Review: “Kill Tony” (on Netflix)

 

 

MY REVIEW: “KILL TONY”
(PSSST….DON’T GIVE ME ANY IDEAS)

I just endured the cruel misfortune of watching the opening to a new Netflix special. Ten minutes was as much as I could stomach.

Kill Tony: Mayhem at Madison Square Garden is the name of this dreck purported to be a *comedy series* dredged entirely in shock humor punctuated with an unendurable strain of witless insults. Watching a brimming toilet overflow on Christmas morning would have been more amusing.

Unfit for Television: Review of Netflix Documentary about “The Biggest Loser”

 

 

“Beauty is only skin deep “

— an old fable

 

A new documentary about the once-controversial hit television show, The Biggest Loser now ranks as Netflix’s top program. Against my better judgement, I decided to watch it. To my surprise, I’m glad I did.

Titled Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser it’s a three-part series detailing the origin, rocketing rise in popularity, internal scandals, and ultimately the disgraced downfall of a reality television series that ran on NBC for 12 years. Billed as a weight-loss competition, the program spawned several copycat reality shows in other countries. Licensed “Loser”-themed merchandise even netted more than a billion dollars in profits worldwide, monies indirectly extracted from all the sweat, fat, pain, and vomit on full display each week branded as “family entertainment.” (yeah–several overworked contestants were shown vomiting during the show)

Review: “Live Aid” Documentary on CNN

 

 

REVIEW: “LIVE AID” DOCUMENTARY (ON CNN)

If you’re 50+ (born in 1975, or earlier), you remember LIVE AID. Now, organizer/musician/activist Bob Geldof reveals the stories behind all the music, the mayhem, the madness, and the noble effort to do something and try and make a difference

Last month (July 2025) marked the 40th anniversary of the most grandiose spectacle in popular music history. In 1985, “LIVE AID,” a mega-rock concert played simultaneously across two continents and attracted the most stellar lineup of acts ever, tried to focus our attention on a faraway forgotten place with forgotten people amidst a mega-materialistic world obsessed with wealth and status. That LIVE AID took place at all in the “greed is good” eighties remains a peculiar twisted irony. Recently, CNN Entertainment wrapped up its documentary of Live Aid: When Rock ‘n’ Roll Took On the World, which reveals much of what happened offstage and when the mics were turned off — before, during, and after the duel rock concerts were held in London (UK) and Philadelphia (USA).

The End of PBS and the Rise of MAGA Propaganda and Mass Ignorance

 

 

THE END OF PBS AND THE RISE OF MASS MAGA PROPAGANDA

What kind of sick sycophantic stooges *celebrate* the looming mass cancellations of longtime-running popular television programs like Sesame Street and Nova?

Seriously! Look at what this sick and demented society has become. These MAGA Trumpsters are some really twisted and perverted fucks. Openly cheering the cancellation of science and children’s educational programming? Really??? Hell, they drool at taking food out of the mouths of hungry schoolchildren (school lunches being slashed) and apparently don’t give a rat’s ass that Trump and his rich friends have doodled hundreds and perhaps thousands of teenagers (Epstein/Trump Files) ——- so what’s the big freakin’ deal about losing a kid’s TV show? So typical of MAGA depravity.

There are no words. But, I’l try to sling a few choice comments here and now.
