American Dad!: The Fast and the Spurious (2022)
A nice homage to 2007's film Sunshine.
Wasn't hooked in the first half of the episode but enjoyed the homage to the film sunshine in the last half as its one of my favorite space themed films. Unsure if the homage was dome intentionally but I'm guessing it was as there are many similarities in the plot and even including the music towards the end of the episode.
The episode started off rather weak and wasnt very interesting until the family arrived in space. The musical number wasn't great and was a bit annoying. I enjoyed the design of the spaceship though dressed as a pizza restaurant.
A lot to enjoy in this episode, wasn't a fan of the songs though.
Hocus Pocus 2 (2022)
Nostalgic and fun but also rather underwhelming.
I along with many 90s kids have been really hyped up about the release of this film and the return of the Sanderson Sisters.
The first film is one of my favourites from childhood and the best Halloween movie ever. This sequel, while good and fun, it filled me with so much nostalgia and joy in parts also left me feeling underwhelmed.
It's obvious the 3 leads had a great time on set and enjoyed been back to playing the sisters nearly 30 years later. However the new characters felt very bland and boring, which isn't the actors faults at all.
The plot felt very copy and paste from the original and didn't add anything new. There never felt like there was any proper threat or danger and once the end credits rolled I thought to myself "is that all?". It just felt like not much actually happened during the film.
That said, there is fun to be had and it has some good moments. I got a huge bit of joy seeing the original actors back playing the same roles. I just think they could have done a lot more with the plot.
Overall, a good Halloween film, but not quite as good as the 1st and doesnt bring anything new or interesting to the table, unfortunately. 6.5/10.
