Oper Frankfurt - La Juive

Foto ©Monika Rittershaus Il grand opéra è un genere che, se ben eseguito, può suscitare forti suggestioni e siccome i titoli di questo genere non appaiono di frequente nel cartelloni teatrali, non ho voluto perdermi la nuova produzione de La Juive all’ Oper Frankfurt.

Taking a minute to appreciate the way the folks at Watcher take time to appreciate and support their LGBTQ+ fans, because... Of course they've always been great with general fan engagement via incorporating fan submissions into shows, the way they run their social media, etc... But they've kicked off pride month with an entire merch line, designed by queer artists, the proceeds of which go to support queer people... This isn't just performative "participate in pride month because it's good for business" bullshit, this is genuinely amazing. They aren't plastering rainbows on top of their content to get more engagement and brownie points from fans, they're genuinely advocating for what they believe in and actively showing support to people who really need it right now. I know my blog here is mostly bullshit / meme content, but I just want to take a moment here to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, to EVERYONE at Watcher. Thank you for not only creating hilarious, innovative, and wonderful content, but also for showing genuine support and love to the LGBTQ+ community. What you do means the world to so many people, and all of us Watcherinas are eternally grateful <3

Joy Ride

Movies watched in 2023

Joy Ride (2023, USA)

Director: Adele Lim

Writers: Cherry Chevapravatdumrong & Teresa Hsiao

Mini-review:

I had been looking forward to this movie for quite a while, and I'm glad to say it met my expectations. It was clear from the trailers that the film was going for a very raunchy, balls to the wall sort of humor, and it definitely delivers. There are quite a few laugh-out-loud sequences, and the writers take things as far as they can in a way that feels positively surprising. Sure, some people might think the script relies too much on shock value, but the movie actually has some meta-commentary about that topic; they're just trying to show that Asian women can carry this type of comedies just as well as white people, or even better. Speaking of the cast, the four leads do an amazing job, although I'd probably pick Stephanie Hsu as the MVP. The story does become more predictable and generic during the last 20 minutes or so, but not enough to make things boring. So, yeah, give Joy Ride a watch if you're in the mood for something raunchy and hardcore.

Joy Ride

Joy Ride    [trailer]

Follows four Asian American friends as they bond and discover the truth of what it means to know and love who you are, while they travel through China in search of one of their birth mothers.

It's a riot. Incredibly fast-paced and very funny, with some fresh talent. Not all raunchy jokes hit, but that's as always also depending on personal taste. Even the inevitable "conflict" towards the end felt quite sincere.

boog! boog! the people want to know! your predictions for the upcoming guests on puppet history!

If the people want my opinion, then I shall deliver!!! (I know some of these guests have been on other episodes already but I think it'd be cool to see them again)

(Predictions get progressively more delusional)

We're DEFINITELY going to see Kate on the show again (which I'm definitely excited for because she absolutely slays)

Sara is definitely also going to be a guest because we love her and it's great to watch her reactions to Shane's The Professor's silly little antics

Steven Lim. He's so funny. He's been on Puppet History before. GIVE HIM MORE CHANCES TO BE SILLY ON WATCHER.COM THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL. 👏👏👏

I definitely think they could have Garrett Watts on the show since they've had him on PH before (and also Ghost Files and Top 5 Beatdown) and we love him so idk I could see him possibly coming back

I would absolutely COMBUST if they got Joyce Louis-Jean on puppet history. WE SAW TOP 5 DISNEY DILFS. SHE'S HILARIOUS. WE LOVE HER.

People have been saying this forever, but it would be awesome if they completed their collection of the Try Guys by having Eugene Lee Yang on for an episode

I think it'd be silly for them to have Danny Gonzalez on the show and IT'S DELUSIONAL BUT HE INTERACTED WITH WATCHER ON TWITTER AFTER HIS STANLEY HOTEL VIDEO it'd just be silly 🙏

Estranged producer Shane Madej. THE CHAOS??? THE FANDOM BUZZ THAT EPISODE WOULD GENERATE???

Weird Al

I am done. Thank you.

Joy Ride (2023)

Summary: Lawyer Audrey Sullivan (Ashley Park) takes advantage of a business trip to China to track down her birth mother, bringing best friend Lolo (Sherry Cola), Lolo's cousin Vanessa "Deadeye" (Sabrina Wu), and (eventually) college friend Kat (Stephanie Hsu) with her.

Very funny and heartfelt take on identity and belonging with great chemistry between main four. Train scene undeniable highlight.

Rating: 4.25/5
