Bad Ben: Benign (2021)
Worst Bad Ben "movie"
Like others, I have seen all of the Bad Ben movies, and I think some of them are great considering the context in which they're made (The Way In, The Haunted Highway). Some less so (Pandemic, Crescent Moon Clown).
Bad Ben: Benign, however, is painfully bad, and considering it's the 9th in the series, there's no slack to give it. I'm not sure why Nigel made this one considering there's no story or new ideas, except for the very end of the movie, perhaps to set up the next movie. But it's not enough of a justification for an entire movie of improvised monotony. It expects way too much good will on behalf of the fans.
Better Call Saul: Fun and Games (2022)
Best Episode of the Series so far
I agree with what others have said, past episodes deserve 10/10s, but also have shocking action and character fates that get automatic 10/10s. But this episode outdoes them. To avoid spoilers, this episode might have the best "type-of-scene" near the end of the episode in television history. To me, this is Better Call Saul's "Ozymandias" even though it's not a tense thrill ride. It doesn't have to be. It's just excellent.
