveys and photo filters may have much bigger repercussions than you ever thought.
We’re talking the documentary The Great Hack, the story of Cambridge Analytics and how they may have created the political landscape we’re living in…. wow, that was so much more serious than our usual entries.
Don’t worry, we still make the same stupid jokes on Something In Review: The Great Hack
Something In Review – The Invitation
Tagged 2019, Horror, Movies, netflix, Something In ReviewThere are movies that the Somethings agree about… Highlander.
There are movies that the Somethings disagree about… Mars Attacks.
The Invitation definitely fits into one of those categories.
A group of people are invited (get it?) to a dinner party where they haven’t seen each other in quite a long time and have a sordid history. So why are they there? Is it supposed to feel so uncomfortable? Are they getting suckered into buying Amway?
Something In Review – Action Point
Tagged 2019, Movies, New Jersey, Something In ReviewThere is an infamous place in New Jersey, home of the Somethings, that had the nickname of Traction Park.
