    ’20/20: In the Cold Dark Night’ Airs Friday, July 17 (9:01 – 11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC
    ABC News’ “20/20” and Lone Wolf Studios filmmakers present a two-hour broadcast, “20/20: In the Cold Dark Night,” on the story of Timothy Coggins’ murder. Coggins, a young black man, was brutally murdered in 1983 in a small Georgia town due, in part, to his relationship with a white woman. When both state and local authorities stopped investigating and the Coggins family received threats to remain quiet, the case went cold for nearly 35 years. In 2017, the Spalding County Sheriff’s Office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation reopened the cold case and eventually charged Frankie Gebhardt and William Moore Sr. with Coggins’ murder, despite having no new DNA evidence to prompt the reopening. The filmmakers embedded in Spalding County, Georgia, as these surprising new developments unfolded. They gained unprecedented access to the sheriff’s department, including evidence and a diary written in the 1980s by a local police officer who infiltrated the KKK, discovering the KKK claimed to have members who worked in the local police departments; exclusive footage from inside the courtroom during the case, which captured Gebhardt’s murder conviction and when Moore pleaded guilty to manslaughter; and interviews with the families of Coggins, Moore and Gebhardt. “20/20: In the Cold Dark Night” also takes a close look at the community and its culture, including deep-rooted racism which impacted Coggins’ case and that several interviewed say still exists today, the dynamic between those in positions of power and the black community, the role of law enforcement and the journey for justice. “20/20: In the Cold Dark Night” airs Friday, July 17 (9:01 – 11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

    Primetime TV Review: “Japan Sinks!”

    TV Review!




    The Muto family with disaster around them in "Japan Sinks!" on Netflix

    “Japan Sinks! 2020” on Netflix Review by Suzanne 7/9/20

    This is an animated series, based on a book from the early 70’s about an earthquake and tsunami in Japan. They made a movie out of it, too. That explains the terrible title, I suppose (it’s the name of the book, too). The artwork is so good, and the story so interesting, that sometimes you might forget that you’re not watching a live-action show.

    The action centers on the Muto family, who are in different parts of Tokyo when the first earthquake hits. The dad is working at a construction site. The mom is flying home on an airplane. The daughter is at a track meet in a stadium. The little brother is playing video games at home. There is another, worse tremor, and then all find each other, but they have to deal with more tragedy and disaster.

    This is not a series for children. There is blood, violence, and death. For the rest of us, it’s a really good action/family drama. It’s very different from American disaster movies and books. Usually, they start with a lot of different characters, before the disaster, and then we see who survives and who doesn’t. That’s the same formula used in “The Poseidon Adventure,” “Airport,” “The Towering Inferno,” and all the rest. It’s nice to see that someone has made a disaster epic without adhering to the same formula. Check it out because it’s worth watching.

    Was It Love? cast

    “Was It Love?” on Netflix Review by Suzanne 7/9/20

    This is a fun little Korean romantic comedy about a woman, Noh Ae Jung (Ji-Hyo Song) trying to be successful and provide for her daughter. Along the way, she finds that she has more suitors than she can deal with. Ji-Hyo is very funny. She really made me laugh.

    Although the series is light and fun, it also addresses an important social issue in South Korea. Single moms there are treated horribly by everyone and feel great shame. I didn’t know this, myself, until I looked it up. In the show, Noh is defiant about how she’s raised her daughter, No Ha-Nee (Um Chae-Young) alone, but she’s treated rudely by some people because of it.  Thankfully, she does have her mom to help her out (even if she does sometimes smack her on the head).

    In one scene, her teenage daughter gets in trouble for fighting a bully. When she arrives to the school, the parents of the bully demand to speak to the girl’s father. Apparently, they have a big problem there with gender inequality, too. When Noh speaks up to tell them that she is both mother and father to her daughter, the bully’s dad tells her that she must be stricter with her daughter, so that people won’t know that her bad behavior comes from not having a father. Ouch!

    Most of the show, though, is about how Noh tries to become a film producer and keeps running into guys she knew growing up. Then she suddenly has four different men interested in her, after being single for a very long time. It’s worth checking out if you don’t mind reading subtitles!

    MORE INFORMATION:

    This is from Wikipedia: Was It Love? (Korean: 우리, 사랑했을까; RR: Uri, Saranghaesseulkka; lit.

It premiered on JTBC on July 8, 2020 and is available for streaming worldwide on Netflix.

    Noh Ae-jung (Song Ji-hyo) is a single mother with a strong survival instinct who has been single for 14 years. All of a sudden, four men who appeal to her in different ways appear in her life. Oh Dae-oh (Son Ho-jun) is a bad but attractive man, Ryu Jin (Song Jong-ho) is pathetic but handsome and rich, Goo Pa-do (Kim Min-joon) is scary and sexy, and Oh Yeon-woo (Koo Ja-sung) is a flirty younger man.

    refugees i n "Stateless"

    “Stateless” on Netflix Review by Suzanne 7/9/20

    This is an Australian show, developed by Cate Blanchett, who plays a small role as the wife of a cult leader (she sings!). The drama follows a family of immigrants from Afghanistan (Fayssal Bazzi plays the father, Ameer), who are tricked by greedy con artists. To say that terrible things happen to this poor family is an understatement.

    By contrast, a beautiful flight attendant, Sophie (Yvonne Strahovski) gets involved with a cult (one where they dance a lot). She’s got some serious mental problems, which are made worse by the cult and its leader (Dominic West). She ends up swimming out to sea and gets tagged as an immigrant. In her delusions, she tells them that she’s German, so they put her in the same immigration detention center as the others. The show really tells us about the plight of immigrants, especially in Australia in the early part of this century.

    These people are all brought together in an Australian immigration detention center in the desert, along with some others. It’s a compelling drama, and the acting is top notch. It’s based on a true story.  There are only 6 episodes to this miniseries, so check it out.

    MORE INFORMATION:

    Poster for the show Ju-on Origins

    “Ju-on Origins” on Netflix Review by Suzanne 7/9/20

    This is a horror show about a house that is haunted and affects the people who visit it. There are many different characters, so it’s sometimes hard to remember who’s who. There’s a writer who’s investigating the paranormal, and a young woman who kept hearing things in her apartment. It turns out that her boyfriend is haunted from visiting the house. He keeps seeing the ghost of this young woman, holding her dead baby. A young girl, who had some sort of scandal at her previous school, starts at a new school. Two girls and a guy convince her to go to the haunted house, to see the stray cats living there, but they have something darker in mind.

    The show starts out a little slow, but it gets better, and scarier. The ending of the first episode is shocking. This is probably too scary for me to keep watching, but you may like it.  Plus, it’s only 6 episodes!

    Primetime TV Review: “Amar Y Vivir”

    TV Review!




    Amar Y Vivir poster

    “Amar Y Vivir” on Netflix Review by Suzanne 7/9/20

    This is an entertaining telenovela from Colombia. It follows two main families: the Hererra family, who lives out on a farm; and the Romero family, that lives in the city (Bogotá). It is in Spanish, so you’ll have to read the subtitles if you’re not fluent. It’s worth it, though.  Netflix translates the title to “All For Love,” but it actually translates to “Love and Live.”  They even sing a song about it.

    The incredibly handsome soldier, Joaquín, comes home from military service to help his mother, and sister Alba, on their farm. He’s not too happy to learn that their powerful neighbors have been taking part of their land and harassing his family. Their neighbors (the villains of the show) burn down their house, kill his mother, and kidnap his sister. He frees his sister, but the villains beat him up and throw him into the river to drown. He survives but learns that his sister was put on a bus to the city by helpful neighbors.We recommend buying your favorite at super low prices with free shipping, https://www.swisswatch.is/product-category/rolex/gmt-master/ and you can also pick up your order at the store on the same day.

    The Romero family’s daughter, Irene, wants to be a famous singer. Her family owns a fruit stall in a market. Her friend takes videos of Irene singing and posts them to YouTube. Irene is also concerned because her father (who also plays in her backup band) is an alcoholic and gets involved with the local mob (he owes them money).

    Joaquín and Irene meet in a coffee shop when Joaquin goes to Bogotá, looking for his sister, Alba. He doesn’t know that she’s become a stripper/prostitute. The love story of Joaquín and Irene is the big romance of the show.

    If you like good drama, with some action, music and romance, you should watch this.

    Quiz on AMC - The Ingrams and Tarrant

    “Quiz” on AMC Review by Suzanne 7/9/20

    I apologize for the lateness of this review, but you can still watch this On Demand, on the AMC website or on Amazon Prime.

    This is an excellent 4- part series, based on a play, of the true story of a British family, Charles and Diana Ingram, and her brother, Adrian, that kept trying to win on “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?” Matthew Macfadyen (“Ripper Street”), who’s always excellent, plays Charles, the Army Major. Sian Clifford plays his wife, Diana. Trystan Gravelle plays her “loser” brother. Michael Sheen, who is also a fabulous actor (whom I love in “Prodigal Son”), plays the host of the game show, Chris Tarrant.

    The first part shows what happened from the point of view of the TV studio. We see how they come up with the idea for the show, and how it becomes successful. Then it looks like the family, and their friends, are cheating. In the second part of the series, we see it from the family’s point of view. They contend that they didn’t cheat. They just practiced a lot for the show and then won. However, since it’s based on real events, it doesn’t have the best ending.  It seems to me that these folks got a raw deals.  See what you think!

    MORE INFORMATION:

    AMC Announces New Premiere Date for Miniseries Quiz

    AMC announced today that the premiere date for its three-part drama series Quiz will be Sunday, May 31 at 10/9c. The second and third episodes will air on Sunday, June 7 and Sunday, June 14 at 9/8c, respectively. The full series will also be available to binge on AMC Premiere beginning Sunday, May 31 at 10/9c.

    A three-part drama directed by the globally renowned Stephen Frears (A Very English Scandal, Florence Foster Jenkins, Philomena, The Queen) and written by playwright James Graham (Brexit: An Uncivil War, Ink, This House, Labour of Love), Quiz tells the extraordinary and sensational story of how Charles and Diana Ingram attempted an ‘audacious heist’ on the quiz show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? 

    Major Ingram (Matthew Macfadyen), his wife Diana (Sian Clifford) and an accomplice, Tecwen Whittock (Michael Jibson), who was sitting in the audience, were accused of cheating their way to a million pounds on what was the most popular game show on earth in 2001. The couple stood trial for conspiring by coughing during the recording to signify the correct answers to the multiple-choice questions posed to the Major by host, Chris Tarrant (Michael Sheen).

    “Trackers” on Cinemax Review by Suzanne 7/8/20

    This is an action drama with too many characters. I had trouble following it… a little bit. There are three main groups of people. The PBI (Presidential Bureau of Investigation) is trying to find out all they can about some terrorists that are planning something. Their main hero is Quinn (Thapelo Mokoena), who likes to ignore his superior’s orders. Meanwhile, they’re told that they’re going to be disbanded soon. A former PBI detective, Lemmer (James Gracie), who doesn’t say much, takes a job helping someone, in a shady deal. A woman gets a job at what looks like a magazine but it’s secretly some kind of spy place. I’m guessing that they’ll all intersect at some point. I think Lemmer and Quinn are probably the real main stars of the show, but it’s hard to say at first.

    What’s confusing to me is that sometimes they speak in English, and sometimes in Afrikaans, and sometimes in other languages. The closed-captioning sometimes just says “speaking Arabic” and that covers up the subtitles that tell me what they’re saying. That’s highly annoying. That’s the fault of Cinemax, though, not the show itself.  Also, the name “trackers” doesn’t make much sense as a title.

    If you like action shows, this has a lot of action. It reminds me a little of “24.”

    MORE INFORMATION:

    McCallum on Acorn and Ovation

    “McCallum” on Ovation Review by Suzanne 7/8/20

    This is a British TV series from the 1990’s, but it’s very good. It’s new to us here in the US, as far as I know. You can also watch it on Acorn TV if you don’t have Ovation.

    Scottish actor John Hannah plays a motorcycle-riding forensic pathologist who works in the morgue at St. Patrick’s Hospital in London. In the first episode, he gets involved with a co-worker who ends up dead. He’s married but separated from his wife. Still, she’s not too happy to learn that he had a one-night stand with this other woman. From what I can tell, he has relationships with other women in the series as well.

    The police are not so friendly or great in this series. They seem to be crude and ill-tempered, and they don’t treat McCallum very well.

    The series lasted for two years, which is a shame because it’s kind of a cool show.

    Crossing Swords' Patrick

    “Crossing Swords” on HULU Review by Suzanne 7/8/20

    This is a pretty funny show. It uses stop-motion animation, similar to “Robot Chicken” on the Cartoon Network (it’s created by the same people). The show is about a young man named Patrick who yearns to leave his horrible family and be a squire to the king. Along the way, he finds that things in the Kingdom are not what he’d dreamed.

    The series uses both slapstick comedy and wordplay in its humor. It’s not as gross as some of the animated shows I’ve seen today. The characters are peg people, similar to Legos. It’s not a kids’ show, though, because it does have sex, violence and nudity.

    MORE INFORMATION:

Even worse, Patrick’s valor made him the black sheep in his family, and now his criminal siblings have returned to make his life hell. War, murder, full frontal nudity—who knew brightly colored peg people led such exciting lives?

    The Woods on Netflix

    “The Woods” on Netflix Review by Suzanne 7/7/20

    This is an interesting Polish murder mystery. Much of it is seen in flashback. Something happened  to some teens in the past at a summer camp. We see pieces of it, and one of them is a Warsaw prosecutor in the present. A body is found, and he’s questioned because the man has his contact information in his pocket. This person is one that disappeared that summer, along with his sister. He’s never been able to get over her disappearance, so this body showing up may lead him to find her.

    It’s not too slow, like some dramas I’ve seen lately from foreign countries. It does a good job of showing you the characters and circumstances. It does reel you in. It has beautiful locations and lots of interesting flashbacks. What more could you ask for in a murder mystery?

    NETFLIX ANNOUNCES POLISH ORIGINAL SERIES – “THE WOODS”

    Sometimes, it’s best to leave things alone because you never know what you might find…

    Amsterdam, September 12, 2019 – 2020 will see the premiere of the next Polish original series from Netflix! Production of The Woods, an adaptation of Harlan Coben’s bestselling thriller of the same name, has already begun.

    The six-part mystery series is directed by Leszek Dawid (You are God) and Bartosz Konopka (Rabbit a la Berlin) and was written by Agata Malesińska and Wojtek Miłoszewski. ATM Grupa is in charge of production. Anna Nagler (The Coldest Game) joined the show as a creative producer, whilst Andrzej Muszyński and Harlan Coben serving as the series’ executive producers. The Woods is another collaboration between Harlan Coben and Netflix, adding to upcoming British series The Stranger and Spanish series El Inocente.

    Set in two time spans: 1994 and 2019 The Woods tells the story of a Warsaw prosecutor, Paweł Kopiński, who is still grieving the loss of his sister from twenty five years ago – the night she walked into the woods at a summer camp and was never seen again. But now, the discovery of a homicide victim – a boy who vanished along with Paweł’s sister – reveals evidence that links him to her disappearance. As hope rises that his sister could still be alive, dangerous secrets from his family’s past threaten to tear apart everything that Paweł has been trying to hold together.

    “I’m so proud to be teaming up with this incredible cast and crew from Poland – and helping introduce their brilliant work to Netflix’s global audience” – said producer and writer, Harlan Coben.

    Leszek Dawid, director: “The Woods is a story full of secrets – a story you will want to follow. Try as hard as you might to bury unresolved issues from the past, but one day they will find their way back to you anyway. What I find fascinating is the way the film deals with the idea of a carefree adolescence. Looking back at the time in your life when you lived your most beautiful but, at the same time, your most atrocious experiences. Learning the truth. You cannot go any further without doing that.”

    Bartosz Konopka, director said that for him, Paweł Kopiński is an extraordinary character. “I would like to be as strong as him. He has been through a lot in his life – has lost loved ones and has been abandoned and betrayed – but despite this, he still manages to stay standing and keep on fighting; he has faith in other people and refuses to give up hope in them. If he can win over his own demons, acknowledge his mistakes, confront the past, seek the truth, find peace and forgive himself, then I believe I can do that too. This is the most encouraging aspect of this story.”

    Michael Azzolino, Director of International Originals, Netflix said: “We are excited to announce that our second original series for Poland will be an adaptation of Harlan Coben’s dual timeline mystery The Woods. ATM Grupa has assembled a top notch team of producers, writers and directors who have created a faithful adaptation of the book while adding local nuance and specificity of character to complete a gripping tale of innocence lost and the power of redemption.”

    Project financially supported by the Polish Film Institute.

    Primetime TV Review: “Love, Victor”

    Love, Victor on HULU

    “Love, Victor” on HULU Review by Suzanne 7/7/20

    This is the series sequel to the movie, “Love, Simon” (2018). That movie was directed by Greg Berlanti, who has created most of the shows on The CW. I hadn’t seen the movie, so I watched that first. It was pretty good. In the movie, Simon Spier (Nick Robinson) is a closeted gay high school boy at Creekwood High. It was based on a novel, “Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.”

    This new series follows a different gay high school boy, Victor (Michael Cimino) – one who is Latino and has a very religious family. Both the movie and show take place at a high school, Creekwood High, in Atlanta (not a real school). However, there are no Southern accents to speak of. That’s what happens when you cast people in L.A., I guess.  Like Simon, Victor is very handsome.

    Ana Ortiz (“Ugly Betty,” “Devious Maids”) plays Victor’s clueless mom. Anthony Turpel (“Bold and the Beautiful“) plays his dorky friend that lives in the same building. Victor tries to figure out if he’s really gay or not. He has feelings for a girl, Mia (Rachel Hilson), but also lusts after Benji (George Sear), who is openly gay.

    It’s a fun little teen drama. I think it’s slightly more realistic in the TV show than in the movie. I don’t know why any gay teen would be closeted nowadays, unless their parents are super religious – especially in a big city like Atlanta. The movie didn’t quite ring true to me for that reason, but the show does seem true.  Not only does Victor have to worry about his conservative parents, but he’s the new guy in school, which is always tough.  Check it out. Teens should love it.

    Victor and Mia in Love, Victor on Hulu

    MORE INFORMATION:

    School’s back in session, so get ready for all the feels with the official trailer for Hulu’s upcoming YA dramedy series Love, Victor, set in the world of the 2018 groundbreaking film LOVE, SIMON. The series will premiere with all 10 episodes (binge) on June 19th, only on Hulu.

    Trailer: https://youtu.be/uh-IaEaEdE0

    Synopsis: Set in the world of the 2018 groundbreaking film LOVE, SIMON which was inspired by Becky Albertalli’s acclaimed novel, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, the series follows Victor, a new student at Creekwood High School on his own journey of self-discovery, facing challenges at home, adjusting to a new city and exploring his sexual orientation. When it all seems too much, he reaches out to Simon to help him navigate the ups and downs of high school.

    The series stars Michael Cimino (ANABELLE COMES HOME), Ana Ortiz (“Whiskey Cavalier,” “Ugly Betty”), James Martinez (“One Day at a Time”), Isabella Ferreira (“Orange is the New Black”),  Mateo Fernandez, Rachel Naomi Hilson (“This Is Us”), Bebe Wood (“The Real O’Neal’s”, “The New Normal”), George Sear (“Will”, “Into the Badlands”), Anthony Turpel (“The Bold and the Beautiful”) and Mason Gooding (BOOKSMART).

    The film’s original writers Isaac Aptaker (“This Is Us“) and Elizabeth Berger (“This Is Us“) serve as executive producers alongside Brian Tanen (GRAND HOTEL), Jason Ensler (“The Passage”), Isaac Klausner (THE HATE U GIVE), Marty Bowen (FIRST MAN), Adam Fishbach (“Narcos”), Wyck Godfrey (“I, Robot”), Pouya Shahbazian (DIVERGENT) and Adam Londy. 20th Century Fox Television serves as the studio.

    Perry Mason on HBO

    “Perry Mason” on HBO Review by Suzanne 7/6/20

    So far I’m liking this new series. It’s based in part on the Perry Mason novels from the 1930’s, rather than the old TV show. This Perry Mason is a disheveled private eye in Los Angeles. They do a good job of making everything look like it’s from that period. I suspect that we’ll see, eventually, how Perry goes from this scruffy war vet to the dapper lawyer that we know in the TV series….just like other prequel series, such as “Gotham” and “Smallville.”Perry Mason and Della Street

    In the first episode, Perry is following and taking photos of a rotund film star (similar to Fatty Arbuckle), to see if he’s staying true to the morals clause in his Hollywood contract. He has some rough dealings with the studio when he hands in the photos of the man, having sex with one of their up-and-coming starlets (and asks for more money). Meanwhile, Perry is helping his lawyer friend E.B. Jonathan (the always-terrific John Lithgow) by investigating the kidnapping and murder of a baby. Police corruption is an important part of the show.

    While I enjoy the show, I wish they hadn’t told us in the first episode who the murderer was. That’s one of the best things about the original Perry Mason and most other old cop and detective shows. We learned whodunnit at the same time as the heroes. Seeing the “spoilers,” as it were, really did spoil it for me. I’m sure there are other, bigger mysteries, but that was disappointing.

    Tatiana Maslany (“Orphan Black”) plays a preacher woman. We also get to meet Della Street (Juliet Rylance) and Paul Drake (Chris Chalk). Check it out and see if you like it.

    The Sommerdahl Murders"

    “The Sommerdahl Murders” on Acorn Review by Suzanne 7/6/20

    This is a Danish police show, set in the seaside town of Elsinore, but it also involves relationships between the police and their families. Based on a series of books, the main characters are Dan (Peter Mygind), a police detective; and his wife Marianne (Laura Drasbaek), a forensic pathologist, who work together and celebrate 25 years of marriage. Dan is your typical TV cop who works long hours and puts everything into his job, neglecting his marriage and family. Dan’s partner is Flemming Torp (Andre Babikian), another detective. A woman’s body is found washed up on the shore, so the detectives try to find out who she is and who murdered her. They discover she gave birth, so they try to find the baby. Marianne and Dan’s anniversary dinner is pre-empted by the investigation in the first episode.

    Up until this point, I was pretty bored. It moves very slowly. Towards the end of the episode, though, things picked up quite a lot as Marianne meets an old school friend, which inadvertently (in a somewhat contrived way) gets her dragged into the murder mystery. Quite a few shocking things happen. It might be worth tuning in to the rest. There’s only 8 episodes. The writing is pretty good, and the characters are more like real people than what you normally find in a police drama.

    If you want a more detailed review, go here, but it does have spoilers.

    Primetime TV Review: “BNA: Brand New Animal”

    Posted on by TvMegasite Admin

    "BNA: Brand New Animal"

    “BNA: Brand New Animal” on Netflix Review by Suzanne 7/6/20

    I wasn’t sure if I would like this series, but I got hooked pretty quickly. The animated show takes place in a world where beastmen (humanoids with animal characteristics) are treated like second-class citizens by humans. The series is from Japan but made for Netflix. The heroine is a girl named Michiru, who escapes the regular world to go to a land called Anima City, where beastmen can live and not be bothered by humans. She looks like a raccoon girl, but she’s something called a tanuki, which is a kind of dog that looks like a racoon. Tanuki are featured in Japanese legends and folklore.

    As we get to know Michiru on her journey, we learn that she has special powers that she uses when scared, cornered or in danger. When she gets to Anima City, she finds out that nothing she thought about the place is right. The beastmen live in their human form most of the time. Michiru, however, is unable to return to her human form. Also, she was a human teen and then suddenly turned into a beastman, whereas the other beastmen were born as beastmen. She meets up with a superhero called Silver Wolf, whose real name is Shirou Ogami. They form a friendship as they try to figure out what happened to Michiru, as well as fight crime and corruption in Anima City.

    We learn that Michiru had a friend back in school who also turned into a beastman and was carted away. My guess is that both girls are the “Brand New Animal” hinted at in the title.  Perhaps Shirou is, too, since they all seem to have superpowers.

    The show has a lot of interesting characters. I watch Netflix shows with the closed-captioning on. The problem with that is the CC dialogue can be very different from the dubbed dialogue. What I found very odd, though, is that, on the one hand, Michiru is very childish. She doesn’t act like a teen. She acts more like a child or pre-teen. Many times in the series, it is very loud, exaggerated and has bright colors, like many children’s shows I’ve seen. However, the show is also very violent. Shirou kills criminals in a very violent way. Remember that these are animals. In one scene, he rips off the villainous antelope or deer beastman’s antlers, and then stabs another beast with it. In a fight with a rhino beastman, he tears off its horn. Even though it’s animated, it was horrible. There is also a series of violent baseball games, where some of the beastmen fight to the death. I think it’s strange to have a show that seems very childish in many ways, yet it’s also very violent. The story is good, and it has some adult themes (no sex or anything), but it’s a strange mix. I would not recommend this to anyone under 18.

    I have some friends who watch a lot of anime, and apparently, Japanese youth are more used to violence in their pop culture than our kids are, so I guess that explains it. I’ve seen a little anime before, but it never had this odd mixture of “kid’s show” and “violent action show.” If you’re an adult, it’s worth watching. The mystery of Michiru’s background and how it affects both the beastmen and the humans is intriguing. Also, I can’t wait to see whether they’re going to keep Michiru and Shirou as friends (almost like brother and sister) or develop it into something more.

    MORE INFORMATION:

    Morphed into a raccoon beastman, Michiru seeks refuge, and answers, with the aid of wolf beastman Shirou inside the special zone of Anima-City.

    Warrior Nun

    “Warrior Nun” on Netflix Review by Suzanne 7/6/20

    This series is based on a comic book, “Warrior Nun Areala.” The heroine in that is Sister Shannon. In the TV series, they kill off Sister Shannon, and she’s replaced by a young quadraplegic girl. The nuns battle some demons, but they manage to put Sister Shannon’s halo (which is some sort of powerful device in her back that gives her superpowers) into the body of Ava Silva (Alba Baptista), who died recently. The halo revives her, and she has to not only fight off the demons but then rejoice in the fact that she’s alive and has full control of her body.

    After that, Ava finds some other young people to hang out with, not knowing that this ancient order of nuns (and a priest) is looking for her. There’s a lot of action and special effects. There are many characters, but not so many that you have a hard time figuring out who’s who. It’s a good, fun superhero show. I enjoyed it and will probably watch the rest.

    MORE INFORMATION:

    NEW SERIES WARRIOR NUN

    Inspired by the Manga novels, Warrior Nun revolves around a 19 year-old woman who wakes up in a morgue with a new lease on life and a divine artifact embedded in her back.

    Primetime TV Review: “The Baby-Sitters Club”

    Posted on by Eva Diaz

    “The Baby-Sitters Club” Review by Eva 7/5/2020


    The Baby-Sitters Club PosterThe Baby-Sitters Club,  based on the book series by Ann M Martin, has been made into a series now streaming on Netflix.

    For those (like me) who have never read the books, they center around a group of best friends who start a babysitting business. The show has been updated for 2020, with nods to the past — like the fact that the girls use a landline to get their babysitting job calls.  The phone is a white princess push button phone that they bought on Etsy.  The girls also want to use social media to advertise their business, but they can’t because they are not thirteen and are unable get an account.  The girls decide to use an old-fashioned form of advertising: they print fliers and hand them out in their neighborhoods.

    I really enjoyed this show; it is very well-written and smart.  The girls speak like junior high girls and don’t sound too grown-up or younger than their age.  I originally watched this show because I thought my six-year-old niece might like it, but I think this show is more appropriate for kids ten years old and up… not because it has anything bad in it, but because older kids will be able to understand it better.  I think this show is great for families to watch together.  Parents will enjoy it, and so will the kids.  I think it is the perfect show for families to binge-watch together because it is a positive, happy, funny show.  I give this show 5 stars.

    TV Interview!




    John Savage Emmy picture

    Interview with John Savage of “SEAL Team” on Lifetime by Suzanne 7/1/20

    This was quite a fun interview.  John is being considered for an Emmy nomination for his recurring role as  Emmet Quinn (Sonny’s father) on SEALTeam.  He is quite a character and very interesting to chat with. He’s had a long and amazing career that started in “The Deer Hunter” with Robert DeNiro and Meryl Streep.  He went on to many great movies, such as “Hair,” “The Onion Field,” “Godfather III,” “Do the Right Thing” and a lot more, including many TV roles. My favorite was his role in “Dark Angel” as Lydecker.  I hope he gets the nomination and wins!  We had an amusing chat.

    Here is the audio version of it.

    John: I’m glad I reached you.

    Suzanne: Yes.

    John: I’m kind of excited about coming to be able to just express my feelings. What an honor it is being considered for an Emmy, as a guest [performer].

    Suzanne: Yeah, that is awesome. That is wonderful.

    John: Yes.  The show has meant a lot to me. They are one of the things I have kept looking for was just to see some contact with their home life. When somebody goes back man or a woman he has officers back to Camp. There are leaders and experience back at this camp in the middle of, I forget, Pakistan. I have got a lot of my friends have been sitting service in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Vietnam and second world war. Some of them are up there in age and get they have gotten that supply for years. They have been acting with others in recovery for veteran activity and also in their community and Korean War. Let us not forget the Invisible War.

    Suzanne: That is right.

    John: A lot of people and that is what this show has done. It has got people, it has put people in the service, home.

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: And I just see the interplay on this camp between a team that has been around, the middle of these people have not hit the age of 30, yet. And they have been there for ten to fifteen years or at least in the back of duty-

    Suzanne: Okay.

    John: And you see their interplay with newcomers, like my son and I show, AJ Buckley here was shiny coin and understand that every coin. He gets ticked off where … some new guy starts laughing at the situation like, “You guys. Hey. How you been you little one out. Do not worry about it. You got to be always some smack”. You know, you are talking down to me because you cannot predict the future. You have got to stay prepared. I mean, somebody comes along and offers a back rub or another way for him to make a lot of money by doing his old trade. It is going to be a tough decision for him, you know, and human beings have a lot of trouble in a lot of our lives just being. And the difficulties we are facing in our country today. Demand what this team shows, is working together, working through the differences

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: When somebody comes back from active duty away from the team and away from camp and it has been difficult. Maybe he lost his partner, a sniper, what is these issues even with others and he wants to stay by himself and sit in the corner is he has got a team around them. I got to shake it up either I shake him up, they are going to talk to him, they are going to hold him, they are going to let him stick his swing at them, you know, they are going to move through this because they can not isolate, they have got to keep working together.

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: And the people around them understand that, you know, the people who have been in act of duty, the going through the issue of dealing with outside directions coming in and like, and the feeling like, I had as a little tiny boy about my dad’s experience in recovery and you know, he went through losing a squad as a tough six-footed gunner in the Marine Corps in the court Guadalcanal and anything wrong with guys he did not know who  … one service in Europe and at that point, my life, it was his young men to all of being at home to me, the next four or five years old. Dealing with recovery after service in North Korea, you know, I know women who had dealt with the first world war as children and this excitement of success. They were going to the two extremes. The government was absolutely helping, these people are broke, they were broke for a long time. My family, the community still we are living. If you could, If you could have get somebody find a kid. My dad’s life is a number of all moments who had a basketball, you know, if the key was not to share it you still think, you know, you play, you play with that ball,

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: And you are going to places where people like to play. Baby, they were different color, baby you argue, baby you fought over a rough play, Maybe you do it, but you played basketball. My dad was a freaky with like six feet tall at one thirteen or fourteen. But you know, I see a lot of more-

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: -kids on a street corner hanging out at one kid who is sixty, sixty-five and he is thirteen, fourteen years old.

    Suzanne: Yes,

    John: My dad commemorated here walking into when we finally got to have a house and live it. Which was government-

    Suzanne: Sure.

    John: -Do not make it sound a major cooperative, corporation getting a tax break.

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: And he had GI bill, so even though no work was available and he, but he would get up and see to the people in the community, men who serve them. He physically brought me to visiting the kind restaurant. It has only two tables in that place. I only thought decorations but it was a man who served in American forces and he was Italian and had family in Italy and I learned all this as I was growing up.

    Suzanne: Okay.

    John: You know, he introduced himself to manhood, served and they were willing to talk and share their experiences and these guys would get in the corner, usually in town, at our house went high. With the leather cut, Blacksmith Road, and I could not figure out what they would never hear any dialogue. You know, what are you talking about? They’ll kind of crunch together but they were supporting each other.

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: With a drink in their hand, you know, drinking was the thing, they were quiet and usually peaceful, strong men. Unless, they were dreaming nightmares at night like my dad. And again, you know, Rhythm women respect him, but they would not want to usually went to college. And that whole idea of opening schools up to men who lived close to Adelphi University or that gratitude and my daddy got the plan of basketball team.

    Suzanne: Yes.

    John: To do not fly-.

    Suzanne: That is great.

    John: We could all of the basketball games in Adelphi. As he grew up, he got a car, you know, there’s a GI Bill, you made it clear.

    Suzanne: Wow.

    John: You know, you can brag about new brand new Studebaker, you know, that car was four hundred dollars, you know,

    Suzanne: Oh, you will not back down. Yes.

    John: That car is four hundred dollars and they see my mama told me years later while that house we bought in Levittown with the help of the GI bill was five thousand dollars. And it might have even been less but those houses were tiny little boxes, right? No songs and my generation from Pete Seeger and other brilliant, not now, I am listening more to those songs on the radio.

    Suzanne: Yes.

    John: Called the Graham Station, you know, wow! these guys still some of them are still around. I know women and the songs are beautiful like they were then and you know, the idea that we look at those places that were you know, as a kid, I loved it for me, it was heaven. But can I start hearing, you know, the criticism of these areas, you know, too close together. Looking there now and I know those trees that grew that we planted, covering the houses. You can not see the houses for the amount of growth that –

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: There is few and I have not been there a long time but I was. Twenty, thirty years ago, I went through to go to the hospital I was born in, better Brooke hospital, to just do some kind of a meeting with others in my programs and oh my God, it is still a shame that hospital. Guys are not  …

    Suzanne: Yes.

    John: Guys have been more maybe ten bucks. Wanted to, you know, rejuvenating something on new machine, you know, but it is still the same and for me. I remember eating being born here, you know, for some storage, my mom told me.

    Suzanne: All right.

    John: An isolation, isolated because I had, you know, weak lungs. I was very premature. My twin died, sister.  … Tough. Name is John when he would be paid but then the issue having polio in there.

    Suzanne: Oh right.

    John: That came around the fifties, I was weak. Everybody have one look like a fool. But I was paralyzed. What is it had the flu my buddies all my age had the flu. No, it was not a flu.

    Suzanne: Yes.

    John: I did not even make they called it the flu at that time. I remember the words right, but I ended up being paralyzed and I could not breathe. And my joy, I found happiness because I had to. Being stuck in that iron lung. I could read-

    Suzanne: Does today, sir, does today’s pandemic remind you a bit of that time? Yes.

    John: Deeply, deeply, deeply, fear is a false evidence appearing real. We have fear in many things today. Where is the reality?

    Suzzane: Yes.

    John: How we adapt, how do we accept certain things? How do we accept the danger of others or of children being in communities or rooms or other areas that they may not even get sick, but they do and they do, they do get very sick. I mean, I have family members who are in COVID hospitals-

    Suzanne: Really?

    John: -to working as nurses or service. They are there holding the hands of dying people. They have been with other activities and these children that are sick. The courage because they have no energy-

    Suzanne: Sure.

    John: -but I feel like I am burning up from the inside out. I barely can get those words out-

    Suzanne: Yes,

    John: -that night they died.

    Suzanne: Well, let us hope they get the vaccine like they did with polio.

    John: Well, with the fathers of a lot of my buddy who got polio, one man was a psychiatrist, a wonderful man is helping me and my mom with the therapy because I was a premature kid and had issues with things and physically, mostly. But the, he had crippled and he had to wear the braces on his legs.

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: What will it sound, doc [?]. Well he has not called me or you will be all right, you had a different form of childhood polio you will get to, you will be okay. I didn’t, I didn’t, I didn’t really believe that-

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: -and then you know, within a year or two, he died, sort of the other father. What is this disease? We do not know.

    Suzanne: Yes.

    John: You can not tell me there is no more different diseases out there waiting, you know-

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: -we are living in a changing world. We are so gifted for so many things in this country. How do we help people in India? How do we help people in Africa? How do we do this? How do we do that? Well, if you can not go there go to a different community here.

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: Pick some friends. Do not try to do things by yourself, but catch some friends that think to say, well, I want buddies do not think the same way as me. All right, even women are going to sell out, “Zip it, John.”, you know, with the idea, we get together because these other ways to go. These wrecks, they put this area to this movie about this experience and what their lives were for years after service in Iraq and Iran, in or in Vietnam. It has brings us to now what they went through. It would be government relationship with friends, with family, with community, and it’s uplifting it, moving it, heartbreaking because the courage is there. The beauty of this effort among each other and these guys have the political opinion. We do not discuss whatever.

    Suzanne: That is good.

    John: You know, because I can get off the track. Really. Why do not we maybe do this and they have those little podcast, like I share with them and they get out of it about people’s activities and maybe this was a good well that was appropriate why could not have done this. Why do not we go help those people that cut their shocks, destroyed. Let us see what we can do. This guys can not, most of them don’t have that much money. Or tools I am actually help to move again refining the last four measures. But when I see this show, feel pain, I see what they are doing now.

    Suzanne: Yes.

    John: I see their activity after coming home, after we united, after dealing with each other’s issues, whatever they might be, actions, emotional, physical. Let us get things going, now. Let us look at it, now. What can we do now and a lot of that reactionary stuff, you know, it is going on internationally.

    Suzanne: Sure.

    John: Let us get groups together that actually, you know, fight all those people of different color or kill those people from that country. That is whatever, communism. Do this, do that. Give me a break. You know, give me a break. What can we do?

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: We can do what we are doing, taking one step at a time.

    Suzanne: So, had you watched your team before you were on the show. I mean, did you watch them regularly as a fan?

    John: Yes, as best as I could. We have had issues, my girlfriend and I. I wanted that too much, not between us but just these area of a place burned down.

    Suzanne: Oh no. Oh no, no. Let me have the fires.

    John: How we have to keep hiding places, work, etcetera, issue with that and I have been blessed, you know, with this show.

    Suzanne: That is good.

    John: And feel things for me. It made me feel like, If I die tomorrow it is worth it. You know-

    Suzanne: Right.

    John. -I mean what I have been doing.

    Suzanne: Well, you have had a long great career anyway, but yes, this is a great capper on that, regardless, right?

    John: Are you trying to tell me I’m getting old-

    Suzanne: No, no. No. I was just reading through all the movies and things you have been on are so many.

    John: We have to talk more sometimes. All right.

    Suzanne: Okay.

    John: I admire your position in this activity.

    Suzanne: Well, thank you.

    John: Journalism.

    Suzanne: Yes.

    John: Journallism. It is for me, it is a part of journalism

    Suzanne: It is. Yes.

    John: It is gorgeous. It is great.

    Suzanne: Well, thank you.

    John: My grandson who is mix race, South American. He is twenty six years old, who is very young, he has written for three of the major papers.

    Suzanne: Wow.

    John: He is an athlete. He is a great, fun-loving guy, most of the time. He was on the Boston Globe in northeastern, a great school.

    Suzanne: He is doing better than me.

    John: Huh?

    Suzanne: He is doing better than me.

    John: He is gonna look up to you. He has got to. You know, and now, and then he, now he is to the Wall Street Journal. He was always interested in the community with other buddies.

    Suzanne: That is great.

    John: They are still up together, still till now, some issues they face is part of what our world is having to deal with today about unity of people who came here from Muslim countries.

    Suzanne: Yes.

    John: Oh my God.

    Suzanne: They go through a lot here. Yes.

    John: And again, I mean, it is difficult for, are they going to be against the forest with me or against me, you know, and it is hard. It is hard for them. It is hard for us, languages different people have different dressing could be different and there was one kid in the family who was late and only behind and came over Lake from Uzbekistan in their original chechnya background forced out by Russian. They did not have any more food in those countries. After that fall wall, the Iron Curtain, I mean. They kind of, the connection to Moscow fell apart.

    Suzanne: Oh, Yes.

    John: And the area and effort for trying to work more maybe with connection to the Western World. Well, ninety-nine percent of those people, had no way to make connection to Western World.

    Suzanne: Sure.

    John: Christian Jewish and other Muslim groups coming into those areas to help with service. They bring a little food, a little medicine, a little and you know what difference that makes to their survival, you know, I have stories with people who were kidnapped. In Afghanistan I can not, and men and women and the people kidnapped and more young voice, but they were part of the Taliban.

    Suzanne: All right. Yes.

    John: And yet, were not connected at that time with a major leadership. They put the women on cots, they had rifles and they will make him commit for them to make connection with the Americans. Marines. Army. Who will kill them and yet, at the same time they do not want to let go of those weapons. We kept praying that Americans come quickly. And they did, they wanted their family to get more help who had no, I am not man in that area, the roads are destroyed. They need help with food. They need help with medicine.

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: And that is what this crew was there to do for.

    Suzanne: That is good. Yes.

    John: And the people as best they could. Hey, America. All over the world people may be aggravated about it. I got yelled at after a couple years working with young people in South Africa with the development of a new Union and finally one of my friends who was a native of the community there because he is always talking and he stood up and said “Mr. Savage, doing on a South African we going to handle this now.”, you know, and that was it, it was like, okay, I got you. The ups and downs is still going on but we were a team.

    Suzanne: That’s good. So, you do a lot of this. So you do a lot of this outreach and helping communities and that kind of thing?

    John: Well, right now, but I still have the telephone, I still have the Zoom. And my feelings, you know, I am an actor. I’m a dreamer I live with hope, I have to the opposite end of that for me finding a middle is difficult for me, you know, I get very emotional. And you know, I have to take a breath once in a while.

    Suzanne: I understand.

    John: I love a good script. Yeah, God.

    Suzanne: So, can I ask you, do you were in four episodes of sales team, right? And do you know which one you know, which one that they are considering you for an Emmy or is it all for?

    John: Well, I believe it is the last one. It is a gentle scene, over solution. I believe that no. I don’t know. I think they gave me your for to suggest which I thought and I thought it was the gentle one of reconciliation.

    Suzanne: At the great, at the mother’s, at the mother’s grave site you try about that one?
    John: Yes.

    Suzanne: Oh, Okay. And do you know it, sorry, go ahead.

    John: No, I can keep talking with the fact that I did getting attention because of this show. Even with the dialogue with these men and women. I mean the leader of the Seal team, David Boreneaz. That is always important. He is losing his sense of purpose, men died that he is trying to get to do these things. His people, his family, his guys. The commitment and service is really tough, you know. My dad had a bunch of guys from the shop. Crack. Crack Rifleman in the Marines do a much tinier than him, but they are all in their mind. They were they were white. They were very strong appreciations of Southern dialogue, some of it as gentlemen very nice, very beautiful issues of home and only black it will ever become president, the dialogue went away. They want to ignore it, some bad. You kept him okay, but that did not participate in that-

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: But he was the toughest kid in the group and he did not fight with them. You just brought them to the presence. And we are here and if they felt they knew that they were trained for it and believe me when a man gets that is nice someone cut his throat at night. From having called in from the army. I will name it but the you know, nobody knew when they are trained Marines. How did we know? Why is not somebody awake? You know, I do not know what they want to I am imagining that and they were a team they had to. One you people are keeping me alive because I’m keeping you alive. And that’s why we’ are here. That is it.

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: And he lost them and he had dreams about not making it. Not saving the people, he cared about them. But believe me, as soon as he got home his whole idea with my mom was active civil rights duty.

    Suzanne: That is great.

    John: Two wars. They wanted depression, have all gone through depression. Who does he go to find the best basketball players? So, you know tell me about it and the idea that when we got older and people were dating different races, but one who continue to have us her relationship and some of those women who came to help us at the house with my mom or she put you in there in her shop, these women had children. They call me now. They are still alive in North Carolina, have a shop, which my mom, they thank my mom for helping him put that together. They are working with church groups for kids and they have lost their houses in a second flood. Yeah, you know today that I can not tell you. it is just when you see these stories on TV it brings stuff back.

    Suzanne: Yes.

    John: Suddenly, here are in their life. She said say to me, I do not know. I do not know which goes to, they from different races and they are married. What are those children going to deal, how they got to deal with this. How are those children? She was scared. Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea. You know, what are those kids are eight more? All right. How are you dealing with us?

    Suzanne: Yes. it’s always something huh.

    John: Maybe it is better.

    Suzanne: There is always something to do with her. Right?

    John: Yes. Really. It is again. I don’t know what how do work and it’s come up a few times in my profession and other areas of mental health, the areas of narcissism. It is not like an accusation if it is like a lot of work. Like mental health, “Get away from me.”, witchcraft. Okay. Yeah. All right. Well, you know why people get together and play games maybe, go for a book club about poker game, sure, whatever. Why? because we need each other.

    Suzanne: Yes, it is tough. It is tough right now. It is tough right now because so many people are isolated and they cannot get together.

    John: There are many more, there is a list of the people have not committed suicide for military service. My last couple months is very high in the air force.

    Suzanne: Yes.

    John: Why? Pick a number. Mental health, frustration, no money, no job, whatever.

    Suzanne: Yes. It is got to be probably pretty high in Hmong civilians right now to in the last few months people not used to being unsociable.

    John: I think it is one of the coolest coolest places we have lived so far and it has got, it is an apartment building but we have got this much more area here, there is more space, more spacious and it is cheaper.

    Suzanne: Good.

    John: It has got a swimming pool.

    Suzanne: Oh, that is nice.

    John: People who are giving space.

    Suzanne: That is good.

    John: A lot of the apartments. They have to move out because they can not sleep at night and their ritual of screaming at each other all night long. Oh, God. Yeah, you know my girlfriend. She is right. What are they going to do to each other. “Maybe we should call the police”. I said “Well, in my experience with police activity when a couple is together like that. They actually love each other and they kill the police officers. I’m trying to help.”, you know, maybe we should just you know, both of us need to take a walk, living in a small place together. Maybe space between each other is helpful.

    Suzanne: Yeah, definitely.

    John: You know older cultures do not shake hands, you know, they do not go and run and hug each other right away. Out of respect, they bow from a distance because in the old days, maybe somebody hold a weapon in the other hand, you know, but that is like New York, so I am familiar with that. This is our chance we have a lot of gratitude is necessary. Thank you.

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: We could be we could have been dead by now. We got another chance. Give us a break.

    Suzanne: For now.

    John: So, I do not know. I love your laugh.

    Suzanne: Thank you. Well, I appreciate it. And I appreciate your making me laugh.

    John: Good, good. Well, this show might have some little rough humor to look at me. Sometimes, the craziness that we do between semi train each other and then the next up it is like a lot with men they need that senior officer, a woman now saying, you guys you two guys say one more word. I will put you both down in a break for a week or two. Whatever. Like I am going to hit the ground for a thousand push-ups. You can not leave till you finish. However, whatever the demand is they have to answer to a higher power.

    Suzanne: Right.

    John: They have to let go of the thinking they may still have emotions. Just gotta walk with it for a while. Let go, you know God blesses. We need, we need help a lot today.

    Suzanne: Yes.

    John: Yes to that. I think you do not mind being liked. Appreciate it.

    Suzanne: Oh, yes. Well, thanks so much for calling me. I really do appreciate, I have watched so many of your movies and things over the years and I am only about 13 years younger than you. So I am not some young reporter in case you did not know I saw I sound yeah.

    John: You know, the youth is there. That means there is something going, you know, sometimes the excited, excited juvenile behavior, right, is appropriate but when you can feel the sense of a heart, that is young and yet the consciousness of wisdom in the background.

    Suzanne: Yeah. That is a good thing.

    John: You have got that. You are a professional.

    Suzanne: Thank you.

    John: You are handling. What I consider, well, it is not a difficult role, but it is.

    Suzanne: It can be.

    John: Work is different.

    Suzanne: Yes.

    John: You know, what is it like when you get home to the failure you the same?

    Suzanne: Well, luckily. Luckily for me I get to work at home. So, that is good.

    John: Now you are here, we are getting to work at home. Okay?

    Suzanne: Yes, I always worked at home.

    John: You live alone?

    Suzanne: No, I have my husband and my dog and, but I get to work at home. So, I have my own website.

    John: How much does a dog help in a relationship?

    Suzanne: It does help. Yes. She is goofy. And she makes us laugh and you can not stay mad.

    John: I could hear every once in a while, you could schedule like a private meeting, either he goes or you go.  … your dog, you know, whatever. Exactly, I had that one bunny rabbit, I would not have gotten it but I blame her, the two of us. We saw this wonderful Latina woman, my girlfriend speaks Spanish and I get to listen to the beautiful language. Maybe, I have learned. but there are words that I forget and the woman had two baby bunnies and her little thing and she is talking to her about. Yes, and I do not know what is going on. But she is there to take two little, one little tiny bunny out and hold it, you know, we are both looking at it both are looking at each other like, you know, no, no, no, no ,no, no, no, no, yes. We bought, we bought it for a few dollars. And now that this little baby girl. Oh God, it is our baby. It is our child. Yeah, let us look into the eyes of the soul. And we know her, she knows us, and understands some of us, she will thump her foot when she hears my loud voice. And she will go under the couch. That is a violence that I watched on TV. Sometimes, same thing. Powder [?] the room and tighten another room.

    Suzanne: Yes. Our last dog did that whenever he heard loud sounds whether it was us arguing or the TV or the thunder, whatever it was. He would go run in the other room.

    John: All right, right, right. Yeah. Find a place, find a safe place quick. Or they want to share in the conversation, and my, little bunny, does have a small voice.

    Suzanne: Really?

    John: If you went to her up there when she is concentrating on something in her cage, and does not want to be bothered and I want a pair of this or move something inside, she will bite it, pull it back and growl like a lion, very straight.

    Suzanne: That is strange.

    John: I did not know that about bunnies.

    Suzanne: I did not either.

    John: Well, we gave that tiny bunny a whole head of lettuce. I gave her a whole head of lettuce, just to sit and see how, she picked it up and threw it, up in the air, this thing was two inches long, and I know you got to be careful, but not you sweetheart, very gentle.

    Suzanne: That’s funny.

    John: I hope I’m not pushing you to follow this.

    Suzanne: What’s that?

    John: I am really appreciating, you know, my chance to talk about my team that I had a time. I think it is great. And your child has called.

    Suzanne: Yes. She barks whenever anyone walks by the house, so it is okay.

    John: Yes. She wants to share in the community.

    Suzanne: She wants to protect them. So yeah. I appreciate it. Go ahead.

    John: It is my pleasure. If you have anything you would like to discuss, please call or contact my email.

    Suzanne: Okay.

    John: I think you have that or not. We have yours.

    Suzanne: Yes.

    John: And my girlfriend has been trying to just make sure that we stay in touch with all the folks that we contact on this.

    Suzanne: Okay.

    John: Wonderful effort.

    Suzanne: Well, thanks.

    John: Because we have nobody else to talk to. God bless and-

    Suzanne: Thank you.

    John: -in your work.

    Suzanne: All right. Thanks. Good luck on your nomination.

    John: I appreciate that a lot. All right, I am praying for everybody in the seal team and the real ones, too. Have a good day.

    Suzanne: Thank you.

    John: You are part of the team.

    Suzanne: All right.

    John: Take care.

    John SavageIt’s rare for an actor the caliber of JOHN SAVAGE, primarily known for exquisite turns in iconic films like Deer Hunter, The Thin Red Line and Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thin  to transition to television for a standout role.  But when it is a recurring role on a top-rated, critically lauded series like Seal Team (CBS, Wednesdays, 9pm). Savage jumped at the opportunity.  And now his portrayal of ‘Emmet Quinn,’ the father of devoted Seal Team character, ‘Sonny Quinn’ (A.J. Buckley), is a leading Emmy contender as Guest Actor in a Drama Series, for Savage’s emotional performance as patriarch of the family legacy and the father-son relationship is put to the test before America’s eyes.

    Savage, whose career was launched in the motion picture, Milos Forman’s Hair, is credited for standout roles in numerous landmark films.  As he assumes the role of stoic and proud patriarch in a multi-arc special guest star appearance, Savage brings a gravitasse to ‘Emmet Quinn’SEAL Team who was raised to love two things: his land and his wife with equal commitment.  “When my on screen’s persona’s wife tragically passed away before her time, I poured my grief for her into the land — to the detriment and disillusionment of our young children,” says John of his Seal Team character.  Now, decades later, Savage’s ‘Emmet’ is forced to confront the push-pull relationship he has had with son, AJ Buckley’s ‘Sonny,’ for so very many years it takes the crisis of literally nearly losing the family farm to discover what truly is important in life. The military top-rated primetime drama that follows the professional and personal lives of the most elite unit of Navy SEALs as they train, plan, and execute the most dangerous, high-stakes missions the country can ask of them stars David Boreanaz, Max Thieriot, Jessica Pare, Neil Brown Jr. and Toni Trucks.

    Savage’s all new episodes aired as Seal Team was wrapping its third season in April and are re-airing all summer on CBS: https://www.cbs.com/shows/seal-team/

    The shows are also available on CBS All Access.

    Savage’s intense focus on the subtleties of this Emmy contending role is something you truly will want to spotlight in an interview that will be one long remembered. High res series stills, background material and selected scenes (from Seal Team as well as his current critically lauded feature, The Last Full Measure with Sebastian Stan, Samuel Jackson, Ed Harris and more) are available upon request. This past week, John was cast in the starring role of the hard-nosed judge presiding over the case in a new feature film, domestic abuse drama Finding Nicole, based on the Chris Cuomo-fronted CNN doc, Inside Evil – Until Death Do Us Part which will be shooting in Michigan later this year.

    Interview with Lyndsy Fonseca of “You Can’t Take My Daughter” on Lifetime by Suzanne 6/30/20

    This was a wonderful interview! Lyndsy is such a great actress. She was so nice on this call, and we had a fun chat. Make sure you watch her movie on Sunday, 6pm July 7! More info below the interview.

    Here is the audio version of it.

    Lyndsy: Hi Suzanne.

    Suzanne: Hi Lindsay. How are you?

    Lyndsy: I’m doing good. How are you?

    Suzanne: Pretty good. Can’t complain.

    Lyndsy: Good.

    Suzanne: So I’ll get right to it because I know you’re running late.

    Lyndsy: Okay. Thank you.

    Suzanne: You’ve been acting professionally since you were 13, correct?

    Lyndsy: That’s right. Yeah.

    Suzanne: And did your parents support you on this pretty much?

    Lyndsy: Oh my gosh. The only reason I was able to do it. We lived in Northern California around Oakland area, and I wanted to do it so badly that they would fly me back and forth for auditions. It was really when I got the three year contract on The Young and The Restless, my parents decided to move for me. They sold their house, quit their jobs, and we all moved to Los Angeles.

    Suzanne: Wow.

    Lyndsy: We started a whole new life here. So they have made all of this possible. Yeah.

    Suzanne: Yeah. That’s quite a commitment.

    Lyndsy: It is. Yes.

    Suzanne: Yeah. I used to watch you as Colleen on Young and The Restless.

    Lyndsy: Oh my gosh.

    Suzanne: Yeah. Yeah. I’ve been watching that show off and on since 1986 when I was in college. So before you were born.

    Lyndsy: And a lot of people are still there. Yeah.

    Suzanne: Some of them, yeah. So what was the best thing about working on that show?

    Lyndsy: Oh gosh. It was like a bootcamp. It was so… It was the only job I ever knew, so I didn’t have anything to compare it to. We were shooting like 30 pages a day. The pace of it was so fast that anything since then has been pretty easy compared to how much lines I have to learn, or the fast paced schedule of television. I think doing a soap opera was a really great training ground.

    Suzanne: Right? Yeah. I’ve heard that. I’ve heard their work even faster now. I don’t know how they do that.

    Lyndsy: I don’t even know how either.

    Suzanne: Do you ever still watch Young and The Restless or keep up with the people that you knew from it?

    Lyndsy: I do talk to Crystal quite a lot. We keep in contact, but gosh, no. I don’t watch the show just because I have a two year old, and I don’t really get to watch much.

    Suzanne: That keeps you busy.

    Lyndsy: Are you there?

    Suzanne: Yeah. I’m here.

    Lyndsy: I’m sorry. You just cut out for a second.

    Suzanne: Oh, sorry. I said that keeps you busy having a two year old.

    Lyndsy: Oh, yes. Yes it does.

    Suzanne: So is it the terrible twos yet? Or just…

    Lyndsy: You know, I get why they say terrible twos for sure. We had… I think right when she turned two, she’s two now and four months and it ebbs and flows. They want more individualism, but they’re not quite ready to do things, and they get frustrated, and it’s just been an amazing learning experience to be a parent. I loved every… Even the challenging moments are fascinating from a psychology point of view. I love diving into a parenting book and figuring it out and understanding it. It’s so fun.

    Suzanne: Okay, great. I saw that you were married to your former Costar, Noah.

    Lyndsy: Yes.

    Suzanne: Yes, he’s great. I love him.

    Lyndsy: I love him too.

    Suzanne: Yes, I know you do. He’s always good too. So I…

    Lyndsy: He’s a great actor and a great father, and a great husband.

    Suzanne: I used to watch your show, so I like that.

    Lyndsy: Oh, good.

    Suzanne: Yeah. Your other show. You’ve been on so many, it’s hard to keep track. So you’ve done so many TV shows and movies since The Younger and The Restless. What made you want to do this particular Lifetime movie?

    Lyndsy: Well, I think mostly because I was impressed that they didn’t shy away from some pretty explicit and difficult things to talk about and to portray. I was impressed how they were telling a true story, and I thought it would be a great honor to play a woman who has been through so much and prevail through. Not only is a great mom and a great person, but she dedicated her life to changing the policies that were not in place to protect her. So I just was really impressed that Lifetime cared about a story like this. Tori, the director, she was so committed to telling this truthfully that I felt like I was in good hands. My experience with Lifetime after doing five films many years ago, was such a great experience as well. So I knew that it would be a good partnership.

    Suzanne: Yeah. I watched it this morning. It was very intense, especially at the beginning, but it was good.

    Lyndsy: Thank you. Yeah, it is intense.

    Suzanne: It’s a little hard to watch in that sense. Yeah. It’s just in the wow. They did that.

    Lyndsy: I know. The great thing is, is that to portray her and to shoot, it was probably only a fraction of what it was like for her to live it. So it was the least… I felt like telling the story was really important.

    Suzanne: Right. Now, it first aired back in February? And have you gotten a lot of feedback about it?

    Lyndsy: Yeah, I have. I think a lot of women who have been through similar situations have responded to it, and I know that Lifetime has had really good, positive feedback about people being aware that this isn’t actually a Countrywide law. Still, there’s a couple of States that don’t protect women from this situation. So I think overall, just politically and getting the word out, it’s been really a great… I think it’s been very important.

    Suzanne: Yeah. I’m sure it must’ve opened a lot of people’s eyes about the laws regarding rape. Did it surprise you when you-

    Lyndsy: Oh, my Gosh, totally surprised me. I couldn’t believe what she’d been through, and the fact that there were so many women that have gone through it and are going through it. It just blew my mind. It just seems like a story I wanted to tell.

    Suzanne: Right. And what was the toughest part about filming the movie for you?

    Lyndsy: I probably just the balance of shooting all day with such heavy material, and making sure I had time to spend with my baby. My real family at home and that balance, but it was only a month shoot, so it was something I knew I needed to fully dive into and commit to because it was going to be important. The thing that was amazing, that surprised me was Analynn, the woman I played, she was so concerned about my emotional wellbeing. She said, “I just I want to make sure that you are okay doing the subject matter.” And I just was in awe of the fact that after everything she’s actually been through, she was worried about me pretending to go through some of this stuff. I was just… It just goes to show what kind of a person and loving human she is.

    Suzanne: And what did you enjoy most about making the film?

    Lyndsy: I really enjoyed working with a female director, especially with the subject matter and the collective. I think just as a crew, the crew knew that this was a story that was real, and the respect that we all needed to have for one another, and have each other’s back. I think when you’re doing something that the story like this people are just there for the greater good. They’re not just fooling around and stuff. So it felt really important. I just really wanted to make her proud, and other women that have been through this, I just wanted them to feel like it was authentic and that they could relate to it.

    Suzanne: And when it came to the physical scenes, did you have a stunt double or was that all you?

    Lyndsy: Yeah. I did have a stunt double, and coming from Nikita and my fighting days. I did all my own fighting on Nikita. It was really not that… It was very easy as far as stunt wise, but because it wasn’t an action show, everybody was like the producers, the director, and the writers, everyone was like, no, no, no Lyndsy, don’t’ do that. I’m like, guys, I can’t do this, I swear. I’ve done plenty of stunt scenes, but they were so worried that I’d hurt myself. So I had to let the [inaudible 00:09:06]. She as great, but it’s just part of… I like to get physically involved in all of it because I just think it helps the other performance aspects of it if it’s all together. But yeah, it was emotionally draining and tricky for those certain things.

    Suzanne: And had you worked with Kirstie Alley before?

    Lyndsy: No, I had not. I had not met her before or worked with her, but she was lovely. She was great. She came in, she’s a ball of energy. She’s funny. She’s spiky. She’s [inaudible 00:09:43]. It was great. I was just telling the story that she was a great breath of fresh air because we were doing some pretty dark, heavy subject matter. And Kirstie, as a person, is always cracking jokes.

    Suzanne: Oh, that’s good.

    Lyndsy: So it was really fun to have her around.

    Suzanne: I’ll bet. Did you know that she got her start on a Star Trek movie?

    Lyndsy: Oh really? No, I didn’t.

    Suzanne: The second Start Trek movie.

    Lyndsy: I watched her on Cheers, and [crosstalk 00:10:12] plenty of her work.

    Suzanne: I don’t remember if this was… Now that I think about it, it might’ve been… My memory is terrible, but it was either her first movie or right before Cheers, I don’t remember which, but it was Star Trek, The Wrath of Kanya. She played a Vulcan. Imagine being that funny, and cracking jokes, and having to keep a straight face as a Vulcan.

    Lyndsy: I’m sure the crew loves it. She is fun.

    Suzanne: That’s good. Now so did you have any… With that comedy in mind, did you have any funny or interesting stories about the filming? I know it was quick.

    Lyndsy: Gosh, I think just being on location in Atlanta was really fun, and the whole cast was incredible. I was just saying that the girl who played my daughter was this incredible prodigy. She was so… I’ve worked with lots of kids, and she was the most normal kid, but loved her performing. She was such a joy to work with, and I was so lucky to be able to play her mom. And yeah, it was just overall… And actually Dimitri, the actor who played the rapist was one of the most kind, loving, generous people. And he made the experience really great because after every taste would be like, “Are you okay?” He was just always checking in on me. And I was just amazed by how well he would be able to play this person, and then how kind good he was real life. He was amazing.

    Suzanne: Oh, that’s nice.

    Lyndsy: Yeah.

    Suzanne: So it’s great that Lifetime is showing the movie again during their 30th Anniversary. Independence Day Marathon. Were you happy to hear about this?

    Lyndsy: Yes, I was so honored that it would be a part of a marathon. Its so great. I’m so glad more people will get to see it while we’re all celebrating all the great films that Lifetime has done.

    Suzanne: Mm-hmm (affirmative). Do you have anything else coming out that was filmed pre COVID-19? If anything?

    Lyndsy: No. I’m actually waiting. I’m about to go shoot a Disney Plus show called Turner and Hooch. So we’re just waiting on all the new side regulations and travel precautions and all the things we have to worry about in today’s time. So I’m just preparing and getting ready for that. Getting our cast rounded out, and I’m really excited and looking forward to it. It’ll be… Hopefully it will start shooting in another month or two.

    Suzanne: Cool. Do you know who your costars are on that? Anybody I’ve heard of?

    Lyndsy: Yeah. Josh Peck. Josh Peck is the lead, I play his sister. We’ve got a few other people that are about to. I don’t want to mention anything that is finalized, so I’ll just leave it with Josh. He’s great. I’m so excited. We worked together on Grandfathered and have known each other since we were a little kids in the acting world. So we’re both parents now and playing brother and sister and it’s like, I’m so excited, and he’s so funny and yeah. There’s going to be lots of slobbery dogs running around the set. It’s going to be fun.

    Suzanne: Good, good. I’ll have to check that out. And so what have you been doing while you’re staying at home?

    Lyndsy: So my husband was shooting in New York, and so as were as a family out there, and then everything shut down. So we have basically been quarantined with his mom on the East coast for like four months, and just living in a small town in Connecticut, and out in country, and just trying to stay out of busy cities. We finally decided we need to come home, and get our dog. I’s just been a tricky transition back into the LA life.

    Suzanne: Wow.

    Lyndsy: Yeah. We’re just trying to navigate. We just been back only a week now, so it’s been tricky with a two year old trying to figure out things to do, and go be with her, and keep her busy. So we’re just trying to stay safe, and use the time to just appreciate one another and be home. We’re lucky to just be able to be home. So that’s what we’re doing.

    Suzanne: You flew on an airplane home?

    Lyndsy: Yes, we did. We survived, and we got tested, and we’re free and clear. So we’re feeling like we got through that hurdle.

    Suzanne: Yeah. I don’t know anyone at anyone flying right now, but yeah, that’s good. It’s pretty… You probably didn’t want to drive country with a two year old.

    Lyndsy: It was definitely not an option. We probably would have, if we didn’t have her, but she was great. The flight was only half full, and she was so good, and everyone wore their masks. We just tried to be healthy as possible. And then luckily it worked.

    Suzanne: That’s good. That’s good.

    Lyndsy: Yeah.

    Suzanne: All right. Well, when you’re talking about being in a small town in Connecticut, it reminded me of one of those cable movies. Christmas movie or something.

    Lyndsy: No, totally. It was, it was like that. And we were just trying to survive this pandemic in our own little bubble and try and get through it. But we had to come back to reality soon enough, get ready for my next show and stuff. So, yeah, but it was great. I’m grateful for the time and it’s just, everyone’s doing the best that they can right now.

    Suzanne: Right. And I’m glad you’re all staying safe and I hope you all get to go back to production soon. I know it’s up in the air still.

    Lyndsy: Yeah. Thank you. I know. Every day we’re just getting more and more information, and it’ll happen.

    Suzanne: Yeah. Well the soap operas are just now starting back to film again. I think everybody… Maybe the other industry is waiting to see what happens with them.

    Lyndsy: Yeah. I know. I know we’ll be one of the first shows too, to go back, and I think we’re all just trying to… We know we’re the little Guinea pigs of big production. So I think we’re just trying to… I know the producers are working hard to get all the protocols and just do it safely as possible.

    Suzanne: Right. Well, at least being a kid show, you won’t have to worry as much about things like kissing and stuff like that. Like they do in the store.

    Lyndsy: No, I feel I’m so grateful. I [inaudible 00:16:33] just that. There’s no kissing, no sex scenes. No nothing. It’s just a family comedy. So I’m like, thank goodness.

    Suzanne: Yeah. That’s good. Yeah. All right. Well, so thanks so much for talking to us today.

    Lyndsy: Oh my gosh. It was a pleasure. Thank you so much.

    Suzanne: All right. See you later.

    Lyndsy: Bye.

    Primetime DVD Review: “Evil – Season One”

    Posted on by TvMegasite Admin

    EVIL: Season One DVD cover

    “EVIL: Season One” Review by Suzanne 6/25/20

    This is a good show, which isn’t surprising, since it’s written by the same writers that make “The Good Fight” and made “The Good Wife” (husband and wife team Michelle and Robert King)  You might be surprised that the writers, who are so good with legal and political shows, would do a horror show.  That means you forgot their previous CBS show “Braindead,” which was a horror-political-satire back in 2016.  Sadly, that one didn’t last longer than a year. In part, I think it’s because it was a little gross, and in part, it tried to do too many things at once. Not say that there isn’t some humor in “EVIL” because there is plenty. It’s mostly serious, though.

    “EVIL” is about a team of three – David, an ex-journalist, now training to be a priest (Mike  Colter); Kristen, a psychologist (Katja Herbers) and Ben, the tech guy (Aasif Mandvi).  The team investigates events that may be spiritual, such as possessions or miracles.  David is a believer, of course.  Ben is a skeptic.  Kristen is somewhere in between. She isn’t sure what to think. Most of the show is seen through her eyes. The Catholic church pays for them to investigate these possible demon- or angel-involved events. The marvelous Christine Lahti plays Kristen’s mom.  The show gets more interesting when we see the flaws of the characters. It can also be creepy and scary, like any good horror show.

    Make no mistake, this is a show about the supernatural. In the very first episode, we meet Leland (the wonderful Michael Emerson), who is either the devil or working for him.  Kristen is visited by a demon named George in her dreams.  Each episode has its own event, but there is also a larger story arc here, involving 60 demons.  As you watch more episodes, you learn more about the story arc.  I’m not saying it’s a perfect. There are some things in the show that don’t make a lot of sense. For instance, in the first episode, Leland steals her therapists’ notes and then uses them against her with the criminal she’s been analyzing (in her previous job, working for the D.A.). So why doesn’t she press charges against him? Her therapist saw the guy and could identify him.  They merely glossed over it in the second episode, with the D.A. saying that Leland explained his account was hacked. At the end of another episode, a man they have been investigating jumps off the roof. They never mentioned that again. Sometimes the characters do things that just make me scream at the TV, “Why are you doing that? Stupid!” but not too often.

    It’s compelling drama, fun horror (and sometimes very scary), and well worth watching, despite a few flaws. I’m very glad to have the DVD because I didn’t watch the show regularly when it was on TV. I’m glad it got renewed for a second season, too.  If you’re very religious, especially Catholic, then you may not like it.  You’ll have to watch it and judge for yourself.  I’m sure it would be extra fun to watch this during Halloween.  Some of the episodes are  very scary, such as the Christmas episode, or the one where David is in the hospital. The show really exploits our fears, like things in our ears, or creepy children, or being in the hospital.

    There are a few great extras. First, they have deleted scenes for many of the episodes. There are also two nice features. One is “Season One: Genesis” and the other is “Does Evil Exist?”  The first talks about the show and its background. The second is very interesting and a bit philosophical. You should definitely watch this DVD.

    MORE INFORMATION:

    Coming to DVD on June 30 is the new hit series Evil: Season One from CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment.

    Earth's Sacred Wonders DVD cover

    “Earth’s Sacred Wonders ” Review by Suzanne 5/20/20

    There is a lot of beautiful scenery in this documentary, and you will learn about a lot of great places in the world. You’ve no doubt seen many PBS documentaries with beautiful scenery from around the world. What makes this one different is that it’s about places that are considered sacred or spirtual.

    If that kind of thing appeals to you, buy this DVD. It would make a great gift for anyone. I’m not really into sacred or spiritual things, though, so it’s not really my cup of tea. I would rather just worship mother nature and her wondrous places, and not other spiritual entities.

    MORE INFORMATION:

    Earth’s Sacred Wonders

    ­The earth’s architectural landscape, throughout history, has largely been sculpted and inspired by faith. Today, more worshippers than ever are flocking to these sacred structures and global landmarks. For some, these places are settings to quietly contemplate, but for others they are sites to find extraordinary acts of worship, dangerous challenges, and remarkable deeds of devotion, rarely seen by outsiders. Earth’s Sacred Wonders takes viewers on a journey, set against the most breathtakingly stunning backdrops this world has to offer, to discover the lengths that people will go for their faith. Filmed across 5 continents in 12 different languages, filled with compelling stories, this program showcases how some of the most profound sites of worship are places of powerful spiritual significance and human drama.

    Primetime DVD Review “Amazon Empire”

    FRONTLINE: Amazon Empire: The Rise and Reign of Jeff Bezos DVD cover

    “FRONTLINE: Amazon Empire: The Rise and Reign of Jeff Bezos” Review by Suzanne 5/20/20

    I have to confess that I love Amazon. I started online in 94 and started shopping as soon as I could, on Amazon and other places. I also started in their affiliate program (I’m still on there, although it doesn’t pay that much). I’ve been shopping on Amazon in 1997 and spend hundreds of dollars there every week. I even wrote a paper for my class this past spring about it. I knew about some of the drawbacks of the site; how they treated their employees. This documentary, however, shows me that there is even more to know.

    One thing that Amazon does well is take care of its customers. They are rare in that sense. As it says in the doc, Amazon puts customer care over everything else. This is why they have that customer loyalty. I think some people might be shocked if they watch this documentary, though.  Some of their business tactics are pretty underhanded. Part of the reason Amazon thrives is that they always try new things, and they treat their customers well. If more companies did that, then they would give Amazon more competition.

    You should enjoy watching this. Some of it the stuff they claim about Jeff Bezos is scary. You have to decide for yourself whether it’s worth it to keep shopping there or not.

    MORE INFORMATION:

    Frontline: Amazon Empire: The Rise and Reign of Jeff Bezos

    Amazon’s Jeff Bezos build a business empire that is unprecedented in the history of American capitalism–delivering endless products, entertainment services and technology innovations to customers with just a click of a button. But what is the cost of Amazon’s convenience?

    FRONTLINE examines Amazon and Jeff Bezos’ ascent to power–and his ability to shape everything from the future of work, to the future of commerce, to the future of technology. From award-winning filmmakers James Jacoby and Anya Bourg (The Facebook Dilemma), the documentary draws on interviews with current top executives and former insiders, as well as regulators and critics, raising tough questions about Bezos and the empire he built. Through these interviews, Jacoby and Bourg’s investigation presents an inside look at who Bezos is, and how he transformed a tiny company run out of a garage into a staple of American consumerism that critics contend is willing to dominate the market at all costs.

    Primetime DVD Review “East Lake Meadows”

    “East Lake Meadows – A Public Housing Story” Review by Suzanne 5/20/20

    This is very educational. As someone who grew up in the 70’s, I enjoyed watching their old films and hearing about life in the public housing. I had heard about Cabrini Green and some other public housing places before and always wondered how the residents could let their homes get so filthy and filled with drugs and graffiti. Now after watching this, I know how wrong I was to think that way. The residents had no money, and the city was supposed to be taking care of the grounds and repairs of the houses. They didn’t, so the places went to ruin. That’s just sad, and another disgusting part of our history when it comes to treatment of the poor (especially poor and black).

    They did a good job showing what went on back then, with photos, testimony and some videos. It’s too bad that so many people were forced out. This was done by Ken Burns, but it’s not one of his really long documentaries. It’s definitely worth watching.

    MORE INFORMATION:

    Ken Burns Presents: East Lake Meadows

    In 1970, the Atlanta Housing Authority opened East Lake Meadows, a public housing community on the edge of the city. Over the next 25 years, many thousands of low-income Atlantans, mostly African American, would call it home. Shoddy construction and a lack of funding left the project and surrounding landscape in disrepair and led to a rapid decline in the quality of life. As public housing in America became increasingly stigmatized, and a crack epidemic overwhelmed East Lake Meadows, the neighborhood became nearly uninhabitable, but residents nonetheless found ways to overcome violence and neglect, raise kids, find work, and create moments of joy. In the mid-1990s, Atlanta bulldozed East Lake Meadows to make way for new mixed-income housing, as government and philanthropic funds poured into the area in an effort to create a thriving community.

    Through the stories of the former residents, East Lake Meadows: A Public Housing Story gives voice to some of the most marginalized people in our society and raises critical questions about how we have created concentrated poverty and limited housing opportunity for African Americans, and what responsibility we have as a people to ensure decent housing for our most vulnerable citizens.
