Morimoto's Sushi Master (2023)
Good Until Kenji Showed Up
The intolerable Kenji Lopez-Alt soured this otherwise great and ambitious sushi focused cooking competition show.
Between Kenji, the clueless host, and Dakota Weiss whom fronts two bland looking poke joints, you're left desiring individuals with more clout in the world of sushi. Chef Morimoto, while entertaining, doesn't have the charisma or vocabulary to carry the show.
Adding to the disappointment, a great deal of senseless fusion is brought into the mix along with some challenges bizarrely omitting sushi altogether as early as episode 2. Sushi is versatile enough to feature a wealth of different dishes and challenges while staying true to the definition of sushi.
The good news is that if you, as a sushi lover, are looking for inspiring dishes with creative presentations then you have found a solid show. Just be prepared to tune out some gripes.
Overall a bit of a letdown..
We Have a Ghost (2023)
Do Not Bother
Perpetuating racism just minutes into this movie.
If you are in the mood for something to put you to sleep, well, this is for you. Dull characters the whole way through.
Anthony Mackie plays an unconvincing scheming manchild father that leaves you wondering what anyone saw in this script in the first place. No one displays any conviction in their roles and it just gets worse as it goes on.
If that wasn't enough, if you're able to endure the bad acting, race baiting, and dull plot, you get agonizing social media montages as a cherry on top. This is just as bad if not worse than Hubie Halloween.
How Netflix says this is number 1 is beyond me.
