This past weekend, whether you knew it or not, you were privy to a turning point in movie history. There’s probably been a number of different rites of passage that the cinematic industry has undergone in my lifetime but I’d hesitate to say all of them were as noteworthy as the digital rental release of “Trolls World Tour”. I know, it seems a bit silly to hype this up as …

The 2020 February comedy starring Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus did a few things wrong but I feel like they snowballed into an avalanche of unfair criticism. See what I did there? And then what I did there by saying “See what I did there?” Both were quite clever given the subject matter. So I feel like this particular review is off to a decent start. But lets not focus …

He’s clearly one of my favorites that ever was.
