Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Five Stars

Are you binge-watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt? Part 1 of Season 4 is now available on Netflix. I highly recommend watching this comedy.

Season 4 is six episodes of fun. Plus, the first 3 seasons are enjoyable too. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is a very popular show.

According to Streamline, the sitcom is number 1 on Netflix. Additionally, it is the best comedy TV show by other metrics. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidtcompetes with ABC, FOX, CBS, and NBC sitcoms. Soon, I believe Netflix will release ratings to prove it.

Here is a brief background of the TV show. The show is about a cult survivor named Kimmy Schmidt. Kimmy ultimately ends up living in New York City after the cult is rescued from a bunker. They were living underground for 15 years.

She must cope with trauma and start a new life. Kimmy deals with real world issues such as underemployment and low social status. At first, she can’t even find an apartment there.

Eventually, the now nanny moves in with Titus Andromedon. If you thought Kimmy Schmidt was a character, then Titus is another thing coming. In many ways, Titus is the backbone of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Every episode gives you something different. Ellie Kemper is awesome. She does a fantastic job staying in character and progressing.

Ellie Kemper tickles your funny bone… with a feather of course. She’s extremely likeable and pleasant. I wonder what is next for Kemper. She should star in major movies.

Moreover, there is a natural flow and sequence of events on this sitcom. The writing is terrific. And the characters are unbelievable.

Your sense of humor is taken on a journey. If you like over-the-top jokes and want a thrilling ride, then get on the bandwagon. I can’t promise you Lyft or Uber but you get five stars.

Why You Should Binge-Watch GLOW Right Now

BY: GURU JAY
On June 29th, Netflix is scheduled to air season 2 of GLOW. That’s 10 brand “spanking’” new episodes of a funky and wild show binge-watchers love to crave. From the makers of Orange Is the New Black, the show is set in the funky and wild 1980s, a much simpler time I must add.

If you enjoy slams, ‘bams’, and thank you-mams, then check out Netflix’s GLOW. Get your popcorn ready and binge-watch right now! I recently decided to binge-watch GLOW prior to this summer release because I feel preparation is key. The big day is approximately 2 weeks away, and I don’t know what to expect. But I’m prepared for everything, because anything can happen.
What are fans saying about GLOW? They’re just as excited as I am. With over 150,000 Facebook and Twitter followers “us” fans’ eyeballs are glued to our iPhones’ screens waiting on Tweets and Facebook posts from GLOW. We’ve seen trailer 1, trailer 3, and the one in between.
By the way, here’s a tidbit. GLOW is an acronym for Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. What more can you want as far as entertainment is concerned?
Woman wrestlers are a major component of the WWE’s appeal. Plus, what would the UFC be without Ronda Rousey’s reign? GLOW takes a fun look and gives a unique perspective on the world.
Although the setting takes place in the 1980s, you can draw parallels of GLOW to nowadays. Like the TV show, you could argue that people desperately want to be rich and famous. It doesn’t make sense, but I think more people want to be famous than rich. What do you think? Tell me in the comments.
I like GLOW for a variety of reasons. Netflix put a lot of time and effort into the series. The characters are likeable. Plus, there’s a nice mixture of talent. At the end of the day, their formula is working and it’s a big success.

Why Joe Rogan Is the Renaissance Man of Entertainment

Joe Rogan is one of the most interesting characters in the Non-Marvel Universe we call life. He’s kind of like the Dos Equis guy but without the long gray beard. In other words, he is a true Renaissance Man. Moreover, he kicks butt in more ways than one… through comedy and martial arts.

Just give him a microphone and watch him go. I often find myself listening to his podcasts and watching his comedy specials. Rogan gives everybody something to think about with his unique twist on life.

He has a style about him that makes listeners want more. I have followed Joe Rogan for years. I remember when he was hosting the Fear Factor. I used to watch that show every week.

Joe Rogan is the Renaissance Man of Entertainment because he’s on the cutting edge of popular culture. His podcasts keep you informed. I appreciate his insights.

He cares about being healthy and happy. At the end of the day, all you have is your health and happiness. That’s why I respect Joe Rogan because he champions health and happiness. Plus, he lives a full life.

You should watch his podcasts on YouTube when you get the chance. You’ll find dozens if not hundreds of videos that will entice your ears and eyes. Joe Rogan delivers everything you need.

Joe Rogan is interesting because he is a big personality. He’s kind of like Howard Stern’s successor in a way. He knows what to say and how to say it in a big way. He interviews people with a purpose.

Moreover, Rogan always has a message. He doesn’t simply talk to be talking. The 50 year-old has a method to his madness.  He gives you 100 percent every time he speaks on the microphone. If you like entertainment, you will like this entertainer.

Who’s Watching The Tick?

Who’s Watching The Tick?


This Saturday I spent some time watching The Tick with family. We were looking for a fun comedy and came across the Amazon Prime series. I had a feeling it was going to be good.

I noticed #TheTick trending on Twitter. These days I find some of my best stories originate from Twitter. I’d love to hear your take on the new TV show. Here are my thoughts on the new Amazon Prime series.

First of all, the acting was over the top, borderline bad. I don’t remember ever seeing the cartoon, but if I did it was probably better than this malarkey. I think it should have stayed a cartoon; at least in that format, I could better understand and excuse the plot holes and poor character developments.

As the Original Entertainment Guru, I value original entertainment. The Tick lacked creativity. You see I heard those jokes before already. I wanted them to say something new and different for a change. It didn’t happen. Comedy is all about discovering new perspectives. At the end of the day, I saw the same ole perspective. I had high expectations for The Tick. Maybe, I set the bar too high.

On the bright side, the cinematography was fine. I think it was a good setting. Still, there wasn’t enough excitement for me. It has potential in a parallel universe.

Overall, I gave it 2 stars out of 5. After watching the pilot and the second episode, we had to call it a day. It wasn’t our cup of tea. It wasn’t a total waste of time though, because I took a nap.

They tried to be like the Green Lantern, but failed. I haven’t seen this much bad TV in a long time. I was disappointed. Who’s watching The Tick? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

Marlon & Naked Movie Review

BY: GURU JAY
Yesterday Marlon Wayans returned to prime time TV. Who remembers the Wayans Brothers? His new sitcom is simply called Marlon. As expected, Marlon is hilarious like the man it is named after. 2 episodes aired back to back on NBC. So, families were rewarded with a full hour of funny. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Marlon goes wild. I’ve never seen a comedian more physical than him. Have you? He reminded me of Martin. I feel Marlon has gotten funnier over the years.
The other characters were great too. I got love for Essence Atkins and her portrayal of Marlon’s ex wife. Plus, Bresha Webb had a nice role.
I want to see Marlonsucceed. There are 8 shows already lined up; and I believe there’s potential for more. If you want to literally laugh your ass off, then watch Marlon Wayans perform on Mondays.
In addition, Marlon Wayans has a new movie on Netflix called Naked. The movie was released on August 11th. I highly recommend seeing the movie. I watched it last night. You’ll enjoy the film because it’s original.
The film is about a substitute teacher (Marlon Wayans) marrying a doctor (Regina Hall). Her father thinks she could do a lot better. I don’t want to give away too much of the plot because I want you to watch it. However, Marlon’s character gets stuck in an elevator naked over and over again. I believe you’ll like it.

Wayans plays the hell out of the character. Overall, Naked was well written. I gave it 5 stars because that’s the highest rating you could give. Brian McKnight makes a noteworthy appearance. Does he get naked too? You got to watch and see.
Marlon Wayans isn’t putting all his eggs into one basket. He is diversifying his talents. Moreover, he has mastered comedy.

Who’s Your Favorite? Favorite 5 Female Comedians
Comedy is an art form and comedians are artists. Let’s appreciate the art of these fine female comedians. They work hard on honing their craft. That’s why it is important we recognize their contributions. Without further ado… here are my favorite 5 female comedians
5.
Tina Fey is my number 5. She would have ranked higher if she were more active. Where are you, Tina? Fans are waiting for another 30 Rock. Still, you can’t take away from her genius. The former Saturday Night Live player holds all the cards. Have you seen her American Express commercials?
4.
My number 4 is Margaret Cho. It’s a shame that she doesn’t get enough recognition. Cho knows how to push your buttons. Her comedy has you on the edge of your seat. Over the years, Margaret Cho has undoubtedly perfected her craft. Have you seen her music videos? Check out this blog post.
3.
Whitney Cummings belongs at number 3. She is the best comedy writer on this list. If I were writing about comedy writers exclusively, she would be number 1. Did you know she is the key to the success of 2 Broke Girls? That show is a part of American culture. As you can see, Whitney Cummings directly impacts pop culture.
2.

At number 2 is Iliza Shlesinger. She is an underrated comedian. It’s about time she got her own TV show. Hook her up, Comedy Central. The standup girl is one of the best standup comedians on this list. Iliza is a natural at making people laugh.

1.
Amy Schumer takes the number 1 spot because she is a workhorse. This list had to include her on top. She’s always making movies and doing standup specials. I recently saw Snatched. I haven’t seen Trainwreck, but I hear it’s hilarious. 

Who’s your favorite female comedian? Chime in your comments.

Why Russell Peters Is Great

Why Russell Peters Is Great


Great comedy can bring people together. Some standups don’t know how to relate to everyone. That’s why you see instant backlash and isolated people at shows.

It is important to win the crowd over and get them on your side. Not everyone can do this effectively. Greatness takes time, dedication, and practice. The best in showbiz don’t become famous overnight.

Russell Peters is one of the greats. He belongs in the best standup comedians conversation. You see Russell engages in risky behaviors and his audience loves him for that.

This comic will make fun of anybody. Hell, he’ll even make fun of himself. When you’re not afraid to tell jokes, you sell out crowds easier. Moreover, he tackles challenging subjects in a sarcastic manner.

Born in Toronto Canada, he qualifies as one of the funniest Canadians. Plus, his Indian background contributes a great deal to his material. You could compare him to Aziz Ansari but there is only one Russell Peters. Make no mistake, his style and delivery are unmistakeable.

Many of his jokes are unrepeatable, of course, because they are NSFW (Not Safe For Work). In other words, repeating his comedy at your job could get you fired. So, proceed with caution. Tread on thin ice if you don’t want to offend anybody.

Everyone must know the importance of timing in standup comedy. Russell Peters delivers like Amazon, right on time. Right now is Russell Peters time to shine. The celebrity is singing You Are My Sunshine on his way to the bank. He has a lot to be happy about.

The 46-year-old is one of the highest paid comedians according to Forbes. He makes $21 million per year. That’s almost as much as LeBron James’ take home pay. I highly recommend watching his Almost Famous standup special. And I look forward to seeing his future work.
