Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia Season 2 Commentary: Good Stuff

By: Guru Jay

Right now, the number one TV show on Netflix is Ginny & Georgia. Have you seen it? If not, you don’t know what you’re missing out on. It’s good stuff. Currently, Ginny & Georgia is in the second season. If you haven’t already seen the first season already, you might want to watch a few episodes before seeing the new ones. Netflix released the show on January 5. And now, 10 days later, everybody is talking about the success of Ginny & Georgia. It is great television. TV shows come and go. Let’s hope this one stays the course. For those who haven’t seen it, I’ll describe the show for you. First, there’s Antonia Gentry as Ginny. Her real name is Virginia in the Netflix series. Then, there’s Georgia played by Brianne Howey. They are both complex characters and the story is not so simple. Ginny is Georgia’s young daughter. It’s an interesting story because her mother is white, and her father is black. But her younger brother is white as well. So, this keeps unwrapping layers as you dig deeper.

I don’t want to give away too much of the plot, so I’ll write only about my impressions of the characters. If you love actors performing at the top of their crafts, then this TV show will have your heart pulsating. There are so many characters to like. Besides the two main characters, I like Zion Miller, Joe, Abby, Norah, Ellen Baker, Marcus Baker, and Mayor Paul Randolph. It is an amazing sight how the actors gel on screen. It is like the 1950s all over again with milk and chocolate chip cookies. But this time, it’s 2023 and things are turned upside down for the most part. Is the chemistry we see on film fake? Or is the television screen telling the truth? Whatever the case, Ginny & Georgia season two has become the number one TV show on Netflix this weekend. And what’s more, its motion pictures are set firmly in minds and hearts around the globe.

Golden Globe Awards 2023 Recap: From the Red Carpet to the Live Show with Peace and Love!

By: Guru Jay

This year the red carpet was rolled out for the Hollywood stars at the Golden Globes for the 80th time. #LARain was trending on Twitter which meant the weather was stormy. But the dark clouds dissipated, and everyone had a good time. As the countdown began, we saw star after star shine while they were being interviewed by Laverne Cox and her sidekick Loni Love. It was an arrival like no other. It was what we’ve been waiting for. Of course, we had a little bit of controversy. Comedian Jarrod Carmichael hosted the live show and the first thing out his mouth was “I’m only the host because I’m Black.” I couldn’t chuckle at everything he mentioned. But, in truth I watched the Golden Globes to celebrate and acknowledge the film and television actors who made 2022 worth its weight in gold. @IamGuruJay I liked, tweeted, and retweeted until I felt I spread enough of my share of peace and love. To start the show, Jennifer Hudson presented the Best Supporting Actor and Actress Golden Globe Award. As you may know by now, Ke Huy Quan won the first award of the night for his portrayal in All at Once Movie. Plus, you may know Angela Bassett won for her role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. 

And so, the night started off with two well-deserved wins. Perhaps Jennifer Coolidge stole the show with her win for White Lotus. Also, Austin Butler, who hosted Saturday Night Live, won for his performance in Elvis. But you didn’t come to my blog for a list of winners. You can get that anywhere. You came here for my spin on things. I’ll give you what you want. The stars owned the night. Despite all that’s going on in the world, this was a time for peace and love. Despite the controversy Hollywood united. We need a new party called Unity. It is interesting what a day makes. From the red carpet to the live show, the 2023 Golden Globes was special. I’m thankful for another day on God’s green earth. Although I didn’t win a Golden Globe, you’re my gold. Peace and Love!

Top Five Game Shows: Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, And More

Let’s have some fun. Take a look at the top five game shows. What if we could play them all in one day? You could watch them all if you wanted.

Have you ever played on a game show? How would winning massive amounts of money feel to you? Could you handle the shock of an influx of cash?

Jeopardy! is first on our list. The trivia game show deserves the number one spot. People dream of becoming a Jeopardy! Champion. That’s why contestants devote tremendous time and effort to the show. Plus, it’s fun playing along at home.

Wheel of Fortune is second on our list. The word game show, hosted by Pat Sajak, earns this spot. Wheel of Fortune has lasted almost 40 seasons with Sajak. We can play along with this game show at home too.

Is comedian Steve Harvey the ideal host of Family Feud or what? That show takes the third slot on the list. We’re considering only a handful of shows, and Family Feud could be a number one answer. Don’t you love it when the players play sudden death? Often whoever has the best reflexes wins.

I grew up on The Price Is Right. It is an iconic TV show that everybody can enjoy. Whose Line Is It Anyway? Drew Carey was the ideal host of The Price Is Right. His personality and chemistry are a winning formula. If you like a fun show with tradition, then this game show is yours to watch.

Let’s Make a Deal wraps up our list. This game show hosted by Wayne Brady has a storied past. Is Wayne Brady the best or what? He is a multi-talented musician, actor, and comedian. Brady brings the X factor element to the game show.

Here is a recap of the top five game shows.

  1. Jeopardy!
  2. Wheel of Fortune 
  3. Family Feud
  4. The Price Is Right
  5. Let’s Make a Deal                                         

Give me a five.

Jurassic World Dominion Countdown

Jurassic World Dominion gives new meaning to the expression living under a rock. What’s your comfort level with stones? When does the stone age start and end? It seems like we will be living in the Jurassic period in June. So let’s begin where the story ends as we start our countdown to another movie.

Making a fire may not require rubbing stones together, but it still works. No matter what period, you need elements of fire to dominate the planet. In 2022, the release of Jurassic World Dominion is right on time.

Coming to theaters June 10, Jurassic World Dominion stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. Shining brighter than ever, the Hollywood stars will align and create a lunar event. The onscreen chemistry of Pratt and Howard will catapult the box office walls. I expect this movie to rule the box office. And shattered records are also predicted. Will they run out of tickets to print? Who knows?

Jurassic World Dominion is the third movie in the Jurassic World franchise. Before World, we had Jurassic Park. It’s more than American. These flicks are a part of global popular culture. Whether you see it on the big or small screen, the film has fascinating characters who will live on in our imaginations.

Park Vs. World

Do you like Park or World better? Should we even compare them? Are they collectively the same franchise? Whichever way you see them, you must see them. In 2022, World will have superior
special effects, but what about the screenwriting and acting?
Because Jurassic Park and Jurassic World function as joint ventures, it’s challenging to answer the above questions. Jurassic World Dominion should be huge. Don’t be surprised if this one is the biggest in terms of profit and success. Here is the countdown.
