I’mma Gonna Recommend Strip Law on Netflix
All these years later, after starting this blog, I don’t do much original writing on this thing anymore. I still keep it going because I like reviewing comics — to an extent — but I also just like keeping my own personal corner of the internet where I can write and post whatever I want. For example, on this Monday, I’mma gonna recommend the cartoon Strip Law on Netflix. Here’s a trailer.
So I like watching these weird, mostly one-off adult animated shows on Netflix. Obviously, Netflix Animation has some great shows, like BoJack Horseman or Arcane. But they also seem to be funding these weird little smaller shows. Like Chicago Party Aunt, Hoops, Exploding Kittens, Centaurworld, Haunted Hotel; and those are just some that I’ve watched! I’m sure I’ve barely scratched the surface.
If you’re like me, then I definitely recommend Strip Law. It’s that weird sort of absurd that I absolutely love. It’s about a straight-laced lawyer learning to let his freak flag fly as he practices law on the Las Vegas Strip, with the focus on insanity over actual legal drama. And then they dial up the insanity when coming up with B and C plots for the supporting characters. It’s a funny, easily binged show that I highly recommend. And I’m not being paid to make this post.
I wish Netflix would pay me to write about their shows…
And I need to figure out how to pitch a Gamer Girl & Vixen irreverent, raunchy, adult cartoon to Netflix…

Sesame Street Does Benoit Blanc
There won’t be any comic book reviews this weekend or next. I read some comics this week, but didn’t really have anything worthwhile to say about them. And next week I’ll be on an extended Christmas vacation! Which stinks, because some major comics come out next week. Oh well! I’ll catch up the week after.
Instead of all that, I’m gonna share this Sesame Street homage to Benoit Blanc and the Knives Out movies.
Heh, his name is “Beignet”, that’s awesome. Anyway, I enjoy when Sesame Street does such things. And I enjoy Benoit Blanc mysteries to begin with. Which also serves as a reminder that Wake Up Dead Man is available to watch on Netflix right now! Go watch it, if you haven’t seen it yet.
Good times all around.

I Very Much Enjoy the First Half of the New Stranger Things
I really liked the first half of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. I’ve always been a big fan of the show, and I’m very eager to see how it all ends. The action, characters, surprises and pay-offs were quite excellent. So here’s hoping the second half and finale are just as good!
How about a trailer for all of it? Don’t watch if you haven’t seen the first half, yet.
Nothing too specific or revealing, which is nice, and the promise of a couple great team-ups and scenes, which is great. Everything a trailer and a teaser should be.
The second half of the Stranger Things final season arrives on Christmas Eve or Day, and I’ll be out of town, so who knows when I’ll get to see. Then the finale on New Year’s. I’m debating whether or not to see it in theaters just for the event of it all…though I don’t know if it’ll even be playing locally. We’ll see!

Check Your Theaters for Wake Up Dead Man!
The next mystery film in the Knives Out series will come to select theaters next week, so check your selection theaters to see if you’re one of them! I was able to see Glass Onion in the theater and that was a hoot, so I’m going to keep my eyes very peeled and my fingers crossed for Wake Up Dead Man.
Until then, here’s a new trailer.
Looks good to me! Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig have made an excellent series of mystery movies, and I can’t wait to see the newest one! So here’s hoping at least one of my local theaters has the film. Otherwise, I’ll have to wait for the Netflix release, which won’t be terrible, but won’t be nearly as much fun.
Wake Up Dead Man comes to select theaters on Wednesday, Nov. 26, and then will be on Netflix on Dec. 12.

I’m Confident the Final Season of Stranger Things Will Deliver
We got a new trailer yesterday for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things, many years after the last season came out. People will complain about that, but not me. I’ve grown accustomed to having years pass between prestige TV seasons. It just is what it is, and one hopes they can simply stay alive to see the next season.
Anyway, here’s Stranger Things.
Looks great! It’s the final season, so they’re clearly just going for broke with all the monsters and super powers and this and that and huzzah! It doesn’t bother me in the slightest that the actors are old now. People age. It’s called suspension of disbelief. Come up with better jokes. I can’t wait to watch!
The final season will start on Thanksgiving, get a second part on Christmas and then have the finale on New Year’s Eve.
