Late Night Lycett (2023)
Absolute drivel and self indulgent rubbish.
Anyone claiming this is the 'new TFI Friday' or 'Big Breakfast' clearly wasn't around in the 90s. What we have here is an hour of self indulgent laugh free crass that deserves to be confined to televisual history. Lycett surrounds himself with a bunch of oddball sycophantic nobodies and indulges in his own weak puerile sense of humour for an hour long snooze fest. I long for the days of TFI Friday which at least was original and edgy in a good way given its timeslot. What Lycett's been handed is a late night licence to explore his self infatuated persona and inflict it on an unsuspecting generation with nothing better to compare it to. Give it a miss, you're won't regret it.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
Why did why make the same film again?
So here's the usual bit : I am a child of the eighties, grew up with Ghostbusters as part of my cultural landscape; know the original two films of by heart and have been yearning for a worthy sequel for the last 31 years. I downloaded GB A from Amazon the minute it became available, as I wasn't able to see it on the big screen upon release. What a wasted opportunity it turned out to be.
I can fully understand the necessity to provide a bit of fan service after the car crash that was GB 2016, but this film was bordering on embarrassing tickboxes, placed here and there purely to satisfy the ubiquitous manchild fanboy whom'll whoop and holler at the mere suggestion of anything from the original movies, regardless of the meaning or plot context as to why it's there in the first place. By the time the helldog transformations appeared, I was ready to laugh thinking this must be a parody.
