THE MENU (2022) Grade: C+

Had some intrigue in the start. It was lacking a hook, a reason, backstory. The ending was that cool either. Better grade cause there are some good acting and wow moments.

spooky tuesday is a (now not so new!) podcast where we’re breaking down all of our favorite slashers, thrillers, monster movies and black comedies on the new scariest day of the week.

hello, we’d like to order one black comedy done well, please. this week, the menu (2022) is what’s on the menu for spooky tuesday, and we’re breaking down the stunt casting that might’ve been, the cannibalism that should’ve been, and the iconic line-reading of the word “tortillas” that definitely was. in a film all about exactly what ingredients are needed to make real art, it’s clear that this project has a true love for creation baked in.

give spooky tuesday a listen on apple podcasts, spotify, iheart radio, or stitcher

Talk about Mudflaps: “Spinal Tap” Sequel to Begin Filming in 2024

- Paul McCartney, Elton John and Garth Brooks to make cameos alongside original cast

A sequel to 1984’s “This is Spinal Tap” will begin filming in 2024, Billboard reports.

“Everybody’s back,” director Rob Reiner said, meaning Christopher Guest as Nigel Tufnel, Michael McKean as David St. Hubbins and Harry Shearer as Derek Smalls.

Paul McCartney, Elton John and Garth Brooks will make cameos and Reiner promises a “few other surprises” to boot.

Filming is to begin in February with the storyline based around the long-estranged Tap being forced into a contractually obligated reunion concert.

“All these years and a lot of bad blood we’ll get into and they’re thrown back together and forced to deal with each other and play this concert,” Reiner said.

There is no title or release date for the film.

Movies and noticing stuff

My wife and I went to see the movie Barbie at the Mcmenamins St. John’s Theater and Pub – a friend suggested seeing Barbie at this particular theater because it might be easier for me to hear. She was right! And this theater has a closed captioning device that sit in the cup holder and has a positional gooseneck!!! This made it possible for deaf me to comfortably enjoy the movie! And boy did we…

Rookie-Critic's Top 25 Films of 2022: Honorable Mentions - The Menu (dir. Mark Mylod)

When I saw the trailer for The Menu, I was torn between interest and worry. It looked like it would be a fun thriller, but it also looked like it might be a film making fun of "foodie culture" at the expense of people who just genuinely love food. Thankfully, while it sometimes rides the line of doing so, it ultimately leans more on making fun of people who seek out fine dining and lavish food experiences as a status symbol, coming after patrons and creators in equal measure. Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Fiennes, and Nicholas Hoult all turn in fantastic performances, as does the whole cast, and the surprisingly comedic tone the film takes make the darkness of the happenings of the plot more tolerable by audience that might otherwise not be able to watch something like this. The climactic moment between Fiennes and Taylor-Joy's characters is one of the more memorable movie moments of 2022, and it caps the film's narrative off with a beautiful bite that I still think about sometimes.

Currently streaming on HBO Max. Read my full review of The Menu here.

This Week’s Horrible-Scopes

It’s time for this week’s Horrible-Scopes! So for those of you that know your Astrological Signs, cool! If not, just pick one, roll a D12, or just make it up as you go along. It really doesn’t matter.

Your musical tastes have you firmly rooted in the late 20th Century. That’s called A Rut. This week all inspiration is coming from THE FUTURE! Welcome to the 21st Century. 

Aries 

Look at you-u-u. Buckin’ the theme right from the gate. Instead of enjoying the theme you decided to look ahead to Spring Training by getting The Pittsburgh Pirates’ theme song, “Let’s Go Bucs! A New Pirate Generation” from 2011. Their first game is Feb 25th, so get ready to lose a lot of money. This week… stop gambling.  

Taurus 

Ok, this is starting to be a “Thing”. You’re supposed to get something from this century, not something from 1940! “Vote For Gracie” wasn’t exactly a toe-tapper, but it did get some people to write in Gracie Allen for President that year. Believe it or not she was way smarter in real life than she acted professionally. This week stop acting like you don’t know what’s going on around you.

Gemini  

Are you all conspiring to make a mockery of this week’s theme? Gemini? Your song only seems to have a pretentious title. “Outdoors at 7pm, Sunny Main Street”. I can’t tell you who the artist is but it’s from the Wii U’s version of “Super Smash Brothers”. The idea of cute little family-friendly characters in big-time beat-em-up gaming just says what we need to know about you. This week keep up your long-running streak of NOT kicking a puppy. 

Cancer Moon-Child 

Ok, now this is just annoying. Never mind that you’ve gotten “At This Moment”, originally by Billy Vera and the Beaters in 1986… but it’s a cover from 2009 by, of all people… Michael Bublé. Look, sure, he’s a great performer - pulling in full shows over and over again. But, look. Singers typically don’t have a successful career with albums 75% filled with covers. Unless your family name is “Yankovic”, just try to be original in your thinking.  

Leo 

OK, well… This is just getting sad. You don’t need to know what your song is, just that the band in question is called “Panic! at the Disco”. Well, it USED to be a quartet in 2004. Then they fired and replaced the bassist, then two left and were replaced, and finally it became, basically, a solo act - which will end its run at the end of March. This week stop being a prima donna.

Virgo 

(*SIGH!*) AnOtHeR CoVeR. You know what? Fine! The song is “Don’t Pull Your Love”, originally sung in 1971 by “Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds”, yes that’s the group’s real name. But your version came out in 2019 by voice actor extraordinaire Rob Paulsen. This week if your plans to take over the world fail, just remember - Rob had nothing to do with it going south! Take responsibility for your own failures.

Libra ()

You’re all gunna kill me. FINE! Libra - you get the original Broadway Cast recording from the musical, “In The Heights”. We’re going to assume you only speak English for a minute. If you listen to Latin American families yelling back and forth at each other, you’ll notice that they effortlessly slip between English and Spanish, and you will never lose one iota of context. This week start learning languages that sound angry; like German… or Klingon…  

Scorpio ()

Just… What the hell is with all these covers?! You’ve got the 2000 release of “Big in Japan” by Embraced. Yes, you will recognize the song and the melody and the lyrics, but… (*Pause*)  Be ready to gargle a lot of warm salty water to heal your throat after singing along with this version. This week, put Epsom Salt on your grocery list.

Sagittarius 

WELL, now! We finally get away from all these cover songs and get to an original song for a change! The song is 2013’s, “From The Future, Next Tuesday”. Which is obviously a tongue in cheek reference to the U.S.S. Enterprise-B’s launching in “Star Trek Generations” when everything was going to be installed “Tuesday”. The band for this one is… (*Beat Pause*) OH COME THE HELL ON!! “The Shake-Ups In Ponyville”?! This is My Little Pony Fan Music?! You know what? I give up! Congratulations, Sagittarius! You did what nobody else could - you broke me. Are you proud of yourself? Hmmmm?

Capricorn 

………. Screwit. I’m broken. Uhh… “Now is the time to try something new. 10% off on Ginger Pork with this coupon.” We got that one from Pagoda Village Kitchen up the street. They’re pretty good.

Aquarius 

You think we’re gunna be better than that for you? Nope. “Call your parents, kiss your pet, brush your teeth, and only drink fluoridated water this week.”

Pisces  

Someone wanted a Super-Naughty ‘Scope for you this week. It’s gunna wait for next week. You’re not getting any special treatment ‘til we recover from this damned set. 

And THOSE are your Horrible-Scopes for this week! Remember if you liked what you got, we’re obviously not working hard enough at these. BUT! If you want a better or nastier one for your own sign or someone else’s, all you need to do to bribe me is just Let Me Know! These will be posted online at the end of each week via Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and Discord.

Dirty Girls

So the conclusion I've come to is... in my own fanfic writing projects, I sometimes have works that I know are very good and are received well. And there are some that I know just stink, and the lower interaction reflects it. It's pretty comforting to know that for professional writers, the same thing is true.

Jane Espenson, for instance, beloved by Spuffies everywhere for being our man on the inside, ALSO co-wrote "Gingerbread," my least favorite ep ever.

Douglas Petrie is, in my opinion, absolutely an undercover Spuffy, or at least understood the assignment well enough to fake it. And I love him for being the first to write Wesley, for breaking Bangel up one of the times in S3, for writing "Fool for Love," for strengthening Spike's character in every ep that included him.

And David Fury... look, I know he gets a lot of flack, but I think he doesn't actually hate Spike as much as it seems. Looking at his list of episodes and the messages I know to be in them, I think he's just VERY pro-soul, and can't wrap his head around a vampire being good without one. But once Spike does get his soul... well, we need look no further than "Showtime."

But really, let's all bow down to Rebecca Rand Kirshner. For "Out of My Mind." For "Tabula Rasa." For "Help." For "Touched." For some of the sweetest Spuffy moments in all her other eps.
