The plot: Jason Bateman plays Todd, cousin of Michael J. Fox's character from the first film. First world problems plague Todd at his new college, but then things get wolfy, and his popularity starts to rise. BUT AT WHAT COST?

Random observations:

Voted #85 of IMDb's Bottom Rated Movies
Jason Bateman's film debut and he's lucky it wasn't his finale.
Michael J. Fox turned down the chance to reprise his role mostly because he didn't want to go through the hours of makeup application

Well, those were more like random facts today as opposed to random observations, but whatever. Jason Bateman is super charming, but he can't hold a candle to Michael J. Fox.

The verdict: I can't imagine this being anyone's favorite film. If you are a werewolf or Jason Bateman completionist, you may as well watch it, but otherwise, it's sort of pointless and might make brain cells fall out of your bum.

Streaming on Netflix I have only watched the first episode so far, so I obviously can't speak for the whole season. The truth is I want this to be Mindhunter. :( Oh well. I appreciate the sarcasm in the writing, but I'm not sure what this show is trying to do. Is this a Jack Ryan thing? I like cheese. Mmm... cheese. I'm totally getting some cheese after I post this. 0.2/1 Directing 0.5/1 Cinematography 0.6/1 Visual design 0.1/1 Editing 0...
