Captain Caveman 

and the Teen Angels

This used to be one of the many Hanna-Barbera Productions' shows I watched when I was younger. The story revolves around the adventures of the Teen Angels - Brenda, Dee Dee and Taffy - and their partner Captain Caveman, who they thawed out of a block of ice. The plot was supposed to pretty much be a parody of Charlie's Angels, but with elements from other Hanna-Barbera shows and some of it's own unique twists. The show was always a little strange, but it was funny and as a kid, that seem to be all that really mattered.

The show only had 40 full episodes, around 11 minutes long each, but it was a great show that many people actually still remember. Captain Caveman and his son Cavey Jr. were actually also on The Flinstone Kids, as characters on a show that Fred, Barney, Welma and Betty watched frequently. Captain Caveman also starred in segments of The Flinstone Comedy Show, where he played a role parodying Superman.

Captain Caveman makes a lot of random cameo appearances in some more modern shows, too. For example; in the episode "Perfect Castaway" of Family Guy, Peter talks about Captain Caveman. He also appears in an episode of Robot Chicken, "Ban on the Fun," where he solves a mystery with Shaggy Rogers. He makes a cameo appearance as one of the toys in Finn's room on Adventure Time and he can also be seen in the background in South Park - Imaginationland: The Movie (2008).

If you haven't seen it before, or you haven't seen it in a while, you should watch one of the episodes. It only takes 11 minutes, so why not?

Suits

Suits

So, yet again, I've gone on a binge-watch. This time, I watched Suits. My friend recommended it to me, so I thought; I've got a few days of free time, so why not? I've just started watching season 3, though the show is already halfway through season 4. The show is a legal drama created by Aaron Korsh, based in New York City.

Here is the plot summary:"While running from a drug deal gone bad, Mike Ross, a brilliant young college-dropout, slips into a job interview with one of New York City's best legal closers, Harvey Specter. Tired of cookie-cutter law school grads, Harvey takes a gamble by hiring Mike on the spot after he recognizes his raw talent and photographic memory. Mike and Harvey are a winning team. Even though Mike is a genius, he still has a lot to learn about law. And while Harvey may seem like an emotionless, cold-blooded shark, Mike's sympathy and concern for their cases and clients will help remind Harvey why he went into law in the first place. Mike's other allies in the office include the firm's best paralegal Rachel and Harvey's no-nonsense assistant Donna to help him serve justice. Proving to be an irrepressible duo and invaluable to the practice, Mike and Harvey must keep their secret from everyone including managing partner Jessica and Harvey's arch nemesis Louis, who seems intent on making Mike's life as difficult as possible."- Written by USA Network

It might not sound that exciting yet, but I assure you, it's brilliant. It's full of so much drama, it's insane, but totally worth it. So much happens in this story, it's just so busy, one thing happening after another. If you're not into drama, you won't like this, but I urge you to give it a chance. At first, I thought it wouldn't be that interesting. I mean, why would I want to watch a bunch of people at a law firm? But, it got really good.
Seriously, just watch a few episodes, see if you like it.

Anyway... the main cast:

Harvey Specter
played by Gabriel Macht

Mike Ross
played by Patrick J. Adams

Louis Litt

played by Rick Hoffman

Rachel Zane

played by Meghan Markle

Donna Paulsen

played by Sarah Rafferty

Jessica Pearson

played by Gina Torres

As usual, if you haven't watched it yet, do it now! This show is so worth watching once you get into it. They have an amazing cast and a brilliant story. It's funny, it's intense. You have to try it! There's so much swagger in the show and so much bickering and drama. It's worth the watch, all the way.

Pulp Fiction (1994)

Hey guys, how we all going? Today ill be doing a review on one of my favourite movies; Pulp Fiction, directed by Quentin Tarantino. If you haven't seen this movie, you need to. It's awesome!

The story revolves around a group of separate characters and their lives. All through the movie there are a mix of funny and serious parts, witch show the genius of Quentin Tarantino. The movie is made up of six separate stories, some of which crossover. The first one is about "Hunny Bunny" and "Pumpkin," two small time criminals who are robbing a diner where they were having coffee.

The second one is about Jules Winnfield and his partner in crime, Vincent Vega, who are going to collect a package from some people who owe there boss, Marsellus, some money. After Jules and Vincent collect the package, they kill the entire group, except for one.

The third chapter is mainly about Vincent. In this part of the movie, Vincent has been asked to take Marsellus' wife, Mia, out to dinner. On his way to get her, Vincent picks up some high-grade heroin, which Mia later overdoses on.

In chapter four we meet Butch as a child and his father's friend, who just got back from Vietnam, and tells young Butch the story behind his father's gold watch. Later in the chapter, we see Butch accepting money from Marsellus to throw a fight for him. Butch double crosses Marsellus and runs from him.

In the fifth chapter we go back to Jules and Vincent, who are now driving back with the survivor, when Vincent accidentally shoots him in the head. Needing to get off the road and clean the car, the pair call "The Wolf," a notorious gang member, to help them clean up the car.

In the final chapter, we see Vincent and Jules in a diner, which just happens to be the same one Pumpkin and Hunny Bunny are robbing.

In conclusion, Pulp Fiction is a great movie, one that is definitely worth watching. If you haven't seen it yet, you should watch it now!

Update!!

Happy New Year to everyone!

I hope your year so far has been great and I hope the rest of it will be, too. 

I'm sorry, I've been very busy the last two weeks, but I swear I'll get back to work on the blog in the next few days. 

I finally got around to writing new chapters of Saviour, so there are now 18 published chapters. I'm starting with chapter 19 sometime this week, so hopefully it will be ready by the end of this month or early next month, but I make no promises.

I'll be writing up new reviews this week, so expect them from Friday on wards. Sorry for being so incredibly inconsistent, but we're really going to start working on that this year and updating at the right times and posting when we're supposed to.

If anyone has any ideas on things we could review, feel free to e-mail us or just leave a comment. We'll be happy to hear from you and your opinions are always welcome.
