Things I Like: Spin the Wheel (Season 1)
New game shows are often terrible, but I found this on Hulu but originated on Fox.
The game show’s gimmick is the obvious wheel. It has insane levels of money on the wheel. Apparently a contestant can win up to 23 million dollars in one episode.
All the contestants are Good Samaritans. So while it’s nice they can win so much money, at the final round they can lose everything and go home with nothing. It’s rather cruel when that happens.
I will say Dax Shepard did a really good job hosting. He was sharp, informative, and quite funny.
The show’s first season is not perfect but it was a fun watch. Most of the contestants are kind of dumb, so the questions are kind of easy. The wheel is so flawed in odds that you’ll never see anybody win their maximum amount. Even if they had a hundred seasons nobody would ever do it.
Things I Like: George McFly (Back to the Future)
George McFly was Marty’s dad and we see him the most as a young man in 1955. He was even more pathetic as a teenager as he was as a grown up.
Because in the original 1985 timeline, he had severe confidence issues that really held him back.
I really enjoyed watching him knockout Biff.
And luckily, he got the love of his life back and the timeline was secured.
And with his son’s help, he became a much more successful man now that the timeline was changed for the better.
Apparently his actor Crispin Glover had a pay dispute with the studio and chose not to be in the second movie. But they got another actor and put his mold to create a fake face. Crispin Glover ended up suing the studio and ensuring that Hollywood can never do that again.
