Fair enough, but I feel like that Evelyn's in more or less the same boat.

Oh God! Natural light!

I'm pretty sure Evelyn was a more well-done twist villain than what we're used to.

Meet The Robinsons had a semi-twist villain with Doris, too.

Apologies for the double post, but Doug has updated: Do the Bartman.

First for this show: he reviews an animated music video!

That would be an interesting new hook. Maybe a series where tries to analyze music videos that don't really correlate with the actual song (The video to Pat Benatar's cover of Shadows of the Night being an example)

If I had a nickel for every film where Emma Stone falls off a balcony... I'd only have two nickels, but weird that there's two of them.

Imagine Dragons' Radioactive would also be a pretty good example. You expect the song to be a badass fight scene but instead you get underground teddy bear death matches.

Sounds more like something Todd would review.

Not sure if Doug would take on music videos in general (maybe in a form of a countdown of the best nostalgic ones), since from what I gather, he doesn't really have that much interest in music as such, save for movie soundtracks and, interestingly, opera (with Mozart and Wagner being his favorites).

It's not so much he's even reviewing a music anyway since he's pretty much just reviewing, I'd argue, a Simpsons "episode" that just happens to feel like a music video.

Also yeah that takes me back. That really takes me back. Had a bunch of Bart-related things as a kid. Also not sure if those were bootleg shirts but I don't remember him saying "Cowabunga" a lot.

[up][up][up] I think the only instance of him saying "Cowabunga" was in Bart Gets An F. As for the song, it's fun,but "Look At All Those Idiots" from the same album was the best song on the album IMO:

I think he said it a few times in early seasons, but the phrase started leading a life of its own outside of the show.

Its a bit like how you hear all those memes about Kirk sleeping with every alien he meets and such, and then you watch the actual show and its not really like that at all.

Just saw Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. Anyone besides me think the actress with the glasses (forgot her name) looked a bit like Tamara? I wonder if Doug will pick up on that should he decide to do a review on this film.

[up] Apparently he said in his Sibling Rivalry on the movie he was going to review it when it got released on Blu-Ray. (I only watched a little bit of the video but here's Doug's opinion: He thinks it's the worst Jurassic Park movie to date.)

I'd rank them like this:

Jurassic Park > Jurassic World > Jurassic Park III > Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom > The Lost World

It sucks? Well, that's unfortunate, but I'm not surprised, since the guy who made that also made Book of Henry, the most jumbled piece of garbage I've ever seen (and definitely something he should review).

I thought Fallen Kingdom was pretty good to be honest, although if I had to have one legitimate gripe, I am a little tired of seeing the type of "evil billionaires who want to profit off the dinosaurs" villains.
