There are no major spoilers in these reviews.
Jumanji: The Next Level (PG-13):
This unnecessary sequel lacks all of the charm of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and the plot is paper-thin once you strip out the endless CGI sequences of monkeys and ostriches. Jokes about being old are used and reused to oblivion. Even Danny DeVito and Jack Black can't save it. On Hulu.
Final Grade: D
Death to 2020:
This mockumentary about 2020 (from the creators of Black Mirror) is a lot of fun, especially in hindsight. It mixes real footage with famous actors pretending to be normal people. Diane Morgan (of Cunk on Earth) and Hugh Grant are particularly fun.
Final Grade: B+
Abbott Elementary, Season Three:
The third season dips in quality, introducing a bunch of characters "working at the district" who feel more like SNL skit actors than anything else. A few good laughs, but not much of an overarching storyline to get invested in.
Final Grade: B-
Snapdragon Vietnamese Pho:
This Costco Pho tastes great, but as soon as you pour the flavor oil into the bowl of boiling water, your house will smell overwhelmingly like cat pee. I only eat it outside on the back porch now and will not be getting it again. (I only got it this time because the superior ramen bowls have not been in stock in weeks).
Final Grade: C+
