Next, she watched Magic Mike's Last Dance (Theatres), she found it to have fun dancing scenes, but to be boring any other time. Lastly, she watched Nekromantik (Shudder).

Next, he watched Blankman (Prime), a silly black superhero comedy from the 90’s that he thought it still held up. Next, he watched Surrogates (Hulu), a sci fi film he thought had a great premise and some great ideas, but failed to be a good movie. Next, he watched Hercules (Prime), a dumb action film starring the Rock. He thought it was decent and it played on the ideas that myths are built from realities. Next, he watched Physical 100 (Netflix), a reality contest show based on physically demanding tasks. He thought it was poorly edited, and wished it was more about the contests themselves. Finally for Joe Bob Corner, Berto watched The Hills Have Eyes (Shudder), he thought the film was ok, but found nothing special about it.

Berto on the Bed: Berto watched The Woman King (Netflix), which he enjoyed, but also thought it had some things he felt were tacked on for no reason. Next, he watched Maid of Honor (Netflix), which was a crazy rom com that he enjoyed due to the sheer lack of awareness for how terrible of a person the protagonist is. Next, he watched Red Eye (HBO), which he thought was a good tense thriller, until it becomes an action film at the end. Next, he watched The Number 23 (Tubi), a thriller starring Jim Carey with an insane story that makes no sense. Next, he watched The Editor (Tubi), a comedy made in the style of a giallo film. Berto really liked it and felt that it was a comedy made specifically for him. Finally, he watched A Christmas Horror Story (Shudder), an anthology film with 4 stories.
