MICHELLE FROM FORCE OF LIGHT ON STAR WARS: THE ACOLYTE

michelle from force of light entertainmentMany readers have been asking me about my take on the latest Disney show by Harvey Weinstein’s former personal assistant Leslye Headland – The Acolyte. I checked out of Star Wars quite a few years ago, so I’m not up to date on all the Disney debacles.

Regular readers may remember my 2022 shout out to Force of Light Entertainment, a terrific YT channel by two sisters named Michelle and Natalie. Michelle (who has a PhD by the way) has kept current with the IP and skillfully dissects The Acolyte through its first three episodes.

force of light entertainmentThis pathetic series is apparently every bit as horrible as we’ve heard, but Michelle is much less sarcastic than I am when I write reviews, so her approach may be more appealing. Below is her take on the first two Acolyte episodes, but for Michelle’s review of the execrable third episode AND to subscribe to the channel Force of Light Entertainment, click HERE

FORCE OF LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT: TWO LADIES WITH HOT TAKES

michelle and natalieMeet Michelle and Natalie, the two pop culture reviewers whose YT Channel is called Force of Light Entertainment.

When they do have to jump into cultural commentary depending on the item being reviewed, they push back against SJW idiocy and censorship. Below is a sample of the two sisters’ approach as they express their displeasure with an episode of The Book of Boba Fett.

masc chair and bottleBalladeer’s Blog takes a look at several controversial pieces of entertainment too edgy for the mainstream.

… BUT NAMES WILL NEVER HURT ME (2016) – Is it real? If it is, is it MEANT to be as funny as it is? Left-wingers and right-wingers try to shame into silence the contestants on a game show. This is done by calling them “racists” if they are pro-freedom of expression and “baby-killers” if they are pro-choice on abortion.  Real or fake, this game show is sure to offend almost everybody.

THE NEW PEOPLE (1969): FORGOTTEN TELEVISION

TTHE NEW PEOPLE (1969) – It’s another Balladeer’s Blog look at a forgotten television program.

The New People was part of a brief and very odd experiment with television programs that ran just 45 minutes INCLUDING commercials.

These shows were always paired with a sister program that also ran 45 minutes total, thus the two back- to- back programs filled a total 90 minute block. In the case of The New People that sister show was The Music Scene

The New People was sort of like “Lord of the Flies Meets the 60’s Counterculture”. An airplane crashes on a desert island in the Pacific. Only one adult survives the crash but even they eventually pass away. Continue reading
