Will & Harper (dir. Josh Greenbaum) x TIFF 2024.

Netflix's cross-country road trip documentary starring comedian Will Ferrell with his close collaborator and former SNL head writer Harper Steele offers a sweetly earnest portrait of adult friendship after the latter decides to transition to living as a woman late in life. It's a raw, heartwarming look at learning about transgender people past one's own experiences beyond middle-age as seen across middle America. It refrains from lessons or easy answers as the pair have honest conversations about what it means to become a new person that was who you really were all along.

Screened at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival as part of the Gala Presentations program.

My ★★★★ review of Strays (2023) on @letterboxd: https://boxd.it/4OImH7

'Strays' (2023) film

-watched 2/17/2024- 2 [3/4] stars- on Amazon Prime

These were some dirty, vulgar talking dogs but I found some of what they said hilarious, but if you don't care for bad launguage you best skip this dog movie. (Definitely Not for Kids!)

Strays (2023)

[greensparty]

Stuff I’m Looking Forward to in August

We are now deep into the Summer. No holidays this month, but here is what’s on my radar:

Movies:

Dreamin' Wild

This musical biopic is about brothers recording an album in the 70s and then the album finally gets discovered thirty years later. There’s a lot of musicians who have had similar experiences (Death comes to mind) but this is based on Donnie Emerson and his family. Opens 8/4.

Strays  

Alright, I admit a bunch of celebrities voicing dogs didn’t have me at first, but I’m looking forward to it because it’s directed by Josh Greenbaum, director of one of my favorite documentaries of the last decade Too Funny to Fail and the trailer got me laughing. Opening 8/18.

You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah

Adam Sandler has been on a roll lately and in his newest starring / producing vehicle, his actual wife and daughters co-star in this bat mitzvah comedy. Netflix premiere on 8/25.

Music:

Neil Young Chrome Dreams

Recorded from 1974 to 1977, this Neil Young album was never released. In 2007, he released the sequel to the widely bootlegged album. Excited to see it’s official release on 8/11 (review coming soon).

Aerosmith Greatest Hits 

In 1980, Aerosmith released their Greatest Hits album filled with 10 hits from the 70s. It is one of their biggest selling releases (12 times platinum). It was re-issued in 1997 with more tracks. There have been other compilations since then, but this new deluxe edition of 44 tracks is coinciding with their upcoming farewell tour. Album drops 8/18 (review coming soon).

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros Live at Acton Hall 

Recorded on Nov. 15, 2002, this benefit concert was one of the final live appearances of Joe Strummer before his death on Dec. 22, 2002. Especially noteworthy about this concert is that Strummer was joined onstage for some songs by his old Clash bandmate Mick Jones. In 2012, there was a Record Store Day release of this, but this marks the first official release on vinyl and CD and remastered. Album drops 8/18 (review coming soon).

Alice Cooper Road

Call this my Summer of Alice Cooper: in June I got to review his super group Hollywood Vampires’ live album, then I got to cover the re-releases of School’s Out and Killer, and just last week I saw Hollywood Vampires live in Boston. Now the King of Shock Rock is back with his 22nd solo album, dropping 8/23 (review coming soon).

TV:

Ahsoka

Rosario Dawson stole some scenes as Ahsoka Tano on The Mandalorian. Now the character is getting her own limited series taking place post-Episode 6 around the time of Mandalorian. Disney + premiere on 8/23

Conventions:

FAN EXPO Boston 

The annual Boston comic con hits the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. Good news is that even with the WGA and SAG strikes, celebrities can attend and sign and even do some panels (as long as it’s not about struck work). This year’s guests include Henry Winkler, William Shatner, Hayden Christiensen, Jason Lee, Peter Weller, Robin Wright and more. The fun happens from 8/4 to 8/6.

How did this get made?

Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar (2021) by Josh Greenbaum I recently subscribed to another streaming service (no Netflix for the next half year…), and when I saw that this movie was on it, I immediately put it on my watchlist, ’cause I heard it was hilarious. Now, how to say this… I’ve got my issues with a lot of comedies, whether that’s about my sense of humor or that those comedies aren’t…

"Will & Harper"

A tender, funny, and socially significant documentary that entertains, educates, and inspires.

“Will & Harper” is an emotionally charged yet joyful road movie that explores friendship, identity, and acceptance with the right balance of humor and heart. Directed by Josh Greenbaum, this documentary follows Will Ferrell and his longtime friend Harper Steele as they embark on a 16-day road trip across America. The journey is not just about revisiting cherished locations from their past, but…

Strays (dir. Josh Greenbaum).

I never knew we needed a raunchy, R-rated version of Homeward Bound, but here we are. Starring Will Forte as a true dirtbag of a dog owner and the voices of Will Ferrell, Jamie Foxx, Isla Fisher, and Randall Park as a pack of less than loved street dogs, the canine journey of bonding and filthy jokes about dicks, masturbating, and various other pet-related humour all makes for an enjoyable ninety-minute watch.

Produced by Lord and Miller, the animal comedy packs in the laughs without wasting much time or energy on unneeded elements and even manages to make fun of the well-loved but simplistic dog movie genre.
