Saturday Night Live: Eddie Murphy/Lizzo (2019)
Eddie was great but the cast is horrible
I'll start with the most obvious thing that needs to happen. Please fire Kate McKinnon. All of her impressions are played out and not funny at all. The rest of the cast was not great but I think that can be blamed on the horrible writing. I'm not saying Eddie was bad, he brought a level of comedy this show hasn't seen in years. If snl gets more hosts like Eddie the show won't be god awful anymore. This season has been really bad but the only good episodes were hosted by former cast members being Ferrell and Murphy. Snl needs to learn how to be funny again and make the show an actual comedy show with good hosts not a platform for unfunny people to promote to new movie, tv show or other projects. And again please fire Kate McKinnon.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Amazing
It expands on what we need to know and concludes the saga in the best way. I don't understand why people complain when the plot isn't a retelling of a previous episode yet they still complain when anything is different. If you're a true Star Wars fan you'll love the final installment.
Booksmart (2019)
It's Superbad but really bad
Booksmart is just a copy of Superbad but this movie lacks something the other had that being comedy. The fat one even looks like Jonah Hill.
His Dark Materials (2019)
Bad
Dafne Keen was good in "Logan" because she barely talked and now she talks all the time in this proving she's not even good enough for a guest spot on a Disney channel show.
Watchmen (2019)
Just Plain Bad
Why didn't HBO just do the story from the original graphic novels? They have the rights to one of the best super hero stories ever told and they make a sequel to it set in modern day. This is a waste of time with only two good characters. The chief of police is great but he dies in the first episode. Mirror guy is easily the best character but they give all the screen time to Regina King. And why is that? Because she's a strong black woman of course.
Saturday Night Live: Will Ferrell/King Princess (2019)
Good and Bad
The cold open and the monologue were not very good. The first sketch was horrible with only one good impersonation that being Will Ferrel. Kate McKinnon shows us once again that she has played out all of her impressions. It's time for her and Beck Bennet to move on to other things hopefully not comedy and leave snl. They have both overstayed their welcome and both are not funny anymore although McKinnon never was. This episode really rides on Ferrel and the guest stars. The cast still does nothing for this show except for a few. That being said this is the best episode of the season but that's not a hard title to get in the current state of snl.
Saturday Night Live: Harry Styles (2019)
More disappointing than the last
More played out impressions, too much Kate McKinnon, horrible host, horrible writing, horrible cast, horrible cold open and another horrible episode.
Saturday Night Live: Kristen Stewart/Coldplay (2019)
Just Plain Bad
When your cast is mostly horrible and the host is even worse they do not have a great show for us tonight. The cold open is one of the worst I've ever seen, Kate McKinnon is overused and overrated. She hasn't been funny for her whole time as a cast member so when the show relies on her so much it ruins the show. If they had better writers and used Kyle Mooney more maybe SNL could have a good episode. Just another disappointment. Also they need to quit doing so many political sketches they've played out every impersonation the cast can do. And if they hired a host who actually does comedy the jokes might land but SNL is just a platform for the host to promote a new movie or show. The biggest realization from this episode is they need better writers and better hosts seeing how there hasn't need a good episode since Dave Chappelle hosted.
Silicon Valley: Blood Money (2019)
One Scene
The scene where Richard and Jared fight at the incubator is the best part of this episode, season and show. One of the only times I've laughed out loud while watching Silicon Valley.
Looking for Alaska (2019)
Good Until The End
Looking for Alaska is a good miniseries but that's it just good. The casting is perfect and the actors give good performances. Most of the dialogue is pretty bad though. The way the characters talk is just horrible especially the colonel and the Asian character (sorry I forgot his name) and this makes the whole story feel off and hard to immerse yourself into. It's a typical high school story with typical fake high school aspects. Now for the really bad. The weekday warriors are the worst side characters I've ever seen. They play them so cliche and they have the worst dialogue and no one on earth acts like them and that goes for every character. The "love" story is also bad. Pudge and Alaska hook up one time then she dies that's not much love. The worst and most disappointing part is the ending. What do the kids do after their friend dies in a horrible car accident? Well they pull a school prank of course. I don't understand how that two episodes before everyone in the school hates Alaska and now they're all crying about her then they all come together and pull a prank in her honor. All in all this show is just good nothing groundbreaking or award worthy just plain good. Don't expect any satisfaction from the ending though.
