Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years

2025

★★★★ 1

Still in the process of moving, but I needed to have a bit of downtime.  I absolutely refuse to watch movies on my phone, and I didn’t want to go down a YouTube hole, so here we are.

I’ll be back by the beginning of June, if not sooner.  Until then, see y’all on the flip side!

Better Man

★★★★ Watched

Quite enjoyable musical biopic of my boy Robbie Williams, portrayed here as a CGI monkey.  It’s a rags to riches story with a twist; that twist being not that his avatar is a simian but rather that it delves into the mind of an artist in some unique, clever ways.

Being a huge RW fan it was cool hearing some of his songs not featured in the film orchestrated as underscore, and seeing how they play into the story.  The…
