My Thoughts - Young Sheldon: Legalese and the Whole Hoo-Ha (12/8/2022)

Synopsis: The university is interested in Sheldon's (Iain Armitage) database idea, but his parents are upset to find out President Hagemeyer (Wendie Malick) wants 90% of the profits. The church threatens to make trouble for Connie (Annie Potts) if her new video store continues to rent movies they find offensive.


My Thoughts:

The percentage might have been a little high, but I don't think President Hagemeyer was out of line. The university is giving Sheldon a free education and essentially making an investment in him. It would also be covering the costs of building the database. It's no different than when the university wanted the lion's share of the guidance system he and his friends developed in The Big Bang Theory. 

Dr. Linkletter (Ed Begley Jr.), on the other hand, is just trying to get money he doesn't deserve. I'm not even sure how he proves he is entitled to money.

I'm not surprised by the church's reaction to the movies in Connie's store. However, I am a little curious why it is only a problem when she owns it. It's not like she just opened that store, someone else had it first and nobody noticed the movies it was renting under the previous ownership?

Plus, shouldn't the church be boycotting it already? They practically kicked Mary (Zoe Perry) out of church and are shunning her and her family. It would seem like a store that is owned by her mother and employees her son's pregnant girlfriend (or whatever she is to him now) would be included in that shunning.

In any case, it is funny seeing Georgie (Montana Jordan) being the one with the most common sense. They are, after all, running an illegal gambling business in the back. The last thing they need is a lot of attention.

What happened to Pastor Jeff's (Matt Hobby) wife? Robin (Mary Grill) hasn't been seen in quite some time now, just occasionally mentioned, along with his kid. I am starting to wonder if maybe she left him and he's too afraid to let people know since he's already been divorced once.

Final Opinion: It wasn't my favorite episode because I feel like the university wasn't in the wrong and the church boycott should have happened long before Connie took the store over.  It was too bad this was the one that aired after the mid-season break.

My Grade: C

Movie Review: Mean Girls (2024)

Synopsis: After being raised in Kenya and homeschooled by her mother, high school junior Cady Heron is given the opportunity to attend classes at an American public school. As she tries to adjust, she is invited to join the Plastics, a girl clique headed up by the beautiful but vicious Regina George. Despite her friends, Janis and Damian, warning her about Regina and her fellow clique members, Karen and Gretchen, Cady tries to see the good in Regina. That changes when she falls in love with Regina's ex-boyfriend, Aaron, and sees just how cruel Regina can be. Her acts of revenge, however, result in Cady assuming many of Regina's less-than-desirable traits and ultimately becoming a pariah. All while breaking out into song and dance because this is a musical. Who's in it? The movie stars  Angourie Rice ,  Reneé Rapp ,  Bebe Wood ,  Tim Meadows and Tina Fey . Review: I've seen the original Mean Girls multiple times, first when it originally came out then again with eac

Kwik Trip Kitchen Cravings Tailgater Pizza

Image
  When my wife and I decided on pizza for dinner last night, I stopped at Kwik Trip with the intention of just buying a cheap, frozen, cheese pizza for our daughters since we already had another pizza in our freezer. However, as I was walking up to the checkout counter, this particular pizza caught my eye and, even though I wasn't crazy about spending $8.99 when I already had another option at home, I was intrigued enough to make the purchase anyway. We ended up making the pizza in the oven when I got home. After trying it, I have to say it is one of my favorites. One of the things, in particular, that really stood out for me when it came to this pizza was the toppings. The combination of sausage and cheese curds was both unique and delicious, especially since the curds were fresh enough to still squeak when we were eating them. The pizza also proved to be surprisingly filling, both because of the thicker crust and the generous amounts of toppings and cheese.  Normally, when my wi

Synopsis: Given only one year to live because of his brain cancer, Jigsaw Killer John Kramer travels to Mexico for an expensive experimental procedure with proven results. At first, he believes he is cured. Then he realizes it was all an elaborate scam being used to bilk people like him out of millions of dollars. With the help of his assistant, Amanda, he gets his revenge the Jigsaw way. Who's in it? The movie stars Tobin Bell , Shawnee Smith ,  Synnøve Macody Lund , Steven Brand and Renata Vaca . Review: My wife and I talked about seeing Saw X when it came out at theaters around my birthday. We are both fans of the franchise, especially her, and were intrigued by a film that would feature the original Jigsaw Killer. That didn't happen however, due to schedule conflicts, and we've been waiting patiently for Saw X to be available to stream on one of our movie channels. It finally happened last night and, after seeing it... well, let's just say I'm glad I didn&#
