Kevin Hart: Zero Fucks Given (Netflix) - Kevin Hart's latest stand-up comedy special recorded live literally in his very own living room with a socially distanced crowd. Hart always delivers and even with being able to literally perform to football fields full of people, he adapts to a much smaller audience without losing a beat. Hart touches on The Vid (Covid), Hanging out at Seinfeld's house, and his brief boxing career. Very solid special especially since these have been very infrequent because of The Vid. Hart proves why he's legit one of the best in the business.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reunion (HBO Max) - While I always enjoyed The Fresh Prince, I wouldn't say I'm the biggest fan but I definitely spent a fair amount of time watching reruns of it back in the day. This was actually a really nice and heartwarming reunion. Without spoiling things too much, we get a better understanding of probably the most controversial part of the show, when they fired and replaced the original Aunt Viv, which was very nice that it was addressed and made more transparent after basically 30 years of misunderstanding. Normally, I think reunion specials are kind of tacky and unnecessary but I think they actually pulled out a good one here.
A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote (HBO Max) - About a month late on watching this but only because we literally started The West Wing in September and wanted to at least get to "Hartsfield's Landing" which is the iconic episode of the The West Wing that they recreate on stage in this episode. This episode takes place the night before the election when President Bartlet is running for his second term. Between acts the cast and other political and celebrities discuss the importance of voting. I'm sure this will play better with viewers who have watched The West Wing, this might provide to be an unexpectedly fun experience for those who haven't and might encourage you to watch the show, which you really should.
Lego Star Wars Holiday Special (Disney+) - It's Life Day in the Star Wars kingdom and Rey is helping Finn with his jedi training. On her quest to being a better jedi trainer, she takes a trip all throughout the Star Wars series linking characters all throughout the 9 movies. This is a lot of fun as you get to see interactions with a lot of Star Wars characters that haven't met including a great interaction with Kylo Ren and his grandpa Darth Vader. If you're a Star Wars fan and love things like The Lego Movie, this is definitely worth checking out.
Death of Me (Blu-Ray and Digital including BRENTFLIX+) - Maggie Q stars in this psychological thriller where she goes on a vacation with her husband, played by the forgotten Hemsworth, Luke and the trip goes terribly wrong after they watch a video where he kills her. While this movie very much delves into that terrain of vacation gone wrong and the locals go from being very kind to very crazy, it definitely had a lot of wtf? is going on moments and kept me entertained.
The Princess Switch: Switched Again (Netflix) - What can I say about a movie that stars 3 Vanessa Hudgens including an evil one who tries to take the spot of the soon to be Queen of Montenero so she can steal money so she doesn't go broke? This movie is all of the cheesy and campy goodness you would expect.
