I fell asleep watching this movie. Two times (falling asleep, not watching the movie). Admittedly, I had only gotten 1 hour of sleep and I was watching this on a plane but still. Hard to follow, but overall, I enjoyed this experience. First off, the aesthetic was so thoroughly Wes Anderson (I say this as someone who’s only seen 1 Wes Anderson film, that being Asteroid City). The in-play aesthetic had the right amount of “manufactured” to be a set for a play. And although the “real life” background of the playwright was boring, I enjoyed its aesthetic as well, especially the juxtaposition with the in-play look. I thought the movie was really funny too. HATED the augie and midge scenes (they are uninteresting!!!) but the school kids/space cadets were hilarious. Overall, the movie was pretty and funny at times. Call me unsophisticated, but that was all I needed on my flight and this hit the spot.

Cobra Kai was ok. A friend recommended it, and at first, the episodes were funny, epic, eventful, and exciting: everything you'd want in a TV series, but the writing quickly took a turn for the worse, or in more descriptive words, DETERIORATED, as the show progressed. The characters got really annoying and the plot lines were absurd. In fact, it brought back bad memories of watching Riverdale in my youthful pre-teen days. The amount of making out and STUFF I didn't sign up for when humbly looking for some karate thrills (is that too much to ask for?) had me convinced that I was watching an extra steamy episode of Too Hot to Handle. Seriously, if I wanted to watch people perform some non-covid friendly maneuvers every two minutes, I would've just binged some Gossip Girl. The bottom line - if you are not a die-hard karate kid fan, this ain't it chief.
