Note to Parents: Monarch: Legacy of Monster is rated TV-14 here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt17220216/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ql_stry_4

Cast & Crew

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21235248/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ql_1

Monarch: Legacy of Monster - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt17220216/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ql_1

Run Time

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - 1 Hour & 55 Minutes

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters - 41 to 55 Minutes (number of episode - 10)

Ghostbuster: Frozen Empire Trailer - https://youtu.be/X7Di42uUaF0?si=8Ew1XLkR3bx8R-pL

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Trailer - https://youtu.be/JLHsM4bpfxY?si=fSiiYklnBPC5HALI

00:00 - Intro

01:04 - Part 1 Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

03:06 - What I like

The darker tone of the story

Love how the Spangler family has taken up the mantle (along with the former Ghostbusters including Peck)

Like some of the call back to Ghostbusters 1 & 2

06:30 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

Dr. Hubert Wartzki's (Patton Oswald) role was small and disappointed

Somewhat mix of Kumail Nanjiani's (Nadeem Razmaadi) character

08:06 - Overall

10:16 - Part 2 Monarch: Legacy of Monsters

12:38 - What I like

Like the idea of exploring Monarch's history and its place in the monster's verse

That it goes to different periods & ties itself to 2015 Godzilla and 2017 Kong Skull Island

14:58 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

If you’re going in expecting to see Titan fight you going to be somewhat disappointed

16:12 - Overall

Sonic Prime Season 3 My Take

My review/thoughts on season 3 of Netflix Sonic Prime

Note to Parents: Netflix Sonic Prime is rated TV-Y7 here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13961348/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ql_stry_4

Sonic Prime Season 3 Trailer - https://youtu.be/YzzgWS5tpP4?si=ba7Ws-BgOne8ylqK

Cast & Crew - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13961348/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ql_1

Running time: Between 22 to 44 minutes

My take on season 1 of Sonic Prime - https://youtu.be/LHtPWrTdjUw?si=-cQGvPKSmoU8YhGY

My take on season 2 of Sonic Prime - https://youtu.be/lh3osPyn2K0?si=jQgg_q_RcM3tMRFB

00:00 - Intro

02:30 - What I like

Avenger Endgame-like battle looks neat

Nine/Tails being the villain (but being redeemed in the final episodes) was interesting

Shadow getting some airtime

05:20 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

Would have been nice to see Sonic's actual friends show up and not be left on the final episode

Series finale felt like it was left on a cliffhanger
