  The Flash 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Jun 2023

  Saw this solo in Houston, TX on opening night. Miller is a mess, but the writing is good enough that it doesn't matter.

  The God Makers 1982

  ★★★ Watched 24 Dec 2013 1

  A half-assed doc that dissects the evils of Mormonism. This one is all over the place.

  Highlights include: dramatizations of mormon's secret temple rituals that make you a God, hand-drawn animation of the history of Mormons (and how they came from other planets), and bad actors pretending to be lawyers discussing mystical/indefensible aspects of Mormonism.

  You'll also learn that a Mormon owns the Marriott hotel chain.

  The Wrong Missy 2020

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 27 Nov 2022 1

  This movie feels like a throwback to SNL character films of the 90s. Spade was in a few of these with Chris Farley, so it’s a formula for that we’re familiar with.

  I might’ve hated this movie, but watching this with family after Thanksgiving was lovely. Watching with family heightens all the awkward scenes into high cringe, which killed everyone.

  It’s not a smart movie, but it’s persistent confidence in Lupkus character works. Her Missy character would have been welcome…
