Mickey: The Story of a Mouse (2022)
I wanted to love it
Anyone who knows me knows I am obsessed with Mickey Mouse. I was so excited for this documentary. The trailers made me tear up. Unfortunately so did the actual movie but not for the same reason. I understand there is a dark side to Disney history (as there is to pretty much everything in the entertainment business) but did they have to focus so much on that? I was hoping for a celebration of Mickey on his 94th birthday but instead I got bummed out by terrible things that PEOPLE did using his image. I don't think we should shove the past under the carpet. We need to know these things so that we don't repeat them but I don't think this was the time or place for that kind of thing. How would you like it if someone brought up all of your past mistakes on your birthday?
Call Me Kat (2021)
I love this show!
This lighthearted comedy has some serious messages and themes that really hit home. Like doing what you love is more important than money and mother/daughter relationships are complicated. The ensemble cast has wonderful chemistry. I love that Mayim Bialik's character (Kat) breaks the fourth wall, letting us know what she's thinking. I've never seen the British version of this show but I recommend this one. I'm currently watching the first season again. It's a delight!
