TV Review: MASTERS OF THE AIR (Apple TV+) Part 9 and Final Thoughts

Posted: March 18, 2024 at 9:03 am   /   Television, Television Reviews

With the release of Part Nine, the official run of Masters of the Air has been completed. It’s been a hell of a roller-coaster, for mostly good reasons. I don’t want to spoil what happens to the remaining cast, so I’m going to do more of an overview of the highlights and lowlights. When The […]

D-Day. As the 100th regroups, it becomes pretty clear their focus is on the Allied invasion of Europe at Normandy. Crosby, or Croz, is preparing flight plans for roughly 200 different missions as he pops pills and chugs coffee in an effort to stay awake for 72 straight hours before June 6. Inevitably, the lack […]

“I’m not dead yet.” – Major Gale Cleven, probably Quick word of warning, cat/animal lovers may want to skip the first five minutes or so of this episode. It had to be a tremendous boost of morale to both Cleven and Egan to see each other in Stalag Luft III, along with several other members […]

Part Six begins in the aftermath of Part Five, showing three very different outcomes for members of the 100th. It’s a change of pace from Five, as there isn’t any aerial combat and the action on the ground is relatively limited. Major Egan, whose plane was shot down, is seen attempting to find food and […]

TV Review: MASTERS OF THE AIR (Ep. 5) on Apple TV+

At this point, halfway through the series, Masters of the Air has established a bit of a formula for its episodes. Roughly a third to a half of the episode focuses on the current bombing mission for the 100th, and the other two-thirds deal with the aftermath as well as the preparation for the next […]

TV Review: MASTERS OF THE AIR (Ep. 4) on Apple TV+

And now for the aftermath. While Part 3 showed the extent of the Regensburg bombing mission, Part 4 is a decidedly less exciting episode, as the 100th deals not only with its success in the previous mission, but also its losses. It’s a change of scenery and pace from what I consider one of the […]

TV Review: MASTERS OF THE AIR (Ep. 3) on Apple TV+

Posted: February 2, 2024 at 1:41 pm   /   Television Reviews

What a ride. While parts 1 and 2 of Masters of the Air were a bit of an introduction to the characters and a warm-up to how the 100th Bomber Group operated during World War II, part 3 is nothing less than the equivalent of the Omaha Beach scene from Saving Private Ryan, dropping the […]

If you were around during the late ‘90s and early 2000s, you’ll probably recall the massive influx of World War II video games and movies that suddenly became prevalent. Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Brothers in Arms, Enemy at the Gates, Windtalkers, U-571…a full list would take up an entire page. While WWII as […]

TV Review: ‘American Horror Story: Delicate’ is saved by Kim Kardashian

Posted: September 21, 2023 at 9:42 am   /   Reviews, Television Reviews

Ryan Murphy has been plaguing us with this shitty horror program for over a decade now. AHS: Delicate is really no different than the past entrants of the series. It’s plain terrible. I can honestly say that after viewing the first episode, that this series is nearly unwatchable. I say that because the only reason […]

Television Review: Wrapping up Ted Lasso – “Barbecue Sauce” (S3E12)

Posted: June 5, 2023 at 3:37 pm   /   Television Reviews

Note: since the final episode came out a few days ago, this review may contain some spoilers. It’s not solely a review of episode 12, but more a collation of thoughts of the entire series with a few thoughts on how it all wrapped up. 2020 was not a great year. Three years later, the […]
