Lyrics
Rock the cradle of love. Rock the cradle of love
Yes, the cradle of love
Don’t rock easy, it’s true
Rock the cradle of love
I rocked the cradle of love
Yes, the cradle of love
Don’t rock easy, it’s true
Doo doo doo doo doo doodoo doo doo doo doo doo doo doodoo doo
(Doo doo doo doo doo doodoo doo doo doo doo doo doo doodoo doo)
The Love Shack is a little old place where
We can get together
Love Shack, baby
(Love Shack, baby, Love Shack)
Hey!
Pump up the jam (hey!). Pump up the jam (hey!)
Pump up the jam, pump it up!
That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spotlight, losing my religion
Trying to keep a view
And I don’t know if I can to it
Oh no, I’ve said too much
I haven’t said enough
The things you say
Your purple prose just gives you away
The things you say
You’re unbelieveable
(Oh!)
Do me, baby. Do me, baby
You can do me in the morning, you can do me in the night
You can do me when you want to do me
Yodalodaladyhoo!
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land
The Humpty Dance is your chance to do the Hump
Do me, baby
Do the Humpty Hump, do the Humpty Hump
Do me, baby
Do the Humpty Hump, come on and do the Humpty Hump
She’s my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face ten miles wide
Look so good, make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie-yi-yi
Woo!
Drum solo!
I miss you so much (M-O-I miss you so much)
I really miss you much (M-I-S-S you so much)
I miss you so much (M-O-I miss you so much)
I really miss you much
Hey, I don’t want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
Oh, I don’t want anybody else
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no
He’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He’s the one that makes you fell all right
He’s the one they call Dr. Feelgood
He’s gonna be your Frankenstein
Let’s kick it!
If you got a problem, (yo!) I’ll solve it
Check out the beat while the DJ revolves it
Ice ice baby
Ice ice baby… Word to your mother!
Ice ice baby
Ice ice baby forever
I’ll be your ife… ice… baby!
Hey!

Daredevil: Born Again S2 E6
Spoilers
“Requiem”
What a way to end an episode…
That final few moments of DD vs. Kingpin and the standoff with the AVTF and Karen outside was unbelievable. When that screen went to black, I was not ready for it.
I loved the appearance of Jessica Jones. We get the first appearance of her daughter. That was cool. I assume this is more comic accurate and that the father is Luke Cage, and we’ll learn about that later in the series. It seems that Jessica has been having issues with her powers since the birth of her daughter. They come and go. Not good for someone like Jessica Jones.
Karen is going darker with every episode. The conflict between Karen and Matt over Bullseye in this episode was one of the most intense ones in the series so far. It was a stunning moment of acting from Deborah Ann Woll. It makes me wonder if this is leading toward the death of Karen, who is one of those characters from the comics who has had an iconic death.
Daniel sets up B.B. to see if she is the leak. He gave her info that was fake, to see if she would release it. B.B. nearly does it, but she ends up deleting the message.
Matthew Lillard has some great scenes in this episode too, including one with the mayor. It feels as if there will be some big stuff with Mr. Charles moving forward.
The death of Vanessa devastated Fisk, and I was never sure what he was going to do. I did know that the doctor should not have come in to speak to Fisk. That giant Kingpin bearhug snapped the poor doctor’s back was brutal. Then the big Daredevil/Kingpin fight at the end of the episode was awesome.
There are two more episodes to go. I am not sure what else there can be. This season has been so great so far. I can not imaging where this is heading.
EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert
I had a open stretch of time tonight before Daredevil: Born Again so I went to Fandango at Home and rented the concert documentary by Baz Luhrmann, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert.
The film has a lot of behind-the-scenes footage and recordings featuring Elvis and his music.
We get some wonderful insights into the music and life of Elvis Presley, most of it right from the King’s mouth. Interspersed with scenes from his live concerts that he did after his movie contract expired.
It was great hearing him sing some songs that were not typical Elvis songs. We heard him sing some Beatles (Yesterday), Simon & Garfunkel (Bridge over Troubled Water), and the Righteous Brothers (You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling) among others.
Hearing the classic older Elvis songs ( In the Ghetto, Suspicious Minds, Burning Love) was awesome, especially with the live versions.
The concert documentary was highly entertaining and was a great piece of entertainment for the time frame that I had available. I kind of wish I had seen it on the big screen with a better sound system. It was a fun hour and a half with great music and an enjoyable backstage history.

Since You’ve Been Gone
Title: Since You’ve Been Gone
Written: Al Yankovic
Album: Bad Hair Day
Release: 1996
Style: a capella/1960s pop-rock
This is a fun song, in the same general vein as “One More Minute.” This is one of the few Al songs that had an official karaoke version as a B side to Gump.
Lyrics
Since you’ve been gone
Well, I feel like I’ve been chewing on tinfoil
Since you’ve been gone
It’s like I got a great big mouthful of cod liver oil
Oh well, I’m feelin’ like I stuck my hand
Inside a blender and turned it on
You know, I’ve been in a butt load of pain
Since you’ve been gone
(Since you’ve been gone)
I couldn’t feel any worse if you dropped
A two-ton bowling ball on my toes
(Since you’ve been gone)
It couldn’t hurt anymore if you shoved
A red-hot cactus up my nose
Since you’ve been gone
Well, it feels like I’m getting tetanus shots every day
Since you’ve been gone
It’s like I’ve got an ice cream headache that won’t go away
Ever since the day you left me
I’ve been so miserable, my dear
I feel almost as bad as I did
When you were still here

“Separate Ways”
I’m not sure what happened this week, because I found myself behind behind Cate. I know… I really feel dirty.
I think what happened is that EVERYBODY ELSE IS SUDDENLY JUST AS STUPID AS SHE WAS.
I mean, why can’t they just talk about what is going on, share notes and be smart about it? They can’t everyone has their own hairbrained scheme to make things even worse than it was before. Lee has decided that calling Godzilla was the way to stop people from dying. That plan seems to have some holes in it. Kentaro is working secretly against Cate and Keiko by teaming up with Isabel. Isabel’s crew wants the egg. Titan X just wants to protect her baby… Godzilla is here to kick some ass (It is always great to see Godzilla). Does Godzilla figure out what is happening as they are flying away with an egg dangling from a helicopter?
When Cate is the voice of reason, you know shit is hitting the fan.
Everybody has their own motives, their own selfish choices, their own stupid ideas and no one is wanting to collaborate.
It makes me want to cheer for Titan X.
I love to see Godzilla, but some of the scenes of this show were so obviously green screen that it took me out of the moment.
I’m most disappointed that Shaw has caught the “I’m really Stupid” bug. I would like to think that he would listen to Keiko and believe in her. But I guess there was just too many years of brain cells depleting to make it make sense.
Go Titan X. Go Godzilla. Wipe out these dumb humans. Let’s start again.

Trigger Happy
Title: “Trigger Happy”
Written: Al Yankovic
Album: Off the Deep End
Release: 1992
Style Parody: 1960s Surf rock like the beach Boys or Jan and Dean.
This one may not have aged well. It is a satire of the American gun culture, but with the accumulation of shooters in the country, the joke might hit harder than intended. It is still quite funny with the juxtaposition of the ark lyrics and the upbeat, sunny music.
Lyrics
Got an AK-47, well you know it makes me feel alright
Got an Uzi by my pillow, helps me sleep a little better at night
There’s no feeling any greater
Than to shoot first and ask questions later
Now I’m trigger happy, trigger happy every day
Well, you can’t take my guns away, I got a constitutional right
Yeah, I gotta be ready if the Commies attack us tonight
I’ll blow their brains out with my Smith and Wesson
That ought to teach them all a darn good lesson
Now I’m trigger happy, trigger happy every day
trigger, trigger happy
Yes I’m trigger, trigger happy
(Oh baby, I’m) trigger, trigger happy
Yes I’m trigger, trigger happy
(Oh I’m so) trigger, trigger happy
Yes I’m trigger, trigger happy
Better watch out, punk, or I’m gonna have to blow you away
Oh, I accidently shot daddy last night in the den
I mistook him in the dark for a drug-crazed Nazi again
Now why’d you have to get so mad?
It was just a lousy flesh wound, Dad
You know, I’m trigger happy, trigger happy every day
Oh, I still haven’t figured out the safety on my rifle yet
Little Fluffy took a round, better take him to the vet
I filled that kitty cat so full of lead
We’ll have to use him for a pencil instead
Well, I’m so trigger happy, trigger happy every day
trigger, trigger happy
Yes I’m trigger, trigger happy
(Oh baby, I’m) trigger, trigger happy
Yes I’m trigger, trigger happy
(Oh I’m so) trigger, trigger happy
Yes I’m trigger, trigger happy
Better watch out, punk, or I’m gonna have to blow you away
Come on and grab your ammo
What have you got to lose?
We’ll get all liquored up
And shoot at anything that moves
Got a brand new semi-automatic weapon with a laser sight
Oh, I’m prayin’ somebody tries to break in here tonight
I always keep a Magnum in my trunk
You better ask yourself, do you feel lucky, punk?
Because I’m trigger happy, trigger happy every day
trigger, trigger happy
Yes I’m trigger, trigger happy
(Oh baby, I’m) trigger, trigger happy
Yes I’m trigger, trigger happy
(Oh I’m so) trigger, trigger happy
Yes I’m trigger, trigger happy
Better watch out, punk, or I’m gonna have to blow you away
Better watch out, punk, or I’m gonna have to blow you away
Better watch out, punk, or I’m gonna have to blow you away
Better watch out, punk, or I’m gonna have to blow you away

WWE Wrestlemania 42: Sunday Night
Night two was so much better than night one. I do not want to downgrade Saturday night at Wrestlemania 42, because I did enjoy more there than I did not. However, Sunday night was just fabulous.
This is my match order for the night.
#1. Roman Reigns defeated CM Punk for the World Championship.
#2. I-C Ladder match won by Penta.
#3. Oba Femi defeated Brock Lesnar; Brock Lesnar retired.
#4. Demon Finn Balor defeated Dirty Dom Mysterio
#5. Trick Williams defeated Sami Zayn to become US Champion.
#6. Rhea Ripley defeated Jade Cargill for the Women’s World Championship.
Rhea vs. Jade may be my sixth place match, but it was a really great match too. It was one of the best matches I have ever seen from Jade Cargill.
Other moments
- Danhausen with the Miz, Kit Wilson, John Cena and a bunch of littlehausens. Comedy break.
- Brock’s retirement came from out of nowhere. It was surprisingly emotional. The hug between Brock and Paul Heyman was so real.
- The Demon’s entrance was sensational.
- Crowd felt much more active tonight than on Saturday.
- Only two champions retained over the weekend: Cody Rhodes and Penta.
- JD McDonagh took a Mexican destroyer to a ladder, head first. JD was the man in the ladder match.
- Je’Von Evans showed his skill too with the insanity that he pulled off in the ladder match.
An excellent night of wrestling tonight. The criticism of Saturday with the short matches and too many commercials, was not a problem on Sunday as the pacing of the night was much better (and with fewer matches too). There were commercials, but they did not overpower the matches like they seemed to do on Saturday.
Night Two grade: A
EYG Comic Cavalcade #199
April 19
It is Wrestlemania Sunday, but I am going to try to squeeze out the 199th episode of EYG Comic Cavalcade. I am excited to celebrate the big 200th post next week.
This week, we had a bunch of solid comics. Some fun new books. The continuation of storylines such as Death Spiral. Boobies! And an unexpected comic book of the week.
Comic of the Week
Nightwing #137
While Nightwing is a consistently solid book, the Comic of the Week has been those new, hot books. However, this week, the Comic of the Week was picked because of the story. This whole story going into the history of Bludhaven, plays right into the doubts and concerns of Dick Grayson and the relationship between Nightwing and Batman. Oh, yeah, Batman is here too.
One of the best Nightwing books since Tom Taylor departed.
Books this Week:
The Hab #1. Written by Joshua Dysart with art by David Lapham, Jacob Phillips & Bill Sienkiewicz. Cover art was done by Charlie Adlard (Gold Medalist). The newest Bad Idea book is one of the hottest books of the week. This idea definitely feels like an awesome amalgam of Hulu TV’s show Paradise or Apple TV’s sci-fi show, Silo. Bad Idea has been very strong over the last year and this one seems to be every bit as exciting.
Mad Magazine #49. Mad Magazine came out this week, one issue away from 50. This issue featured Mad’s typical comedic bits surrounding and involving Late Night TV shows. They did satire about the Late Show, The Daily Show, The Tonight Show, Letterman, as well as some classic older late night programs. There is also a wonderfully funny and poignant letter to Stephen Colbert for his final episode of The late Show with Stephen Colbert, which will be ending in May.
The Monster and the Wolf #3. “Chapter 3: Silence” Written, drawn, and cover art (Cover A: Silver Medalist). I picked up all four main covers of this issue. And this issue was completely done in visual storytelling No words. The fight between Wolfman and Frankenstein’s Monster is done beautifully by Mark Spears.
Jessica Jones: Alias-Red Band #2. Written by Sam Humphries with art done by Geraldo Borges. The cover art was done by David Mack. Who knew that the team-up between Jessica Jones and Typhoid Mary would make the most engaging pair in comics. Admittedly it did not look like the partnership was going to last into the third issue. I love Jessica Jones and it seems like I love books lead by this character.
Venom #257. Written by Charles Soule and art by Javier Pina. Cover art was done by Giuseppe Camuncoli & Frank Martin. The whole Torment and Carnage team-up only lasted an issue. Now, the Carnage symbiote has found a new host… Peter Parker? Are you kidding me? Talk about the Odd Couple. The penultimate issue of the Death Spiral story is another banger.
X-Men United #2. “Open Wounds” Written by Eve L. Ewing and art was done by Tiago Palma. Cover art was done by Stefano Caselli & Federico Blee. The new combination of the X-Men teams at a new Graymatter Lane school. Cyclops is not a fan of the idea. And this issue sees Captain America checking things out too.
Ice Cream Man #45. “The Window in the Back of the Apartment” Written by W. Maxwell Prince with art by Martin Morazzo. Cover art was done by Martin Morazzo & Chris O’Halloran. One of my favorite books of the week. It has been awhile since we had an Ice Cream Man issue and this one is a homage to Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window. However, it is anything but a copy. There are surprises in this story that I did not expect,and that is awesome.
Nectar #2. Written by Jeremy Robinson with art by Annapaola Martello. Cover art was done by Chris Shehan. The dangerous butterflies return to continue to spread whatever virus that is across Misery Island. And what does the dancing mean? This story has been awesome so far from Vault Comics.
Redcoat #17. Written by Geoff Johns and art by Bryan Hitch. Cover art was done by Bryan Hitch and Brad Anderson. Simon Pure and Albert Einstein are unsure about how much they can trust Benedict Arnold. Benedict sounds like a changed man, but can they really believe him? Redcoat continues to be one of the best Ghost Machine books every month.
Ordained: The Machine #0. Written by Robert Venditti and art by Trevor Hairsine. Cover art by Jorge Fornes. The Machine is here. We get some background on the big character from The Ordained book. This #0 has been pushed back and it was one of those kind of books that you wondered if they’d ever be released. It has been and it is a great addition to the Ordained story.
Narco #2. Written by Doug Wagner and art by Daniel Hillyard. Cover art was done by Daniel Hillyard & Dave Stewart (Bronze Medalist). Marcus wakes up from one of his attacks with the girl he had feeling for, laying dead beside him. Narco has been one of the best new books from Image and the story is progressing nicely.
Dead Teenagers #2. Written by Jude Ellison S. Doyle and art done by Caitlin Yarsky. Cover art was done by Naomi Franq. The new Oni Press series has been a fascinating story so far. I have to honest that I am not sure what is actually happening in this series. These characters seem to die and then resurrect. I am curious where it is taking us. I will be there with it.
Planet of the Apes Versus Fantastic Four #3. Written by Josh Trujillo and art by Andrea Di Vito. Cover art was done by Greg Land & Rachelle Rosenberg. Who knew that a combination of the Planet of the Apes and the Fantastic Four would work this well? The Red Ghost and Doctor Doom join in with the troubles.
G.I. Joe #21. Written by Joshua Williamson with art and cover art by Tom Reilly. We get the debut of one of the most iconic G.I. Joe characters of all time. Joining in with Scarlett making her return, we get Storm Shadow. This is also a nearly zero word issue as the imagery of the story takes its place.
Imperial Guardians #2. Written by Dan Abnett with pencils by Marcelo Ferreira. Cover art was done by Sean Izaakse & Nolan Woodard. I have been surprised how much I enjoy this new book. I am not a fan of the Cosmic Ghost Rider, but this is a character that I have been enjoying. I also love the way we have been seeing Darkhawk and Captain Marvel.
Absolute Batman #19. “The Straw Man” Written by Scott Snyder with art by Nick Dragotta. Cover art was done by Nick Dragotta and Frank Martin. A shocking issue of Absolute Batman with the arrival of the Robins and the death of James Gordon.
Fireborn #1. Written by Curt Pires and art and cover art by Patrick Mulholland. One of the surprise books of the week. I did not think that I was going to be into the Fireborn series, and yet I thought it was pretty good. A combo of fantasy and superheroes, Fireborn has given us a big start.
Other Books this week: Storm: Earth’s Mightiest Mutant #3, Magik & Colossus #3, Inglorious X-Force #4, Ghost Pepper #10, Lost Fantasy #9, Mumm-Ra: The Ever-Living #1, End of Life #3, Where Does the Rainbow End?#4, Malevolent #3, and The Thing on the Doorstep #3.
Quick Hits: This week there was a showdown between the Titans and the New Titans in New Titans #34. I picked up a black bag NSFW, 2nd printing Suspiria Vilchez polybag variant. It has boobies on the cover. *SMILE*. Speaking of smile, Smile: For the Camera #2 came out this week too. It has done a nice job of catching the creepiness factor of the movie. More vampires showing up in Bloodland #3. I think I enjoyed Tigris Island #2 more than I did the first issue. Racer X #6 had some dark times inside. The final issue of Ultimate Wolverine #16 saw Logan get his revenge on Illyana. The Netflix animated series around Kong continues with Escape from Skull Island #3. Speaking of Skull Island, Godzilla is still running around the Marvel Universe in Godzilla Infinity Roar #3. I saw Snow Monkey #3 on the stands, and I had missed #2. So I went to the back issues at In This Issue and I found Snow Monkey #2.
WWE Wrestlemania 42 Weekend: Saturday Night
Well, night one of WrestleMania 42 is in the books. It was a fine night, with some mixed responses online (but isn’t that always the case?). Here are my thoughts.
Bets Match of the night: Seth Rollins vs. Gunther. Hard hitting. Tense battle. Saw the return of Braun Breakker. Seth and Gunther proved that they could bring it even with a limited time for build.
Worst Match of the Night: Liv Morgan vs. Stephanie Vaquer. It was just too short. They needed another ten minutes of action to really sell this, and the ending with the Judgment Day and their “numbers advantage” is an old fallback to use in this big of a stage.
Best Moment: Return of Paige. Her return had been spoiled, but it did not damage the impact or the pop for the returning Diva.
Worst Moment: Too many commercials. Is this going to be the pay off for being on ESPN? Matches were too short and there were too many ads.
Best entrance: Cody Rhodes: Memories of the Past. His series of outfits led beautifully into the all gold one he came down to the ring in. Special shout out to Seth Rollins literal smoking jacket.
Worst entrance: Liv Morgan. Without a doubt the biggest, most cringe-worth moment was her lip synch of the new song she recorded. The dance moves were okay, but hard to listen to.
Match Order for me
- Gunther defeats Seth Rollins
- Cody Rhodes defeats Randy Orton- gets punted for his troubles
- Jacob Fatu defeats Drew McIntyre
- Paige and Brie Bella win Women’s Tag Team Championship
- Becky Lynch defeats AJ Lee
- The Usos and LA Knight defeats the Vision with iShow Speed.
- Liv Morgan defeats Stephanie Vaquer
Other standout moments
- iShow Speed and his face turn, splashing Logan Paul through the announce table from the top of the post.
- Randy Orton RKOs Pat McAfee after a failed pin attempt. Why didn’t Pat deliver a fast count?
- Jelly Roll gave Pat an elbow drop through the announce table before main event gets started.
- The Hall of Fame class is introduced. Sid Vicious’s kid is there despite the scathing post he put on X
- Seth’s black contact lenses. They were cool.
- Bianca Belair returned to announce that she was pregnant! Congrats to Bianca and Montez.
- John Cena was solid in his two moments. Need Cena and Danhousen before Wrestlemania 42 is over.
- The Danhousen blimp flying around Allegiant Stadium.
Other bad moments
- Wonder Years performing Becky Lynch’s theme. Lip synch?
- Too many commericals.
- Matches too short
- Crowd in Las Vegas was not great. They had their moments, but they were not consistently strong.
The second night card always looked stronger and I do think it will deliver at a higher level than night one. WWE really needs to drop the commercials and give their talent more time to shine.
Overall grade for Night one: B
Sunday Morning Sidewalk #65
Spoilers
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
“The Squire”
The third episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms featured a shocking conclusion where Egg stops Aerion’s men from exacting revenge on Dunk. He does so by revealing that he was one of Aerion’s brothers, and thus a prince.
This came not too long after a fortune teller told Duncan that he would be a great success and that Egg would become king and be hated and die in flames. The prediction bothered Egg deeply, but Dunk dismissed it as a joke.
The secret of the identity of Egg was spoiled for me as I was doing my write-up for last week’s Sunday Morning Sidewalk, which sucks considering what a revelation it would have been. I do know that the name of the Targaryens is a major name when it came to Game of Thrones, but I do not know what the significance it holds. Making Egg one of the Targaryens ties this to the bigger show immediately.
Dunk’s glare towards Egg at the end of the episode told a story about what he was feeling. He had been brought to the tent by Egg only to find Aerion trying to break one of Tanselle’s fingers because he believed his family had been insulted by her most recent puppet shows. Dunk fought with Aerion, only being stopped by the guards.
Aerion was shown earlier as a dishonorable man as he apparently intentionally injured his jousting opponent’s, Ser Humfrey Hardyng, horse. Egg had witnessed the event, knowing that Aerion was his brother.
Egg had requested earlier that day to be Duncan’s squire permanently after the tournament. Here’s to wonder what the fate of that request will now be.

You could have a big dipper
Going up and down all around the bends
You could have a bumper car bumping
This amusement never ends
I wanna be your sledgehammer
Why don’t you call my name?
Oh, let me be your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony, yeah, yeah
There’s a girl that’s been on my mind all the time

But I think she likes me just the same
Su-su-sudio, whoa-oh
And my girl wants to party all the time
Party all the time, party all the time
My girl wants to party all the time, party all the time
She parties all the time
Say you, say me
Say it for always, that’s the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together naturally
We’re going riding on the freeway of love

Oh, I’m gonna keep my baby
I’m gonna keep my baby
Keep my baby
Keep my baby
Keep my baby

WWE Wrestlemania Weekend: Hall of Fame
It is Wrestlemania weekend and I am here at my house, waiting for the show to begin. Wrestlemania 42 is in Las Vegas for a second consecutive year.
The weekend always kicks off with the Hall of Fame ceremony. This year, it was on ESPN Unlimited.
The inductees in the class of 2026 were Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles, Demolition, Dennis Rodman, Sycho Sid, and Bad News Brown. The bodyslam of Andre the Giant by Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania III was inducted as a Moment.
This was on real late last night so I had to go to bed and watch the remaining part of the event on replay on ESPN this morning.
Stephanie McMahon gave a great speech (although the appearance of Linda McMahon nearly made me want to turn the show off). The Demolition, Axe and Smash ( aka Bill Eadie & Barry Darsow) were inducted finally. They have been deserving for years, but conflict with the company prevented their induction until just now. AJ Styles kept his speech short after a long event.
This Hall of Fame ceremony may not have been the most emotional one for me, but it is always fun to see the inductees who always look incredibly full of gratitude, and the WWE superstars in their best outfits.
Bring on Wrestlemania Saturday
Normal
This was a movie that I had no idea about until just this past week. I had never seen a trailer. I went into the film as blind as I could. I thought this was sensational… a deft mixture of Fargo with Hell or High Water.
Bob Odenkirk co-wrote, produced and starred in Normal, as a interim sheriff taking over for a sheriff in the little town of Normal, Minnesota who recently died. It does not take long to realize that there is something really weird going in with the town.
This is a dark comedy and it was very effective. I was laughing out loud multiple times during the film, especially with some of the clever violence that is included with the film. I was engaged from the start with the mystery of what was going on in the town. There were moments throughout the beginning of the film that was just subtle enough to make you wonder if you were thinking too deeply. Maybe you were seeing things that were not actually there. No that was not the case.
Odenkirk, as we have seen in the Nobody franchise, works extremely well as an action hero. His laid back performance was quite the juxtaposition with the situation that his character, Ulysses, finds himself in. He is an easy to cheer for protagonist and extremely likable.
As I said, this movie is surprisingly violent and much of the violence is designed as the funny parts of the film. There were some clever scenes that a lot of horror movies would be jealous of.
At 90 minutes, Normal has the perfect length. It does not push things too far and has just enough time to dive into the story of the film and of this little Minnesota town.
There were fun scenes with Henry Winkler, Ryan Allen, Lena Headey, Reena Jolly, Brendan Fletcher, Jess McLeod, and Bill MacLellan.
Without knowing anything about this film, I enjoyed this one a great deal. I would venture to say that I liked this more than the Nobody franchise films from Odenkirk’s oeuvre.
