Is this good?
Will this be good?
Every movie trailer answers or challenges those 2 questions. The ham-fisted rebuttal comes swiftly, however: no you don’t need to always see a movie to know it’s tank.

Do you really need to sit through a Michael Bay Transformers movie to know for sure? Tank is Tank. And Fresh…well Fresh is always Fresh. I’m down like I’m Brown for that.

For the week of January 27-February 2, 2019 I cover:
Barry: Season 2
Pooh: The Derrick Rose Story
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

Shall we begin?

Barry: Season 2 (January 29)
This is less than a tease…this isn’t even flirting. Barry: Season 2 has no release date…however you’re more than welcome to join me and the handful of others watching this incredible tv show.

Barry’s got real violence and real comedy. So good!

Sammy Verdict: Freshtastic tv show…whenever Season 2 drops I’m 100% In!

Pooh: The Derrick Rose Story (January 30)
WOW! My brown heart was worried Derrick Rose would become the new Penny or Grant Hill.

I can’t go through that again. Not only is he murdering it on the T-Wolves but he’s documented his tale with Pooh. April 11, day before NBA Playoffs where boys become men!

Sammy Verdict: These sports docs are hard to track down; still I so wanna see it!

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (February 1)
Hobbs & Shaw is Fast & Furious‘ Star Wars: Solo movie…if this doesn’t connect to 9 and 10 then why are we all here? I understand spin-off economics; I just don’t often enjoy spin-offs.

Sammy Verdict: Trailer’s better than I expected but this is a Netflix-er. I can wait for Fast 9.
