Only watched the first episode but going keep watching to see what happens next. Obviously this the makers are fans of 80s slasher movies like Friday the 13th cause of the summer camp setting and other slashers of the time Emma Roberts always watchable . I hope the rest of the season is as good

Family friendly time travel action adventure sci fi, with Ryan Reynolds starring as a pilot from 2050 who aims to travel back to 2018 (for reasons made clear in the film), misses and initially ends up in 2022 where he then encounters a younger version of himself.
Definitely gave me the feel of the 80s Amblin films!

I feel that this movie was better than the first with the Summer camp setting and more of a gritty feel with a great music soundtrack. It definitely sets the tone and vibe of an 80s horror movie. It gives some great backstory for a couple of characters in the first movie in the trilogy. Overall, really well done.

I wish I was as cool as these nerds!
If this is really what happens when "nerds" go to college, I want to enroll!
Lewis and Gilbert think things will be different when they show up to attend Atoms College. Unfortunately, the football jocks and the cheerleaders have some immature fun at the expense of the nerds.
Never fear, however, the nerds devise a plan to get even and ultimately win a seat on the Greek counsel in an attempt to change opinions around the college.
Much of the film is raunchy, immature humor with a lot of 80s nudity thrown in; however, some of the characters are down right hilarious and many of the scenes are very funny. It is still one of my go to 80s comedy gems.

Having read three other David Mitchell books I had an idea in my head of what this one would be like. I think if I hadn't had those preconceptions I would have enjoyed it more because this one wasn't anything like the others.
The plot follows a year in the life of 13/14 year old Jason Taylor growing up in a small country town in the 80s. This digs deep into all of the trials and tribulations of growing up if you're not popular but instead a rather awkward stuttered.
I liked the nostalgia but I just felt that the story was a little too steady, I kept expecting some revelation that we might be building towards so ultimately I just felt a little underwhelmed.

It’s a compelling feature about love, life and friendship which can be compared to David France’s 2012 documentary How To Survive A Plague, about ACT UP in the United States.

I really enjoyed it but I had higher expectations, having heard all the excitement.
At times it did feel like an 80s adventure movie, from whence it was inspired, but at other times fell a bit flat.
I would have liked to have seen the underneath explored a bit more, but I am very glad it wasn't explained in too much detail.
