Dave – Met Gala

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Dave – Met Gala
  • IMDb: link

We don’t get nearly enough of Chloe Bennett in “Met Gala,” who is limited only to the opening scenes spending time with Dave (Dave Burd). Notable for a number of celebrities playing themselves, the episode instead focuses on Dave’s desire to make a splash at his first Met Gala where nothing really goes to plan. The only silver lining for Dave in an evening of suprises and a failed spectacle stunt, is unexpectedly hitting it off with Rachel McAdams which sadly feels like early death bells for Dave and Robyn’s (Bennett) relationship despite how well its going between the pair. There are some other subplots involved, but I’ll admit my interest peaked with Bennett on-screen and lagged through much of the rest of the episode including the marginally-zany gala shenanigans.

Silk #1

/ / Comics

Relaunched for the third time in three years, new volume of Silk begins with our heroine the protagonist of a film noir detective story in mid-20th Century Los Angeles looking for a missing kid. It’s a stylish way to kick off the new series, which delays what is really happening until the last few pages where we see her psychiatrist and Saya Ishii working together and being responsible for the fake world Cindy is only just beginning to question as the comic comes to a close. Sadly, this means the noir world is likely coming to an end.

The Muppets Mayhem – True Colors

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: The Muppets Mayhem – Track 2: True Colors
  • wiki: link

The best thing about the second episode of The Muppets Mayhem is that by the end the show closes the book on the most awkward aspect of its concept as Nora‘s (Lilly Singh) constant lying eventually forces her to come clean with the group about her true position in the company. The contrived conceit takes up most of the episode, but thankfully Nora is eventually honest with her new friends and can now honestly help the group working on their album. Other items of note are Animal‘s (Eric Jacobson) running gag of presents for Nora, Janice‘s (David Rudman) unlikely allergic reaction to lying, and foreshadowing of Moog (Tahj Mowry) possibly being a talented musician in his own right.

Young Jedi Adventures – Nash’s Race Day

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Young Jedi Adventures – Nash’s Race Day
  • wiki: link

In an episode about good sportsmanship and not cheating, Kai Brightstar (Jamaal Avery Jr.), Lys Solay (Juliet Donenfeld), and Nubs (Dee Bradley Baker) join Nash Durango (Emma Berman) onboard her skiff the Crimson Bolt in an attempt to win the Kublop Classic race. Nash’s rival, the rich and super-competitive Raena Zess (Danielle Guilbot), is the group’s only real competition. Presented as a mean girl, who cheats to win, the episode softens on her when she learns the Jedi weren’t using the Force to help Nash leading to a final stretch of honest racing and good sportsmanship all around. While the shift in Raena might give you whiplash, there’s a nice message here for kids.
