Chelsea Handler: Revolution (2022 TV Special)
7/10
Chelsea is funny again
7 February 2023
I used to think Chelsea was great. I watched her show every week and she was edgy and hilarious. Then come November 2016 and it was like someone flicked a switch and turned off the funny.

Everything I've seen since then was cringe, something was broken, her last special i lasted 15 mins before i turned it off. But now, it seems like she has found it again!

The first 40 minutes of this special is great! If she had ended it there, it would be an 8/10. At about 55 minutes it got boring enough for me to venture to imdb to see what kind of response it had. The 5.9 convinced me to bail on it, that score made it seem like it wasnt going to get any better. If you're going to put out a 76min special you better have a track record of excellence and a performance that entraps the audience for the first 60 mins at least.

I watched Sam Morril's special right before this so maybe my expectations were a little too high, but i'm bailing at 55mins and maybe i'll watch the rest sometime, maybe i wont.

Hannah Gadsby: Douglas (2020 TV Special)
2/10
Weak. Not comedy. Didn't even crack a smile.
16 August 2022
I watched Nanette. I wouldn't say I liked it, but it was powerful, eye opening, emotional and unlike any comedy special I had seen before. It was a work of art and for lack of a less cringe word.. brave. It wasn't preachy, but it made a point and i'm glad to have experienced it.

This new special.. weak. It feels like a lecture. It's certainly not comedy. You made a thoughtful, unique piece of socially impactful art and we all got your point. Maybe chill out now and actually try making some comedy if you're going to call yourself a comedian.

The Simpsons: Lisa Goes Gaga (2012)
Season 23, Episode 22
9/10
This episode was great
27 January 2022
I started watching at season 16 and this was one of the best episodes i've seen since then. Not really sure what everyones problem is. I'm guessing it must be a hate campaign by Mothers Against Fun, like the Janet Jackson superbowl thing.

Anyways, watch it, its great.
