Enter the spider verse is quite good.
On the negative very much one for the fans with little explanation for those who don't have a more than passing knowledge of spiderman.
On the positive.... Awesome animation style. Seems very French to me. And loser Peter Parker with New Girl Nicks voice works so well.
Another slight negative perhaps it's sad there was only 5 universes. And they chose some pretty extreme ones. Had thought there'd be more shown. Also thought 42 cropping up a lot might be explained - is this universe 42? Nah.

Nice soundtrack. Its weird, I head a lot of this sort of cool hip hop in sound tracks but can never come across it in the wild.

Sub commander rates realism of submarine scenes.

Hey, nice little video, the guy's pretty engaging. Love his excitement when he talks about the Soviet subs  :D

I finished Schitt's Creek last weekend. I really enjoyed this show. I grew really fond of the characters, even the ones that I thought I'd hate, like Alexis and Moira. Catherine O'Hara deserves mad props for bringing such an outlandish character to live.

The show is positive, inclusive, the characters well written, and all around it's a feel good experience about a few jerks becoming the best versions of themselves.


I'm now watching Community. Closing in on the end onf season 1, but already liking it a lot. :)

The last third of S1 through the first 2/3rds of S3 might be the best 2 season run of any show.  I don't think there are any bad episodes, and even the sub-par ones are excellent.

I hope where you are watching it hasn't removed the D&D episode.

Thanks for the heads up - I'm watching on Netflix, and unfortunately that episode is removed. Fortunately there's always options  :pirate

No sitcom can possibly claim that.

Fun, but his ratings were pretty much totally random.  U-571 scene  he says is totally wrong: 6/10.  Crimson Tide scene whose only real inaccuracy is that the CO is kinda going insane as part of the plot:  4/10.  I have no idea why he downrated the Act of Valor scene that was actually filmed on a sub and which he even said "that's how you'd do it."  I think he was just throwing out numbers without thinking about it, which is okay so long as one isn't betting on these things.

I get the feeling he was rating the entire movie rather than the scene, at times.

Admiral Yi

I paid more attention to his explanations than to his ratings.

You are wise.  His commentary is fun.

Watching these "(x) expert rates (x) movies" thing can be addictive.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RkhZgRNC1k on space movies is fun, and gives a nice insight on how astronauts feel about their job.
